Chapter 42
Since their bosses had left, the two administrative clerks and the three sergeants, who were in charge of security, followed suit.
Nonetheless, the three detectives from the police station were confused. They were on a mission to catch the culprit. Given the situation now, they wouldn’t dare to take action anymore, so they were wondering if they should enter the building or head back to the station.
Besides the detectives, Kevin was perplexed too.
After two days of observation, he roughly understood how distinguished Draco Chamber of Commerce was compared to Paramount Chamber of Commerce.
After all, Galaxy Group was just one of the members under Draco Chamber of Commerce, yet its person-in-charge had stumped up a billion to acquire Oriental Tower. As such, the significance of Draco Chamber of Commerce was evident.
Meanwhile, Kevin could feel his body trembling as he regretted his arrogant behavior at the Lynch’s last night.
Oh, shucks! It seems like the Lynch family is a big shot! If I knew Jacob is someone whom even the executives of Galaxy Group respect, I wouldn’t be so rude last night. I can’t believe I actually offered to introduce him to the chamber of commerce!
Recalling his manners last night, Kevin felt his face burning.
On the other hand, Zayn and John halted their steps when they saw people walking out of the tower.
John cast an inquisitive glance at Jacob before asking Jerry with a smile, “Mr. Locker, what is this about?”
“We have some other matters to attend to,” Jerry, who was left behind, waved his hand and replied casually.
Zayn took a step back and nodded. “Don’t worry. We’ll handle the situation here.”
Ignoring Zayn and John, Jacob strode forward but stopped all of a sudden.
Kevin’s heart jolted. Looking guilty, he was pondering if he should feign a happy look or pretend not to know Jacob.
Jacob gazed at Kevin and wore a half smile. “Uncle Kevin, you should go for a drink with my dad again when you’re free.” Kevin lifted his face with a confounded look.
After expressing his kind intention, Jacob walked away.
Although it was totally unnecessary to say those words to Kevin, Jacob thought there was no harm in helping him.
After watching Jacob and Franklin get into an average car, Zayn retracted his gaze and turned to shoot a profounding glance at Kevin.
Standing aside, John looked at Kevin calmly and uttered, “Mr. Chegg, did the man just now address you as uncle?”
Kevin inhaled and answered softly with his head lowered. “Mr. Fred, Mr. Walton, my cousin is the young man’s mother.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
His cousin? Zayn and John’s eyes lit up at once.
Zayn patted Kevin’s shoulder and said, “Good job, Mr. Chegg. Keep up the good work.”
John gave Kevin a kind smile and turned to tease Zayn. “Mr. Fred, it seems like there are a handful of big shots in your chamber of commerce.”
“We’re far from the talented men in your office, Mr. Walton,” Zayn replied courteously before turning to speak to Kevin. “This way, Mr. Chegg. We’ll need your kind assistance in the upcoming projects of the chamber of commerce and Oriental Tower.”
Holding back his excitement, Kevin lowered his head and answered in a servile manner, “Sure, Mr. Fred.”
“I’m impressed by your humility. You’ve got a bright future ahead!” Zayn praised generously.
Kevin pressed his lips and wore a calm expression. After taking a few steps forward, a bright smile came into sight.
Another staff member from the chamber of commerce whispered to Kevin with an envious smile, “We’re counting on you, Mr. Chegg.”
