Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 1 Being Cheated On

“I’m busy right now. You should attend the boy’s parent-teacher meeting at his school.”

At the entrance of Four Seas Corporation.

Alex Jefferson had been standing on duty as usual, when his wife had suddenly rung him up.

Before he could utter a word, the line went dead. It was almost as abrupt as his wife’s tone.

Staring at the phone in his hands, a bitter smile spread across Alex’s face.

His wife’s recent attitude towards him had taken a toll for the worse. Whenever she looked at him, her gaze was always laced with coldness and disappointment.

For others, a relationship usually turned sour, at the age of thirty. Unfortunately, the perils of a failing relationship had arrived at his doorstep, four years early.

Raising his head to glance at the dark clouds that swept across the sky, he realized that there was going to be torrential rain very soon.

Regardless of whether or not he was going to attend the parent-teacher meeting, he still needed to pick his son up from school.

Thus, he put aside his phone and walked toward the manager’s office.

Meanwhile, the manager of the security department, James Langdon, was flirting with the pretty receptionist. He was visibly infuriated, at the sight of Alex barging in without warning, interrupting his romantic advances.

“I didn’t see anything. Do carry on.” Startled, Alex turned to leave.

However, the pretty receptionist was increasingly flustered, as she soon rushed out, before he could even take a step forward.

“Get back here!”

Leaning back on his chair, James pulled out a cigarette and lit it, with much annoyance. Then, he asked impatiently, “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you on duty?”

Alex turned around and replied awkwardly, “Um, Sir, I would like to take a half-day off.”

“Why?” James lazily puffed out a cloud of smoke.

“It’s going to rain any time now. I need to attend my son’s parent-teacher meeting…”

“All you do is laze around, all day at work. Do you think that this is your family-owned company?”

Slamming a fist on the table, James stood up in fury and pointed a finger at Alex, “Look at yourself! A live-in son-in-law of the Jenningses! You bring shame to us men, do you know that? All you do is laze around at work, without doing much. Do you think that this company is the Jennings family, where you can leech off from?”

Alex’s expression darkened, as annoyance crept up in his heart.

Nonetheless, when he thought of the scandal that he had witnessed earlier between James and the receptionist, he realized that the man was simply trying to intimidate him. Hence, he controlled his temper and muttered, “This is the first time I’ve asked for a leave, to attend my son’s parent-teacher meeting…”
