The Legendary Man
Chapter 83 Humble Graham That was the reason he had flown back into the country overnight.
Zachary, the King of War, wasnât the reason he rushed back.
Instead, he knew the one acquiring his company was Jonathan, Asura.
Three years ago, Asura, who lead the Four Asura Guards, had defeated all his enemies and united the nation.
Wherever they went, everyone submitted.
In other words, Asura could easily commandeer the entire city of Jadeborough at a single command, let alone Graham Group itself.
Therefore, no one in their right mind would dare disobey his orders.
âMr. Goldstein, this way please.â Grahamâs demeanor grew so servile that it utterly shocked Barry.
Other than Barry, Josephine and the lady were equally stunned.
âMr. Cabot, he-â Before Barry could finish, Graham interjected, âSave it. Just pack your things and leave! And donât ever let me see you again!â
âMr. Cabot!â Barry panicked at Grahamâs orders.
âSecurity, throw him out at once!â Graham ignored Barry as he gestured to the guards. Amidst Barryâs agonizing cries, Jonathan personally led Jonathan and Josephine to the top floor where the chairmanâs office was.
âMr. Goldstein, please have a seat.â
After ushering Jonathan to his seat in person, Graham instructed his secretary, âPrepare a cup of coffee for Mr. Goldstein. No, wait. Iâll do it myself.â
Just as he spoke, Graham personally made Jonathan a cup of coffee.
Watching everything unfold, Josephine gaped in disbelief.
As for the secretary, she too was astounded by what she saw.
Is this the distinguished person the Chairman spoke of? Isnât he kind of young?
âJonathan, what is going on?â While Graham was making coffee, Josephine looked quizzically at Jonathan.
Graham Group is Jadeboroughâs top real estate firm, while Graham has a net worth of tens of billions.
Therefore, why is he acting so subserviently toward a new employee like Jonathan?
No wait, itâs more than that. He is behaving in an utterly sycophantic manner!
âI donât know either.â Jonathan spread his hands helplessly. From the beginning, he had never seen Graham before. He simply relied on Andrew to make all the arrangements.
All he was supposed to do was to take over the firm.
âMr. Goldstein, your coffee is ready.â Graham personally served Jonathan the coffee. Picking up his cup, Jonathan took a gentle sip. âItâs good. Are these brewed from exotic beans?â
âYes!â
Graham nodded at once. âIf you like them, you can take them with you when you leave.â
âNo, itâs fine.â
Waving his hand, Jonathan said, âIâm here today to start work. Iâm sure you know about it, donât you?â
âStart work?â
Graham was stunned. Didnât Andrew say that Jonathan was here to take over Graham Group? How did it end up with him having a job here?
However, given that he was a cunning old fox, Graham quickly saw through the situation. âYes, I have heard.â
Satisfied with Grahamâs reaction, Jonathan casually asked, âIn that case, when do you think I can start work?â
âAnytime you wish.â Graham obviously didnât dare set a time.
It was the wiser choice to let Jonathan decide for himself.
After all, he could seize Graham Group anytime he wanted.
âHow about tomorrow morning at eight? What do you think?â Jonathan proposed.
âNo problem.â
Graham nodded vehemently.
âThatâs settled then.â After putting down his coffee cup, Jonathan stood up and looked in Josephineâs direction. âDarling, shall we go?â
âMmm-hmm.â
Despite the burning questions in her heart, Josephine suppressed the urge to ask them.
Are we leaving just like that?
Although Graham was equally confused, he sprang to his feet and offered, âMr. Goldstein, Iâll walk youâ¦â
âThereâs no need to.â
Jonathan waved his hand. âBy the way, I still donât know your name.â
âIâm Graham Cabot. You can just call me Graham,â Graham suggested meekly. His obsequious attitude shocked his secretary behind him.
During the ten years she had served Graham, she had never seen him treat someone in such a way.
Even when he met with Zachary, Graham wasnât this servile.
âGraham?â
Just as Jonathan called out, Josephine tugged his sleeve and gave him a look. The next moment, Jonathan rephrased, âMr. Cabot.â
When he heard himself being addressed as Mr. Cabot, Graham lowered himself even further.
In fact, he didnât even dare acknowledge the greeting.
âMr. Cabot, Jonathan doesnât really know how things work around here. Please forgive him if he has offended you in any way.â Josephine attempted to quickly defuse the situation. However, Graham was even more terrified after hearing her words.
So much so that he didnât dare say another word.
It wasnât until he escorted Jonathan into the elevator that he was finally able to relax.
Meanwhile, the moment the elevatorâs door closed, Josephine gave Jonathan a cold stare. âTell me.
Whatâs going on?â
âWhat do you mean whatâs going on?â Jonathan feigned ignorance.
âStop pretending!â Josephine snorted. âDonât you dare tell me that Graham treats all his employees that way!â
After all, it didnât make sense for Graham, someone who was worth tens of billions, to behave in such a subservient manner toward Jonathan, to the extent of getting Jonathan to address him by this first name.
Josephine smelled a rat.
âDidnât you hear him say? A few years ago, he saw me from afar.â Jonathan added, âHe must have seen me with Zachary. Thatâs why he is treating me so respectfully. Itâs probably all on Zacharyâs account. Or else, do you think I deserve to be treated this way based on my own merits?â
Jonathan blamed in on Zachary again.
âIs that so?â Josephine gave Jonathan an unconvinced look.
Somehow, she felt as if Jonathan was hiding something from her.
âThatâs probably it.â
Clearing his throat, Jonathan tried to change the topic. âDarling, what time are you supposed to go back to work in the afternoon?â
âThree⦠Itâs already two thirty?â
Jolted by the time, Josephine remarked, âIâm late, and thereâs still a lot of decorations for the annual party left outstanding. Weâll talk later. I gotta go now.â
The moment the elevator doors opened, Josephine hurried out of the building.
After Josephine had left, Jonathan went back into the elevator and returned to the chairmanâs room.
Inside, Graham, who was just about to have a sip of coffee out of relief, jumped to his feet frantically.
Lowering his head, he inquired, âMr. Goldstein, why have you returned?â
