Melody Zachary was unaware that Mia Foster had already left. After preparing breakfast and seeing only her son come out of the bedroom, she couldn’t help but scold him again.
She said her son was such a disappointment, with such a great opportunity last night, he still didn’t manage to please his wife...
Regarding his mother’s reproach, Felix Shaw felt helpless as well. He didn’t know what Mia Foster was thinking; he had already tried to make peace, but she still refused to forgive.
After breakfast, he went to the company for work as usual. During the morning meeting, seeing Vanessa Armstrong with a secretary helping her carry materials made Felix Shaw very displeased.
A nominal shareholder, she had no real power in the company, yet she knew how to flaunt authority.
After the meeting ended, Vanessa Armstrong had her secretary take her materials back to the office, but she herself followed Oliver Shaw to the president’s office.
As soon as the door closed, she sweetly called out "Husband～," then wrapped her arms around Oliver Shaw’s neck.
"What are you doing, this is the company, not home." Oliver Shaw chided helplessly, but Vanessa Armstrong didn’t care, "What’s there to be afraid of, there’s no one else around."
"Speak, what do you want?"
Oliver Shaw sat down on the sofa, and Vanessa Armstrong took the opportunity to sit on his lap, acting childishly, "Husband, you understand me," continuing to act cutesy under Oliver Shaw’s helpless gaze, "Husband, I want an assistant too."
Oliver Shaw was even more helpless, "Why do you need an assistant? You don’t need to work."
"It’s precisely because there’s nothing to do that I want an assistant. I’ve been taking care of Seraphina at home for years and know nothing about business matters. I can’t help you with anything. I’m thinking, it would be good to have an assistant teach me some work stuff, so you won’t be so exhausted in the future."
"I understand your heart," Oliver Shaw affectionately pinched Vanessa Armstrong’s nose, "Felix helps with work matters; you should just enjoy being Madam Shaw!"
"It’s because Felix helps that I need to learn some skills." Vanessa Armstrong sulked, "You’re so old now; retirement is sooner or later. When the company is under Felix’s management, won’t he kick me, the useless one, out?"
"Let him kick you out; when I retire, you don’t need to come to the company anymore. By then, we can relax by taking Seraphina on trips and vacations."
"No way!" Vanessa Armstrong stubbornly insisted, "Even though I didn’t graduate from a prestigious university, I have my own dreams. Seeing those strong women on TV who don’t rely on men and can support themselves makes me envious."
Vanessa Armstrong’s words elicited an amused laugh from Oliver Shaw, who playfully poked her forehead and said, "You, wanting to be a strong woman? Even if you do nothing, the shares of the company you hold in your hands can ensure lifelong comfort for you and Seraphina!"
"Please Husband, I also want an assistant..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll assign one to you tomorrow," Oliver Shaw agreed, unable to resist Vanessa Armstrong’s acting spoiled, which made her beam with joy, and she immediately said, "No need for you to assign one, I’ve already picked someone."
"Who?"
"Someone from the PR department, Xiao Qian, young, ambitious, and capable."
"Okay, I’ll transfer them to be your assistant tomorrow."
"Husband, I want them now..."
"Fine, fine, I’ll notify HR to transfer them over,"
"Husband, you’re wonderful, mwah～" Vanessa Armstrong happily kissed Oliver Shaw twice on the lips.
