Chapter 163
[John Cena, where have you been?]
[John Cena, you have ten minutes to show up in front of me. I need a reasonable explanation.]
[Alright, very well. No one has ever dared to stand me up. Do you want to die?]
After reading the messages, I realized, "I'm not afraid of you at all!"
Your people messed around with me, so I won't serve you with a smile.
Whether you're a vice president or a chairman, I won't give a damn.
I didn't reply to her. If asked tomorrow, I would say my phone had issues.
I turned off my phone and fell asleep heavily with Rita's fragrant and soft body in my arms.
But I didn't sleep in. I got up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast for them.
After they got up, the delicious breakfast was already on the table.
"Daddy!"
Judith ran over, looking pleasantly surprised.
I lifted her up and kissed her on her chubby little face. "Judith, do you miss Daddy?"
"Yes!"
She nodded. "I miss you every day!"
Rita didn't say anything. She looked at her with indulgence.
I hugged her waist, lightly kissed her lips, and she playfully punched me. "Are you embarrassed? Judith is here."
Judith covered her eyes mischievously. "I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything at all!"
We both burst into laughter.
After breakfast, I took Rita to drop off Judith at the kindergarten, then dropped Rita off at the company building and took a taxi back to the office.
When Lily Wilson saw me, she still had a cold expression. I smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Ms. Wilson. You're getting more beautiful every day."
Lily Wilson glared at me, and I chuckled, returning to my seat.
Grace wore a formal outfit today because it was the official trial operation day for WY Media Company.
Finance, HR, front desk, and marketing were all in place.
Luckily, it was Thursday, so there wouldn't be a company meeting. I sat in the office for a while, gesturing to Grace. She understood, so she walked over with her bag. "I have a meeting with the project manager of Winest Company today to finalize the plan."
I secretly praised her. Despite receiving the first payment from Winest Company, we scheduled the market launch for the end of this month.
It was a perfect excuse.
I approached Lily Wilson. "Ms. Wilson, Grace, and I are going to the Winest Company. I am just informing you."
Lily Wilson glanced at me and then at Grace, and I could tell she seemed a bit displeased.
I thought, 'Wow, her mood changes so quickly?'
"When will you be back?"
"If everything goes smoothly, we'll be back by noon. If not, it might take until the afternoon."
"Just to confirm a plan, does it take that long?"
Lily Wilson snorted.
Damn, she was really jealous.
"Ms. Wilson, we also have other clients to visit in the afternoon."
"Visit other clients?"
Lily Wilson gave me a cold glance. "Which client? What's the company's name?"
Damn, she was really suspicious.
"If Ms. Wilson doesn't believe me, I can take photos and share my location with you later."
I thought she could sense my discontent, but to my surprise, Lily Wilson said, "Alright, not only do you have to take photos, but you also have to share your location with me. If you dare deceive me, you'll see my retribution."
I understood her underlying message. When she said that, she was speaking as my girlfriend, not as my supervisor.
After all, I was already a vice supervisor now, so I didn't need to report to her.
Was I showing too much respect for her?
"Alright! I'll share my location!"
I said stiffly, "Grace, let's go."
As soon as we reached the door, Katherine Bailey's assistant stopped me. "Ms. Wilson wants to see John Cena! "
Damn, she even let the assistant come down to stop me!
I needed to get back to the office, so I didn't have time to play around!
"Um, I have a client meeting scheduled. It's not good to be late. Could you please let Ms. Wilson know that I plan to visit her after I finish? "
"John Cena, who's more important, the client or Ms. Wilson?"
The assistant snorted, "I've informed you. Whether you go up or not is your business. If Ms. Wilson blames you later, don't say I didn't warn you!"
After speaking, she walked away in her high heels.
I was annoyed and said to Grace, "Wait for me here. I'll be right back."
Grace nodded. "Do you want me to come with you?"
I felt touched. "No need."
Soon, I arrived at the vice president's office door. I knocked, and Katherine Bailey's voice came from inside. "Come in."
I walked in and saw Katherine Bailey looking at me with a stern expression. "John Cena, where were you yesterday?"
Her abrupt reprimand infuriated me, but I recalled that I had, in fact, made a promise to her before standing her up. So I suppressed my anger. "Ms. Wilson, I'm sorry, I was working late yesterday, so..."
"Working late? Are you trying to fool me?"
"Absolutely not."
I immediately defended myself. "I was working late with Ms. Wilson yesterday."
Katherine Bailey snorted, "Fine, even if you were working late, why didn't you come after work? And where were you? I messaged you. Why didn't you reply?"
"A client called me after work. I was even carried home yesterday."
"Was it Edward Walker or George Jefferson?"
"George Jefferson. We had dinner at the Sevan Dragon Palace. You can check!"
I had to mix truth with lies to make it believable.
"So, I'm not important to you at all, am I? You ignore what I say."
Katherine Bailey's face was frosty.
I swallowed nervously. Her anger was quite attractive.
However, due to her gastritis, her face was a bit pale, and her cheeks looked a bit thinner than before, making me feel sorry for her.
I couldn't help but say, "Ms. Wilson, you seem to have lost weight compared to a few days ago. It would help if you rested at home for a few days. Why don't you take care of yourself?"
Katherine Bailey was shocked, obviously not expecting me to say that.
"Don't change the subject," she said coldly, but her complexion had improved significantly.
I felt relieved and said, "It's my fault. If you want to punish me, I accept it. But I hope you take care of yourself. It's heartbreaking to see you like this."
Her father's compulsion to seduce her teacher and her mysterious attitude towards her superiors suggested that the woman was likely experiencing inner loneliness. I knew she harbored some secrets, like her deep hatred for her father and Steven Walton.
The in-car video allowed for this observation.
But I was wondering, if she didn't love Steven Walton, why was she working so hard to help Skyliho Group generate more revenue?
Only one possibility came to mind!
She wanted to be queen, or even take over!
