A Man Like None Other

Just then, Hilda went over to Kai, leaning pretty close to him. Noticing that they seemed very familiar with each other, Xavier queried with furrowed brows, “Who's that lady, Mr. Carlson?”

Zayne promptly cast his gaze over. When he realized that the man was referring to Hilda, he hurriedly replied, “That's Kai's girlfriend, Mr. Jennings. Her name is Hilda Wallace, and she has just started working here today.”

“Kai's girlfriend?” Surprise inundated Xavier.

Shocked at the man's reaction, Zayne nodded slowly. “Yes, she's his girlfriend.”

In the next instant, a sneer manifested on Xavier's face. “Find an opportunity and snap some intimate photos of them. Remember to do it secretly and send them to me.”

"Got it!” Zayne nodded.

Xavier then left in high spirits while Zayne wore a mystified look. I didn’t know when he had such a kink.

“Kai, the person who presently owes our team the most money is Dexter Murphy. He owes nearly a million and hasn't made any repayment after two years. Several sales representatives went to collect the debt, but none succeeded. I heard that some were even beaten up!” Troy reported, pointing at a whole page of arrears on his computer as he sat at his desk.

Kai glanced at the time before he nodded and announced, “We'll start with him, then. If we go now, we'll be back in time for lunch!”

“Just the two of us?” Troy exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course! Are you thinking of going in a group?” Kai was startled.

Terrified, Troy explained with a conflicted expression, “Kai... Kai, it's rumored that the man used to be a gangster. He has now washed his hands of the underworld and started a company, but he still has quite a number of lackeys. We'll definitely suffer a beating if we go alone. Many of the sales representatives ended up with bruises, and I even heard that a female sales representative who went over ended up pregnant.”

"So, you're afraid?” Kai asked with solemnity etched on his face, his eyes boring into the man.

"I..." Troy did not quite know how to answer that. He was indeed afraid, for anyone would fear such a client.

“This is precisely the nature of your job. If you're afraid, then just quit. Sometimes, you never know whether you'll succeed if you don't try.”

Having said that, Kai printed Dexter's information out and strode out with it in his hand.

“Kai!”

Hilda chased after Kai when she saw him leaving.

She knew that Zayne gave him a task, so he was undoubtedly going out to collect a debt then. For that reason, she planned to go with him.

Cognizant of his impulsive nature, she was worried that he would end up fighting with the other party.

"Are you going out to collect a debt?" Hilda inquired after catching up to Kai.

“Yeah.” He nodded in affirmation.

“Let me have a look at it!” She then took the information from him

The two of them stood very close, so it appeared as though they were hugging, looking exceedingly intimate.

When Zayne glimpsed the scene from his office, he quickly whipped out his phone and furtively snapped a few photos before sending them to Xavier.

“Kai, I'm afraid this has become a bad debt. The person didn't make payment even though two years had passed. Moreover, many sales representatives had gone over to collect the debt but to no avail.”

Hilda's brows knitted together as she scanned through the information.

“This is the biggest debt, so I've got to try no matter how difficult,” Kai replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go with you then,” she said, nodding.

“I'll be fine going by myself. You don’t need to go with me,” he hastily countered, waving his hands. "You're too rash, so it'll be better if I go with you. Besides, women have an added advantage when it comes to collecting a debt.”

While saying that, Hilda grabbed his arm and strode out.

Seeing that, Zayne immediately snapped a few more photos and sent them to Xavier once more.

No sooner had Kai and Hilda stepped out of the building than Troy ran out as well. Catching up to Kai, he asserted, “We're a team, so I can't just watch as you take the risk alone, Kai. It's just a beating at worse, so I'll go with you.”
