My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 14

Gabriel was taking over Horacio’s territories after his death and had an appointment with several bigshots at the Nightyan Bar tonight. He came over to have a look when he was informed that there was a fight in the bar. He was just fretting about not having a chance to establish his intimidation and authority, yet one came knocking on his door. That threw him over the moon! Blood left Sadie’s face. ‘Gabriel? Why him!? He’s Horacio’s godson!’ Without question, Gabriel would be replacing Horacio after the latter died. She was not expecting to pull this man into the picture either. Sh*t was going down!” “Which damned—” Gabriel looked toward where Kayson was, and his expression froze. The rejoice he felt left him in the blink of an eye. ‘K-Kayson!?’ It was as if a bucket of ice was dumped over Gabriel’s head as he paled visibly. He was just going to call out “Mr. Yarde” and went over to bow before he remembered that Kayson had said they did not know each other after he killed Horacio. “Gabriel! Gabe! Be the judge of this! He is disrespecting you! You’ve got to teach him a lesson!” Gabriel felt tingles on his head. He would love to slap Pete to his death right now. That sc*m, did he want him to be Horacio’s company? While Gabriel was caught in a dilemma, he spotted Sadie standing next to Kayson and suddenly had an idea. He marched forward and kicked Pete. “Who the f*ck asked you to offend Ms. Wolfenden? Don’t you know that she’s a famous entrepreneur in our city? “A sc*m like you isn’t worthy of coveting her!” “Ah! I’m wrong, Gabe! I’m wrong!” “Annoying! Guys! Drag him out and give him a good beating!” barked Gabriel. Sadie and Easton were baffled. The latter, especially, wondered since when was Sadie so influential that the infamous Gabriel was so respectful of her. Gabriel bowed courteously. “Ms. Wolfenden, my underlings don’t know better. Don’t mind them.” Sadie was a little stupefied. “I-It’s okay… You’re too polite, Mr. Bayfield…” Gabriel did not dare look at Kayson and braced himself to keep saying, “Ms. Wolfenden, let me buy your drinks tonight. Feel free to visit any of the places under my care, for free!” “Huh?” Sadie was lost. What was going on? “Well, Ms. Wolfenden, I still have things to take care of. I’ll leave you to enjoy the night!” Gabriel did not want to stay a moment longer as he snapped at the crowd and dissipated them before hurrying upstairs. “Ms. Sade, you’re amazing!” exclaimed Easton. “R-Really…” Sadie was still dazed. At that moment, Kayson spoke up.

“Gabriel is scared of me. You guys don’t have to worry about him in the future.” That jolted Sadie as she snapped her head to glare at him. “Stop bullsh*tting, will you? If Gabriel hears you, we’ll be in trouble if he goes back on his word!” “I’m telling the truth!” retorted Kayson. Sadie chuckled coldly. “Would Gabriel know who a bumpkin like you is? Stop flattering yourself!” Kayson gave up on arguing. She could believe whatever she wanted. Easton kept quiet as he contemplated on the side. Sadie lost her mood to drink and dismissed Easton before going home with Kayson. Once she arrived at the mansion, Liam summoned her to his study. Liam started grimly. “I’ve heard that Dickinson International has internally decided to be given to the Gillete Group…” “W-What do we do then? Won’t our efforts be wasted?” Sadie exclaimed in alarm. Liam shook his head. “We still have a shot. I heard that Asoss’ Mr. Tinsley Sr. is having a birthday party in Clouspring the day after tomorrow. Your grandfather’s contacted Mr. Johnson Zigler and asked for a favor to get us the invitation.” Sadie wondered in worry, “Will Mr. Zigler really help us?” “He promised verbally. I think he will,” said Liam. The father and daughter were disheartened. Sadie was even more so when she returned to her room and saw Kayson on the floor. The next day when Kayson went to the office, Easton was even more respectful to him. After work, he went back to the mansion in Sadie and Liam’s car. The father and daughter seemed to have run into some good news as they were in a good mood. They got Hugh to the study once they arrived home. Liam announced, “Dad, we’ve gotten the invitations to Mr. Tinsley Sr.’s birthday party!” Hugh was delighted as well. “Really? It seems that Johnson still acknowledges the favor from back then.” “We get to attend Mr. Tinsley Sr.’s birthday party tomorrow and have the chance to talk to him!” Sadie cheered happily. “That’s right. But it’s too bad there are only four invitations!” Hugh sighed. He wanted to take Kayson along otherwise. Sadie frowned. “Grandpa, why do you keep thinking of him? It’d be embarrassing to take him to an important event like this!” “Embarrassing? Kayson’s pretty decent!” Sadie was not in the mood to argue, so she headed straight to her room.
