After Jasper Leung finished telling Lisa everything that he witnessed about the Youngs' corruption at the Corporation's Singapore branch, he felt like he ran a marathon. He was sweating hard and even panting as if out of breath. This was how much he felt incensed at the Youngs' audacity on behalf of his idol businessman. He glanced at his idol's reaction.
Lisa's expression didn't change much. Although he didn't look cold and indifferent like usual, there were no obvious emotions on his face.
Jasper began to feel unsure. Was it the correct decision to tell everything to CEO Manoban? Maybe he should've waited until he started working for the White Tigress company before confessing about all the misconducts he witnessed during his short stint at the Corporation's Singapore branch. This way, he could build more job security for himself.
As soon as this thought entered his mind, he felt disgusted of himself. He wasn't a martyr but he hated seeing blatant injustice. This was why he couldn't stomach seeing the Youngs' misuse of their power and ended up offending Romeo Young.
"You did well," Lisa finally said.
Relief filled Jasper. This meant that his idol had no plans of denying Jasper's claims. "Sir, I'm sorry for asking this but...did you know about the Youngs' abuse of power?"
"En."
Jasper was shocked. "Then why....?"
Lisa paused and looked like he was considering how much to tell him.
"CEO Manoban, you don't really have to explain anything to me—"
"It's fine," Lisa said, leaning back on his seat and steepling his fingers over his chest. "You'll eventually know of these things sooner or later, anyway, whether I tell you or not."
Jasper was confused. What did CEO Manoban mean? He stayed silent and waited for his idol to explain.
"For now, I can't touch the Youngs because they have a mysterious group backing them which we've already proven over here to be extremely dangerous. They already murdered four young men. Those four were about the same age as you before their untimely death. They're the ones who assisted Diana Young in her failed attempt to trap me."
Jasper was horrified. Of course, he knew about Diana Young's sinister plot to sexually violate his idol. The story was all over the news for many days now. In the first place, it was the main reason why he stood up against Romeo Young's plan to use the Singapore branch's company resources to twist the truth to gain sympathy for his slut daughter while putting the majority of the blame on the victim, CEO Manoban. But about Diana's accomplices, he hadn't heard anything about them on the news. They were murdered?!
"Although they assisted Diana Young in harming me, I don't think they deserve to be murdered," Lisa continued saying.
Jasper nodded, agreeing with his idol's words. Those four young men were probably just paid by Diana, that evil woman, to help her plan succeed. Yes, they were criminals for acting as accomplices to a crime but death was too harsh of a punishment for them. He couldn't help but shudder in fear at the thought that there was such a highly dangerous group behind the Youngs. No wonder they dared to abuse their power without any fear.
"C-CEO...."
"Romeo Young has a huge pride and ego. He'll probably continue targeting you. If he's in a bad mood, he might ask his family's backers to 'take care' of you."
Jasper blanched. "Sir, what do I do?! I'm just a new graduate who came from a normal family! I don't have the means or power to protect myself. By how you describe the backers of that family filled with immoral animals, they sound like the mafia. Oh no. What if they target my family as well?"
"Don't panic, Titanic!" Louis interjected. "Jasper Leung is now an employee of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services! The cute and mighty me won't allow anything bad to happen to my loyal employees! This is what my daddy and my mommy taught me. If any evil poopoo-heads dare to harm my employees, they'll suffer under my mighty paws of justice! Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"En. The Youngs may have backers but you now have me as a backer as well since you're going to be my son's official employee soon."
"Yes, that's right, cat fight! My daddy is super-duper to the highest level awesome and so is my mommy and my uncle and my great-grandpa and the other members of our one big happy family! Jasper Leung, you have to sign the employment contract as soon as I send it to you so that the cute and mighty me and my daddy can send you some protection immediately! Meow~"
Tears formed in Jasper's eyes. "Thank you, CEO Manoban! Thank you, Mr Kitty Manoban! Thank you so much! I'll owe you for the rest of my life."
"No need, seaweed! The rest of your life is too long. I and our big happy family are not slave drivers like those poopoo-heads from the Youngs! Right, Daddy? Meow~"
Lisa nodded. "Just do your job well and assist my son in running his company. He's still very young, so I hope that you can help me and my wife to look after him. He's your actual boss but the company is under my wife's friend's name for legal purposes. I hope that you'll help keep my son's existence a secret because I don't want my child targeted by people with evil intentions. The public also doesn't know that I'm the real backer of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. I also want to keep this a secret to prevent others from taking advantage of my son's company to get closer to me."
"Yes, CEO! I understand! Please rest assured that I won't breathe a word of all these secrets to any other people including my own reflection in the mirror."
"En. You have my thanks."
Uwah! His idol thanked him!
The video call finally ended. Jasper slumped on his seat from the unbelievable experience. His heart was still beating fast. Then he straightened his back, suddenly feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders after knowing these many secrets about his idol.
He clenched his fists. "CEO Manoban, I'll definitely work hard to make me deserving of your trust!"
