The others shook their heads, declining the milkshake. Only Lenard nodded his head. "I'm thirsty. I'd like to drink so."
"Alright. Let's share it," Talbot suggested and poured half of the drink into two disposable paper cups.
At that mont, the door opened and Wesley walked inside the office.
Upon seeing him, Talbot waved at him. "There you are, Chief! We've left you a few cakes. Oh my! The cakes were so delicious. Where did you buy them?"
Wesley's face darkened once he saw the scattered lunch boxes on his desk. "Who ate them?" he asked rigidly.
Talbot didn't see the sullen look on Wesley's face as he proceeded to drink a mouthful of his milkshake before answering, "We all ate them. But don't worry. We've left so for you."
"Who opened the boxes?" Wesley asked.
"I did, Chief. Why? Is sothing wrong?" Talbot pursed his lips in confusion
Wesley cast a cold glance at him before saying, "You'll get fat after eating all those desserts. Go out and do sit-ups. No less than a hundred sit-ups in one minute. Talbot, you'll do additional thirty push-ups for every sit-up missed. As for the rest of you, additional twenty push-ups for every sit-up missed." He then caught sight of the cups of milkshake that Lenard and Talbot were holding. "Since you two drank the milkshake, you get more exercise too. It will help burn off the calories. Go run two kiloters with five-kilogram weights. Finish it in ten minutes. You'll do additional thirty push-ups for every minute excess."
Everyone in the office fell silent, not quite understanding what was going on. It was the first ti that Wesley had given them punishnts for such a seemingly harmless reason.
Nonetheless, they didn't dare protest. They were soldiers, and soldiers must obey orders. They exchanged a few stumped glances at each other and then rushed out of the office posthaste.
On the training grounds, while they were doing sit-ups, Talbot gazed at the office building with his brows knitted together in confusion and murmured, "What exactly did we do to piss him off? Where was he before he arrived at the office? Did soone snitch on us to him?" He paused to consider it. "But we haven't made any mistakes recently," he continued.
Lenard was also confused by Wesley's behavior. "Beats ," he replied with a shrug. "I caught a glimpse of his face as we walked out of his office. Seed like he was in a bad mood. Did we unknowingly piss him off sohow? Or was he perhaps just taking out his anger on us?"
"Of course we pissed him off! Our chief isn't the kind of man who would make things d
that kind of sum upfront. Besides, why do you have to do this for ?"
'Is he an idiot? I guess he doesn't know anything about the housing price at all, ' she thought. 'The apartnt belongs to the Eastern Coastal Apartnts, easily one of the most expensive apartnt complexes in Y City. It costs at least twenty million dollars.'
"This apartnt is close to your company," Wesley simply said. Carlos had a couple of apartnts, but Wesley preferred this one as the office of the company that Blair worked for was only a few hundred ters away. He knew that the selling price was high. But other than the apartnt in Hillside Apartnts, he also had two other apartnts in A Country that his parents and his grandfather gave him. He could sell one of them.
"This is one of Carlos' apartnts, but he has never lived here once. It's almost as good as new. The developer of the Eastern Coastal Apartnts works for him. Carlos promised to give a fifty percent discount," he told Blair. Carlos had initially offered to give Wesley the apartnt as a gift, but Wesley turned it down. Left with no choice, Carlos offered to give him a fifty percent discount instead.
The apartnt was valued at about 26 million dollars, so now, Wesley only needed to pay just a little over 10 million dollars.
'He wants to buy the apartnt just because it's close to my workplace!' Blair opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. 'Why is he going out of his way to do this for ? The apartnt would still cost at least 10 million dollars even with the fifty percent discount. Does this an he actually has feelings for ?'
"Wesley..." Her voice was soft and carried a hint of affection.
Wesley looked her in the eye.
