Please Let Me Go

Chapter 37 Don’t Mess up with a Jealous Man

Though Jerry just returned for a few days and had just come to this company for a few times, popular

men would not become unpopular in just a new environment. Especially with his handsome face that

could charm young girls to death, he made it hard to not like him.

Whenever the young girl at the front desk saw him now, she would always lower her head and blushed

shamefully, whispering to him which floor Antonio was on.

He gave her an untamed and evil grin,

"Okay, got it!"

Learning from her that Antonio was still bored in his office, he gave an air kiss to the girl.

This made the girl blushed even more. Somehow this rough behavior looked so graceful from him.

That kiss could be anything but obnoxious.

Koby saw him too, so he nodded to him, smiling, then went back to his own businesses.

Once Jerry pushed open the door, he saw the man sitting over there with a dreadful face, as if nothing

was pleasing in his eyes. He shrugged, walked up to Antonio’s desk in big strides, and took a slight

leap to sit on the desk.

"Hey Antonio, it's just a stock drop, how can someone smart as you get troubled by it?

What is this bitter face for?" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

What the Barons was experiencing recently had gone viral in the business field. Not only his father

talked about it, but all those other nameless ones gossiped about it too as an after-tea story. It was

hard to not know about it!

"That problem was solved!"

Antonio faintly answered him. Just as how he always treasured words, he did not say any unnecessary

lines.

Jerry raised his eyebrows, "How come you look like this if you solved it then?"

While at the same time, Antonio was doused in his own thoughts. He remembered that there was a

very popular video of an elementary school in a parent-teacher conference. She wrote down some

math problems on the blackboard, then answered on her own without saying a word.

One plus one equals two; two plus two equals four; three plus three equals six; and four plus four

equals four!

Once the chalk fell, some parents said,

"Teacher, the fourth answer is wrong!"

The teacher smiled and nodded in agreement without turning around to check the answer,

"You are all correcting my mistake, but why is there nobody praising me for getting the first three right?"

This is what Adelaide saw online before. She absolutely agreed with the teacher, and even asked

Antonio to watch it with her again, and talked about how they had to praise their children in the future

too as what the teacher said.

He vividly remembered sneering at the video at the time, because he thought it was normal for a

teacher to be right in the classroom, and also normal for parents to point out the mistakes when the

teacher was wrong.

However, now he was deeply aware of that teacher's feelings.

Yes, the Barons’ stock did go down, but he amazingly put it back on track in just one day.

Even so, no one would remember that the teacher got three questions right, and no one would

remember that Antonio got the stock back up in one day on his own. People would just remember one

thing: he was wrong!

"Hey!

Antonio!"

Seeing him wandering off when he was talking to him, Jerry tapped him on the shoulder in annoyance.

Antonio pulled back his thoughts and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Ahhh… It is the old man again. I told him that I did not want to come back. He begged me to come

back and promised to give me freedom. He told me that I could play however I liked… now look at that,

it has not even been two days yet, and I was told to take over the Quins."

He said with a long face, believing that only Antonio could help him with this.

To be honest, he should have already taken over the company at this age. However, he had no interest

in the CEO’s position and even avoided this job that many others pursued after. Antonio though, had no

intention to help him at all no matter how touching Jerry was framing his words. Thinking of that he had

not checked other departments in a long time, Antonio stood up and walked out.

Since Jerry had locked his target already, he followed him everywhere like a piece of sticky candy. No

matter how Antonio tried to chase him away, he would just stare at him with a puppy face.

Speechless at Jerry’s shameless behavior, Antonio decided to maintain his cool figure as a boss. Jerry

being shameless could not make him lose face too.

After patrolling no more than a few floors, Antonio returned to the office with his sticky candy.

He was really persistent!

"It's good to take over!" said Antonio with a long face.

Jerry squinted at him,

"You know my ability! Picking up girls? Yeah, I'm good at it. Being a president?

I can't!"

Antonio knew in his heart that his friend was a free spirit and had no intention of being any kind of

successor, but how could he change the old man's decision easily?

He sighed and tried to comfort him,

"How do you know if it would work if you did not even try?"

Jerry shook his head and hugged his good buddy,

"Antonio please, find a solution for me!"

Having witnessed his people-haunting skills, Antonio agreed finally and promised to think it over at

home tonight. He did not want to have a headache over this man at this point.

With the main purpose accomplished, Jerry left with an excuse soon after watching Antonio working

seriously for a while. It was so boring for him.

The office finally returned to its usual quietness. Except for reprotings from the finance and HR

managers from time to time, there was no other sounds at all in the office.

With endless works to deal with, Antonio pushed his limit once he came to the office. After taking care

of all the afternoon's work in one push, he lied on the chair, wondering if he should got to Adelaide or to

Clarissa tonight.

"Mr. Antonio!"

Doused in his thoughts, Antonio did not notice when Koby came in the office.

"What's wrong?"

"Alvin already bought several shareholders' shares!"

At the news, Antonio slapped the desk furiously,

"What?"

Alvin was the illegitimate son of his grandfather. Though his grandmother was unhappy with that, his

grandfather still gave him fifteen percent of the Barons shares. As a grandson, Antonio only had

twenty-five percent of the shares.

If Alvin really took care of all those minority shareholders, the Barons might really have a new CEO

soon

It seemed like that he underestimated his uncle.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Antonio, I failed to do what you told me!" Koby answered with trepidation.

Although Antonio treated employees very well, he was also very strict, never going easy on their

mistakes.

Antonio squinted his eyes, releasing a vibe like a predator,

"Let's visit those minority shareholders!"

Koby followed him and wiped sweats on the forehead. It was lucky that Antonio was rarely in a good

mood and did not scold him.

After meeting one of the minority shareholders who had already transferred his shares, they took him to

dinner and even got him some beautiful girls and some imported wines in the KTV.

Under the alcohol’s power, the bald minority shareholder finally spilled his guts.

It turned out that Alvin found out his secrets that Koby knew too and gave him a large sum of money in

addition to threatening him with the evidence they got, while also ensuring him that this information

would not be leaked out.
