Francesco was stunned. He hadn’t the foggiest clue about what was happening.’Billy should’ve angrily summoned Bonnie and given her hell for acting so arrogantly. So, why is he not upset at all?’Scratching the back of his head, Francesco asked, puzzled, “What are you laughing at, Mr. Billy? A-Aren’t you supposed to be angry?””Angry?” Billy wiped the smile off his face and looked at Francesco. “Why should I be angry?””Well…” Francesco monitored his leader’s expression carefully. He hesitated for a brief moment before saying, “Didn’t Barrett start acting cockily not long after he’s got your stamp of approval? I-If you don’t teach him a lesson now, he’ll continue to do and say whatever he wants-“Before he could finish his sentence, Billy cut him off.”Why are you saying that he’s acting cockily? Is this because he spoke rudely to you? Are you jealous of Barrett because I like him?”Francesco saw his leader’s menacing expression and felt sweat drenching the back of his body. He was stuttering when he spoke again. Ads by PubFuture
“T-That’s not what I mean, Mr. Billy. I-I’m just worried that Barrett might dismiss your authority in the future.”Billy snorted coldly. “Do you think I’m a fool? What makes you think this is something you need to worry about?”Francesco had no idea what he said wrong, but he could sense that Barrett was Billy’s favorite. So, he didn’t dare to say more on the subject. Instead, he hung his head.Billy saw it and knitted his brows tightly.”Raise your freaking head!”He spoke furiously and scared Francesco witless. The latter couldn’t help but tremble.Then, Francesco gulped heavily before mustering up the courage to raise his head slowly. “I-Is there anything you need, Mr. Billy?”Billy’s frown grew deeper when he saw that Francesco still looked puzzled. “Do you seriously have no idea what you did wrong?” Ads by PubFuture
Francesco gave it a long thought, but, for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out what he had done wrong. Then, he looked at Billy and shook his head. “I-I’m not sure if I get it.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.”You’re such a moron, Francesco! It would take a miracle for you to see it!” Billy glared at him, the disdain in his expression was unmistakable.It took Francesco to raise his head earlier. Now, however, he lowered it again.Billy shook his head. He might’ve found Francesco in disdain, but the man had worked for him for a long time. So, he proceeded to explain it to him.”Barrett is highly intelligent. He also knows how to read the situation and react accordingly. He’s aware that he’s got my stamp of approval. That’s why he started treating you differently. “This is his way of testing me. He wanted to find out just how much I valued him. More importantly, he wants to know if I value him more than I do you.” Francesco frowned. He was about to say something when he heard Billy’s voice again.”Not only does he know how toperceive the human mind, but he also knows how to use it to his advantage. He’s truly meant to do big things! After all, have you ever someone submissive do incredible things? Are people who grovel destined for greatness?” Francesco still didn’t quite get it.”You say that, Mr. Billy, but he appeared to be very grateful to you. Then, out of nowhere, he started acting cockily… It feels more like hecouldn’t keep up the pretenseeanymore and his true colors are starting to shine.”
