I sat back in my chair, my fingers drumming a rhythmic beat on the tabletop. With my left hand, I picked up my phone and sent a quick WeChat message: *Put the Li deal on hold.*
After sending it, I deleted the chat history and threw myself back into work.
Evelyn didn't come to trouble me again that night, but her voice echoed through the thousand-square-meter villa. With that kind of vocal projection, it was a pity she wasn't an opera singer.
Early the next morning, after preparing breakfast, I left for the Group ahead of them. Lucas and Evelyn sat at the dining table, feeding each other and sharing intimate kisses between bites.
"Lucas, I just got back to the country and I'm bored. Can I work at the Dickerson Group?"
Evelyn asked suddenly.
Lucas froze for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. I'll have Daniela arrange it for you."
"Will my position be lower than Daniela's?" Her eyes went wide.
"Daniela is the CEO." Lucas frowned slightly. "Unless you want the Chairman's seat, it will definitely be lower than hers."
"Am I going to be beneath her again?"
