After returning to the chairwoman’s office.
She immediately asked Kacey to go and bring over the relevant information about the company’s top management.
“Chairwoman Cox, you don’t need to be in such a hurry. Eat something first. I’ll have the kitchen downstairs cook up a table of dishes…”
“Just have someone bring something simple up.”
After Kacey left, Cate turned to Elle and said, “Thank you. If you weren’t here today, Jeffery would’ve hit me for sure.”
“You’re welcome. It’s my duty to protect you.” Elle smiled faintly. “If you’re thankful, then thank Mr. Lyons.”
Cate also wanted to tell Shaun the good news and called him. “Shaunny, what are you doing?”
“Eating.” The man’s reply was very concise.
Cate became unhappy and pouted. “Why aren’t you asking if I succeeded today? You don’t care about me at all, hmph.”
“Elle already texted me an hour ago.” Shaun’s low voice was mixed with a smile. “Chairwoman Cox made a killer appearance at the shareholders’ meeting today, looking like a woman of steel. It seems like I can only be the man standing behind a chairwoman in the future.”
“My status isn’t ordinary now and many men want to be the one standing behind me. Watch out, you’d better be obedient and listen to me, or else I’ll replace you.”
Cate harrumphed while smiling.
He had always been the one who had the reins on her and managed her, but now, she finally had a feeling that she was free from her lowly position.
“Yes, I’ll be obedient. When I go back tonight, I’ll serve you until you’re satisfied,” Shaun said ambiguously.
The phone by Cate’s ear made it seem like he was breathing into her ear, and she suddenly blushed while scolding, “You hoodlum. I’m ignoring you now.”
“I’m talking about giving you a massage.” Shaun sounded wronged. “What are you thinking of? Could it be…”
“Just die.” Cate hung up the phone.
Her face was as red as a baboon’s bottom. Turning to the side, she saw Elle with a smile on her face and felt even more embarrassed.
After eating, Kacey brought her the list of top executives to look through.
Cate glanced at it and focused on Rosabella’s post. General manager of the property development project.
She instantly sneered, realizing the truth behind how she almost died when she went to the construction site last time.
“Is there no one else in my company? Why is a novice without any experience taking up such an important position?”
Cate said unpleasantly, “When are the company executives coming over? I want to have a good chat with them.”
Kacey saw her thoughts and hesitated before saying, “They went out for lunch with the Cox father and daughter.”
Cate’s pretty face instantly darkened.
She had just taken over as chairwoman, but not only did the senior executives not pay her a visit, but they even went out for lunch with Jefferey. It was clear that they did not take her seriously at all.
“Tell me about General Manager Chaplin.”
Kacey nodded. “General Manager Chaplin has held an important position in the company for ten years. During his tenure, he increased the company’s profits by 10%, and the shareholders are very satisfied with him. If… If Chairman Cox wants to fire him, I’m afraid it’ll cause strong dissatisfaction among the shareholders.”
“Alright, I understand. You can go out first.”
Cate fell silent.
Next, she went to inspect the major departments of the company.
Even until late evening, none of the senior management had come over.
When it was dark, Cate said to Elle, “Do me a favor and hire a private detective. I want to find out about something.”
…
7:00 p.m.
Cate went back to the villa with a pile of documents in her hands.
Shaun sat in the living room wearing casual clothes with his arms crossed. He looked like a big shot, listening to Hadley as he reported something to him respectfully from the side.
Cate changed her shoes and went inside. Shaun turned around, and his delicate lips curved downward. “Chairwoman Cox is finally willing to come back.”
“I’ve been working overtime at the company. Have you eaten?” Cate saw his displeasure and explained helplessly.
Shaun pursed his lips but did not speak. Aunty Linda came out to explain, “Young Master Lyons doesn’t like the food I make. He wants the food you cook.”
Cate sighed speechlessly. She sat beside him tiredly and leaned on his shoulder. “I’m tired after working all day and don’t want to move. My mind is spent too. Aunty Linda’s cooking is similar to mine, so just try it.”
“Why, did things not go well?” Shaun turned to look at her. Her hair brushed against the top of his nose, making him smell a faint fragrance.
“Mmh, those high-level executives don’t take me seriously at all. There are still hard battles to fight.” The more Cate spoke, the more she sank into the feeling of leaning against him. It was peaceful not having to think about anything.
Shaun frowned before saying to Hadley, “Go to the company tomorrow and help her tidy things up. Make sure they become obedient within the day.”
“Understood,” Hadley immediately answered. He was the assistant of the top millionaire of the country. This much was a piece of cake.
However, Cate hurriedly said, “No. Although Hadley is usually very capable, he’s just your assistant and doesn’t know anything about the company. He’ll be eaten by that gang of people until not even his bones will remain.
Hadley, who had always only eaten people so that none of their bones remained, “…”
This was the best joke he heard all year.
“I appreciate your good intentions,” Cate said sincerely, “I also found the reason why you were injured at the construction site last time. I’ll definitely take revenge for you.”
“…Fine. My woman is really capable.” Shaun rubbed her hair. “You’re hungry, so go eat.”
“What about you?”
“I’m fine.”
Cate watched him fixedly for a while. There was no helping it. She had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook something for him to eat.
Hadley watched her figure disappear before continuing, “In a few days, Willie Lyons will be visiting Melbourne. The forces here already know about it. I’m afraid it’ll cause a commotion.”
“He’s just a piece of trash. Only a place like this will treat him like a treasure,” Shaun sneered.
“Do you want to arrange a meeting?” Hadley asked.
“No. He doesn’t deserve it yet.”
Shaun stood up. “It’s getting late. Go back.”
Hadley and Elle both left.
Shaun walked into the kitchen with his hands in his pockets.
Cate was wearing a professional suit and exuded a clear, sharp aura, but at that moment, she was cooking dumplings for him in an apron. The warm kitchen lamp shone on her head, giving all men an urge to conquer her.
He walked over and hugged her gently from behind, resting his chin on her head. “Cook more. Those dumplings won’t be enough to satisfy me.”
“It’s good enough that I’m cooking for you.” Cate elbowed his chest mercilessly. “If you want to eat, then go cut the ingredients yourself.”
Shaun seemed to have heard something unbelievable. “You dare to order me around?”
Cate thought about it before taking a card from her pocket and handing it over.
“What’s this?”
“There’s 500 million in it. It’s the fee for the lawsuit you took up for me before…”
Cate had not finished speaking when she felt a cold and suffocating aura. Shaun’s eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, causing frostbite.
