Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 6

Darryl glanced at Pearl. If he was not mistaken, she should be the secretary his uncle mentioned about.

"Sorry President, I didn't mean to be late. There was a traffic jam..." Pearl explained softly, afraid to look Darryl in the eye, and merely bowed.

"Pearl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Penelope stepped forward. Her beautiful appearance was slightly tinged with anger. "This is our company’s new security guard, why are you addressing him as president?”

"Security guard?” Pearl searched inside her handbag and took out a photo. She compared the photo with Darryl, and hurriedly replied Penelope. "Miss Peach, there is no mistake. This is our company's new president, Mister Darby."

"What!?” The crowd stood there with their mouths agape, and stared at Darryl in disbelief!

"Uh Miss, you... you have to be mistaken?" Giselle bit her lip tightly and looked at Pearl. "This guy is Darryl, he was my classmate in high school. Look at how uncouth he is, how could he be the president?"

How was this possible! Why would a president be wearing bargained goods and riding an electric bike? Moreover, during the very recent high school reunion, none of them cared to acknowledge Darryl!

"Mistaken?" Pearl took out her cellphone and showed i t to Giselle. "Look closely, the patriarch of the Darby clan personally told me that the name of the new president is Darryl Darby! There is also a photo of the president shared in the conversation records, see for yourself!"

Woosh!

Giselle’s mind went blank in an instant! She could feel her legs weaken, she dared not look Darryl in the eye anymore.

Meanwhile, Penelope bit her lip tightly as well. As the deputy manager of Platinum Corporation, she was of a higher rank than many of the common employees. However, Platinum Corporation still belonged to the Darby clan. She could not believe that just moments ago she had threatened to fire the president...

"Mister Darryl..." Penelope's face was pallor, she walked up to Darryl and whispered to him gently.

"I don't think that's the right address," chuckled Darryl. "Giselle was my classmate, and you’re her aunt.

I don't think it's fitting for you to call me mister.”

"Mister Darryl, I was wrong... I was wrong, I truly know that I did wrong..." said Penelope softly with her head lowered.

Darryl waved his hand and interrupted her words, he turned around and looked in the direction of the head of security. At that moment, the head of security was dumbfounded, his body staggered back, almost falling onto the ground.

"You’re fired," Darryl merely said those words to him and entered the building.

A group of people followed Darryl with might, which prompted discussion among the employees at the ground floor level. Giselle and Penelope followed suit a s well, but with a sense of humility. Although it was hard for them to walk on heels, they still trotted as fast as they could to follow close.

It has to be said, Platinum Corporation was extremely grand. Its interior was decorated to resemble a palace. News regarding the new president’s arrival spread across the entire company, employees along the way bowed and greeted Darryl. 3

The president's office was on the 11th floor. Darryl sat i n his chair when he arrived at his office. 1

'How fancy,' thought Darryl in admiration. Ever since h e was banished from his clan three years ago, he never had the opportunity to visit such fancy places.

"President..."

Giselle and Penelope followed him into his office and stood obediently in front of his desk.

To be fair, although Penelope was Giselle's aunt, she had gone to great lengths to take good care of her appearance. They looked like sisters standing side by side.

"Mister Darryl... I sincerely apologize..." Penelope bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, before she continued." Mister Darryl, will Giselle still be able to sign her contract with our company? As long as you allow her the contract, I'll do anything you ask."

"Anything I ask?" Darryl laughed out loud. As he was about to speak, Pearl knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mister Darby, it’s William of the Lyndon clan, he's here to talk business." 1

William Lyndon? The mere mention of him made Darryl's blood boil. 1

Darry chuckled, "Tell him to piss off." 2

"Yes, sir."
