The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 222

“Yes, Director. I am already reviewing the details pertaining the quality of the cloth.”

October’s calm yet cold voice rang inside the spacious room in her office. At the same time, she had her eyes glued on the monitor of her laptop and the rapid typing of her fingers as she wrote her report.

“Good. However, the quantity you had suggested regarding this cloth is a bit small, don’t you think? I think that we need increase this by about three percent.” Director Sheng’s voice sounded from the earpiece of October. He sounded confident and stoic. He was not his in his usual carefree nature. For him, work is work. When it’s to discuss about the matter that concerns the company, then he would morphed into that of a strict superior who sternly oversees his subordinates.

October paused what she was typing and weighed the pros and cons of the change of the percentage that she wanted to request.

“The fabric is still in the early stages of it’s development. With that, the output of the fabric is still not on par with the ideal quantity that could be distributed and exported to other countries. Also, although there are great feedbacks with the Asian countries, it is not yet known to other countries in the Western countries. These are two of the reasons why I have only requested the quantity. However, I will ask my team to re-evaluate this and see if what you have suggested is feasible. Thank you for this suggestion, director.”

Director Sheng nodded his head in agreement. “Yes. That would be ideal.”

Then their call ended.

October pulled her earpiece from her slightly throbbing ear. Her brows furrowed together to show her dislike in using the earpiece but this quickly faded the more she concentrated in her typing.

After a while, she called for Yun Xixi to get the the doc.u.ments from her office to the production team. Fortunately, her secretary was quick in her steps and did not take long before the doc.u.ments to be re-evaluated and revised be forwarded back to the Material Department.

After an eternity of nonstop reading, assessing, analyzing, and typing, October had finally finished the work that was dumped into their department. To think that there would come a day that she would be working on behalf of the assistant director of that department due to some emergency at home.

Suddenly, a knock was heard on her door, followed by Yun Xixi’s quiet voice.

“Director, do you want to have a cup of coffee?” Yun Xixi asked her boss who did not look at her. Judging by the pace of her boss and the pale complexion of her face, it was easy to tell that her boss was utterly exhausted.

But despite the tired look on October, Yun Xixi’s little heart was pounding loudly in her c.h.e.s.t and her eyes sparkled in marvel at the delightful scene before her.

October, with her eyes still closed, answered her secretary, “No, I can’t drink those yet. I’d like to have some lemonade please.”

“…yes, of course. I’ll be right back, director.” Yun Xixi was slightly skeptical as to why her boss would say something like that. Wasn’t her boss a total coffiholic? Why can’t she drink those? Why the change of preference?

Peace and tranquility descended in October’s office yet again. Yet it seemed like her little peace was disturbed yet again when her phone rang. Listlessly put her earpiece back into her ear, she answered the call with her eyes still closed.

“Wifey, is there something you wanted…liked to eat at this moment?” Lexus’ voice deep and cold voice resounded in October’s ear, jolting her to snap her eyes open.

“Why?” She asked back, not sure where he was getting to.

Lexus’ voice sounded with a trace of excitement and eagerness to do anything for his wife, “My department heads said that at the early stages, pregnant women tend to crave for some food.”

“…”

“So, tell me if you wanted to eat something. I’ll let Xi deliver it to you personally.” Lexus’ overbearingly said.

He had rounded his directors yet again early in the morning to ask them about what would his pregnant wife feel and other peculiarities during this period. He was very serious while he asked them. It was a feeling as if the directors were interrogated in the interrogation room and that if he does not like what they answered, they would be tortured to death.

“None.” She curtly replied.

Lexus, having noticed her replies so consice and seemed out of energy like she usually has, he became worried and panic formed in him. He had the urge to go to his wife’s side and took care of her. Knowing that she was far from him, doing a lot of stressful work, he was really frustrated.

“You seemed tired.”

What came out of Lexus was not a question but a statement. He knew already that October was worn out.

“What happened?”

October opened her eyes slowly and just stared at the empty white ceiling.

“Work.”

“Okay. I won’t ask you further about that. But there’s something I want you to explain to me.” Lexus’ voice suddenly dropped to zero degrees that even October can feel the coldness that travelled around her. From this alone was enough to deduce that the matter that he was going to tell him was something he did not like at all.

‘What could it be?’ October became more attentive than usual as her eyes that was ina daze were now calm and sharp.

“Why did you not tell me?” This was what Lexus asked. His voice was grave. It was clear that he had on a scowl on his devilishly handsome face.

October raised her brow at this. She was confused. She does not know that Lexus was talking about. Only after a moment of silence, she finally opened her mouth to ask.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” It was true that she does not know how to answer that.

“If I was not informed by Xi about what happened, I wouldn’t have known about it.”

Amus.e.m.e.nt flashed across October’s usually calm eyes. ‘Is he sulking right now? He is, right?’

Lexus frowned and his face darkened even more. He really does not know why his wife did not tell him about what happened that Saturday morning. When he heard about it, he almost smashed his phone with his b.a.r.e hands.

He could not believe that he let that little insignificant employee bully his, Lexus Song’s, wife.

“…” October was really baffled by this and so did not know what to say.

Lexus pursed his lips slightly before parting his lips. But his words that seemed so easy to come out of his lips was the words that sealed the fate of one single person who does not know who the person she should never offend in this lifetime.
