The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3

The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.

He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand's parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.-

He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.

The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.

As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiance, Gerald White.

Charlie didn't know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.

However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.

Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, "Hey, Charlie!”

Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his back.

Out of courtesy, he could only stop where he was and wait for them to approach him. He smiled and asked,"

Wendy, hey, why are you here?"

Wendy chuckled. "Oh, Gerald is here to see Doris Young, vice-chairman of Emgrand Group! I'm here to keep him company.”

Then she turned to look at Gerald with affection and said, "The White family has a lot of projects with Emgrand Group. Not only would it help the White family but also our Wilson family in the future." 2

Charlie didn't know that the White family was one of Emgrand Group’s business partners. After all, he had just taken over the company and he hadn't had time t 0 get through the details.

He didn't show anything unusual on his face. Instead, he simply said with a polite smile, "Mr. White is very talented and magnificent, both of you make a great couple!"

Gerald glared at Charlie contemptuously, feeling a surge of anger within him.

This loser had been scolded so badly by Lady Wilson yesterday in front of everybody, how was he able to smile like a clown as if nothing had happened today?

Why did Claire, such a stunning and wonderful lady, marry such a loser?

If this loser never existed, he would certainly have pursued Claire with great effort! Who would want to b e engaged to Wendy, the girl who paled in comparison in every aspect?

Gerald huffed a breath in dismay and asked in a pretentious tone, "Why are you here?"

Charlie casually said, "I'm here to apply for a job."

"Apply for a job?" Gerald sneered disdainfully. "You? The loser who can't do anything wants to apply for a job at Emgrand? Are you kidding me?"

Charlie frowned. "What has it to do with you?"

The reason why Wendy called Charlie in the first place was to humiliate him. Now that Gerald had started, she immediately mocked, "Why? Gerald is right, isn't he?"
