Lance came to his senses and rubbed his brow. “You’re done?”Yvette answered. She even dried her hair and did her skincare routine. The gloom in her heart dissipated a lot.It was so late, so they would just talk tomorrow.Yvette was just about to turn around and go to the bedroom when Lance held her wrist.Lance pulled her onto his lap, and Yvette raised her eyebrows.“It’s so late, do you still have energy?”A trace of helplessness flashed across Lance’s eyes. He pinched her chin slightly harder, and his voice was deep and husky.“Don’t provoke me. You know the consequences.”Yvette pursed her lips. “What do you wanna do?”Lance gave her a sullen look and pinched the soft flesh around her waist. “Are you upset tonight?”Yvette blinked her eyes. “Am I?”“Don’t lie to me. I told you that we should just be frank with each other. If you have something to say, say it straight. Don’t get upset.”His tone was deep and patient. He did not look the least bit angry.Even if he was
Lance rubbed his chin, let out a low chuckle, and shrugged.“Well, I can’t refute what you just said. Perhaps I was a bit negligent about your arrangement. Clearly, you’ve thought it through more comprehensively than I did.”Yvette breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but smile.Lance raised his eyes to look at her. “Then which position do you think is most appropriate for you at the moment?”That was the main question.Yvette hesitated for a moment and spoke straightforwardly.“Director of the Project Department or Vice President?”She looked at him expectantly.Lance did not look shocked or disgusted. His response was as calm as usual, which was a relief to Yvette since she was asking for a lot.This meant that what she said was not very excessive.Lance pondered for a few seconds before looking up at her.“You want to handle projects immediately?”The tone of his voice was clearly not very approving.With Yvette’s ability, the projects she had gotten in Quimbey
Lance froze and got up to find that no one was there.Yvette, who usually could not get up even after he woke her up several times, suddenly disappeared?Lance was shocked as he washed up and got dressed. Yvette was not in the living room or anywhere in the house.It was so strange!When Lance called Yvette, she seemed to be busy with something, and she was also speaking incoherently.“I went to work by myself. Since we’re leaving separately, don’t be late!”After saying that, she hung up the phone.Lance was truly dumbfounded.Did the sun start rising from the west?This was too unbelievable!Lance simply packed up. He was not quite used to not having Yvette around dilly-dallying.As usual, Lance arrived at the office on time.The employees passing by came in one after another and nodded at Lance in greeting.Lance nodded back and did not give too much of a response before he went to his private elevator.Once Lance arrived at his floor, his male assistant seemed to be b
Lee, who was cued by his colleagues, looked confused. He thought about what he had just seen in the office and shook his head, even more puzzled.“I don’t know anything!”There were a lot of discussions all around, and the conference room was noisy.This impromptu meeting was too sudden and made everyone speculate what happened.When Lance came in, everyone fell silent.However, Lance was not the only one who came in. Yvette followed him inside.Everyone felt even more puzzled.Almost everyone in the room had attended their wedding and knew of Yvette’s identity.There was nothing inappropriate for Yvette to attend this senior management meeting.However, was this a signal that Yvette would officially be involved in Sheldon Corporation?Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Lance sat down and spoke straightforwardly.“Mr. Lawrence, has the money on the books been replenished?”This question was like a boulder thrown into a calm body of water. Everyone was instant
Mr. Lawrence's face was ashen, and his body was trembling. He covered his face and sounded somewhat remorseful.“I’ve invested all my money. I was really too desperate. I approached the person in charge of that casino, and they promised to give me a chance to make a comeback and get it all back. It’s just for ten days.”An exasperated shareholder just wanted to kick Mr. Lawrence. “It’s been half a month now. You’re not a kid anymore, so do you believe such bullsh*t? How did the company recruit people like you in the first place? You’re simply a failure!”Mr. Lawrence looked up pleadingly.“Mr. Sheldon, please don’t call the police! Can we settle this matter privately? I’ll get the money back. I promise!”Lance’s gaze was dull.“Mr. Lawrence, I really underestimated your naivety. You still expect to get back $200 million from the casino? We’ll certainly get that money back, but you’re not the one to do it…”His voice was cold with a bit of indifference and gloom.“The police wil
Another person frowned slightly and immediately spoke.“No, I think we should find a young person who is active and has foresight. Director Collins has been in his position for ten years without much contribution. Making him the vice president will just drag down the company!”“What are you talking about? You want a random young man to take this position? It’s better to be safe than sorry. Director Collins is an old employee, and he’s reliable. What’s wrong with that?”“I think Aiden Zink from the headquarters is a good candidate. He has excellent ability and he’s young…”“Bah! Aiden Zink is your son-in-law! You’re really straightforward!”......Lance frowned speechlessly. His face was already quite glum.On the contrary, Yvette was not the slightest bit upset. She was watching this group of dying old men quarreling with each other and found it quite interesting.Lance was speechless and knocked on the table. His tone was cold and serious.“Are you guys done?”With that, eve
The old man was angered by Fiona’s words but did not know how to refute them.Fiona laughed and said, “How about this, I’ll ask him about it later and will teach him a good lesson. I still have some urgent business here, so I can’t talk…”After that, Fiona immediately hung up her phone. Her face became glum as she cursed.“What bad luck!”Fiona looked up at her three good friends that were still waiting on her turn in a card game. She immediately plastered on a smile and greeted them.“Let’s continue! It’s just a small matter.”Sitting across from Fiona was Yvette’s mother.Mrs. Quimbey raised her eyebrows. “A small matter? What did Lance do that someone else had to come complaining to you?”Fiona pursed her lips. “Sigh, he’s just a kid. I no longer care about the company’s affairs, so complaining to me won’t do him any good. But some people still don’t understand this!”Mrs. Quimbey paused. “Did Yvette cause trouble recently?”Fiona rolled her eyes at Mrs. Quimbey.“What ar
Yvette resisted the urge to jump in joy and suppressed her inner excitement.“I am happy. I’m just afraid that you’ll be in a difficult position.”She pretended to look generous.Lance saw through her thoughts and laughed lightly. He bent over and pinched her cheerful red face.“What’s so difficult about it? You’re my lawfully wedded wife, so I can give you any position. It’s just a matter of words. Those who want to oppose it are just making a fool of themselves.”Although Yvette did not want to laugh, she had to say that Lance’s words were very soothing.It completely satisfied her vanity.Lance’s wife could go anywhere she wanted, let alone be a mere vice president.Yvette looked at him with a smile.“Then can I do as I please in the company?”Lance waved his hand.“You can do whatever you like!”Yvette jumped up excitedly on his body and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, hubby!”Lance was stunned by this sudden action. Fortunately, he was quick to hold her,
