The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 252

“Master Park, is there anything I can do for you?” October asked, emotions and expressions grown numb as soon as his voice was heard on the other line of the phone. Although her voice was flat as it could be, the slight anger in her voice leaked.

However, Peizhi did not realize this at all. He walked around the President’s office with a brilliant smile on his face. Rather, this was HIS office now. His eyes glowed while scanning the spacious and luxurious office.

“Can’t I just call my daughter to see how she is?”

October pursed her lips. “If you don’t have anything important to say, I’ll hang up the phone.”

‘What an impertinent daughter. She’s really not giving me face.’ He thought while grinding his teeth. Still, he was the more m.a.t.u.r.e one so he has to control his temper and simmer it down a little to talk more intimately with his daughter.

And when he say “intimately,” that was about his own company and talk through it to see if October could help him out in solving the problem. Though if she would still be stubborn and not give him face, he could also pull some strings and get funds from the Halo Company to invest in his company.

Peizhi forced a smile on his face even though his eyes were cold and sharp.

“Hmph. Is this how you treat your father and your superior?”

“…” October tightened the grip on the phone as she fell silent for a moment before opening it to reply, “My father is already dead.”

She said in an as-a-matter-in-fact tone. Her eyes looked dead, almost lifeless. It was more evident in her tone that was as dry as the Atacama Desert yet as cold as the Antarctic.

“You-! Are cursing me? Your father?”

“Let’s skip the unnecessary things, shall we?” October did not want to listen to his antics anymore for it only hurts her ears and wastes her time.

“And regarding the superior, I don’t see any change in the company. Even without contact with the President and CEO of the company, or the person that acted as the middleman of us the employees and the mysterious head of the company, it is still functioning quite well. However, I don’t think I have to explain more about this, right.”

Peizhi’s veins popped on his head and pulsated dangerously as if it was about to explode. He was really sure now that October did not see him as her father anymore. Also, she was obviously trying to anger him to death.

He tried to breath in and out to calm his nerves and chaotic mind albeit shaky yet it did little to him. He was still breathing heavily as his blood boiled and rushed to his head.

“Are you saying that I am in a position that does not have any power?” He said through gritted teeth. His hands balled into fists until it turned white and blue.

“I did not say anything about that.” October said nonchalantly and glanced at her monitor, clearly not listening seriously at Peizhi’s words and threatening tone.

It was just as Peizhi had said, October did mean that but won’t tell it or admit to it directly. At least, Peizhi was not too stupid to not read between the lines.

“No matter. I am the President and CEO of this company. I am this company’s law. I am the boss. I am your boss.” He hissed with a warning tone and glared at a distance as if he was looking at October directly.

Clearly, his threats did not took any effect on October as she merely brushed it off with her eyes reading on the monitor. “If you don’t have anything important to say to me, President, I would like to continue my work that have already piled up on my table.”

In other words, “go away and don’t disturb my work.”

October did not make any effort hiding her animosity anymore and just ended the phone right there and then. She had already done this a couple of times now, almost like a habbit but she did not realize this or think about it much.

Her temper had also been quite short, even her patience. She also gets emotional more than she had even had, which was unlike her. Then she also felt like she wanted to sleep more than usual and food, from vegetables to fruits and even desserts would randomly pop up in her mind.

Peizhi looked at the wireless handset with disbelief before it turned into fury. His grip on it tightened and shook as the urge of throwing it hard on the wall came into mind. Good thing that he still had retained his control over his emotions as he thought against it and only slammed it back into the holder.

‘You ungrateful brat.’ He cursed. ‘You don’t see me as your father. Fine. I’ll not acknowledge you as my daughter and will only regard you as my employee…no, as my enemy. You had already humiliated me countless times and had even giving me a lot of trouble.’

It was not sure if he remembered it or not, but Peizhi had already said before that he would not regard October as his daughter anymore and had even evicted her out of her own house in order for him to welcome his new “wife” into his house. Reason? He was furious that October did not accept Fu Yung to enter their family.

“You there! Tell me all of Lanna’s work, her schedule and all the projects that she was involved with. I want to know all of it.” He looked at the young man, a new employee in the company, with a dark and furious look on his face. If October was still living with him at the Park residence, he was very much sure that he would definitely lash out at her.

He was so furious that he nowhere to vent it to me. His eyes then locked with the vase sitting silently on the side. He grabbed it and viciously smashed it hard on the floor. Pieces of the broken vase flew in all direction and he did not care. He just want to release his pent-pup anger and the vase was the first one that caught his eyes that seemed unapealling and inexpensive.

But that’s where he was wrong. In the whole expensive and extavagant interior of the office, this vase which he thought was cheap was actually the most expensive thing in the office that roughly cost more than a million dollars which was said to be the only thing that the owner of the comapny put in the company.

“Clean this for me.” He said that with a turn of his head and headed on to sit on his chair.

“I would like to remind you that the things in this office belonged to the owner of the company. Hence, please don’t touch things in this room.” He said with a warning tone in his voice while looking very displeased at Peizhi’s unbecoming behavior of a grown man. If he knew that this kind of man would take over, he would rather give the company to October without question.

“Hmph! May I remind you that I am already the owner of this company, the President and CEO. Automatically, these things here are mine now so I can do what I want.” Peizhi’s eyes squinted dangerously at the old man before him. “Are you saying that you don’t acknowledge me?”

“…” The old man did answer this but his silence only made it obvious to Peizhi of what it meant. And then the old man dodged the question by saying yet another bizaarre thing that almost made Peizhi vomit blood and cause himself internal injuries.

“Also, please pay for the vase you had just smashed.”

Peizhi was again angered for the nth time. He did not expect that he would meet a lot of people that did not show an ounce of respect to him and had even went to cause him to fly into fury.

“That’s just a cheap vase. Only a few thousand, I can pay for that.” He said, sounding arrogant as if money did not matter to him.

The old man nodded his head as a mocking smile crossed his lips and a flash of ridicule was on his wisened eyes. “Good. I’m glad that Master Park agrees to this. I will definitely send a receipt for this since the amount is not small.”

“…what do you mean by “not small?” Are you saying that it is I could not afford it?” He roared. ‘Is this old man looking down on me? Just a few thousand dollars, I can pay that even with my own cash in my wallet.’

“No, not at all. I know that a few million dollars is easy for you to pay.”

‘A million dollars? Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight?’
