Chapter 5
Kingsley arrived at the entrance of Neveah Department Store’s parking lot accompanied by the clinksand clanks of the janky Santana.After sizing Kingsley and his car up, the parking lot attendantdisclosed with disdain, “The parking fee is twelve bucks per hour. Ruining over the boom barrier willcost you five thousand.”Kingsley was rendered at a loss for words for a moment. “Got it,” he mumbled.Does this guy think I’ll hit the boom barrier and run away, figuring I can’t afford the parking fee?Thenagain, he couldn’t blame the guy for thinking so, for anyone driving such a janky car might actually notbe willing to pay a couple of bucks.Kingsley learned from the profile Lancer gave him that Reene’soffice was located at the top of the office building behind the department store.Hence, he wasted notime and rode a staff elevator to the top.After exiting the elevator, he was greeted by a bright loungewith three window walls filled with greenery and the sound of rippling water resounding through thespace.It got him exclaiming involuntarily. Reene’s taste is still so refined and sophisticated.She actuallybuilt an elegant sky garden in this part of the town where every inch was worth a fortune.But just as heplanned to search for the president’s office, a guard securing his falling hat was running to him,shouting, “This is the president’s private area. No one else is allowed in this premise!”“I need to talk toyour president.”“I don’t care what business you have.” The guard panted while saying impatiently, “Youhave to book an appointment with Gardiner if you want to see the president.”“Gardiner?” Kingsleyscratched his chin, asking, “Is he a he or a she?”“What does it have to do with you? Get the hell out ofhere! I’ll get a scolding if the president replaces out a stranger has entered!”However, just as the guardwanted to shove Kingsley out, the elevator door opened with a ping again.A stunning beauty in a low-cut evening dress sauntered out of the elevator the next second. “What’s going on?” she asked with afrown.The woman was none other than Kingsley’s eldest sister—Reene Wynn.“P-President, you’re notin your office?!” Terrified, the guard stuttered and pointed to Kingsley. “This guy insisted on barging in.I’m chasing him out right now!”Reene looked coldly at Kingsley in response, her gorgeous face elegantand cold.“It’s been a while, Reene.”Her name sounded a little foreign to Kingsley after having not said itfor over a decade.The guard, on the other hand, immediately condemned Kingsley upon hearing him
call Reene by her name. “How dare you call her by her name?! She’s—”However, the guard paused hiswords the next second, for he saw Reene’s icy face melt into a puddle of gentleness.“You… Are youKingsley?” she asked with a shaky voice while covering her mouth with her hands.“It’s me. I’m back,Reene.”“It’s really you…”Tears fell like a never-ending waterfall from Reene’s eyes as she scrutinizedKingsley’s face for a solid minute before throwing herself into his arms, sobbing, “We… We all thoughtyou were dead… We even claimed a disfigured corpse… What took you so long to comeback…”Kingsley patted his sister’s back while taking in the affection he hadn’t had for so long. “Well,I’m back, aren’t I?” he cooed.“Will you leave again?”“No, never again.”At that, Reene wiped her tearsaway and punched his chest lightly, feigning anger. “You son of an a*shole. Do you know how worriedwe’ve been in the last ten years? If you dare run away again, I swear I’ll break your legs!” In contrast tothe affectionate scene between the brother and sister, the guard was scared sh*tless, shuddering likehe was naked in the arctic.It wasn’t until after a long while that Reene jolted back to her senses and leftKingsley’s arms, returning to her usual noble self after fixing her evening dress.“Gus, you can just leavehim be whenever he comes over.”“Y-Yes, ma’am… Got it…” the guard stuttered while wiping the coldsweat off his forehead, his head so low that it was practically on the ground.After entering thepresident’s office, Kingsley sat across Reene and chuckled. “Reene, is Gardiner a he or a she?”“She.Why?”“I have nothing to worry about then.” Kingsley grinned. “Have you forgotten, Reene? You and theothers promised to marry me when we grow up.”“That’s child’s blabber. How can it count when we’replaying pretend?” Reene changed the subject with a flushed face. “By the way, the others still don’tknow you’re back, do they? We should all gather in a couple of days!”“Are they all inCleapolis?”“Jessica and Courtney aren’t, but the rest are.”With that, Kingsley asked with interest, “Iknow Alice has become a doctor, but what is everyone else doing?”“Serena… I guess you can say sheprovides service for special clients. Victoria’s managing a tea house. Well… let’s just call it that. Yulia’sthe least troubling one among them. She’s a big-time model now. Jessica will come back everyChristmas, but no one knows what she does or where she is. As for Courtney, she’s studying at acollege in a nearby city. Then again, because of her two-hundred-plus IQ, she behaves a littleweirdly…”“Why does it sound like none of their jobs are average…” Kingsley’s cheek twitched upon
hearing Reene talk about his six other sisters’ recent situation. “Servicing special clients, managing a‘tea house’, no one knows where she is, behaves a little weirdly… What is all this?”Though he knew hissisters were no plain Jane, never had he imagined they still went on such unorthodox paths…“Let themexplain it to you themselves.” Reene smiled mysteriously. “Who knows? There might be a pleasantsurprise?”“Yeah, well, I’ll replace out sooner or later.” Kingsley sighed and tucked away his smile. “Now,let’s talk about you.”“Me? What about me?” Reene smiled awkwardly and tucked an errant lock of hairto the back of her ear, facing Kingsley’s stern look. “You’ve seen it for yourself. I’m now the president ofa department store. Things can’t get any more glorious for me.”He had wanted to ask her about thesanction by the Roseland Chamber of Commerce and if the Wynns were bullying her, but he swallowedhis words when they were at the tip of his tongue.Knowing how assertive and aloof Reene was sinceshe was a child, he surely wouldn’t be able to get anything from her if he asked directly.Thus, hegrinned and went along with her. “You’ll have to support me when I run out of money then!”“Oh, you!Just come to me whenever you need money. I can afford to support you!” Reene smiled and seemed tohave eased.“Reene, you’ve gotten a lot sexier since I last saw you ten years ago.” Kingsley changedthe subject, taking a sip of water while checking out Reene’s beautiful evening dress. “But isn’t it a littletoo much for you to always dress in something so fancy?”“Shoot!” Reene exclaimed upon hearing hiswords. “I was so excited to see you again that I’ve forgotten something important!”
