Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 482

Daniel caught the fragrant scent of the three women and couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath. Even Carlos couldn't resist stealing a few more glances at the three beauties.

"Dang! Why doesn't Xenos Factory have such stunning women? If it did, I wouldn't have settled for a plain woman in my second marriage," Carlos thought.

"Hello, Mr. Swanson," Daniel greeted Anthony respectfully.

With a light smile, Anthony responded, "You are?"

Considering Sean and Owen were both CEOS, Anthony was confident that the teenagers Carlisle brought along were no ordinary people. He figured that these young men would also undoubtedly become elites in the workplace someday.

Daniel grinned broadly and said, "Daniel Scott, at your service!"

Anthony vaguely recalled that "Daniel Scott" was the son of Ryan Scott, the CEO of Xenos Factory.

He smiled gently and extended his hand.

"Anthony Swanson. You can call me Anthony like Mr. Zahn does."

"Oh no, that won't do. I can't possibly address you like Carl does. I'll call you Mr. Swanson!" Daniel replied as he shook Anthony's hand with both hands, presenting himself as a humble junior.

Anthony's eyes filled with admiration, finding Ryan Scott's son well-mannered and humble.

Glancing at Anthony's work badge hanging on his chest, Carlos realized he was the Director of Human Resources at Aurora Holdings. A director at Aurora Holdings held higher authority than one at Xenos Factory. This implies that Anthony was superior to Carlos.

However, Carlos wasn't too bothered about it. He figured that once he became CEO, he would report directly to the chairman. By then, even a senior director like Anthony would have to treat him respectfully.

With that thought, Carlos straightened up and turned to Daniel.

"Daniel, do you know what business Mr. Zahn has with me?"

Daniel replied, "Beats me. But there's a stack of personnel action forms on his desk."

Daniel's words settled Carlos' anxious heart.

Glancing at Anthony, Carlos said, "Mr. Swanson, I'm Carlos Zeigler. I assume you've heard of me."

Anthony was momentarily startled. He remembered receiving a call from Carlisle, whoContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

instructed him to prepare a termination notice to remove Carlos from his role as Director of R&D at Xenos Factory.

"Mr. Swanson, you're looking at the future CEO, Mr. Zeigler! Where are your manners?"

Daniel winked at Anthony.

Being a seasoned white-collar professional, Anthony immediately understood Daniel's implications. Without hesitation, he extended his hand and smiled politely.

"Mr. Zeigler, it's nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you?"

Carlos raised his brows at Anthony's hand, clearly displeased.

He then spoke in a superior tone, "Don't you mean 'It's an honor to meet you'? There's a difference."

Anthony found Carlos' arrogant demeanor annoying and decided not to play along anymore. Fortunately, their elevator had arrived on the 18th floor just in time. Anthony quickly stepped out with the three female colleagues, rushing to prepare Carlos' termination notice.

Anthony's disrespectful attitude left Carlos momentarily stunned.

Gritting his teeth, Carlos turned to Daniel and said, "Daniel, when you start working, you must take note of the hierarchy in the workplace. With that kind of attitude, Anthony won't last long in the company!"

Daniel chuckled and replied, "Got it, Mr. Zeigler. Let's head to Aurora Holdings."

Carlos went to the restroom to tidy himself up. Clenching his teeth, he plucked a few stray hairs from his beard and wet his hands to smooth down his large pompadour.

After adjusting his tie three times, Carlos finally followed Daniel to the chairman's office. When Daniel knocked on the door, Carlisle's voice sounded from inside, "Come in."

Carlos was taken aback by the youthful voice. He couldn't help but wonder if it belonged to the chairman's son.

Xenos Factory's organizational chart hadn't been updated yet, so no one knows what the chairman looks like aside from Ryan.

Daniel opened the door, his smile fading as he said coldly, "Please, go ahead."
