“Wait, we can’t leave yet,” Joshua said calmly, staring coldly at the store manager.
“How dare she look down on my woman? I’ll make sure she gets the punishment she deserves.”
Something seemed off about Joshua’s tone. This meant he was up to something…
“Hey, don’t cause trouble!” Christy warned in a trembling voice.
“Don’t worry. Just stand here and watch how I help you get back at them.” Joshua said with authority, turning his gaze back. to the store manager.
The store manager was startled by Joshua’s intense stare.
“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t think you’re so great just because you can buy a few clothes. The owner is my relative. If you dare to touch me, the owner won’t let you off!” The store manager threatened in a panic.
“Your relative won’t be the owner here for long!” Joshua scoffed, ignoring the woman, and pulled out his phone, dialing a
number.
“Hello, Mr. Melendez, Lorene answered the call.
“Lorene, I want to acquire a clothing brand immediately, Joshua stated the name of the store
“Mr. Melendez, this brand’s positioning is too low and doesn’t meet our acquisition criteria, Lorene calmly replied.
“I don’t care! I want to acquire it! If you don’t solve this issue within three minutes, you don’t need to come to work tomorrow,” Joshua shouted.
On the other end of the phone, Lorene’s ears nearly went deaf from Joshua’s loud voice!
Why was Joshua so furious?
Of course, the store manager didn’t believe that Joshua was going to acquire the store.
“What are you pretending for? Do you know that we have more than a dozen branches globally, with a total market value of over 100 million dollars?” The store manager snapped with her arms crossed.
“Young people nowadays will say anything to impress girls! You should know your limits!”
The cashier was desperately trying to signal the store manager.
Due to being the owner’s relative, the store manager easily got the position. But in reality, she wasn’t very competent or knowledgeable.
The cashier was more perceptive, knowing that someone with a Diamond Black Card was not an ordinary person to be trifled with.
She was trying to remind the store manager, but the manager didn’t understand, causing the cashier to worry.
In less than three minutes, Lorene made another call, telling Joshua the acquisition was complete.
Joshua sneered at the store manager. “Now I’m the boss here, and since today is Sunday, I’ll officially fire you.
“What?” The store manager thought Joshua was joking, but within seconds, the owner called her and asked her to put the call on speaker.
In front of everyone, the owner announced that the company had been acquired by the Stellar Group. All employees‘ future would be determined by Joshua Melendez of the Stellar Group.
Stellar Group?
It was a business empire with the power to crush huge and small companies. Joshua was a prominent figure in the business
world.
His assets were a mystery, but in the country, he was known as the hidden richest man.
The store manager had heard his name, even if she didn’t know how he looked like.
“You’re Joshua Melendez?” The store manager’s face turned ashen.
Joshua coldly laughed and ignored her.
“Lorene, check the performance of this branch for me,” Joshua called his secretary again.
“Mr. Melendez, this branch has the worst performance among all branches,” Lorene reported honestly.
Joshua hung up the phone.
“No wonder this store has the worst performance, with a manager like you driving customers away! Our company need employees like you,” Joshua said angrily.

Chapter 114 “Get out!”
“What’s so great about you? Fine, I won’t work here! You think I can’t find a second job? The manager huffed.
“If you don’t realize where you went wrong, you’ll only harm the company’s interests no matter where you go. I feel sorry for the company that hired you,” Joshua said disdainfully.
The manager ran off with a downcast expression.
The young girl stood there, still in a daze.
“Young lady, what’s your name?” Joshua asked.
“My name is Lisa Wallace.” The girl answered honestly.
“Lisa, from today on, you are the manager of this store,” Joshua said with a smile.
*Mr. Melendez, but I’m just an intern. I have no experience. I’m afraid I won’t do well and it will affect the company,” Lisa said timidly.
Joshua chuckled. “Lisa, don’t underestimate yourself. You have a valuable virtue that the previous manager lacked. You treat people with respect and sincerity, regardless of their social status. You put customers first. Stellar Group needs employees like you. Have confidence in yourself. Work hard, and I believe in you.”
“Mr. Melendez, thank you for this opportunity. I will give it my all!” Lisa was very excited.
Christy was once again stunned by Joshua’s actions.
She hadn’t expected him to be so fair.
To be honest, if it weren’t for something he had done to her six years ago, Christy would consider Joshua a good boss.
As they left the store, Christy hurried back to the museum.
“What’s the rush?” Joshua asked as he grabbed her arm.
“How can I not be in a hurry? I’ve already wasted so much time. If I continue like this, the exhibition will be over,” Christy said anxiously.
“Don’t you think you’re missing something?” Joshua stared at Christy with a mischievous grin. “Wearing an expensive dress with cheap shoes. How could you think of that?”
Christy immediately looked down and felt embarrassed. Her original black professional attire matched her black leather shoes, but they didn’t go well with this skirt, making her look out of place.
“Come with me.” Joshua took Christy’s hand.
His touch felt so natural, as if it were the most reasonable thing to do.
His hand was warm and strong, exuding masculine strength.
For a moment, Christy forgot to pull her hand away from Joshua’s.
She couldn’t imagine that the arrogant and domineering Joshua would set everything aside to accompany her shopping
What they were doing was no different from what young couples in love would do..
It felt like they were dating.
Last night, she saw his gentle and loving side as a father.
Today, his dominance, his care, and his pampering were equally impressive, enough to make any woman fall for him.
Slowly, the image of him from six years ago on the Starry Dreams Cruise, like a wild beast, faded from Christy’s mind.
She allowed Joshua to lead her around.
First, Joshua bought Christy a pair of high heels, then he took her to a jewelry store to get a pearl necklace, and finally bought her an expensive purse.
With the strikingly handsome Joshua by her side, no one dared to look down on her again.
He even had someone do her hair and makeup.
