The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 It's Better Not to Do This Job

In just a few minutes, Derek's eyes were watering and he was coughing up tea after seeing Harleen's photo on the screen.

"Mr Hines, are you okay?" Harper Rodriguez looked at Derek with some surprise.

Although Harleen was indeed very beautiful, there was no need for such a big reaction.

Harper secretly despised Derek.

'As someone so high up in the company, does he really need to have such an immature response to seeing a pretty woman?' Harper thought to herself.

"She... she works here?" Derek finally managed to compose himself and asked.

"Yes, Ms Knight just started three days ago," Harper Rodriguez paused before asking, "Mr Hines, do you know her?"

Derek felt a chill run down his spine. Before this moment, he had asked Billy if they should arrange for Harleen to work at a subsidiary company of World Group in Ozin. However, Billy had told him that Harleen didn't want any special treatment and wanted to find work based on her own abilities, so he hadn't given it much thought.

But now here she was, introduced by SunPark Group.

'What are the odds?' Derek exclaimed inwardly.

"How has she been at the company these past few days? Has she not been mistreated?" Derek asked loudly.

'Thank goodness, I came to this meeting today. Otherwise, if Harleen has suffered any unfair treatment here, Mr Gardner would tear me apart!' Derek thought to himself.

"No... not really..." Harper Rodriguez hesitated again. "Who is she, Mr Hines?"

Based on Derek's tone, she realized that Harleen must hold a special status.

"Never mind who she is for now!" Derek responded sharply. "Just remember a few things!"

"Yes, Mr Hines!" Harper Rodriguez nodded vigorously.

While Derek was giving instructions to Harper, Harleen received a text message from Ava Jones reading, "Ms Knight, he's at it again..."

"What an asshole!" Harleen muttered angrily before quickly walking towards the door.

Bang!

Upon arriving at a large office room, Harleen forcefully pushed open the door and saw Ava Jones sitting in one corner of the sofa in panic, while a man around fifty years old sat next to her with hi hands about to grab her hand.

"How dare you!" Gerald Patton furrowed his brows upon hearing the commotion outside and turned his head towards them. "Who are you? Get out!"

As he spoke, he looked over at her.

When he saw Harleen, his eyes lit up with amazement. He had played with so many women, but none could compare to the beauty in front of him.

"Ms Knight!" Ava Jones hurried over.

"Are you the new marketing department manager?" Gerald Patton asked as his eyes kept scanning Harleen.
