Chapter 166
At the dinner table, Lucy and Matthew quietly ate their dinner. Vito watched them with a smile on his face, and he sighed. "It's a rare occasion that both of you don't need to work overtime today. Usually, you're not even home after I make dinner."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Hearing his complaints, Lucy scratched her head in embarrassment.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. Things in the company had been getting busier recently, and they still lacked manpower. It seemed like she would have to recruit more people.
The thought of that felt a little unreal. Previously, she only had a handful of employees left after they were all poached. Some were even recruited by Matthew.
It was still a small company then, so operations were simple. She even felt like she had a surplus of talents.
She did not expect to have a shortage of staff in such a short time.
Lucy ate her dinner while immersed in her thoughts, which Matthew found extremely adorable. His wife was pretty even when she was daydreaming. Soon, they finished dinner, and Lucy went up to take a shower.
Since coming back from the company, Lucy felt like she was covered in dust from head to toe. The thought of her sleeping on her bed for three hours without washing up triggered her germaphobia.
While Lucy was showering, Matthew was feeling bored, so he took out his laptop and initiated a video conference with the director of his company. The director, Michael Wallis, quickly answered. It could be seen that he was currently in a meeting.
When the director saw Matthew calling, he started crying tears of joy on the inside. He did not expect the CEO to still care about the employees enough to join the meeting.
Matthew looked at the screen and lazily said, "Carry on with your meeting. I'll just be here listening. If there are any issues, I'll point them out." Michael was overjoyed. Soon, everyone continued with the meeting while Matthew listened indifferently.
Lucy quickly finished her shower
and put on some clothes. Other than
her damp hair and slightly rosy
cheeks, no one could tell that sheet
had just taken a shower. Perhaps it was because she still planned on doing some reading later.
When she appeared in front of Matthew, he merely glanced at her before shifting in his seat. He invited her to sit down and listen in on the meeting with him.
Of course, if his wife had walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, Matthew would have closed his laptop in an instant. He would have left his employees to fend for themselves.
After listening in to Matthew's meeting for a while, Lucy found it a bit boring.
She was not in the same industry, so she did not know how Matthew's industry worked. She had not even participated in any charity auction before. She eventually lost interest and picked up a book to read instead.
The meeting soon came to an end. Matthew calmly closed his laptop and stretched.
He looked at his wife's peaceful side profile and asked, "What do you think?"
Lucy looked confused. "What do I
think of the meeting? I don't know. I only listened to a little bit and spent the rest of the time reading. I barely understand the content, so I don't think you should be asking me.”
Matthew chuckled. "I don't mean that. I'm asking if you would want to attend the auction with me."
