Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Chapter 442 – Luckily, There’s Hope for Her



Inside the president’s office.

Due to the previous misunderstanding about Tess Baker, Secretary Wang was a bit overwhelmed to be alone with her again, “Wait a moment ma’am, I’ll grind you a cup of coffee.”

After that, I wanted to leave, it was just too weird in the office.

“No, I don’t like coffee.” Tess Baker said.

“Hehe, the president said that, I just unexpectedly forgot.” Secretary Wang smiled twice, “Then I’ll go and make you a cup of hot tea, I’m not bad at making tea, the president said I make good tea.”

Tess Baker rubbed her brow and didn’t say anything.

“Actually, the president likes coffee, he used to drink coffee all the time, and it’s a very strong and pure kind of bitter coffee.” Secretary Wang had no words to say, trying to regulate the atmosphere, “Since you left six years ago, the president stopped drinking coffee and started drinking tea. Oh, except for …”

“What was the sentence for the little secretary who leaked?” Tess Baker interrupted, her gaze ghostly.

Secretary Wang didn’t know why she suddenly asked this, but still answered honestly, “Thirty thousand dollars fine, one and a half years in prison, and on our company’s blacklist.”

The sentence was relatively light because the leak did not cause the company particularly large losses.

In fact, the initial estimate of the loss caused by the leakage of the wiretap was a little more than thirty-eight billion dollars, but due to The Gate Group’s inability to carry out those projects, the loss was reduced to six hundred million dollars, mainly due to the problems in the borrowing and lending of funds.

“Oh, so.” Tess Baker let out a soft laugh, the corners of her eyes a little sore.

She stayed with Bowen Carter for so many years, and in the end, she couldn’t even be treated like a normal person!

Secretary Wang was laughed by her whole body goosebumps came out, really she this smile is too creepy, “How … what’s wrong ma’am?”

“It’s okay.” Tess Baker’s voice was soft, her eyes looked like release and despair, “You go out, I want to rest for a while.”

Secretary Wang was a bit embarrassed, the president asked her to accompany madam ah!

“Afraid I’ll peek into the office alone?” Tess Baker lifted her eyelids and looked at her with a muted expression.

“Don’t misunderstand me, I didn’t mean that.” Secretary Wang wanted to cry, “But the president specifically explained that I accompanied you, and if I leave like this, it will make the president unhappy.”

“So you’re afraid of Bowen Carter too …” Tess Baker murmured, pushing the door to the lounge straight open and stepping inside.

She wanted to be alone.

Secretary Wang wanted to follow her in, but just as she reached the door, the door was closed, while the sound of unlocking the door came from inside.

“And what a thankless job it is …” she grumbled in a small voice and went to the secretary’s office next door to get the work over and take care of it.

She had to guard the Lady at all times, or if she ran away, she would be the one in bad luck!

the old Carter family home.

Lucy Kid Room.

Lucy Kid stroked her large belly and walked back and forth, agitated.

Even if the Carter family didn’t make a move on her for the sake of the baby, they certainly wouldn’t let her go when she gave birth to the baby!

In case Mrs. South or Master Carter gives her another paternity test of some kind and finds out the baby isn’t Master Carter’s, there’s no telling what they’ll do to her then …

“What to do? What should I do?” Lucy Kid had been under so much mental stress for some time that even though she tried to eat and give her baby and her nutrients, she lost weight at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

She shouldn’t have done such a bad thing for money in the first place, and she regretted it once again, but it didn’t help.

Lucy Kid wiped the cold sweat from her head and walked boldly to the door and opened it.

But before she could get out, she was stopped by a bodyguard.

“I just wanted to use the restroom.” Lucy Kid looked innocent, but her heart was in a panic.

With her phone confiscated, no way to contact Mr. Duke, and these bodyguards watching her so closely, was she just going to have to sit back and wait?

The bouncer’s eyes were full of caution, “There’s a toilet right in the room.”

“There was a problem with the toilet in the room, that’s why I had to go out to use the restroom.” Lucy Kid’s mind raced, quickly coming up with an excuse.

Out of this door, she has a better chance of escaping!

“Something wrong with the toilet?” A bouncer she looked a bit familiar with smiled, “It just so happens that I can fix the toilet, let me fix it for you.”

Lucy Kid s heart was in her throat, her face was pale, and she stumbled a little in her speech, “No need to go to so much trouble, I … can just fix it myself.”

The bodyguards looked at her with a few skeptical glances in their eyes.

“Ms. Sheng don’t be polite, I’m idle anyway, it’s not troublesome to fix your toilet.” Lucy Kid’s more eye-catching one, the bodyguard, said.

This time, before Lucy Kid could refuse, he pushed her to the side and stepped inside.

Lucy Kid followed, her heart beating so fast it seemed to be rushing out of her chest.

What to do?

As soon as this one goes in, it’s going to be obvious that she’s lying!

If they tell the old man about her lying, and he asks her why she lied, what is she going to say?

“Don’t be nervous, I’m Young Master Hams’ man.” The bodyguard came up to her and whispered, then spoke aloud to the people outside, “This toilet is a bit troublesome, you can only hold it for a while.”

Lucy Kid wasn’t relieved by this statement; she wasn’t sure if this man was really one of Mr. Duke’s men or if the old man had sent him here to swindle her.

“There isn’t much time, so hurry up and talk to Young Master Hams about the specifics.” The bodyguard pulled out his cell phone and tapped WeChat to hand it to her.

Lucy Kid tapped on the micro-signal with the note Young Master Hams and looked at the profile to confirm that it was really Frank Duke’s micro-signal before she returned to the chat screen.

[Young Master Hams] Lucy Kid, I’m Frank Duke. I sent Hill Yang.

Lucy Kid had not yet had time to send a message, the opposite side first sent over a voice, and hearing Frank Duke’s voice again, she completely put her heart down.

Luckily, there was hope for her.

The Carter Group, Conference Room.

Everyone can notice that Bowen Carter, who has always been called a workaholic, is a bit distracted today; the meeting has only been going on for about half an hour and he has already looked at his watch at least ten times, with his eyes occasionally glancing at his cell phone on his left hand side.

The CFO and COO, seated next to each other, whispered –

“What’s going on with the president today? Does he have something important to take care of?”

“This meeting to discuss the restart of the six projects is the company’s most important thing at the moment, and besides, even if it’s something more important, when have you seen the president care so much about it?”

“Not really. I’ve been following the president for a little over five years now, and I’ve never seen him get so worked up about anything.”

The Human Resources Director, sitting to the right of the CFO, poked him and whispered a reminder with his lips not moving much, “The President is watching you two.”

The CFO subconsciously looked over at Bowen Carter, just in time to meet his cold stare, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Director of Operations coughed dryly, his face reddening.

Others followed Bowen Carter’s gaze to the two, either sympathizing or gloating or taking things personally.
