1 Are You Woman?

Glory Group is a giant company that controls various industries, it's no wonder that many university graduates want to pursue a career at Glory Group. The top company is led by a young CEO named Vern Vandyke Vlodostok who is very handsome and popular with women.

However, Vern doesn't seem to be close to any woman or is he a same-sex lover? No, many women have concluded that Vern is a hardworking CEO. Like right now, he was busy going through a pile of files on his desk. Vern held his head while grumbling, "Huh, why do I have so many files to check? When can I take a vacation?"

"No, I shouldn't grumble and it's better to get it done quickly," Vern muttered, shaking his head to get rid of the boredom of going through the routine every day. He tried to encourage himself by taking a deep breath, sitting up straight and concentrating again.

A few minutes passed, Vern was completely absorbed in the pile of files. The file didn't budge when there was a very rough knock on the door. The man behind the door loses his temper, he opens it without permission while shouting him.

"Vern! Get out!"

The distinctive loud voice mixed with emotion was arrogant. Vern stood firmly behind the desk with a worried look. He regretted being late realizing the owner of the voice.

Vern grumbled, "Gosh, I'm definitely going to get into trouble. Why didn't I care who the guest was?"

"Vern, you're making me angry on purpose, aren't you?" exclaimed Jack. Jack came in with 3 people dressed all in black standing behind him. He was ready to vent anger at his nephew.

"Sorry Uncle, I was just focusing on checking the file." Vern replied with a trembling voice until he swallowed his saliva in fear. He hoped, he wouldn't get punished for his trivial problem.

"Shut up! Don't make excuses!" Jack did not show his friendly attitude because he had a grudge against Vern. He wasn't willing to let Vern chosen to be the successor of the company instead of his own son.

Jack turned to the side, ordering one of the bodyguards who came with him, "Zay! Drag him out of this room!"

"Yes, sir," Zay replied swiftly, he walked quickly to Vern, locking both of his hands. He locking both of Vern's hands behind his back without giving him any leeway to move. Then Zay dragged him out according to Jack's orders.

Vern was very confused, he rebelled from Zay's grip in vain. He looked at Jack for an explanation, but Jack just gave him a big smile as if he was mocking him.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Is it just because I didn't open the door, that I'm getting this treatment?" Vern protested not understanding. He didn't take his eyes off Jack.

"Let him go!" commanded Jack who was very much understood by Zay, his men looked down and took a step back when Jack came near Vern.

Vern looked at Jack with interest, eager to hear his uncle's explanation. He didn't want to suspect or have any prejudice against Jack.

"Tell me Uncle! Why did you act so rudely?" demanded Vern angrily with red eyes.

"It's time for you to step down, Vern. You know your position now it belongs to Roderick, my son. Whether you want it or not you have to give it up willingly, otherwise I will force you!" Jack explained, ending with a threat.

Vern's eyes bulged perfectly, he walked over to Jack, "What do you mean Uncle? I'm the legal successor of Glory group, everyone in this country also knows that. Now why did you suddenly come to ask me to step down? Uncle don't joke around, it can't make me laugh even though I really need some entertainment."

"Shit! You talk a lot!" exclaimed Jack who glanced at Zay, he didn't want to answer Vern's question and continued to give order his men, "Zay! What are you waiting for, drag him!"

Zay deftly bent Vern's hand back with very easily. Vern's body was actually well proportioned, but he hadn't mastered a single martial art so he was unable to match the power to fight Zay who mastered 3 types of martial arts at once.

"Let go of me, you bastard!" cursed Vern angrily. He struggled uselessly, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to escape Zay's grip.

"Haha Vern ... Vern, you're a hardworking young man who's stupid enough to recognize the situation. Thank you for raising the Glory group till now. Now, let Roderick take charge of everything, give your cousin a chance to succeed."

Jack was actually very happy to see his nephew humiliated, he didn't stop laughing despite the many pairs of worker's eyes watching their supreme leader being dragged off the throne.

It was true what Vern said, he was the rightful heir to the main line of the Vlodostok family. His father died mysteriously when he was 5 years old. His father's role was replaced by his grandfather, who also passed away just two weeks ago. Jack is second child after his father and he still has a younger sister.

"Uncle! I didn't think your kindness was a mask all this time. I won't accept it, I will definitely get my rights back! Remember that!" he shouted. Vern shouted threateningly. All of his senses shook violently from the outburst of emotion at Jack's statement.

Vern's dignity and honor instantly fell before his employees. He was like a mentally disturbed person who screamed that he didn't want to be taken back to the hospital. Zay didn't care about the views of the surrounding people, he continues to drag Vern towards the elevator out according to Jack's orders.

"What's your name, asshole? You dare to make trouble with Vern Vlodostok! Let me go, now! I will repay you 100 times more cruel than this!" snapped Vern who tried to challenge Zay, because he was unable to compete with Zay's strength, he could only shout while swearing.

Zay did not take the bait, he kept a firm grip on Vern's hand until they reached the bottom floor. They were both greeted by a car, Zay forced Vern to bend down to make it easier for the two of them to get into the car.

As soon as Vern stepped in, Zay's grip loosened and it was used for Vern to escape by opening the car door beside him. Zay's surprise turned to anger, he cursed, "Damn bitch! Hey, catch him quickly!"

Zay ordered the driver of the car, who also got out to chase Vern away. Zay stopped to first observe where Vern was going. He ran to cut the closest road.

For Zay's physical endurance, there's no doubt that he's the most superior bodyguard among other bodyguards. No wonder Zay became Jack's right hand in matters of fisticuffs, even becoming a leader for other bodyguards. He quickly surrounded, blocking Vern's movement. Vern was cornered in a hallway that connected to the emergency staircase with the company building.

"Where are you going, you lousy former CEO?" Zay grinned while clenched his fists. He walked step by step towards Vern who was running out of stamina.

"Please just give up, Sir," said the driver of the car that had just arriving behind him. He immediately ran to block Vern's back path to narrow the Glory group leader's space.

Vern caught his breath until he coughed, he crouched down while thinking about how to escape from Jack's bodyguards. He cursed in his heart.

Damn it! I can't be caught by bastards like them! It would only make that damn Jack laugh.

"You're such a lousy leader, don't expect to escape from me! Look, what's the point of having a body like that if you can't run faster than a turtle!"

"Give up!" Zay continued to push forward, creating less than a step away from Vern. His sharp eyes did not let Vern off the hook for a second time. Zay raised both hands to his prey's collar.

Vern, who was already stuck, had no choice but to face Zay. He reflexively pushed away Zay's chest that was already clutching his collar. Suddenly his expression turned astonished, his face flat as he said, "Your chest is as supple like pudding, there's no way you're a woman, right?"
