Chapter 382

Jason swung open the car door, hopping out from the passenger side.

Today, he found himself temporarily summoned by Cassius, stepping back into the role of the executive assistant to the CEO of the K Group. Dressed in a sharply tailored slate–grey suit, his eyes stern and piercing, he was a sight for sore eyes.

Admiring glances from female employees were sent his way, but he paid them no mind. Opening the rear car door, he bowed respectfully.

“President Ashbourne, this way.”

Cassius‘ calm and handsome face was void of any emotion, like a flawless and timeless statue.

As he moved his long legs and stepped out of the car, the women around him gasped in awe!

“Damn! He’s so hot! Tonight’s dream material, check!”

“Greedy much? You already have Mr. Abernathy in your dreams, and now you want to add another?”

“Is he really that handsome? I don’t think he’s as good as our Mr. Abernathy.”

“You really don’t appreciate beauty, do you? This man and Mr. Abernathy are two different styles. Mr. Abernathy is devastatingly handsome, while this man is understatedly attractive, silently gripping your heart, even more beguiling, don’t you think?”

“But who is this guy? Why is he showing up at the Abernathy Group’s entrance? Is he looking for someone?

Cassius, as impassive as ever, walked into the entrance of the Abernathy Group building.

Jason followed closely behind. Despite there being only two of them, they exuded an intangible pressure that felt overwhelming to those around them.

Upon reaching the receptionist, Jason spoke first, his voice icy cold, “We’re here for Mr. Abernathy.”

“Mr. Abernathy?!”

The receptionist was taken aback.

Mr. Abernathy was a big shot, someone they hardly saw more than twice a year. His appointments were usually handled by his executive assistant, Gordon. No one just walked in demanding to see Mr. Abernathy.

“Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked, sticking to protocol.

Jason, “No.”

“I’m sorry, but you cannot see Mr. Abernathy without an appointment. Please contact Mr. Gordon.”

“Just let Thaddeus know, or his secretary.”

Cassius, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, “The person who wants to see him is Cassius, CEO of the K Group.”

Cassius.

Cassius?!

The receptionist was dumbfounded. It took her a moment to snap back to reality before she hurriedly picked up the phone to call Gordon.

Without waiting for Gordon to greet them downstairs, Cassius and Jason took the elevator up to the floor where the conference room was located.

As they stepped into the corridor, they were stopped by security guards.

“Tell Mr. Abernathy to come see me.” Cassius spoke, his face expressionless.

“Mr. Abernathy is in an important meeting and cannot see anyone right now. Please leave.” The security guard’s tone was somewhat firm.

Who did they think they were, coming unannounced demanding to see Mr. Abernathy? What did they think this place was?
