The next morning, Jennie had woken up snuggled in a bundle of warmth . She noticed the night before that when she was falling asleep, she was engulfed with a source of warmth from the back . Out of habit, she ruffled her hair and turned over slightly to see that the man still had his eyes closed and was sleeping very peacefully .

She took a deep breath, rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, and after a while, she gently moved his hands that held her by the waist away . Then, she carefully got down from the bed .

For the past two days, he had been sleeping late and waking up early, so he was pretty worn out . Jennie took a look at the time by the bedside and realized that it was 6 . 30 a . m . on the dot, so she did not wake him up .

After she washed up, she walked downstairs to make breakfast .

When it came to breakfast, Jennie's culinary skills were so-so . She did not know how to make that much . All those Western breakfasts or whatnot were too complicated and she had no idea know how to prepare all those .

She only knew how to cook porridge and fry some eggs or cook some simple salted vegetables .

When she was done preparing breakfast, it was past 7 a . m . By the time she returned to the bedroom and wanted to wake Lisa up, the man had already made the bed and was about to go downstairs . He saw Jennie fidgeting in front of the wardrobe, so he reached out to pick a light beige spring outfit out for her .

"This one . "

"This one? Is it suitable?"

Jennie took it and tried to see how it looked on her . She noticed that he had dressed as usual that day in a silver-grey casual suit .

Lisa took a look at her gaunt body and nodded gently .

"Actually, I quite like this color too . This is it then . " Jennie was quite straightforward as she picked the clothes up and walked towards the bathroom .

A while after that, she changed and walked downstairs . Lisa was already sitting relaxed by the dining table, reading the newspapers as he ate his breakfast .

Jennie, who was having her porridge, suddenly looked up at him and asked softly, "Have you prepared everything?"

"Ryujin has already prepared them yesterday and put them in the car . Anyway, they don't care about those things, so you don't have to be nervous . The ones that should be nervous are them . Plus, with me around, what are you so worried about?" Lisa did not even look up as he said plainly .

"Who says I'm nervous? I'm not . If there's anything that's inappropriate, you'll be the embarrassed one," Jennie replied a little sulkily .

Lisa looked up at her, the smile on his face a little freaky . "If you really think so, then that means that your self-consciousness is rather high . "

Jennie shot him a side look . She was too lazy to argue with him .

After breakfast, the husband and wife duo left the house . Jennie drove his Porsche .

Initially, Lisa had already sat in the driver's seat, but she had pushed him to sit in the front passenger seat instead . He complied since he knew that even though this woman looked gentle and indifferent, she was actually quite ambitious and unwilling to admit defeat .

The car sped out of the Grand Waves Villa area and drove on the highway that led straight to the airport .

In the car, Lisa leaned back comfortably while listening to the music as his well-manicured nails tapped on his knees to the beat . He seemed to be in a pretty jovial mood .

"When's the company going on a break this year? The New Year this year seems to have been pushed back later than the ones in the past . It's best to decide when the break is earlier . After all, the employees need to make their travel arrangements," Jennie suddenly piped up .

"Next week, we'll have work for another week . The Publicity Department has already made the announcements . After the New Year, we'll be doing some staff restructuring . Do prepare your department for it," Lisa reminded plainly .

"Restructuring? Didn't we just do that?" Jennie gave him a questioning look .

"The company has had quite a few projects after the New Year and I've already brought people back from France to assign to those projects . Naturally, some people need to be redeployed . "

"Mmm, got it . I'll just wait for the arrangements from the human resources department . "

When the car ambled into the carpark, the time was 8 . 30 a . m . on the dot .

They got down from the car, then the husband and wife walked towards the arrival gate .

On that cold morning, many people had come to greet others at the airport .

However, both of them had taken the special lane for VIPs . They had just taken a few steps when Chittip called Lisa, saying that she had already landed and was making her way out .

Jennie did not say anything along the way . She just followed Lisa .

They walked for about 10 meters when they could vaguely hear the urgent and resounding pad of footsteps on the walkway . Jennie subconsciously looked up and saw that ahead, there were a few figures walking very quickly towards them .

At a closer look, she could see clearly the people who were directly across them .

The leading person was a middle-aged woman in a black power suit . Her elegant and exquisite face vaguely held hints of a strict vigor and between her brows a firm heroic spirit was revealed . Her every move revealed an indescribable calm and dignity while her gaze was very incisive and threatening .

She was very breathtaking with an extraordinary grace . You could tell that when she was younger, she must have been a beauty . In fact, her looks seemed to be quite similar to the man beside Jennie who could almost immediately figure out the identity of this middle-aged woman .

Behind her, she was followed by some younger men and women . Their mannerisms showed that they were her subordinates .

When she saw the woman marching towards him resolutely, Lisa stopped mid-step and held Jennie's hand .

"This case has to be done in order . There's no way of me accommodating from my end . Let him understand the situation from Bureau Chief Kang . Just reply him like that . If he's got any problems, ask him to speak to me personally," commanded the woman . Then, she closed the document before handing it to the man beside her . "Okay, all of you go home first . We'll discuss anything else tomorrow . "

"Okay, Chief Zhuang!"

The few people behind her responded respectfully, then they very quickly held back their steps to let Chittip go first .
