She's the Campus Prince

Xander sat in the back seat of the Maybach, slowly taking off his black sunglasses

as he looked out at this city that was both strange and familiar.

It had been seven years since he left.

New York had changed so much that it was almost unrecognizable to him.

Soon, Xander rolled up the window.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting himself rest.

At the Murphy Group, some employees were sharing the latest news in the bathroom.

"Work's almost over. Is Mr. Murphy really coming back today? We're not going to have to work overtime tonight, are we?"

"Probably soon, right? I heard he's already at the airport."

"He looks so handsome in that photo. I wonder if he's just as good-looking in real life."

"I heard Mr. Murphy is still single."

The girls chatted while fixing their makeup.

The guys, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel the pressure.

Everyone knew a new boss meant trouble ahead.

When Xander walked in, they knew their gut feeling had been spot on.

His handsome face was completely expressionless, and his impressive height alone was intimidating.

Even the girls who'd been secretly fantasizing about him earlier didn't dare let their imaginations run wild anymore.

They didn't even dare to sneak a glance at his face.

Even so, a quick peek at his figure told them he was built just right.

Xander's icy gaze swept over everyone present. "Sorry to keep you all waiting. My

flight was delayed by two hours, so I'll need everyone to stay and work

overtime with me for two hours to make up for the lost time."

Everyone was shocked.noveldrama

Overtime?

He just got back, and they already had to work overtime?

What on earth was he up to?

While everyone was silently complaining, Xander turned around with one hand in

his pocket. "Meeting in the conference room in five n leadership.”

"Yes, Mr. Murphy," his assistant responded immediately.

Then, Xander headed back to his office.

The employees finally started gossiping among themselves.

"Can you believe Mr. Murphy's a total workaholic?" one of them muttered. "The new boss just has to make a statement,” another complained.

"Ugh, overtime is the worst," someone else groaned.

"Ahem!" Just then, the assistant cleared his throat.

Everyone fell silent immediately.

He continued, "Starting this month, per Mr. Murphy's orders, everyone's salary goes up by 30%."

There was a stunned silence for a few seconds, then the room exploded with cheers. "Thank you, Mr. Murphy. Mr. Murphy is the best!"

"There might be overtime from now on, but you'll always get paid for it," the assistant added.

"Overtime? Who cares? I love working!" someone shouted.

"I'll work myself to the bone for this company," another added.

Xander didn't let the execs off until ten at night.

Then, he went straight back to his office and dived right into the mountain of paperwork.

He'd spent years overseas, and now that he was back to take over the Murphy Group, he had to take care of every little thing personally.

"Mr. Murphy," the assistant spoke up, a little hesitant.

"Go ahead," Xander replied without even looking up from the reports.

"Mr. Murphy, it's already 10 pm. You've been going nonstop since you landed. Maybe you should take a break."

Xander still didn't look up. "You're off for the night."

"What about you?" the assistant asked.

Xander looked up at him, his gaze cool and indifferent as it landed on the assistant's face.

The assistant stiffened, his eyes wide.

He quickly added, "Mr. Murphy, that's not what I mean. I'm just worried about your health..."

Xander cut him off. "You're dismissed."

With that, he lowered his head and focused back on the reports on his desk.

The assistant had no choice but to leave the office/

Guys like Xander-born with a silver spoon, but still grinding harder than anyone else-were really one in a million.

It wasn't until midnight that Xander finally finished all the reports.

He stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

The city's glittering nightscape lay at his feet, as if the whole world was beneath

him.

Xander murmured softly, "Cameron, I'm back."
