Bound to the Lord Protector
The seven of them were also Grand Millenium's branch managers. Together with Olivia, they jointly owned one percent of Grand Millenium's shares. Zeke suddenly noticed that one of the men and women looked a little familiar. Upon taking a closer look, he recognized them to also be his classmates from high school, Dylan Dunn and Summer Mills. Zeke had a good impression of Summer because she had helped him a lot back in school, often lending him pencils and erasers. She often invited him for lunch. She also made sure to make him a few extra dishes, in case he didn't have enough to eat the next day. “Dylan, Summer, look who I've bumped into,” Olivia smirked. “Our old friend, Zeke Williams.” Dylan and Summer wore a startled expression when they saw Zeke. “Zeke, I heard you went to jail after graduation. I didn't expect you to be released so soon,” Dylan jeered. Zeke had a cold look on his face as he kept silent. Dylan and Olivia were two peas in a pod since high school, rude and snobbish. “Okay, that's enough.” Summer quickly eased the situation, helping Zeke. “We've just met after so long. Let's leave the past behind us.” “Do you work here, Zeke?” Zeke nodded. “Yeah.” “Hmph, he didn't admit it when I asked if he's a security guard here just now,” Olivia mocked. “Aren't you embarrassed now that you're exposed?” “You can't just say that to his face, Olivia,” Dylan said. “We're classmates. How can he admit he's just a security guard after seeing his former classmates doing so well?” “Besides, he was once your admirer. Of course, he would want to keep his pride.”“Shut up!” Olivia reproached. “Never mention that in front of me ever again. It's one shame of my life.” “Oh, whatever. Let's just hurry inside and sign the transfer contract. We don't want to keep my boyfriend waiting.” “Your boyfriend?” Dylan asked with a face full of curiosity. Olivia winked at Dylan. “Duh, my boyfriend is the one who's going to acquire our shares today.” Realizing Olivia was pretending, Dylan quickly cooperated, saying, “Yeah, yeah. How could I forget about that?” “Can't you see, Zeke? Olivia has a boyfriend now with a net worth of ten million. You can forget about courting her, you little security guard.” Olivia and Dylan then walked away. “You know how they are, Zeke,” Summer stayed back, consoling. “They don't mean what they say. Don't take offence at them.” Zeke smiled. “I won't.” “But it's a little waste of talent for you to work here as a security guard,” Summer said. “I'll introduce you to a promising job when I have the time.” “Summer, come on!” Dylan shouted, not giving Zeke a chance to respond. “Why bother talking to him?” “If he holds us up from signing the transfer contract, I'll kill him.” Summer looked embarrassed. “Uh... I'm gonna go catch up with them.” “Why don't you wait here for a while. I'll buy you a meal later.” Zeke nodded. “Come on. Let's go inside.” “Inside?” Summer was taken aback. “To the conference room to sign the contract.” Zeke smiled. Summer looked dazed. This guy is still so vain and competitive. Won't you feel embarrassed if your lie is uncovered? “They're here. Come down and sign the contract,” Zeke spoke to Susan on the phone as he walked. “Alright,” Susan replied.
