King's Back

Chapter 12 Obstructive

Well, it seemed that this man was exactly the so-call husband of Ms. Dolcie. Since Arlo did not go to work this morning. It was natural for him to have little knowledge about it.

“Boy, since you are under my control. Just wait for my show.”

At the thought that his beloved goddess, Ms. Dolcie, had to condescend to live with such a wimp, Arlo felt like smashing his ass.

Well, after all, Arlo still deemed himself as one of those upper class members. Of course he had to pretend to be a gentleman.

Then he just casually cast a glimpse at Jackson.

“Well, you are Jackson Owen, right? I am the manager of the sales department and I know that you just reported to the department. Don’t worry. I will take care of you in the following days. Well, just have a seat. Let us have a discussion about automobile, okay? What kind of automobile

do you own?”

Arlo was quite aware of the fact that Jackson was totally dependent on the Clark Family and he did not possess much fortune. So he tried all means to embarrass Jackson in public.

But Jackson just responded with a casual smile. As if he didn’t catch his words, he just turned around and left.

“Humph, how dare you that arrogant enough to turn deaf to my words. You will pay the price later.”

Arlo had never expected that Jackson would be so arrogant to ignore his words. From his point of view, Jackson was just a poor wimp.

There had been a meeting arranged by the sales department lasting for the whole afternoon for hours. When the meeting was dismissed, every members of the department started to gather to chat. When Jackson came in, no one talked to him. It seemed that they all wanted to just avoid chatting with him.

Then, Arlo released a sneer.

“Jackson, I know it is your first time to work. But you should behave yourself when you are working.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Then Arlo came to Jackson and continued, “Well, there is a mission assigned by the company and I hope you can finish it well. But if you fail, you know the rules of our department, right? You salary will be deducted accordingly.”

Arlo started to set a trap against Jackson.

“No problem.” Jackson just accepted without hesitation.

Even Arlo and other onlookers were a bit stunned for his promise.

They just expected that Jackson would try to refuse, but he just accepted it without hesitation.

But soon, Arlo let out a weird smile.

“Great, you are indeed a straightforward man. Here is the case. Now our company needs a spokesperson. Though we have made a few contacts with some celebrities, they all turned down our offer... So I hope you can come up with a solution before your off-duty time.”

Such a mission was not a nonsense created by Arlo, but a rather tricky work indeed.

Those onlookers all flinched with pale faces when hearing that.

A few agents had paid a visit to a few celebrities, butthey all failed. Some of them were even driven out by those agents of those celebrities.

“So what do you think? Do you have any good ideas?” Arlo said casually with his legs crossed while looking at Jackson.

Those people present all knew that Arlo was trying to make things difficult for Jackson. But no one dared to show their objection.

Dolcie was about to say something as excuses to bail Jackson out. But Jackson himself started to said something,

“Only a popular celebrity would be okay, right?”

“What? Only a popular celebrity?” Someone even could not help but laughing out loud.

“Jackson, come on. It is still working hours. Please behave yourself okay? Stop making jokes.” Jackson said seriously.

“I did not joke.”

“You just said only a popular celebrity! Don’t you think it is a joke?”

All those men or women who got involved in the entertainment industry could be deem celebrity. No matter they were A-lister, B-lister or even C-lister. But a popular celebrity was a different case. Only those who were recognized as an A-lister could be deem popular celebrity.

To complete such a mission, Arlo even manoeuvred his powerful family background to search for celebrity. But he still failed to get the suitable one to be the spokesperson for the company. But Jackson just simply said only a popular celebrity would be okay.

“Jackson, you are really arrogant. I do want to see whether you could manage to invite a popular celebrity to be the spokesperson.” Sasha said with mockery.

“Humph, you are just a poor and powerless boy. If it weren’t for the capability of Ms. Dolcie, you would be a beggar long time ago. Well, look at you, now you are even so bold that you dare to say ‘only a popular celebrity would be okay’ for the first day of your work. Are you trying to belittle us by saying that?” One of the female employees said with disdain.

“Okay, that’s enough. Since Jackson had accepted the task, we shall just wait and see. Now you are free to get down to your business, Jackson. By the way, you don’t even have your own car, right?”

Arlo seemed to remind of something, and he said, “Well, the shared car owned by our company is not available today. You can hail a taxi on you own. Oh, sorry, but I have to inform you that we will not cover the fee of the taxi.”

Jackson did not say anything else but said, “It is okay. I will just call her to tell her to come here.”

“Hahaha, what? You mean you can do it by just making a call? You make a call to the celebrity to make her here?”

“Are you fooling me?” Arlo shouted with anger.

“No, I am serious.” Jackson shrugged while replying.

When everyone here ridiculed Jackson for his ignorant words, he just took out his cellphone and dialed a number.
