Chapter 1777
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âColonel Wesley, sirs,
Iâm really sorry for getting here so Late. Iâm Percy Jameson, the CEO of Jameson Group. Is there a
problem?â
When the employees saw that the CEO, the vice president and the general manager were all here,
they realized that Wesley was not the guy to mess with.
Although Percy was extremely deferential, Wesleyâs sullen face didnât change. He cast an icy glance at
the senior executives and said coldly,

âWeâre Leaving. Blair is going with us. Rest assured, youâll be held accountable for what you put her
through.â
Of course he referred to what Filberta had done to Blair. Filberta knew quite well what she did, and her
heart raced wildly in her chest.
Percyâs face changed dramatically. He had heard of Wesley before-Wesley himself was a man of
influence in the military circles, and his family was very powerful in Askor. Carlos ran Alorith with an
iron fist, and
Wesley wasnât shy about who his best friend was. Percy was pretty well scared of Wesley.
âItâs all my fault, Wesley. I promise you that Iâ1L look into it personally.â
No one in the Jameson Group had thought that Blair had ties like that.
She kept such a low profile all the time, kept her head down, and didnât rock the boat.
âItâs too late for that!â Wesley grabbed Blairâs hand and declared,
âBlairâs my friend, and I donât allow anyone to mess with her. Give her everything owed her, including
bonuses. Now!â
âMy friendâ¦â Blair looked at Wesley with adoring eyes. She was really touched by his words. Although
he just said that she was his friend instead of his girlfriend, she believed that it was just a matter of time
before he called her âHon.â She had to believe that.
Filberta just stood there, frozen, mouth open. The woman thought that all Blair was good at was
seducing men. She had to admit that Blair worked very hard, but this didnât make her likeable.
She flashed back to a time when Blair wore a certain dressâa limited edition from Tiffany and Co. Very
high-priced, and Percy refused to buy it for her. Filberta was so jealous back then that she mocked
Blair, spreading rumors that she was wearing a copycat brand, a knockoff version of the original. More
cheaply made, and overall cheaper. A woman like Blair couldnât afford something so expensive. Now
she knew she was wrong. Blair had Wesley behind her, and by extension Carlos.
Blair could probably easily afford anything she wanted to wear.
Percy mopped sweat from his forehead and looked at Blair with a hopeful expression.
âBlair, if you want to quit, we can be quite generous.
Stock options, medical insurance, re-employment services, compensation for loss of benefits. You
name it, you got it. Youâve always been a hard worker. Iâll personally write a check to-â
Wesley cut him off, âNo need for that. Just give Blair her due. No more, no less.â Percy knew exactly
what he was talking about. Payment for unused vacation time, severance pay based on months of
service, unpaid bonuses, and back pay.
Percy nodded helplessly and turned to his subordinate.
âRamirez, get the financial manager over here.â
âYes, Percy.â
It would take a bit for the financial manager to arrive, so Percy offered Wesley a seat. He wasnât going
to put Blair out, so he secretly gestured for the employee next to her to leave and pulled her chair over.
