Chapter 67 - Women's Scent

Evan parked his car in front of the Chu Pharmaceuticals building to visit his friend Ken. They had been friends since childhood and been through a lot.

Unlike him, Ken has a different personality, he grew up with a golden spoon, everything he wants growing up he will get but even so, Ken grew up to be ruthless.

He never smiled unless it's for him or Glen, and he's more violent than his father who happened to be the boss of one of the gangs in the country.

Evan altered his tie as he felt suffocated. When he entered the building, he could see all the frown faces of the employee.

They knew their boss, if Ken sees someone smile, he will shout at them, fire or worse beat them up.

Most of the employees didn't get a chance to have their anniversary in the company, they will either get fired or leave by themselves.

As he was about to proceed to the elevator, he noticed his friend Ken near the fire exit door, with four bodyguards behind him.

Yes, unlike him, Ken needs bodyguards, countless people had tried to murder him but Ken was like a bad grass that couldn't be killed.

He might even have the life of a cat, he has been ambushed numerous times, shot by his father's enemy but the man survived and, came back alive.

"You peasant moron, did I not to tell you to get the formula right?"

Ken's thunderous roar echoed in the quiet lobby, and his voice was full of anguish, it was as if the man had killed his wife where in fact the problem was so simple.

The poor man in front of Ken shiver in fear, his body weakened and slumped on the ground, and the image in front of Evan was not new, it was like going to the same museum and see the same painting.

He had seen this moment, numerous times, a man or a woman kneeling with fear in front of a ruthless God. Evan shook his head, none of the employees even tried to whisper or check what was going on, they already knew it so they kept their head buried on their work.

Out of nowhere, the man held Ken's leg.

Tears fell down to his pale cheeks, his lips shaking in fear said, "please don't fire me. I need this job for my daughter," the man pleaded.

Evan shook his head, his mind had predicted what was about to happen and he was right, Ken's shook off his leg and kicked the man like it was an empty lifeless can.

He could hear the thumping sound of the man's body as he hits the wall and it followed by the man's painful groan.

Evan sigh, he couldn't understand Ken's behavior even the man's psychologist quitted after some time, none of the people he knew could change him and no matter how much he tried to lecture him, he just wouldn't listen.

"Hey Ken," he called him name after noticing that he was about to kick the man again.

Ken turned to him; his face was wrinkling with anger but, his eyes were glooming with indescribable emptiness.

Ken had never felt any type of love from his father, while his mother left when he was just small and Ken had never even tried to find her.

"What are you doing here?" the anger on his face disappeared, but it turned emotionless with his lips pressing together tightly.

"I need help," he said, showing him the folder in his hand.

Ken smiled a scary smile that could shiver anyone's skin.

He knows what Evan meant by help since his father died, he took over his underground business.

Having a pharmaceutical company allows him to have access to create drugs, both legal and illegal. He was not afraid to get caught, in the country where politicians are corrupt, he doesn't need to worry about going to jail.

He walked closer to Evan and took the folder, just like before, his friend would give him the names of the people who didn't pay their dues in his bank. Ken will have his men scare those people and force them into paying and he and Evan don't care where they would get the money, either legal or illegal, all they wanted was to get the money back.

Ken handed the folder to Kuwan, his right-hand man for his underground business.

"I want the money on Monday," Ken said, his face has no emotion just like a lifeless doll or even worse.

"Yes sir," Kuwan said snappily and rushed out of the office.

"Shall we go to my office?" Ken asked, pointing his hand to the elevator.

Evan nodded, and they both proceeded to the elevator.

There was a woman inside, she pushed the 30th floor and faced the door, avoiding to meet her boss's eyes.

Ken's eyes narrowed, he sniffed in the air and his mind exploded when he smelled a woman's perfume.

"Did the HR inform you that I hate perfume?" he spoke, deep and cold.

The woman's face went pale as soon as she met her boss piercing eyes, it was like looking at the hungry lion.

She gulped hard nervously, bit her lips and huddled in the corner.

"push the next floor button and get out of my sight. Get your paycheck in the HR."

The woman didn't have a choice than to nod, and she left the elevator as soon as it opened.

"You fired two people today Ken," Evan stated, his back leaned against the wall of the elevator.

Ken smirked as a response, "you know how much I hate women's scent," he sighed, looked at the glass screen on the upper left side of the elevator door showing that they are about to reach the 30th floor.
