?Chapter 916:


    “Mr. Dawson, I’m not asking for the same kindness you show Ms. Curtis, but please, treat me like a human being!”


    Raymond felt like he was in a dilemma.


    How could he be expected to handle so many things? He was already burdened with resolving the chaos in Onnd, and now he had the added responsibility of overseeing the VQ Group!


    Every time a problem arose, Bryan would task him with resolving it. He barely had any time to catch his breath.


    “I’m thirty-two now, but I’m still not married. My schedule has been too full; I don’t have any time for my personal matters,” Raymond said. Bryan slung his suit jacket over his arm, leaned against the desk, and pped Raymond on the shoulder.


    “Consider this: Thepanies I tasked you to run have hundreds of thousands of employees, half of whom are women. Yet, you’re still single. Maybe it’s time to lower your standards for a partner,” Bryan said.


    “I don’t have time to look for a partner!” Raymond retorted quickly. He was so swamped with work that he didn’t even have time to notice whether the person who sent him a document was male or female.


    “When I was in the Apex Group, wasn’t I busier than you?” Bryan asked with a straight face. “Despite that, I was still able to win Eileen’s heart, wasn’t I?”


    Raymond’s lips twitched. As far as he was concerned, the situation was the other way around. It was actually Eileen who had captured Bryan’s heart.


    “You’re a sought-after man, but your demanding work leaves you with limited time for rtionships. You should learn to utilize your time wisely. And don’t forget, ourpany doesn’t prohibit workce romances. Isn’t that a chance for you to find love?” Bryan said as he adjusted his cufflinks and fastened them securely.

    Raymond replied, “Mr. Dawson, I’m afraid I’m not up for the task. Once you’re preupied, you won’t be able to reach me by phone all the time, and sometimes, you go crazy and call me at midnight, demanding assistance with matters rted to the Vazquez family. I just can’t…”


    When Raymond uttered the phrase “go crazy,” he felt a sudden twinge of unease. Only after he finished speaking did he realize his mistake, and his heart skipped a beat in anxiety.


    But Bryan seemed unfazed by Raymond’s slip-up. He said, “Eileen once told me that I shouldn’t hold others ountable for their mistakes when I’ve benefited from them. You help me run thepany, and in return, I give you leeway to make the asional verbal mistake.”


    Raymond was unable to stop himself from leaving and could only watch as Bryan departed. He silently wished that Bryan’s car would experience a breakdown midway.


    As luck would have it, Bryan’s car did indeed suffer a breakdown when he was an hour’s drive away from the Vazquez Mansion.


    Bryan tried calling Eileen multiple times, but his calls went unanswered. He knew that she had silenced her phone.


    Due to the surroundings, devoid of any shops or passing cars, Bryan had no choice but to call Raymond and ask for assistance.


    It took the team two hours to track down Bryan’s exact location. Meanwhile, Bryan perched on the roof of his car, smoking, as the night began to fall.
