I want that apartment. The receptionist opened her mouth and looked at Keith in
disbelief. It wasn't common knowledge, but she knew that this agency was part of the
Carrington group.
If Keith really did have some relation to Magnus with just one word from him, she'd be
fired on the spot. She looked at Keith, then turned to the rich couple at a total loss as to
what to do. The man in shades stared at Keith.
Keith had clearly wanted to humiliate him and in front of his girlfriend as well. He was in
a difficult situation, and he said angrily, Stop bragging. I'll pay $8,000 a month.
Keith's face darkened, and he said, Well, I'll pay $12,000. What? Everyone gasped once
again. $12,000? The other man's face turned ashen, and he fell silent.
Seeing this, Keith smiled and said, You were so sure of yourself just a moment ago. How
about this? Apologize to me, and then take your girlfriend and get out of here. I'll forget
this ever happened.
Otherwise, you'll need that $8,000 to cover your medical expenses. You're threatening
me? The man's face turned red, and the woman beside him looked at Keith with fear.
Suddenly, the guy in shades seemed to think of something.
He laughed and said, You said $12,000, but this place needs six months in advance. Are
you seriously telling me you have $72,000 ready to drop on the deposit? The more he
thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He said loudly, If you can prove to me
you have $72,000, I'll bow down and kiss your shoes.
Even the receptionist seemed to come back to her senses at this, and she cast a
doubtful look at Keith. Sir, this is a high-end agency. Unless you're serious and have the
money, please don't waste our time.
Keith looked from the young couple to the receptionist and smirked. He took his phone
out of his pocket. The onlookers held their breath.
That was a brand-new iPhone Pro Max. It was not a cheap phone. Perhaps this kid really
did have $72,000.
Keith pulled up his various bank balances. On the screen, it showed that the total was
$3.97 million. There was the sound of several people drawing their breath at once.
Then, there was complete silence. The receptionist's face turned red and then pale
again. The man in shades was stunned.
The next moment, his face turned red too. Thinking of what he'd just said, he really
wanted to find a hole to hide in. After the initial shock, the stylish young woman beside
him looked at Keith with a different expression.
If Keith's aura hadn't been so strong, she would definitely have gone and sucked up to
him. You've fulfilled the wish of the crowd to watch the show. Wish value plus one.
Progress ten of ten. You can make a wish. You've broken the man and the receptionist's
wish to get rid of you.
Attribute point plus one. Keith put away his phone and looked at the other man's red
face. He said calmly, you said it yourself.
If you want to kneel down and kiss my shoes, please go ahead. The man in the shades
face turned even redder. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd that had gathered, he
didn't know whether to stay or go.
At that moment, a new group of people came through the door. A beautiful lady walked
in, followed by several bodyguards in black suits. When the receptionist saw her, she
quickly went over to greet her.
Hello, Director Carrington. The lady nodded. My family's shallow bay villa.
Ah. Before she could finish her sentence, she spotted Keith and exclaimed, Keith, why
are you here? Keith said with a faint smile of Director Carrington. If you can do business
here, why can't I? The lady was Gwen Carrington, who had been so scared by Keith last
night that her knees had gone weak and she'd crumpled to the floor.
Gwen stuttered for a moment before nodding to her bodyguards and turning around to
leave. However, Keith's faint voice came from behind her. Since you only just got here, he said, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Gwen trembled at Keith's words and her
reaction made the onlookers' eyes drop out of their sockets.
Their mouths fell open in shock. Gwen was Magnus Carrington's wife and also the vice
chairman of the Carrington group. She often appeared on TV and was known across the
entire state, and now it appeared that this upper-class lady knew Keith.
In fact, they seemed to be quite familiar with each other. More importantly, she seemed
to be afraid of Keith. Who was this handsome guy dressed in such ordinary clothes?
Once the couple and the receptionist overcame their initial shock, their expressions
became very ugly.
The man in shades even trembled slightly. His father's wealth was nothing compared to
the Carrington group's. Keith took a look at everyone's expressions and said
indifferently, Ms. Carrington, I heard that you're the boss here.
You don't follow the rules when doing things? As he spoke, he looked at the receptionist.
His meaning was obvious. Gwen was very nervous at this moment.
Although she knew that Keith wouldn't do anything to her, she was very afraid. She took
a deep breath and calmed her emotions down. Then she looked at the receptionist and
said, You're fired.
The receptionist's face turned pale. She almost cried. She suddenly grabbed Keith's
sleeve and said, Sir, I'm sorry.
I was wrong. I need this job. Please forgive me.
Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner as an apology. Keith frowned. He saw that
the receptionist was about to cry.
She even hinted that she would compensate him with her body. It seemed that this job
was really important to her. Keith sighed and said, You don't have to treat me to dinner.
You're not my employee. I don't have the right to decide whether or not to fire you. As
he spoke, he looked at Gwen and said, Does your company not have rules and
regulations? Mrs. Carrington, aren't you being a little too hasty? As Gwen calmed down,
she began to understand that it must have been her employees and the rich young
couple who caused the problem.
Even her husband was afraid of Keith, and Gwen was deeply worried that Keith wouldn't
be happy. She hurriedly nodded and said, You're right. I'll look into the matter and make
sure it's taken care of properly.
The onlookers were stunned when they heard this. Gwen was treating Keith like he was
the president of her company. The receptionist was relieved and looked at Keith gratefully
