Invisible Security Guard
Chapter 310: Kiss

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Kiss

"How did you know Mr. Holloway?" Ruth Wilcox asked, her face full of surprise when she heard Yusuf Zuck mention knowing Mr. Holloway. Herman Holloway was the general manager of New Century, so it shouldn’t be possible for him to have any intersection with Yusuf Zuck, should it?

"I met him through a friend, and just this morning we ran into each other at breakfast. I paid for his meal!"

"Well, since you know him, that makes things easier." Ruth Wilcox sighed softly. If Yusuf Zuck knew Herman Holloway, then bringing Yusuf Zuck with her, Mr. Holloway shouldn’t give them a hard time. Besides, Mr. Holloway had already agreed to let her choose her own driver yesterday.

The two left the office and continued down the corridor. At the very end of the hall was the general manager’s office.

It was just 7:30 in the morning, but Mr. Holloway would surely have been there early.

Ruth Wilcox knocked on the door, and they heard Mr. Holloway’s voice from inside inviting them to come in.

Ruth Wilcox opened the door and went in, with Yusuf Zuck following behind her.

"Ms. Wilcox has arrived... uh... Yusuf? What brings you here?" Herman Holloway was taken aback when he saw Yusuf Zuck behind Ruth Wilcox, filling his face with surprise as well.

"Mr. Holloway, good to see you." Yusuf Zuck took a couple of quick steps forward and shook hands with Herman Holloway.

At that moment, Ruth Wilcox said, "Mr. Holloway, I just heard from Yusuf that you two know each other, and he is the driver I was looking for."

"Yusuf as your driver?" Herman Holloway was stunned for a second and asked in confusion, "Isn’t Yusuf a doctor?"

"He doesn’t have a medical license. Plus, when I was in Hong Kong, Yusuf worked as security for Hong Kong and was also my driver. Now that he’s back in the country and unemployed, I thought..." Ruth Wilcox told a little lie, as there was no way around it if she wanted to spend every day with Yusuf Zuck.

"Yusuf has been a security guard and a driver as well, haha, alright, no problem." Herman Holloway laughed heartily, looking down on Yusuf Zuck even more in his heart, thinking Yusuf was just a little pretty boy who sold out his sister and was now clinging to a woman.

"But Yusuf, there are rules in the company, and once you join, I hope you will follow all the company’s regulations. We may know each other, but at the company we’re colleagues, and off the clock, we’re friends," Herman Holloway started speaking officially, needing to give Yusuf Zuck a bit of a warning, otherwise, Yusuf might misuse their acquaintance to misbehave in the company.

"I understand, Mr. Holloway," Yusuf Zuck nodded.

"Well, Ms. Wilcox, is there anything else? Where do you want to eat dinner tonight? I’m offering to host tonight’s meal," Herman Holloway said, his small eyes fixated on Ruth Wilcox, his gaze sweeping over her fair neck and chest.

This Mr. Holloway was a lecher. When he first saw Ruth Wilcox, he was stunned by her beauty and praised headquarters for sending him such an excellent deputy manager. Certainly, with more opportunities to work with Ruth Wilcox, he was confident that in the end, he would have her.

He planned to take her on business trips, overseas, to cocktail parties, and other events to frequently create opportunities for them to be alone together. So he believed he would eventually get this beautiful returnee into bed.

Moreover, Herman Holloway didn’t take Yusuf Zuck seriously. Even though Yusuf came to be Ruth’s driver, he didn’t believe this returnee, Ms. Wilcox, would have any illicit relationship with Yusuf Zuck.

Their personalities were just too different. How could a woman of Ms. Wilcox’s taste be attracted to someone like Yusuf? And Ms. Wilcox probably had Yusuf come over to drive for her out of a sense of nostalgia and convenience, so she called him up.

"Mr. Holloway, I’m sorry, I have plans with a friend tonight," Ruth Wilcox declined indifferently. She didn’t like Herman Holloway either; something about him felt off, as if he wasn’t a sincere person.

"Oh, then tomorrow it is. After you arrive, we must have a meal to welcome you. The department heads from other sections of the company will be attending as well, so if you have any appointments tomorrow night, make sure to cancel them. As the vice president, you should let everyone get to know you; otherwise, if they don’t recognize you, that won’t do!"

"Alright, tomorrow night then," Ruth Wilcox nodded gently in agreement.

"Yeah, go get busy. Get familiar with your duties as soon as possible, and Yusuf, do a good job. I have high hopes for you," Herman Holloway said with an official tone before sitting down without any intention to see them out.

He was the boss, so why would he see off a vice president and a driver?

Yusuf followed Ruth out and then went to the finance and human resources departments for registration.

"Ruth, is Herman Holloway competent, or does he hold shares in New Century?" Yusuf asked, returning to Ruth’s office perplexed.

"He is competent, or else the board wouldn’t have decided to let him steer the entire ship. As for shares, he probably doesn’t have any." Ruth shook her head, "Before I came to Beijing, I went to Hong Kong and saw all the shareholders in the headquarters’ meeting room, so Herman Holloway isn’t a shareholder."

"All the shareholders?" Yusuf narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, except for the major shareholder who didn’t come, everyone was there. However, I heard that the major shareholder doesn’t handle affairs and now the second director is taking care of all of New Century’s business!" Ruth, unaware that Yusuf was the major shareholder of New Century, didn’t notice the thoughtful look on his face.

"Can you tell me what kind of company New Century is? I’m very interested in getting into the industry," Yusuf smiled, sitting across from Ruth.

"New Century is a five-star hotel registered in Hong Kong, invested in by ’Eternal Capital.’ There are many shareholders," Ruth smiled, "For a hotel like this, typically, many wealthy people invest money and then let professional managers run the hotel. They hold phantom shares, and at the end of the year, they just collect dividends."

"So, what powers does the largest shareholder have here?" Yusuf asked curiously.

"You really want to get into the industry? Then tell me, how much money do you have?" Ruth counter-asked.

"I have several billions. Maybe one day I will acquire New Century and make you the general manager, kicking Herman Holloway out!"

"Bragging... giggle giggle giggle..." Upon hearing Yusuf’s unrestrained words, Ruth laughed out loud, and continued, "But I like listening to your boasting because you look so cute when you do it!"

"You still haven’t told me about the powers of the major shareholder," Yusuf pressed on.

"Alright, alright, there’s nothing much to do now, but at eight thirty, you must go downstairs to the drivers’ area, and then wait for my call."

"Yes, at Ms. Wilcox’s command!" Yusuf saluted playfully.

Watching Yusuf’s comical behavior, Ruth approached him, straightened his collar, and then tenderly touched Yusuf’s face, "Yusuf, I’m so happy now. Coming back to Beijing, seeing you, it’s like the clouds have parted and I see the warm sun. You have no idea, I really feel like shouting at the top of my lungs, singing, dancing, telling everyone how happy I am."

"I want to kiss you," Yusuf whispered, leaning down close to her ear.

"Don’t..." As Ruth blushed and tried to step back, Yusuf suddenly grabbed her hand and his other hand gently encircled her shoulders. Ignoring her opposition and attempts to dodge, he kissed her forcefully.

"Yusuf..." In an instant, Ruth’s body softened, and she embraced Yusuf in return.
