Chapter 244
The president, who was still angry the day before, had been in such a good mood recently. He wasn’t even this happy when they managed to negotiate a major business deal
This made the employees a little confused, thinking that it was because of Kieran’s persuasion the other day, so they praised the second young master for his excellence and hoped that he would continue to maintain this.
Kieran was a little amused. What does this have to do with me?
He was scolded that day and was even forced to participate in an extremely boring dinner.
It was simply too miserable!
He let out a mirthless laugh. “All right. Go back to work when you’re done with the flattery, lest you make mistakes again and I have to take the blame for you. Go on!”
Sure enough, the employees fell silent and returned to their workstations to start the day’s work.
However, he didn’t blame this group of employees for being idle and flattering. His brother had indeed been acting strange lately, and he wanted to know the secret behind the behavior too. Without thinking twice, he went straight to Nicholas’s office.
“Nicholas, what’s up with you lately? Have you lost your marbles?” Kieran asked with a smile as soon as he entered the office.
Nicholas looked up before he swept a cold glance over his brother.
Kieran had goosebumps in an instant and quickly defended himself. “No, Nicholas. Let me explain. I’m not saying anything bad about you. It’s just that you seem to be in a good mood lately and you don’t work overtime anymore. Heck, you even…”
You even leave work earlier. Kieran continued those words in his mind, but instead added, “I just wanted to ask whether something has happened lately.”
“Office hours,” Nicholas stated in a deep voice.
“Oh, I got it. I understand. Don’t talk nonsense during office hours. It’s just that the project between us and Timothy’s company has been progressing very smoothly. Are
you getting off work early to discuss business with him?” Kieran asked tentatively.
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t pry any information out of Nicholas even after asking Nicholas that. Otherwise, he didn’t deserve to be Nicholas’ brother!
“Yeah.” Nicholas responded casually and looked through the documents in his hand, not taking his brother’s question seriously at all.
Moreover, as biological brothers, even if Kieran didn’t tell him, he knew what Kieran had guessed. After all, his nosy brother would definitely probe elsewhere. This wasn’t anything unspeakable anyway, so it was fine for him to know about it.
“Then, you’ve really been working hard.” Kieran smiled again.
It was just a standard response, but it seemed that the news was true. His brother had actually been taking Gregory to Timothy’s house every day to see that woman.
Kieran couldn’t help but wonder whether Tessa had magic powers that could captivate people as cold as Nicholas and Gregory.
Nevertheless, his brother appeared calm. “You’re focused on work too, so why shouldn’t I be? Where’s the report that I asked you to prepare last time?”
“Um, excuse me. I’ll carry on with my work first. Take care of your body and get more rest.” With that, Kieran ran away and left no room for a scolding.
At the Sawyer Residence, Remus asked while drinking tea in an old-fashioned manner, “What has Nicholas been up to lately?”
Andrew answered, “Master Nicholas has been attending meetings and processing documents at the office as usual. The company is also operating normally. However, he often leaves work on time and has been taking Young Master Gregory out every
Remus raised his eyes listlessly. “Where have they been going to?”
The housekeeper reported hesitantly, “G-Going to Regal Gardens to find that pair of siblings in the name of work. Master Nicholas goes over to talk about the project with the young man while Young Master Gregory is there to practice violin with Tessa, but they don’t stay overnight…”
When Remus heard this, he set the teacup down with force.
Originally, when he heard that Tessa was distancing herself from his grandson and great-grandson, he thought that she had already given up and no longer clung to the Sawyer Group.
What he never expected was that with so many obstacles, the two of them had not severed their relationship yet.
He couldn’t even tell whether it was his grandson going against him or whether the girl was skillful enough to pleasure a mature and stable man like Nicholas.
