Two hours had already passed, but they still couldn't find Joseph. The shareholders had already lost
confidence in Joseph since the day Anna barged in the meeting room without a notice.
Now, they began to be restless again, so everyone was calling Frederic.
They didn't mention Charles, but they all asked Frederic what would happen to TS Group.
If the stock continued to fluctuate, TS Group would be in trouble.
How could Frederic not be anxious?
That was the reason why he called Charles. But to his dismay, Charles' only reply was, "Nancy has a
cold, so I can't leave now. Let's talk about it later."
Frederic was so angry that he almost threw his phone.
"Nancy is a good woman. Well, she is, but we can't let Charles ignore the fact that our company is on
the verge of falling! What do you think we should do?"
Helpless, Hardy and Angelina looked at each other.
After a while, Angelina said, "Nancy is a sensible girl. She will persuade Charles to go to the company."
"I think so," Hardy echoed.
The two had a good impression on Nancy as if they hadn't been against her before.
"I hope so..." With a sigh, Frederic closed his eyes hard.
They knew Nancy well. At this moment, it was impossible for Nancy to keep Charles at home.
"I just caught a cold. I still have an operation today, so I have to go to work. You should also take a look
at the company. After all, Joseph left such a big mess, and someone must take over. Joseph is
missing. If you don't care about the company anymore, the company will really fall. Are you willing to do
that?"
"Are you goading me?" Charles chuckled.
"I just don't want you to fight against Grandpa anymore. He has already taken a big step back when he
agreed to our marriage. You should also take a step back. Now that Joseph is not here, you can't let
him down again. He will not be able to bear it."
Looking at her, Charles knew he had no choice but to obey her. "Well, I'll listen to you. Now let's have
dinner first, and then I'll go to the company."
To be honest, Charles didn't really want to compromise to anyone. Now that he had achieved his goal,
it was time to get things back on track.
If it went on, it would cause a great loss to TS Group.
As the CEO, Charles couldn't bear it.
"Good boy." Nancy snickered.
"You... Nancy..." Faking his anger, Charles gritted his teeth.
He stretched out his hand, pretending to do something bad on Nancy's body.
Just then, Bobby and Nadia came out.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Nadia asked, "Mommy, will you take us to see godmother's little baby?"
Nadia spent the whole night thinking about how the baby would look like.
"Mommy is too busy today. Can I take you there another day?" said Nancy.
"But I really want to see the baby in godmother's belly. Does it look like Nadia?" Her innocent eyes
stared at Nancy.
"No, it's not like that. It's a baby boy, so he probably looks like me. With bright and clear eyes and high
nose... He is as cute as me," Bobby argued.
Shaking his head, Charles interrupted, "You think too much. The child is your Godfather's. Of course,
the baby looks like him."
"Daddy, why does godfather's child look like him? Tell me..." Another weird question came from Bobby.
"It has something to do with genes..." Because he knew that Bobby wouldn't stop asking, Charles
immediately changed the topic. "This question is too complicated for a kid like you. You'd better hurry
up and eat, so you could go to school. You are going to be late."
In her mind, Nancy gave Charles a thumb's up.
The children's questions were endless. They were all going to be late if they answered it one by one.
After breakfast, Charles drove the children to the kindergarten and then went straight to the company.
Meanwhile, Nancy drove to the hospital by herself.
The first thing she did was check on Doris and her baby. She felt relieved when she saw that they were
both alright.
Then Nancy went to the operating room and performed an operation on an eight year old girl.
Soon it was noon, and Nancy had nothing else to do so she just stayed inside her office. 'It has been a
long time since Charles went to work. I wonder if he can adapt to it soon.'
With this thought, she called Charles.
"How do you feel? Are you tired?"
How could Charles not be tired? The office was in a mess because of Joseph. Everything had to start
from scratch.
Charles was too busy to drink coffee the whole morning.
His face wrinkled when he sipped on his coffee and found out it was already cold. "I'm tired."
Nancy's heart ached.
Glancing at the clock, Nancy asked, "What would you like for lunch?"
"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat anything now." Since he came into the office early in the morning, he
had been busy reading documents, having meetings and as well as cleaning up his office.
Now that things were starting to be back on track, he opened the documents again.
There were so many things for him to do that he was not in the mood to eat.
But Nancy was worried about him, so she decided to bring him food to eat. "How can you not eat? Wait
for me. I'll be there soon."
"Hey, Nancy, don't come here..." Before he could finish his words, Nancy had already ended the call.
In a hurry, Nancy drove to a small restaurant, and bought some spicy chicken for Charles. He liked
spicy food, so she bought what he liked.
She bought several dishes, all of which were fried and spicy.
At home, Charles seldom used chili to cook because they were living with the children. Now that she
would bring him food, she could buy what he really liked.
Thirty minutes later, Nancy was already at the TS Group.
Of course the security guard didn't stop Nancy.
With the lunch box in her hand, Nancy took the elevator to the top floor of the office building.
"Madam, I'll tell the CEO." The secretary didn't dare to go to Charles' office the whole morning for fear
of disturbing the president's work.
Today... Everyone was so busy.
But the secretary was willing to work hard today.
At least she didn't have to be as worried as she was when she worked for Joseph.
Nancy waved her hands in a hurry. "No, thanks. I can go in by myself."
"All right," the secretary said in a low voice.
After giving the secretary a polite smile, Nancy walked towards the CEO's office.
Staring at her back, the secretaries began whispering.
"Joseph is a high-profile man and found a high-profile woman. Charles is keeping a low profile and has
a low-profile woman... It's better now. I'm really tired of Joseph. He shouts loudly every day, and is not
like a CEO at all."
"Yes, I hope there isn't any trouble again. I've had enough."
They whispered about what had happened in the past few days.
Not interested in these things, Nancy gently pushed the door and entered the CEO's office.
Even when he heard the door open, Charles kept looking at the files. He didn't expect that it was
Nancy. Without raising his head, he asked, "What's up?"
Not in a hurry to reply, Nancy tiptoed in the front of Charles and held the documents on his hand. "It's
time for lunch. The first thing you need to do is to eat."
The moment he heard Nancy's voice, Charles raised his head and chuckled. "You came here so soon."
"I was afraid that you might be hungry, so I came here soon," said Nancy affectionately.
Thinking that Nancy would get tired from driving, Charles said in distress, "I said I'm not hungry. Why
are you still here? It's far from the hospital."
"I don't have any operation this afternoon. My schedule isn't tight." Grinning widely, Nancy teased, "So I
decided to bring you something to eat and see if there are any beauties in your
office."
