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,
Yvette’s body stiffened. Her gaze slowly moved to her colleague’s meaningful face. She was confused.“Why do you want to bring me clothes?”The female colleague looked around and blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.“Didn’t you just do ‘that’ in the office…?”She laughed and whispered close to Yvette’s ear. “Usually, Mr. Sheldon looks so serious. No one expected that he’s quite amorous. But why didn’t you lock the door? Now everyone knows about it…”Yvette’s face turned completely red.Yvette thought that she was a master of love and could speak nonchalantly about love anywhere she went without so much as a frown.At this time, Yvette just wanted to burrow into a crack in the ground because of what her colleague said.“I-I-I… We didn’t do anything! It was just a hug!”Yvette gritted her teeth and lowered her voice to explain.The female colleague looked at her with an expression that said, “It’s okay, I understand. You don’t need to pretend…”“What are you afraid of? You’r
Mr. Lawrence’s state was even worse than just now.He probably felt that there was nothing left to struggle on, so he could only honestly give an account of what he knew.The police pursued the question that they did not get a satisfactory answer on earlier.“Mr. Lawrence, how did you contact the owner of the underground casino? Were you alone the first time you went there? Or did someone take you there?”Mr. Lawrence looked at Lance with a gloomy face. Every word he said was the opposite of his original intention of sitting in this position.Yet, no amount of regret could bring everything back to the way it was in the beginning.“I went alone. At that time, I just got this position, so I had more social engagements. Everyone was trying to get in my good graces, so I would basically go for drinks every day. One time, I drank too much. Everyone left, so I also wanted to leave. There were barely any people on that street, and somehow, I just walked to a doorway. I didn’t know at fi
The police made it sound very simple as if Mr. Lawrence could go home once he was done.However, Mr. Lawrence knew that it was impossible.Even if they could recover $200 million, he was still guilty as charged.Lance was so forgiving only because the money still had not been recovered, so they still needed his cooperation in many aspects.Mr. Lawrence also understood this very well.He was at the end of his rope, so he had no choice but to cooperate till the end.Mr. Lawrence nodded, turned his head to look at Lance, then followed the police and left.Once everyone was gone, Yvette sighed.“$200 million…”Lance saw her heartbroken look and suddenly felt a little relieved that she finally appreciated how difficult it was to make money as soon as she took office.Just as he was about to compliment her, Yvette’s regretful voice rang out.“How many bags can I buy with $200 million?”Lance’s opened mouth snapped shut in an instant. He looked at her with a calm face and laughed.
The two people at the center of the gossip were now alone in the same office. Although they were a married couple, those rumors were still taken as a laughing matter.Gossip attracted the most attention after all.Lance was not satisfied with Yvette’s answer and intended to call someone to investigate this.Before Lance dialed the number, Yvette bluntly told him.“You don’t need to ask. Once you ask, people will only think that you’re guilty!”“What do you mean by that?”Yvette raised her eyebrows, turned her chair very leisurely, and smiled.“Because your assistant saw us hugging in your office earlier, he thought that we just did some strenuous exercise… Now, this gossip is all over the office!”Lance’s face went from amazement to shock, and finally, it became stiff.It all happened in a few short seconds.Yvette was amused. She should have told him earlier because his reaction was too funny.She thought about what she was just worried about and thought that it was nothing
The receptionist pondered for a long time and could not pinpoint it.Fiona and Mrs. Quimbey went upstairs. Halfway up, the elevator stopped, and two employees came in.The two employees whispered about some gossip.“Is it true? You guys saw what happened? Mr. Sheldon really had sex with Ms. Quimbey in the office?!”When they were discussing it, they were so excited that they did not notice that there were two other women in the elevator.Fiona and Mrs. Quimbey’s faces became tense in an instant, and they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.The other employee said, “How can I see what happened? Mr. Sheldon’s assistant was the one who said that he saw it with his own eyes. That scene was just so hot that he would’ve gotten a nosebleed!”“After all, they’re newlyweds, right? I saw the internal notice. Ms. Quimbey isn’t a secretary anymore. Ever since Mr. Lawrence embezzled company funds, he was taken away, and Ms. Quimbey is taking his place as vice president. In the future, we mus
Mrs. Quimbey smiled and said, “You’re so busy. Your mother and I were just casually strolling around.”Fiona looked at her son with a bit of coldness in her gaze. How could she not notice that her son was trying to please his mother-in-law?She raised this son for nothing!Lance took them to his office.Before he could say anything, he watched as his mother wandered around his office, looking left and right. Fiona even went to the lounge and bathroom to check carefully as if she was looking for something.Yvette’s mother just had an embarrassed look on her face.Lance was helpless and asked, “Mom, what are you looking for?”Fiona asked, “Where’s Yvette? Why are you not together?”Lance rubbed his temples. “She has her own office now, so of course, she won’t be in my wardrobe…”He gritted his teeth a little and looked at Fiona. She even checked under the wardrobe and everywhere that could hide someone.Was she looking for Yvette or a mistress?This was too humiliating, especi
Lance’s words gave Mrs. Quimbey a piece of mind, which allowed her tense heart to settle a little.Mrs. Quimbey originally thought that Yvette would not be able to do the job and that her status would make the employees unhappy.However, when she heard what Lance said, she thought that she had been overthinking it.Since it was beneficial to both parties, what was there to worry about?This remark made Yvette blush in embarrassment.Lance was a really good liar. Clearly, Yvette was the one who asked for this position, yet Lance made it sound so grand as if Yvette was forced to take up the position.Besides, those things that happened at the board meeting were still fresh in Yvette’s mind. Those people did not unanimously agree on that decision. Instead, the voice of the opposition was suppressed.However, this was also good.Yvette looked at Lance with delighted eyes.When Lance looked up, he met Yvette’s gaze. Yvette seized the opportunity to wink at him and raised her eyebro
