When they drove past a pharmacy, Lisa got Uncle Li to park the car by the side and get some ointment.

The handprint on Jennie's face had already faded, but her cheek was still red and swollen.

Lisa applied it on her face and rubbed it gently.

Jennie was very fair, so the redness was even more obvious.

Lisa's expression darkened as he observed the swell.

At the Manoban Corporation.

After Uncle Li had parked the car, he walked over to open the door to the backseat.

Jennie was still sound asleep against Lisa. Just as Uncle Li was considering whether to wake her up, he saw his Young Master carrying her out of the car.

"Let's go." With that, Lisa walked towards the elevator with Jennie in his arms.

Uncle Li was slightly stunned before realizing he was to catch up.

Young Master is way too nice to the Young Madam.

He actually dropped everything at hand to support her just because he was worried someone would bully her.

Time is money for the Young Master.

The amount of time he spends outside the office costs him a good amount of money.

And now, in order not to wake Young Madam up, he's going to carry her to the office?!

Won't the other employees be shaken by this?

.................

Lisa took the special elevator meant for him.

It took him from the car park straight to his office on the top floor.

They got past the bulk of the employees in the first-floor main lounge, but there were still a few male and female secretaries on that floor. All the secretaries were shocked when they saw Chairman Manoban walking out of the elevator carrying a woman.

They were so stunned that they forgot to greet him right away.

It was only when Lisa was walking past them did they politely greet. "Chairman Manoban"

Lisa's brows furrowed right away.

The secretaries were startled by his reaction.

They thought that Chairman Manobanwas angry because their greeting was late. They were just about to apologize when he turned around and glanced at them, saying softly, "Softer, don't wake her up."

The secretaries were confused.

Chairman Manoban wasn't upset because they almost forgot to greet him?

But because he didn't want them to wake that "mysterious woman" up with their greeting?

Their jaws dropped.

Who was this goddess?

And how was she able to have Chairman Manoban pamper her this way?

Two of the female secretaries looked up and tried to catch a glance of that woman's appearance. But besides her lush black hair, they couldn't see anything else.

Her face was buried in Lisa's chest.

But they could see that she was very fair, so fair that her skin had a cool undertone.

Before they could catch another glimpse, Chairman Manoban had carried her into the Chairman's office.

Once the door to his office was closed, everyone began discussing.

"Did my eyes play tricks on me? Chairman Manoban was carrying a woman?"

"No, you're right. It was a woman. We all saw it."

"Doesn't Chairman Manoban stay away from all women? Where did she come from!"

"Why must that be a woman? I'd rather Chairman Manoban go for a man than have a normal biological inclination."

"Exactly. It'd be better if he liked men. At least if he did, all women would not stand a chance at all. We wouldn't be so upset if we knew that no other woman could get a man like him."

"I always thought that Chairman Manoban's only flaw was his unusual inclination. But now that he can be normal in that way too... Gosh, my heart aches just thinking about this perfect man being someone else's husband."

"Heartache +1"

"Heartache +2"

"Heartache +3"

.................

Lisa carried Jennie into the lounge in the Chairman's office. This was where he usually rested when he was too busy at work.

There were a little bedroom and a washroom.

He placed her on the bed gently and covered her with a blanket. He then adjusted the temperature of the air-conditioner before going out.

There were a lot of documents piled on his desk. Lisa sat at his desk and began flipping the documents.

He received an internal call.

Receiving it, he was immediately greeted with a polite "Chairman Manoban".

Lisa tapped his fingers against the desk lightly and said, "Come on in for a while. Don't knock on the door, just enter."

"Yes, Chairman Manoban"

A minute later.

Jackson came into his office. He walked towards Lisa and greeted him again.

"Chairman Manoban"

Lisa looked like he was thinking hard about something.

A moment later, he looked Jackson in the eye.

"I want the revenue report of the Kim Firm over the recent years. Send them to me in an hour. Also, find a way to acquire the Kim family's villa along Feng Shan."

Jackson was taken aback.

Kim Firm?

Was Chairman Manoban referring to Young Madam's family business?

Why was Chairman Manoban suddenly interested in the Kims' business all of a sudden?

Was he trying to help the firm out on Young Madam's account?

Jackson didn't know much about the Kim Firm, but based on his impression, it wasn't very outstanding.

A few years ago, they almost went bankrupt.

He guessed that their revenue couldn't be that great. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a state currently.

But Chairman Manoban also mentioned something about acquiring their villa?!

Jackson suddenly felt that Chairman Manoban wasn't actually intending to help them out. Worried that he was misunderstanding Chairman Manoban's intentions, he had to ask, "Chairman Manoban, are you saying you want to buy over Young Madam's family villa? But the Kim family has been living there all this while. Also, they aren't really cash-strapped now. I doubt they will let it out."

"That's why I said to find a way."

Lisa glanced at him coldly and said, "Whether the Kim family is willing to let it out or not, I definitely want that villa. Get someone to negotiate the price with them first. If they're still unwilling to sell it, then do what it takes. If you can't even settle that villa, you can resign soon."

Jackson was left speechless.

He was going to get it done right away!

Chairman Manoban was really overboard.

He was always threatening him with a pink slip.
