"Get the hell out of here! You're fired!"

"Sir please, no. Let me explain."

"I don't need your explanation!"

Hendrick slams his hand on his working table and massages his temple.

The now ex-secretary tried to beg once more, the company has the best benefit for employees and a high paid salary but the CEO is a no mercy heart person. 

“S-Sir..”

“That is final!”

The secretary stormed out of his office, crying and holding her hand in her mouth.

His driver-bodyguard didn't even bother to react. He has known his boss for ten years already. That kind of scenario or attitude of his boss is not new to him. He pretends he didn't hear or witness anything. 

This is the second time Hendrick fired his secretary in the span of three years being the CEO of Walters Corporation. His father's secretary decided to retire also after his parents passed away. His first secretary who already worked for one year spilled coffee on the important documents that he needs to review for signing. Hendrick doesn't like clumsy people. And that one earlier accidentally deleted the data he needed for this day and forgot to make a back-up. 

For Hendrick, time is gold. He doesn't waste time when it comes to working, he doesn't waste someone else's time and for him, every time and effort they spend on that matter must give proper care, focus, and attention. That's how he appreciates his employees, giving importance to the time they spend every second of their work. Everything must be in order, organized, neat and all the things that are needed to finish today must be accomplished today, don't delay. Simple rules he just wants everyone must follow. And if you don't follow those rules, the word 'mercy' is not in Hendrick's vocabulary. His company pays a high salary and he doesn't like wasting money on staff who don't focus and just slack off in his company office.

At the age of 22, his parents passed away. He didn't expect to handle this huge responsibility at a very young age. 

Back then, he enjoyed what every teenager normally does. Having a good time with friends, leisure time with their hobbies, motor racing, skateboarding, basketball. But now the only time he has for himself is to do the workout in his own house. He doesn't even remember the last time he went out with his friends, on top of that, he never experiences getting into a relationship. Well, that thing is something not to be forced anyway. 

For three years, he forgot how to smile. No one can figure it out about his feelings and emotions unless you are a long time friend or he reveals it to you personally. 

Hendrick has a half-brother on his mother's side and they grew up together. Hai Kuan is three years older than him but his interest in medicine and now he is managing their private hospital. He can read and understand his emotions and actions by just observing him.

Hendrick just sighs and calls the Human Resources Department manager.

"Hire me a new secretary in three days. I want a new fresh graduate who can value the time and effort of his own work. That's it!" 

The manager on the other line didn't even have the chance to say hello and goodbye. Hendrick cut the line already. He checks his wristwatch, he still has one hour before the exclusive meeting with the CEO of Wilson Group of Companies. He met Mr. Wilson many times already since he became CEO and he doesn't know why he is soft-hearted when it comes to Mr. Wilson, he is like a father to him. His parents are best friends but because he studied abroad during his college, he never had the chance to attend the family gathering with the business affiliates and associates of his parents. He is not interested in the first place. His parents let him do and choose what makes him happy and comfortable. That's why he is giving his best and exerting much effort to raise and build a better future that his parents left for him. At least he can repay, through hard work and hardship and continue their goal and vision.
