A Small World

The next morning.

After making breakfast, Charles hurriedly left on his electric bike.

Before he left, he even heard Jennifer's complaint.

"Stop pretending. You're going to divorce Nina anyway!"

Charles ignored her and went straight to Oceanus Group's headquarters.

Oceanus Group was in the center of Southampton. Its headquarters was a 60-story building that towered into the sky.

The workers here were all elites, so the security measures were superior.

When Charles arrived at the entrance, the guard blocked him. He tried to explain to the guard, but the guard still did not let him in.

"I've seen many people like you trying to break the rules and sneak in. If you want to enter the Oceanus Group's headquarters, you have to be an employee here or have a recommendation."

"Mister, I'm not lying. I'm here for an interview!"

Charles's mouth twitched.

He had been in a rush this morning and had forgotten to contact Uncle Nelson.

The guard glanced at him.

"That's enough. You can't get in without a recommendation or an appointment!"

Charles didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guard was too dedicated to his job!

On the other hand, the guard's thoughts were simple.

Yesterday, there was a rumor that Oceanus Group was preparing for a huge change.

They were going to interview a batch of new employees in the next few days.

Oceanus Group was a leading enterprise in Southampton. Those who could work here were graduates from famous universities or had a strong background.

The guard sized Charles up. Charles was wearing plain clothes, and his entire outfit was not even worth 20 dollars. He did not look like a first-class graduate.

Moreover, the guard could not let a stranger without an appointment into the company.

"Mister, I'm really here for an interview! If you don't believe me, you can follow me!"

"No, I'll be fined if I leave my post without permission!"

Charles gritted his teeth, but the guard at the gate didn't let him in!

"In that case, I'll make a phone call first ..."

Charles didn't want to waste his time, so he called Uncle Nelson.

"Hmph, you're just putting on an act! I'd like to see what you'll do to get through this gate." The guard sneered.

Uncle Nelson's deep voice came from the other end of the line.

"What's wrong, Charles?"

After Charles explained the situation, Uncle Nelson's deep voice came through the phone again.

"I understand. I'll give John Smith a call now."

When the guard heard this, he was shocked. This young man really had a strong background.

He knew the president of Oceanus Group, John Smith!

"I'm sorry for my rudeness. Please come in." The guard smiled apologetically.

Charles didn't blame him. After all, the guard was doing his duty.

Then, Charles turned his head and saw a young man and woman walking over.

The man was dressed in a delicate suit and had a very stylish appearance.

The woman was pretty. She was holding the man's arm with a sweet expression.

Charles was surprised and thought, "What a small world!"

The man was Trevor, who had threatened Charles to divorce yesterday!

The woman was Trevor's fiancée, Grace Nelson.

Trevor had also noticed Charles and asked in surprise, "Charles, what are you doing here? I was just about to look for you!"

Grace echoed, "It's so unlucky to meet this trash early in the morning!"

Charles furrowed his brows.

Trevor's eyes filled with viciousness.

"You ran really fast yesterday. I didn't even have time to react before you disappeared."

"What?" Charles coldly replied. "Do you want to fight again?"

Trevor's body trembled.

Charles was strong and vigorous. If they fought, Trevor would not be a match for Charles.

Trevor paused and changed the topic, "You're lucky today. I have things to do in Oceanus Group. I'll deal with you when I finish!"

"Grace, let's go!"

Grace followed Trevor and accidentally brushed past Charles. She hurriedly dusted off the dust on her shoulders. Her eyes were full of disgust.

"Why do I have to bump into the trash in the morning?"

"It's okay, Grace," Trevor consoled, "When I've arranged a job for you at Oceanus Group, let's get a room. I'll help you get rid of all your bad luck!"

 As soon as he finished speaking, the guard at the gate stopped the two of them.

"Do you have an appointment?"

Trevor was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.

Charles also looked at him with a smug.

When Charles heard Trevor's words just now, he thought Trevor had a lot of power in Oceanus Group and could get a position at any time.

Now, Trevor looked like a clown.

Grace couldn't help but frown. "Trevor, what's going on? Didn't you say that you would let me work at Oceanus Group? My parents said if you can arrange a job for me at Oceanus Group, they will let me marry you!"

Trevor panicked and smiled apologetically, "Wait! There must be a mistake!"

He turned to the two security guards and said, "I'm a good friend of Mr. Hamilton. Please do me a favor!"

The middle-aged security guard said sternly, "Young man, we have more than one Mr. Hamilton here. Which one are you talking about?"

 Trevor was stunned.

Young Master Hamilton only told Trevor to talk with his second uncle, but Young Master Hamilton forgot to tell Trevor his second uncle's name.

This time, he was totally at a loss.

Seeing this, Charles couldn't help but laugh.

The next second, Charles realized his laugh was too loud. He hurriedly covered his mouth.

Trevor felt even more embarrassed. Being ridiculed by this Charles was the biggest humiliation in his life!

"What are you laughing at? I would've beaten you to death if Grace were not here!" He blushed and retorted.

"I'm here to look for a job." Charles shrugged his shoulders.

Trevor couldn't believe what he had heard. He then laughed in anger. "You want to work here? It took me a lot of effort to get into Oceanus Group. You're just a piece of trash. How can you get a job here?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Charles asked with a frown.

Trevor sneered and asked, "Are you here to apply as a security guard or to clean the toilets?".

Grace revealed a disdainful expression, "How annoying. A piece of junk dares to retort us."

Afterward, Grace threw the tissue she had just used on the ground!

Charles ignored the tissue and looked coldly at her.

Grace's frowned in anger and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick it up! Isn't that your job?"

Trevor took the opportunity to mock Charles, "You're a piece of useless trash, but we're still relatives. I'm willing to help you! I'm helping Grace find a job today. Why don't I help you to get a toilet cleaning job?"

Then, Trevor took out a piece of tissue and threw it on the ground after wiping his nose.

"No, thank you. I'll leave the toilet cleaner vacancies to you two! You guys fit right in the toilet-cleaning job." Charles said coldly with a frown.

"You're the one who's suitable for a toilet-cleaning job. I bet your whole family work in the toilets too!" Trevor was furious!

"But we are relatives, remember? Doesn't that mean that you're also working in the toilet?"

"You!"

Trevor pointed at Charles's nose and spoke incoherently.

Charles was too lazy to bother with them and walked into Oceanus Group.

Trevor found it unbelievable. He looked at the guard and said, "Mister, how can he enter?"

The guard shrugged. "He just called someone that Mr. Smith knows. I don't dare to offend him."

"What?" Trevor exclaimed, and his face darkened. "You've been deceived. He's our family's useless son-in-law!"

The guard was shocked and began to ponder.

He thought Charles might have really lied to him.

"Stop!" The guard shouted, causing Charles to stop in his tracks.

"Young man, did you just fool me?"

"This again? Are you serious?" Charles replied impatiently.

Trevor also jumped out at this time. "Pfft, who doesn't know that you're a useless son-in-law? How could you know Mr. Smith?"

Trevor then changed the topic and laughed. "How about this? You kneel and apologize to me. I can let go of what happened yesterday. I can even help you get a job here."

"What are you saying? You can't even get through the gate!" Charles replied.

Charles's words once again made Trevor choke.

Trevor took out his phone and said furiously, "Open your eyes! I'm going to call Mr. Hamilton right now!"

Then, Trevor took out his phone and walked away.

At this moment, an urgent phone call came from the security booth.

One of the guards immediately picked up the phone.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, the guard's face became serious.

"Which one of you is Nelson?"

When Charles heard this, he frowned and was about to raise his hand, but Grace replied before him, "Me! What's wrong? Do you want to put me on the ban list?"

The next second, the guard was stunned as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. He said trembly, "So you're Miss Nelson..."

Grace's face was full of disbelief.

Then, she looked at Trevor slowly walking toward her, and her beautiful eyes filled with gentleness.

Unbelievable. Trevor's one phone call was enough to make the security guard completely change his attitude!

 Grace pounced on Trevor happily, which surprised Trevor.

"Miss Nelson, Mr. Trevor, please come in. Sorry for my rudeness!" The guard said, "I didn't expect you to be Mr. Smith 's guest!"

The executive director of Oceanus Group called the guard just now. That was why the guard changed his attitude so quickly.

Thinking of this, the guard couldn't help but slap himself.

How could Trevor be a nobody?

Grace saw the guard's apologetic attitude was quite sincere, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. It's easy to get confused when you need to deal with that kind of trash. "

At the same time, Grace was extremely surprised.

Trevor knew John Smith, the president of Oceanus Group!

The guard was relieved.

On the other hand, Trevor was dumbfounded. He couldn't get to Mr. Hamilton's phone just now, so what exactly happened?

Furthermore, other than Young Master Hamilton, there was no way he would know someone like John Smith!

However, Trevor cleared his throat and said, "Alright, I won't blame you. However, you have to keep that idiot out of the entrance! I don't want to see him when I come out!"

The guard nodded and bowed. Trevor just called a phone call to the president, so he must be a big shot in Southampton!

At this moment, Charles's cold voice rang out.

"Trevor, are you sure they are looking for you?"
