Chapter 10 Repay Me With Your Body
- Raelynn's assistant, Linda, trailed behind her.
- Elio held no particular affection for Raelynn.
- Though this woman was undeniably beautiful, stunning to the point of being breathtaking, she was quick to judge. After he had done his utmost to save Kayden, she had the audacity to slap him. The memory still stirred a sense of indignation within him!
- Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? That you can hit anyone you want just because you're pretty?
- Upon seeing the female CEO, William's face immediately lit up with a look of utter infatuation. He couldn't stop muttering under his breath, “My goddess is here. I can't believe I'm seeing my goddess with my own eyes...”
- Simon scurried over, his demeanor as submissive as could be, and spoke in a deferential tone. “Ms. Ryton, are you here for an inspection? If so, I wish you would have informed me in advance so I could have made the necessary arrangements.”
- Raelynn glanced at Simon, her voice cool and detached as she asked, “What's going on here?”
- “Ms. Ryton, these people were assaulted by this scoundrel! He is the worst employee we've ever had. He caused a significant loss to our client due to an accident yesterday. We fired him for that, and he came back for revenge today, beating up Keith and the others! Ms. Ryton, rest assured that I will handle this situation. I'm calling the police right away to get this brute arrested!”
- Simon pointed at Elio, nearly spitting in his agitation, and spoke in a tone of utter frustration.
- Raelynn glanced at Elio, asking, “Did you fight with Keith and his crew?”
- Elio responded nonchalantly, “That's right, Ms. Ryton. I beat them up!”
- “Don't you want to explain yourself?” Raelynn asked.
- “I was just beating up some trash, so there's nothing much to explain,” Elio responded.
- Raelynn raised an eyebrow.
- Meanwhile, Keith was still wailing, “Ms. Ryton, you have to stand up for me. This brute has crushed my hands! How am I supposed to contribute to the company in the future?”
- “He broke my leg! How am I supposed to work hard for you, Ms. Ryton?”
- “My bottom is still hurting even now!”
- The others were also tattling on Elio.
- “William, call the d*mn police now!” Simon shouted at William.
- However, at that moment, William seemed to have made up his mind. He said, “Ms. Ryton, Mr. Ziegler, I don't want to call the police, nor will I. I want to speak on behalf of Elio.”
- “What the hell are you talking about! Elio has done something serious and should be in jail for at least six months! Call the police now!” Simon said angrily.
- “Let him speak!” Raelynn declared while staring at William.
- William mustered up the courage to say, “I know why Elio hit Mr. Escobar and the others. It's all because Mr. Escobar was spreading rumors everywhere, tarnishing Elio's reputation. He claimed that Elio was behaving indecently with the underwear of a female property owner, but that's not even the worst part. Keith secretly extorted two thousand from Elio, claiming it was the company's compensation to the property owner. In reality, there was no such thing. He was simply blackmailing and embezzling! They were even trying to attack Elio in the office earlier, which led to Elio fighting back and reducing them to this state! I'm aware that by revealing this truth, Mr. Ziegler and Mr. Escobar won't let me off the hook, but I've decided that I can always quit this job if it comes to that!”
- “You...”
- Simon's expression was livid with rage as he shot a fierce glare at William.
- Elio felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He gave William a pat on the shoulder and said, “You're a good friend!”
- Upon hearing these words, Raelynn's pretty face instantly turned solemn.
- Her gaze was piercing as she glanced at Simon, her voice icy as she questioned, “Is this true?”
- “Ms. Ryton, I... I'm not quite sure!” Simon hastily turned to Keith. “Is this true?”
- Keith remained silent, and it was apparent that he didn't want to tell the truth.
- With a cold huff, Raelynn demanded, “Linda, make him tell the truth!”
- “Yes, Ms. Ryton!”
- Linda strode forward swiftly, gripping Keith by the collar and hoisting him up abruptly. Then, with a swift kick to his abdomen, she sent him flying.
- “You better tell Ms. Ryton the whole truth. If you dare to tell a single lie, I'll break your legs on the spot!”
- Such violence!
- Simon watched as Linda made her move, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.
- Blood trickled from Keith's mouth as he hastily raised his arm, pleading, “I'll confess! I was the one who spread false rumors and tarnished Elio's reputation. I also extorted two thousand from him and had my men beat him up...”
- Keith's words had Raelynn's expression becoming frosty.
- She never imagined that such a lowlife would exist within her own company. Not only did he tarnish the reputation of his colleague, but he also extorted him...
- “Mr. Ziegler, I hope you will handle this appropriately,” Raelynn said, her gaze on Simon icy and unyielding.
- “Absolutely, Ms. Ryton, rest assured,” Simon said, visibly worried, sweat beading on his forehead. “I will deal with Keith and his team properly. If it comes to it, I won't hesitate to fire them or even send them to the police station if necessary!”
- Immediately after, Raelynn's gaze fell upon the figure of William.
- “Your name is William Atkinson, right? I admire your courage to speak up for your friend. Since Keith can no longer continue working, why don't you take over his role? You'll enjoy the benefits of a manager, and your salary will triple!”
- Initially, William had thought he was going to be fired as well. Upon hearing these words, he was instantly stunned.
- “I-I...”
- William's voice trembled with excitement, and he was on the verge of shedding tears.
- He hadn't expected that Raelynn would admire him so much!
- William slapped his chest and declared, “Rest assured, Ms. Ryton. I will put my heart and soul into this job and do it well!”
- Then he turned around, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he said to Elio, “El, did you hear that? I'm going to be treated like a manager from now on, and Ms. Ryton has tripled my salary...”
- Elio was delighted for William as well. “William, this is truly what you deserve!”
- After sorting out the matter at hand, Raelynn finally turned her attention to Elio. She said, “Elio, I'd like to have a word with you in private.”
- William, who was still buoyant from joy and surprise, froze upon hearing Raelynn's words. She actually wants to have a private chat with El? Good heavens, could such a wonderful thing really happen?
- Elio gave a nod despite still feeling rather miffed about Raelynn hitting him previously.
- Nonetheless, he was quite satisfied with the way she promoted and gave William a raise and dealt with Keith's matter in a fair manner.
- Elio followed behind Raelynn, heading toward the conference room. However, his eyes couldn't help but admire the woman's shapely figure under her uniform skirt and her attractive legs clad in black stockings...
- The silhouette of this woman was truly breathtaking.
- Deep down, Elio couldn't help but marvel.
- Upon entering the conference room and closing the door behind them, only Raelynn and Elio were left inside.
- “Ms. Ryton, just say what you have to say. It's getting late, and I need to get back for some rest,” Elio said.
- “Elio, my dad woke up earlier,” Raelynn suddenly stated.
- “Congratulations,” Elio said indifferently.
- “Elio, I'm sorry!”
- As Raelynn uttered these words, she suddenly gave Elio a deep bow.
- Watching Raelynn bow in apology, Elio couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. He never would have expected this domineering female CEO to bow and apologize to him!
- This instantly made him feel considerably happier.
- “Ms. Ryton, there's no need for this. Mr. Ryton is a philanthropist and has helped many people. For that reason alone, I must step in to help him,” Elio stated calmly.
- Raelynn straightened, her face full of gratitude as she gazed at Elio. “No matter what, you saved my father, and in doing so, you saved me! I really don't know how to thank you. Name your reward. As long as it's within my capabilities, I promise to fulfill it.”
- Elio cast a glance at the stunningly beautiful woman in black standing in front of him before a playful smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “So, would you agree if I asked you to repay me with your body?”
