GoodReadChapter 373 "No, he doesn't." "Honestly, I don't think he looks much like a big boss either," Ron puffed out his chest, standing taller like he was comparing himself. "I mean, con, look at me. In terms of body and presence, how could he ever compete with this?" I rolled my eyes. "But, like, he's the one who invested all the money to start the company, right?" "Yup, he's the real majority shareholder," Ron said. "Me?" He chuckled, "I may look like I run things, but I'm just another glorified employee-sas you and Hayden." His easy, playful tone actually made him seem pretty down-to-earth.
"Then why doesn't he run the company himself?" I asked, still not totally getting it.
Ron scoffed. "What, are you dense? The guy's loaded. He owns a bunch of companies. Who has the tto micromanage all of them?" I glanced back at the private room door, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the short, stocky guy inside was srich business mogul.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'd spent years around the upper crust with the Johnstons, so I knew the big players. But I'd never heard of anyone with the last nHart being this powerful.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Ron saw right through me. "You just haven't been around long enough, that's all." I stayed quiet.
"Our boss is the grandson of Chadwick Hart, one of the old coal barons from West Ridge," Ron continued "He might look older than he is, but he's just over thirty. With the coal business slowing down, the Hart family started branching out. Kylian might not look like much, but he's got brains." Ron tapped his temple for emphasis.
It was all starting to make sense now.
Still, I couldn't help but tease, "West Ridge folks moving in on Seavora, huh? Guess they've really got their fingers in everything." "Wherever there's money to be made, they're on it. And our boss? He's got investments overseas too," Ron added with a shake of his head. "Bet you didn't see that coming." "Definitely not," I muttered, biting my lip. "Didn't expect our big boss to be someone else entirely. I thought..." "Thought what?" Ron asked, grinning.
I thought of Hayden's humble background and decided to keep my suspicions to myself.
Both named Hart, but in terms of looks and smarts? Hayden outshined Kylian by a mile. But when it cto the money? Kylian had the edge, no question.
"Nothing. Let's get back inside before we get fired for making the big boss wait," I joked, and then walked +25 BONUS Chapter 373 back into the private room.

As I opened the door, I noticed both Hayden and Kylian sitting in silence, staring at each other like they'd just had sintense face-off.
My heart skipped a beat. Had something gone wrong between them already? They barely knew each other! Sensing the tension, I quickly apologized to Kylian. "Sorry for the interruption." "No worries, take a seat," Kylian said in his usual laid-back tone. For a supposed secret billionaire, he sure didn't act the part.
2 Ron strolled in behind me, all blunt honesty as always. I gave Ms. Kay a little rundown about you, boss." I froze.
Seriously? Was he really just going to spill that I'd been asking about Kylian?
