Chapter 241 - 241: Emergency! (1/2)

Ethan's day had not been the best. First, he woke up in the morning by a loud ringtone—forcing him to untangle himself from cuddling his wife. Second, the weather hasn't been too gracious on him today. It's still in the middle of spring, why is the sun unbearable today?

Lastly, and probably the most irritating, Ethan arrived in his office and was greeted by a humid room.

The air-conditioning system was broken. It took the maintenance five hours before they fix it. Five, grueling, long hours inside a sauna like room.

He felt suffocated with his suit, sweat already soaking it, so he end up removing the layers, leaving only his white shirt—which became a bit translucent, showing his perfectly built pecks.

Fortunately, he was not needed anywhere but his office.

Those lucky yet unlucky employees who entered to hand over their projects, felt as if they were literally in the devil's lair with their devilishly hot boss wearing his almost see-through shirt.

The female employees fan themselves, suppressing the urge to faint at the sight.

True to his title as the Devil, Ethan's temperament heeds no bound in being ruthless. Maybe the heat was to blame for his unusual hot-temper.

”Trash! Everything is trash! I want you all to repeat everything and finish it by five!”

”Late by a second, deduction of salary!”

”Late by a minute, say goodbye to your position!”

”Late by an hour, get out! You're fired!”

The employees ran out of his office, crying.

CEO Li is too unreasonable today! How could he abuse his power like this?!

Did he fought with his wife? If so, please spew your anger at a different target, alright?! This displacement is not good for our hearts, alright?!

”Sir, you are scheduled for a board meeting by 3:50.”

”What?”

Secretary Yu flinched when Ethan's menacing glare darted at her frame.

”B-board...board meeting....s-sir.”

After a few moments of silence, Ethan pushed his chair away from his desk and stood up.

Secretary Yu watch him enter the bedroom in his office. When he came out, he was wearing a new shirt.

Grabbing his blazer, he strode out with Secretary Yu tailing behind.

Sweat immediately excreted on his forehead as soon as he exited his office. The temperature outside was actually hotter.

Ethan then thought of his employees. They probably had it much worst compare to him.

The heat was probably affecting their performance. Ethan felt a bit guilty—but not too much.

”Ah, the air-conditioner is fixed.” Secretary Yu noted the cool air flowing out of the vents.
