Chapter 90
“Alright, Mr. Leon. Is there anything else I can do for you?”
Matthew was getting a headache, so he massaged his temples and said, “You don’t need to pick her up from the airport, but take some people with you to delay her arrival. The longer, the better. If you complete your job well, I’ll increase your salary.”
The assistant paused for a moment. It seemed like Matthew and his mother were not on good terms.
“Yes, sir. I’ll try my best to stall Madam Leon.”
If not for their fractured relationship, he would not be having this
opportunity to get a raise. All he had to do was stall Madam Leon.
How hard could it be?
Consider it done!
‘Salary raise, here I come!‘ the assistant cheered in his heart.
Matthew responded calmly. He had just recruited a new office assistant a couple of years ago, and Matthew was very pleased with him.
He was very hard–working, unlike his personal assistant, who was clumsy and stupid. How on earth did the HR department hire an assistant like him?
After giving out orders, Matthew was about to hang up when suddenly he felt like he was forgetting something. He quickly said into the phone, “I’m not done with the files I left on my desk yesterday.
“Take out the files I’ve finished and distribute them to the other departments first so that they can start working on it.
“As for the other files, lock them in my desk drawer. I’ll go deal with them today.”
“Yes, Mr. Leon.”
When it came to work–related matters, the assistant immediately. became serious. Perhaps this was what constituted the daily routine. of an assistant at a big company.
As for stalling Madam Leon…
That should be the personal assistant’s job, but the personal assistant just so happened to be his clumsy and good–for–nothing cousin. He had no choice but to take care of it himself. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After ordering his assistant, Matthew hung up. He was busy, so he
had no time to waste on his assistant.
He washed up and walked to the dining room.
Lucy had already started eating. She wanted to wait for Matthew, but the chef next to her was so intimidating that she started eating first.
Matthew did not mind at all. As long as Lucy was happy, it did not matter whether she waited for him or not.
Why should Lucy cater to his preferences?
He could just cater to her preferences instead. She was his wife, so he was more than happy to pamper her.
He was nothing like that scumbag, Timothy.
With such thoughts in mind, Matthew sat down and quietly ate
breakfast.
With the chef around, Matthew and Lucy did not argue today. They finished their meals and remained well–behaved.
After they were done, the chefs began clearing the dishes.
Matthew fixed his tie and got ready to go out. He wanted to ask his wife for a kiss before he went out, but as soon as he was about to ask her, Lucy looked at him in surprise. “Didn’t you have trouble sleeping last night? Why don’t you stay home and sleep in?”
Lucy’s question made Matthew freeze on the spot. He smiled wryly and said, “I didn’t get a good night’s sleep, but it’s not a big deal.”
Lucy responded, “No, you have to stay with me today.”
