Chapter 368
Chapter 368
Although Leo had been afraid of his uncle Andre since childhood, every request and word from Andre
was meant to guide him towards a better future.
Leo knew that beneath his fear of his uncle, lay a deep admiration.
Upon learning of Leo's arrival, Chad laughed and said, "Great, you being here can lend me a hand."
Because the person he had a morning appointment with had a special status, Andre had handed his
phone to his assistant to hold onto. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
After wrapping up his meeting, he saw that his nephew had called, and his wife as well.
He decided to return his nephew's call first.
"Uncle, are you done with your meeting?"
Andre simply hummed in response, "Did you call for anything in particular?"
"No, just wanted to let you know that both of them have been safely escorted to their destination. Just
wanted to put your mind at ease."
Andre then asked, "You didn't all meet for lunch just to eat, what did you talk about?"
Leo glanced at the suspended Officer Chad and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe you
should ask your wife."
Chad put down the papers he was reading, and looked at Leo, "I'm curious too. What did Molly say?"
Leo: "Why don't you ask your...err, ask your sister."
Chad was taken aback by Leo's spontaneous remark but quickly pretended not to have heard it. He
chuckled softly and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
In the afternoon, Mia woke up.
Looking at the time, Andre figured his wife was now awake and called her.
Mia picked up quickly, her voice soft and sweet, "Hello, honey."
Andre pretended to be indifferent, his voice icy, "Did you call me for something?"
Mia pursed her lips, thinking about the unusual sensation in her belly before bedtime. She smiled and
said, "Wait till you get home, I have a surprise for you."
Andre, "Are you sure I'll want to accept it?"
"Of course, you'll definitely love it." Mia sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, "Hmm, honey,
are you free for a video call? I want to see you."
Andre was in his car, but he still accepted his wife's video call request.
On the video, Mia had already changed into her pajamas. She held up her phone, showing her cute
round face. "Honey, I'm going to give you a kiss, hold your phone to your face and I'll pout and pretend
to kiss you."
Andre: "......"
Perhaps his wife didn't realize that he was on speakerphone.
The driver didn't dare to speak.
The assistant in the passenger seat didn't dare to make a sound.
"Cough, sweetheart, there are other people in the car."
Mia: "......"
Beep, beep, beep. Once again, Andre was ruthlessly hung up on by his petite wife.
Looking at the astonished expression on Mia's face, Andre couldn’t help but laugh. She was so
adorable and pleasing to the eye.
He laughed in the back seat, causing his two subordinates in the front to join in.
"President, your wife really loves you, doesn't she?"
With that question, Andre's mood got even better. "She did something naughty this morning and is
trying to butter me up."
Andre sent a text to his wife while laughing: [I have a business dinner, we can video call after 8.]
Little Kittemia responded: [Honey, how many people were in the car just now?]
After sending that, she sent another:[ Do I know all of them?]
Andre, with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, told her: [A driver and an assistant, you know
both of them.]
Mia felt really embarrassed.
From that day on, Mia often placed her hand on her belly, rubbing it as she walked, protecting it while
eating, even while watching TV.
Hansen noticed, "Mia, you got gold in your belly?"
Mia looked down at her belly, "This is maternal love~"
Hansen, ever the straight shooter, "Who becomes a mom and still gets into fights?"
"You old man really do not know how to have a conversation." Mia retorted.
Hansen shot back, "You little kid really don't know how to be a mom."
Finally, Hansen won a round.
Mia didn't accept defeat easily. When Naomi came over, she promptly shut up.
She hadn't forgotten Naomi's promise to give her a lecture.
"Naomi, where's Leo?"
Naomi looked around, "Right, where did he go after he dropped you off?"
Mia: "Naomi, you're biased. You only care about me and criticize me, but you never mind your son."
Naomi was amused by her sister-in-law's comment, "Is it wrong for me to care about you?"
"You should also educate Leo."
"Alright, when he comes back I'll give him a few slaps for you, to make you feel better."
Mia nodded eagerly, she was all for it.
Leo, who was destined to be beaten, had just parted ways with Chad. Chad had initially planned on
having dinner with Leo, but his demanding sister called.
"If I don't come pick you up, do you plan on not coming home?"
"Well, if you don't pick me up, I'll just stay at the office overnight."
Chad felt he had spoiled Molly too much.
Leo, familiar with the temperament of these two, volunteered to leave, "Chad, I'll head out first. We'll
catch up tomorrow."
After Leo left, Chad headed towards Chad Inc. to pick up his sister.
Molly, who had been working all day, shut down her computer as soon as it was time to leave,
preferring to spin in her chair rather than work overtime.
Her coworkers were all working overtime, but she was contemplating what she should have for dinner.
"BBQ? It's too hot. Snacks? Forget it, my conscience would hurt without dad around. Steak? Am I
supposed to celebrate my brother's suspension? Let's not. What else is there, let me think."
Molly lay back in her chair spinning in circles, murmuring to herself, undecided on what to eat.
The manager had no idea how to treat her, knowing she was the daughter of the CEO and possibly his
future boss. Should he pamper her? Or wait on her hand and foot?
Before long, Coleen came down to her daughter's floor.
While everyone else was working late, she was the only one slacking off.
"Molly, why aren't you working?"
Molly replied, "I'm not earning your overtime pay, I'm off work."
Coleen: "......"
Other employees: "......" The princess sure had guts, wasn't she afraid the CEO wouldn't let her inherit
the company if she was displeased?
"Have you finished your work?" Coleen asked.
Molly handed her the files on her desk, "The manager gave me some tasks to familiarize myself with
the company culture, benefits, and job duties. I've done all that."
The CEO had arrived, so the manager came out to greet her.
Coleen turned to the manager, "Is that all you assigned her to do today?"
The manager couldn't quite figure out the CEO's temperament, so he simply said, "Of course,
president. It's natural for a newcomer to need time to acclimate to the company environment. But Miss
here claims she could navigate the premises blindfolded, so we didn't take her on a tour. We've been
focusing on her job training in the office instead."
Before long, Chad arrived at the company's entrance. He had also come to the company and went
upstairs to check out his sister's work environment.
As he approached the door, he could hear his sister's voice, "Mom, I'm really taking this seriously."
His entrance drew the attention of those around him, with many female colleagues admiring the aura of
authority that the man exuded.
