Chapter 119 Do You Have Any Humanity?
Kaine shrank back at the words. Throughout the entire Lawrence Group, only his wife dared to speak to Mr. Lawrence like that.
Let's just have the meeting, let's just be the secretary, after all, she was just a little tail.
However, within this half-hour meeting, Kaine had to do things that went beyond Isabella's imagination.
Looking at the pile of materials in front of her, as well as various details to take note of, she couldn't help but ask, "Kaine, may I ask about your monthly salary... Can you disclose it?"
"Madam, what's the matter?"
"I think, if Sebastian doesn't give you a million dollars in salary, he would be mistreating you."
Kaine replied, "Madam, you're joking."
Isabella reached out to grab the materials, but she couldn't move them by herself. Kaine helped her, and only then was she able to hold them and slowly walk out.
Kaine sighed. The boss’s wife loved to speak without thinking, easily provoking Mr. Lawrence and inviting trouble for herself.
Isabella followed behind Sebastian, walking towards the meeting room.
With the materials in her arms, she couldn't walk fast, and it was also not easy for her to see the way, making her appear flustered.
As for Sebastian, he acted like a grand lord, hands in his pockets, walking with ease, exuding a powerful aura and showing off his style.
In her heart, Isabella hated him, wondering why he had to strike such poses and act cool.
What a show-off!
If he were truly a gentleman with manners, he should help her out!
Perhaps guessing what Isabella was thinking, Sebastian casually said, "I pay you a salary so that you'll work. Understand?"
"I came here to learn from you, not to be your laborer!"
"That works out perfectly. Others don't have access to learning from my experience, but I'm teaching you so easily. If you earn from it, then it's only right for you to put in some effort and it's worth it."
"Yes," Isabella gritted her teeth, "Mr. Lawrence!"
He glanced at her and stepped into the elevator.
Isabella followed, looking disheveled.
Kaine watched this scene from afar, shaking his head repeatedly, but he couldn't do anything.
He was about to return to the secretary's office when he saw the elevator next to him open.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of women's shoes.
Heaven, Kaine thought, could it be Miss Lynda?
Following the shoes, he looked up and when he saw the woman's face, he froze for a moment.
It was Emily's first time coming to the CEO's office, not knowing where Isabella was. Once she stepped out of the elevator, she looked left and right.
"She doesn't reply to my Whatsapp, nor does she pick up my calls... What is she up to?"
Emily muttered to herself, looking down at her phone. Just as she was about to make another call, a shadow suddenly cast over her.
She looked up.
"Miss Perez," Kaine said, "are you here..."
Emily saw him, her eyes brightening slightly.
"Yes."
"You, uh, just right! I came to look for Isabella, Isabella."
"Hello, Miss Perez."
"Why are you here?" Emily asked, "Don't you remember me? We've met before, do you still have any impression?"
Kaine nodded, "I remember, otherwise, how would I know your last name is Perez?"
"Yeah, yeah, don't call me Miss, these days it's not good to call someone Miss," Emily laughed cheerfully, "Thank you for last time. Helping me with the onboarding process and introducing me to new colleagues."
"That was Mr. Lawrence's order, it's what I should do."
"So, you are..."
Kaine answered, "I am Mr. Lawrence's assistant, Kaine."
"Oh, I see! I knew it, why were you so caring towards me that day. Mr. Lawrence is really nice, of course, you are too," Emily said, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, Perez..."
"Emily," she looked at him, "My name is Emily."
Kaine also smiled, "Hello."
"Is Isabella here?" Emily asked, "I have something to discuss with her. If she's not here, is Mr. Lawrence here?"
"Unfortunately, Mr. Lawrence and his wife are both at a meeting."
"Ah..." her face immediately drooped, "I came at such an inconvenient time."
"If you have anything, you can tell me. I will convey it to Mr. Lawrence or his wife for you."
Emily shook her head, "Actually, it's nothing. After joining the Lawarence Group, I've always remembered Mr. Lawrence's kindness in my heart. So, I wanted to meet with him and say thank you."
Kaine thought for a moment, "That's not necessary. Mr. Lawrence won't mind such small matters."
"I know, for someone like him, he wouldn't even think twice about it. But still, I want to express my gratitude. Apart from thanking him, I also want to thank Isabella."
Kaine looked at her, "You know how to be grateful."
"It's only natural, I also want to thank you. Kaine, do you have time for lunch today?"
"Ah? I..."
Emily directly said, "If you can, let me treat you to lunch."
"This..."
"Alright, it's settled then." Emily smiled at him, "See you at noon. Oh, by the way, let's exchange Whatsapp."
She showed her own QR code and pointed at his phone.
Kaine stared for a few seconds, then took out his phone and scanned it.
"I'll send you the restaurant address later." Emily waved her hand, "Remember to let Isabella give me a call. Bye, Kaine."
"Goodbye."
Kaine watched as Emily entered the elevator and stood still in his original position.
Until the elevator doors closed.
Closing the door, he only came back to his senses and looked down at the screen of his phone... her Whatsapp.
Emily.
What a beautiful name.
Inside the meeting room.
Sebastian stood at the door, not entering but slightly tilting his body to glance at Isabella next to him.
After being with him for a long time, Isabella could guess some things without him even saying a word.
"Are you still going to make me push the door for you?" Isabella said, "Don't you have any humanity? Capitalists aren't supposed to exploit people like this."
She was holding the documents in both hands and could barely see where she was walking. And he still wanted her to help push the door?
Doesn't he have hands?
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this supposed to be within your job scope?"
Isabella glared at him, too lazy to argue with him any further. She went straight to the door, used her shoulder to push it open, and walked in.
Sebastian followed suit.
The meeting room was already filled with people, except for the seat at the head, which was still empty.
Who's missing? Why isn't Kaine here? Does Mrs. Lawrence have to take care of such small matters?
"Let's begin the meeting." Sebastian walked towards the head seat and uttered those two words.
The others quickly averted their gazes.
Isabella started to get busy, handing over the corresponding documents to Sebastian whenever someone mentioned a certain project, all the while silently sighing in her heart about Kaine's workload.
It's really heavy! It's not easy to be able to handle it for so many years!
