The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 254

After the day that Peizhi had took the position as President and CEO of the Halo Company, October’s work had significantly increased. But being someone who was equally stubborn and does not want to be looked down upon or show any weakness in front of Peizhi, October worked on it neatly and timely. There was no work she had done that needed to be rechecked or needed to be sent back for revision. Her work was so flawless that Peizhi could not help but only to swallow his annoyance at how amazing of an employee October was.

“How are you faring? Is your work okay?” Lexus asked while hugging October while watching a random show on TV in their living room. He was really troubled about how October was doing while seeing that bstard in her work. Was she stressed? He hoped not.

“Is that man making trouble to you? Do you…” Lexus paused, hesitant. “Do you want to take a leave? Take an early maternity leave.”

October shrugged her shoulders, showing her indifference about her situation at work. “No, there’s no need for that. I am alright. I can take care of myself.”

Although work was more than it should be that some work was even not for her to do, she did it still without complain. It was not that easy. It was also a good thing that her focus and sharp mind did not fail her one bit.

She sank more deeper into his embrace and felt at peace, her body, heart, and soul.

Lexus looked at October but could not see her face. Even though she said that, the worry he had was not something he could not ignore. And in a few days’ time, something will happen to October that nearly made Lexus go into a rampage.

The next day, October was alone in her office. It was too silent even if there were some tapping in the keyboard and an occasional swishing sounds from the papers. October had lost track of time and had skipped her lunch.

If Yun Xixi was here, she would have already knocked on the door of her office to remind her for lunch but that secretary of hers was also out to deal with something so important that she did not even tell October what it was. There’s really was no one that could remind October as she drowned in her work deeper and deeper.

*Clack*

October let out a loud breath and rubbed the back of her neck. She leaned her back on her chair and closed her eyes before massaging her aching temple.

“I might have overdone it this time.” She said to herself with a small smile on her lips.

At this time, her phone rang. October did not chose to answer it but it the caller was stubborn and would not just let her have a rest.

“Yes?” She answered, her voice weak and soft, almost a whisper.

“Wifey, are you okay?” Lexus asked anxiously, standing from his seat in the process. His actions were too abrupt that it almost knocked over on the floor. But that was not important because his wife was more important to him than just a mere chair. “Talk to me. Are you hurting somewhere?”

“No, I’m fine. You’re overreacting.” October shook her head but soon regretted it as she became more dizzy. She grinded her teeth in order not to let out a groan. She opened her eyes and slowly got up to put the finished papers on the rack for finished doc.u.ments.

“Uh…!” October found no strength to support her weight and had begun to wobble while losing her balance. Her world begun to spin and dark spots started to dot on her vision.

Lexus became more alarmed when he heard something clatter on the other side of the phone. There was a gasp too and the sound of papers swishing and dropping on the floor. Anxiety immediately swallowed his heart as he darted out of his office to get to where October was.

“October, talk to me. Please!” Lexus gritted his teeth in frustration and worry. His blood run cold and sweat drenched the back of his shirt as he sprinted toward the elevator in a hurry with Assistant Yu following behind.

October slammed her hand on the corner of her table to support herself but it was useless. She can hear Lexus’ anxious voice blaring on the phone but she could not make out what he was saying. Then, her phone dropped as was October slowly dropped on the floor, losing her consciousness.

“October. Berry! Berry!” Lexus shouted in panic as he viciously punched the button for the bas.e.m.e.nt parking. “C’mon. Dmn it! Fck!”

Seeing the uneasy and nervous Lexus, Assistant Yu pursed his lips and did not say anything. There was only one person who can influence his young master’s emotions like this and that was his young madam, October.

‘Surely, something bad must have happened to the young madam. I just hope that she’s okay.’ Assistant Yu silently hoped in his heart. If someone was behind this, then Assistant Yu can only say ‘That’s what you get for messing with wife of Lexus Song. You had that coming.’

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lexus darted out to get into his car. He instantly climbed in with Assistant Yu quickly and stealthily climbing in too in order to not be left behind.

“Wife, just say a word. Just one word, please.” Lexus said with a pleading tone almost as if he was about to cry. Still not getting an answer from October, he slammed his free hand on the wheel in frustration. He started the car and zoomed out at fast speed.

It did not take long for him to arrive in front of the Halo Company with a dark and contorted face. He did not wait for anyone as he sprinted inside not caring about his image or the strange and surprised looks of the people. He run past the security and went into the elevator.

“Oh? Why is he here?” Peizhi smirked while sitting comfortably in his office. He looked at his young secretary with interest. He did not expect that Lexus would come running here. Was his son-in-law going to visit him, even curry favor at him now that he owned this company?

The more Peizhi thought about it, the more stretched his smile was on his face. He was starting to think of ways on how he should let that disrespectful bstard who ruined his company. He was getting excited about it.

And then a knock came with another man walking in with a hurried look, saying, “The CEO of Heaven Company barged in and went directly into Assistant Director Park’s office.”

Peizhi almost choked in his blood. He had just got himself slapped on the face. Then, his face contorted in anger and embarrassment.

“What?” Peizhi slammed his hands on his table and stood up. “How dare he just barge into my company so brazenly? Does he see my company as his?!”

‘Your company? You’re talking as if you really owned this when you had also just barged in and proclaimed yourself as the owner of the company.’ The people who heard this thought. They bit their tongue to hold back from speaking this out loud.

“Let’s go. I want to see this shameless man.” Peizhi said and hurriedly went out.
