That afternoon, Merry was forcibly dragged back by Chris at around five o'clock.
Before leaving, Lilia stood near the hall looking at Chris, who was holding Merry in one hand, and said softly, "Brother, please send Merry home before eight o'clock. She just returned to Indonesia today, I'm afraid she's pushing herself because of the time difference."
After that, Lilia looked at Merry's face.
No matter how energetic the little girl was, she definitely couldn't help but feel sleepy at the moment.
Hearing her voice, Chris looked at Merry who kept blinking. "Don't worry, I will bring her back in a moment, I also want to discuss something with her father."
Lilia nodded. "Be careful on the road."
Merry's arm was locked by Chris so she couldn't run anymore. After feeling unable to fight back, she sighed and said to Lilia, "Sis, wait for me in two more days, I will return to your side!"
She was still thinking about becoming Lilia's assistant.
Lilia smiled and didn't say anything.
The little girl probably didn't know that her future career plans had been arranged by the man who was capturing her.
But in this matter, we will have to wait some time before telling her.
...
After saying goodbye to Chris and Merry, Lilia stood until the car left.
She smiled serenely, and as soon as she turned around, she met Jean coming down the stairs.
"Are they gone?"
Lilia nodded, walked up to him and asked, "Do you think Samuel will let Merry be Chris' assistant?
This idea came from Chris himself.
He knew that the little girl wanted to continue being Lilia's assistant, but now the situation was different. After Merry returns to Indonesia, many initiatives will be in Chris' hands.
This was also the reason why Chris was so eager to bring Lilia into his company at such a high price.
His goal was nothing more than bringing Merry closer to him.
At this time, the man stepped forward and put his hand on Lilia's shoulder, squeezed it slightly, and said, "If it's Chris who comes forward, it's very likely for Samuel to agree."
Hearing this, Lilia shook her head and chuckled. "I really don't know if Samuel will be angry after he finds out the truth!"
Jean hugged her and walked into the living room, but didn't say anything.
Judging from Chris and Samuel's identities, this might be a story about 'I have treated you as a brother, but allow me to marry your daughter'.
As for Samuel's response, everyone was looking forward to it.
...
Half an hour later, Merry was sent back to her house.
She was probably too sleepy, and the little girl was yawning all the time while sitting in the car.
After waiting for the car to arrive at her house, she actually fell asleep.
Chris unbuckled her seat belt and looked at her peaceful sleeping face.
Due to moving too much today, Merry was a little calmer in her sleep.
Chris stared at her for a while. Instead of getting out of the car, he looked into the distance towards the window with a serious expression.
A few minutes later, Chris sighed slowly, walked to the front of the car after getting out of the car, bent down and carefully carried Merry out.
Then, as soon as he turned around, he saw Samuel who happened to pass by the veranda.
The two friends looked at each other from a distance, and Chris's heart quivering with his guilty conscience.
After a few seconds of silence, Chris caught his breath and walked in front of Samuel with Merry, and said in a low voice, "She overslept!"
Samuel squinted at Merry, who was sleeping soundly, and furrowed his brows. "This child is not sitting at home, she keeps wandering around and she just came home to sleep!"
Chris swallowed his saliva and said to Samuel, "I have something to discuss with you!"
"Okay, let's just go to my room, put Merry on the sofa."
Samuel then walked towards his study on the right side of the hall.
After seeing this, Chris didn't respond. He looked at Merry in his arms, smacked the corner of his mouth, and stepped up to the second floor.
Putting this little girl on the couch and letting the maids carry her upstairs? How could that be!
At this moment, Samuel didn't notice any movement behind him. After walking a few steps, he said, "Has your father been humiliating you again recently?"
There was silence all around.
Samuel stood still and turned around suspiciously, only to realize that Chris wasn't behind him.
Where's that bastard?!
Samuel sighed and shook his head, he walked into his study with his hands behind his back. Then he sat down and lit a cigar, waiting for Chris while smoking.
After five minutes, Chris entered the room.
Samuel was still holding the cigar and pointed at the sofa next to him. "You spoil Merry too much, and if you continue like this, she will definitely want to be spoiled by you more in the future."
Chris coughed lightly, walked over to the sofa and sat down. After that, he took the cigarette case that was on the table and lit it. "No, she's just a little more energetic. Didn't Jean say that it was a good thing?"
"Huh? Energetic? She's 22 years old but she still acts like a child, what do you want her to be in the future?"
Even though Samuel was serious about Merry, he was really worried about her future.
Hearing this, Chris put his ankle on the knee of his left leg and shook his toes. "She is still too young, what do you want her to achieve? As long as she is happy, let her walk on her own."
Samuel took a bite of the cigar and pointed at Chris, his eyes filled with disapproval.
Samuel didn't want to continue this topic. He took a sip of his cigar and spat out white smoke. He asked in a faint tone, "What do you want to talk about?"
Chris licked the corners of his mouth and held his cigarette again. He hesitated for three seconds before suggesting, "Since you are worried about Merry, why not let her follow me in the future?"
"Follow you?" Samuel didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.
As long as the pot was still hot, Chris quickly explained, "Nowadays, the entertainment business is getting bigger and my company is growing too. I see that she likes this business because she used to be Lilia's assistant."
"why not let her be my assistant then? That way, she can learn how the company operates better and you won't have to worry about her running around and causing trouble!"
Hearing this, Samuel sneered and shook his head again without any hesitation. "What qualifications does she have that she can become your assistant? Your words do make sense, but as a company leader, your assistant should be a more competent and tenacious person, whereas my daughter is nowhere near that."
Samuel refuses completely!
Although his words belittled Merry, as a member of a big family in Surabaya, Chris got the responsibility for his company, namely Gaia.
"Sam, you underestimate Merry too much!" Chris was still trying to persuade Samuel. "Now I have two executive secretaries and an assistant. Recently, I just opened an assistant position vacancy."
"Merry is a foreign graduate, I think her life experience there will help me get to know western culture which is different from ours.. What's more, if we don't give her a chance, how will we know the outcome? As her boss, I will not allow her to do anything that might harm anyone."
