“Take him away." commanded Percy, cutting straight to the chase. He defended Nina and leveled Pierre with a cold
stare.
He knew Pierre would come looking for him and cause trouble after the investor's decisions broke.
However, he did not expect Pierre to lose his cool so soon.
"Yes, sir." The security guards stepped forward. While they felt a little awkward that it was Pierre they had to escort
out, Percy was nonetheless the one who paid. Hence, they had no choice but to listen to Percy's instructions.
"How dare you! I'm one of the shareholders of this company!" glowered Pierre at the security guards behind him.
He was standing in his family's company, but he was asked to leave, taken away by the security guards. It would be
humiliating if the others found out about this!
The three security guards hesitated for a moment.
"I'll call the police if you refuse to leave. I believe they're still looking for you now," warned Percy.
He had given Pierre an option — be kicked out by security or be arrested by the police officers.
Pierre frowned. Not only did he get slapped in the face this time, but he also came here to get himself humiliated.
He would remember all these!
Pierre's menacing eyes swept across Pierre and Nina's faces. He snatched his arms from the security guard's grip,
turned around, and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPercy glared after Pierre's back and instructed his assistant, "Tell the technical department to set up an elevator
access control system."
"Yes, boss." nodded the assistant, immediately leaving to do as he was instructed.
Usually, there was no elevator access control system to this floor. After all, no one would normally walk into here to
cause trouble. The ordinary employees would not dare to come to this floor to make trouble.
In the past, Percy never said anything about it, so the technical department never did anything about it either.
Now, they had set up the elevator access control system to prevent Pierre from coming up here to stir up trouble
again.
After all, Pierre was one of the company's shareholders, and he was the second master of the Mallory family. As his
subordinate, there was nothing they could do to stop Pierre from getting in.
After Pierre left, the security guards and Percy's assistant turned to leave too, leaving Percy and Nina in the office.
“He's finally gone," muttered Nina as she heaved a sigh.
"Are you frightened?" Percy knew Pierre was Nina's worst nightmare.
Even though Percy had been by her side for many years, he still could not help Nina overcome her fear for Pierre.
"No. I even slapped him in the face just now!" exclaimed Nina as she shook her head. If she was facing Pierre alone,
she would never have the guts to do that.
It was only when she was behind Percy, only then was she empowered to dare slap Pierre across his face.
She had made up her mind to do something terrible to him, which was to slap him across his face with all her
strength.
Percy looked at Nina's reddened palm. He imagine how hard the slap had to be to make Nina's palm so red. Percy
held her hand, feeling sorry for her. He did not feel sorry for Pierre getting slapped in the face, but he was
concerned about Nina.
"Don't slap someone with your palm next time. Use something else," said Percy. Pierre was in pain, but Nina's palm
hurt too.
Nina understood what he meant. She could not help but mumble, "There was nothing I could grab at that moment."
"Then let me do it." Percy kissed all her ten fingertips.
"No. It felt better to do it myself. Hitting him with a brick was what I wanted to do the most just now," mumbled
Nina. How she wished she could crush Pierre's bones.
Of course, it was just her imagination. She dared not to do either.
"Sounds like a great idea," beamed Percy with joy.
"Hey, physical assault is against the law." chastised Nina as she withdrew her hand, Her fingers were no longer in
pain, it seemed like Percy's kisses worked magic on them.
"It's not a human you slapped." Percy could not be bothered whether or not Pierre was his younger brother, he was
a beast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You're so mean. He'd be pissed if he heard that." said Nina, hugging Percy and placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
Percy held her in his arms. "He's in a bad fix now. He wouldn't dare come looking for trouble."
He even pondered that maybe he should not have saved Pierre when Luke had secretly sent someone to deal with
Pierre at the time.
Would Nina feel better that way?
"Hey, you've won a great victory today. We shouldn't be wasting time talking about someone like him. Why don't we
talk about how we are going to celebrate your victory tonight?" Nina rested her head on Percy's chest, listening to
his heart beat strongly. She felt satisfied.
What came after the feeling of satisfaction was happiness and joy.
Fortunately, Percy did not give up the career that he had spent his life on just because he chose her.
Fortunately, she did not become his burden this time.
"How are we going to celebrate..." Percy paused for a moment. He lowered his voice, teasing her playfully, "Why
don't I book a suite tonight and celebrate there."
Nina immediately understood what Percy meant. Her face reddened, “How can you think of such things?”
“What else?” Percy lowered his head and looked at Nina. "Isn't it something good that's worth celebrating?”
“It is, but your friends have been a great help in this matter. We should treat them to dinner tonight and thank
them.” Nina was talking about Luke and Jim. They had been so much help to Percy today.
Although they did not show up to the conference meeting, they entrusted all their shares to Percy — their shares
which were bought from individual investors using their subordinate's accounts.
