Chapter 1294


    Sylvia only opened her eyes when Odell came out from the bathroom, clean and freshly dressed. He left the room before she


    could say goodbye.


    She picked up her phone and found out that it was already 10 o''clock in the morning. It was no wonder Odell left in such a hurry.


    She wondered when the busy days woulde to an end because it had been a while since they had woken up together.


    Recently, even seeing each other started to be a luxury that they could not afford.


    ‘Sigh. | still have to go to the academyter...‘


    Sylvia sighed and got out of bed.


    When Odell came down to the living room, only Aunt Tonya and Madam Carter were around to take care of Flint. Isabel and Liam


    had gone to school.


    Flint got up and ran over as soon as he saw his fathere down, so Odell carried him up for a while and then put him in Aunt


    Tonya’s care.


    He then said to Madam Carter, “Grandmother, | have to go to work now.”


    Madam Carter nodded. “Be safe.”


    Aunt Tonya reminded him, “Odell, you haven''t eaten your breakfast.”


    “I''m runningte. I''ll simply grab something along the way.” Odell then strode out of the house like an arrow let loose.


    Watching his father''s car leave the house, in Aunt Tonya‘s arms, Flint asked, “Granny Tonya, is Daddy going out for a few days


    again?*.


    “Yeah. Daddy is busy, but he''lle back when he’s done with work,” Aunt Tonya answered.


    The little boy pouted. “Daddy hasn''t yed with us for a long time.”


    Aunt Tonya was silenced by the boy''s littleint.


    “Flint,e here. Great-granny will y with you. Come over here.” Madam Carter waved at the boy from her wheelchair.


    Flint came down from Aunt Tonya‘s arms and went over to her.


    Despite sitting in Madam Carter''sp, Flint‘s googly eyes were glued to the door. He really wanted his parents to stay home


    together for a little longer.


    The ck MPV shuttled across the busy traffic and finally arrived in front of Carter Tower.


    When Odell got down and strode into the building , the two receptionists bolted up and bowed at him. Even the other employees


    who passed by the lobby paused and greeted him.


    He nodded at everyone as he went into the elevator that sent him straight to the highest floor. As soon as he stepped out of the


    elevator, he strode towards his office.


    In front of the office door was the secretary''s desk where Shermaine had been waiting for him the whole morning. She bolted up


    and bowed respectfully with her hands in front of herp. “Good morning, Master Carter.”


    Odell nodded but caught a glimpse of something that intrigued him.


    The youngdy wore a in white dress with her hair neatlybed and tucked behind both her ears,plementing her


    delicate face with fair skin. She only wore light makeup, but it suited her pronounced facial features. Not only did her overall


    impression stand out, but it also reminded him of his woman back home.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Stunned, he paused his steps for a second. “Are you Shermaine?”


    Shermaine''‘s eyes gleamed. She maintained her respectful smile and said, “Yes, sir.”


    Odell then went into his office without saying anything else.


    She had been working at the front desk for two years, and he had never even spared her a nce. Now that she was his


    secretary, he stared at her for a full five seconds on her first day.


    Her eyes flickered in excitement.


    Awhileter, when the time was right, she left her station and brought a cup of tea into the office.


    The man’s lonely figure sat on the leather chair behind the massive desk, working diligently in the huge and luxurious CEO''s


    office. Focused and determined, he flipped through the pile of documents.
