"That..." Kenny didn't really understand, so he chose to remain silent.
Jean took his cigarette case from the table and pulled out one elegantly. Then he threw his cigarette box at Kenny as he squinted and asked, "How much do you know about Oliver?"
Kenny deftly caught the cigarette case, and as soon as he caught it in his hand, he bluntly said, "I don't know much, everything I know is the same on a resume."
"Then look for a chance to get acquainted with him!" The man's tone was full of meaning, making Kenny paused from lighting his cigarette for a moment.
He gripped the lighter tightly and frowned. "President, what do you mean ..."
Jean exhaled the mist from his lips, his cold eyes flashing across his assistant. "You are now the general manager of this company. People can understand that you want to bring good people into your hands."
Hearing this, Kenny thought about it and said, "You want me to contact him with the excuse of looking for skillful recruits while gathering evidence?"
"That's one of them! Our company lost the contract, that bastard was responsible for the loss. Once he's in our hands, we'll reveal the secrets of Galaxy Real Estate! But we can't do it unless we're willing to bet on it," Jean replied.
An idea then came to Kenny's mind after he heard Jean's answer. He nodded and lit his boss' cigarette. He didn't forget to gesture to the man with his thumb up and clap his hands hard. "An eye for an eye, that's so brilliant, sir!"
Jean didn't say anything in reply. Something prevented him from talking further and before he could change his topic, the man's cell phone rang on the table.
The content of the call was very simple. After listening to a sentence, his handsome face immediately turned serious.
"From now on, you are fully responsible for the affairs of this company!" Before Kenny finished smoking, he was kicked out of the office as his boss was about to leave.
Standing at the door with a cigarette in his hand, he wondered how to approach Oliver without getting suspected for his true intention.
At this time, the chief executive happened to come to the president's office to hand over the approval documents, he noticed Kenny standing and smoking casually in the office area then immediately gave a warning. "Smoking in the office area? A fine of 1 million!"
Kenny looked at his cigarette dumbfounded.
Of course, he forgot that the cigarette belonging to the president of this company could not be smoked just like that, they were really expensive!
...
When Jean rushed back to the hospital, he had just stepped into the ward area and found two of his bodyguards standing on guard.
They stood respectfully and lowered their heads. "Young master, welcome!"
"How long did the man stay earlier?"
One of the security guards answered, "Less than ten minutes."
Jean then narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Stay alert."
He got news that Alfred and Daniel had come to the hospital.
Driving from his company, Jean sped away quickly and arrived in less than 20 minutes.
After the man stood in place to calm his mood, he walked to the ward one step at a time.
Currently, Daniel had gone from there. When he pushed open the door and entered, Jean heard Mellisa and Lilia making a video call together.
When Lilia heard the door open, she turned her head and met the man's gaze. She immediately put her index finger to her mouth and gestured for him not to speak.
Grandpa Caleb was seen sadly patting his thigh on her phone screen. "Lilia dear, are you sick? Your forehead looks so swollen! Quickly tell me who organized the event, I will kill them!"
"Grandpa, I'm fine, I just bumped my forehead. Don't worry."
In the video call, almost all of the Mayer family were in front of the camera, including Janice who was looking at her with a worried expression.
Dennis immediately said, "Lilia, where is Jean? Has he been looking for the culprit? No matter who that person might be, the Mayer family will not spare anyone who dares to mess with you! This incident must be thoroughly investigated to the end and the perpetrator must be held accountable for the accident. No mercy for them!"
Lilia smiled and nodded. "Grandfather, uncle, if there is any news, I will tell you."
"Okay, take care of your health now. Don't work for the meantime. The entertainment industry is too unstable and there's no way to really guarantee your safety. I'm worried about you,"
Caleb continued to compare today's entertainment industry to his youth, his story was taking a long time before the video call was finally over.
After the call ended, Mellisa let out a sigh. Had they not made the video call earlier, the entire Mayer family would've boarded the plane to Surabaya directly.
When she thought about it, Mellisa was daydreaming and seeing Jean appearing in the ward, she subconsciously said. "Brother-in-law is back!"
Jean smiled at the call. 'Brother-in-law….'
After they finished the video call, Mellisa looked a bit nervous.
This seemed to be the first time she had addressed Jean as her brother-in-law in front of him. Mellisa glanced at the man and saw that his expression remained unchanged. Feeling a bit awkward, she hurriedly stood up. "I'll go out for a bit to smoke ..."
She was a brave woman indeed, she even dared to call Jean brother-in-law!
This man…. Mellisa had never heard of Jean being referred to as Lilia's husband even when they were with the Mayer Family.
Perhaps, grown adults and members of extended families were always extra careful in greeting.
After Mellisa left, Lilia turned around to straighten her pillow. After finding a comfortable position, she patted the side of the bed. "Have you finished work?"
The man walked forward, sat on the bed and hugged her. "Did Alfred come here ealier?"
Jean got straight to the point. Lilia was surprised at first, but then she answered, "Not long after you were gone, he came with Daniel and said that they met on the street by chance. Then I asked Daniel and he said the same thing."
Lilia couldn't help but explain what she knew, but she still didn't believe the "random encounter" those two told her earlier.
The more she knew Alfred, the more she found this man unpredictable.
Hearing that, her husband did not speak. He looked somewhere deep in thought.
After waiting for a while, Lilia didn't hear any answer from him.
She lifted her head and leaned on the man's shoulder while looking at him. "When can I leave the hospital?"
The man lowered his head, facing his wife's graceful and clear eyes. "Do you want to go home?"
"Yes," Lilia nodded earnestly. "My ankle doesn't hurt that much anymore and now I can't do any treatment, so I better go and rest at home."
She continued, "This way, you also don't have to come to the hospital every day! I'm afraid that if you stay here too long, you won't get enough rest. What do you think?"
The man seemed to be thinking about her suggestion. Seeing this, Lilia threw herself into his embrace again and said seriously, "Let's go home right away! I don't like to be here, I guess our child doesn't like it here either!"
Jean smiled as he popped his wife's cute nose. He then answered, "Okay, I'll discuss it with the doctor later."
"Then... Go now, I'll wait for your news." Lilia said, desperately urging Jean to come home.
The man laughed and kissed her forehead. The place where he kissed her was the obvious bump on her forehead.
He held her slender shoulders and kissed her eyebrows with his lips. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "How's your eyes?"
Lilia grabbed the man's shirt by his waist area with both hands and blinked. "It's okay. I rested my eyes all day long and they turned slightly yellow. But I don't know if that means it's almost healed or not?"
Yellow?
The man's heart tightened in an instant, this wasn't a good sign.
Her eyes surgery could no longer be delayed.
