Within half a year, he had taken Morris Group to the next level.
The Black family called Zoey over when they heard about the news.
“Grandpa, grandma, what’s the matter?” Asked Zoey.
“Zoey, I heard that Morris Group is going to hold its biannual celebration? Are you going to participate?” Asked Meredith anticipatingly.
“Yes. Why are you asking this?”
“That’s great!” Meredith ignored her question and continued asking, “Is it true that the mysterious boss is finally going to show his face?”
“It’s true!”
With a glint of excitement in her eyes, Meredith exclaimed, “That’s great news! I heard he is one of the most edible bachelors! Rumors have it that he has a strong background, which is why he got the last laugh when his company survived the financial market upheavals in North Hampton and South City.”
Robert concurred with his wife, “Indeed! He is a competent man since he managed to get a foothold in the market.”
Meredith coaxed, “Zoey, you should seize this opportunity to get in touch with him! This time we won’t interfere, and you can do as you please.”
“Grandma! What are you talking about?” Zoey was displeased as she regarded Meredith with incredulity, “I already have Levi! How could you ask me to set my cap at another man?”
“Uh-uh!” Meredith feigned an angry look on her face. “You’re still single! What’s wrong with interacting with other men? It’s not against the law, is it?”
Zoey gave a resigned smile. “Grandma, do you really think that the boss of Morris Group would take a fancy on me?”
“It might be impossible for other people to take his fancy, but you’re different! He is always there to help you when you face any difficulty. Don’t you wonder why he treats you differently?”
Zoey’s heart skipped a beat at Meredith’s words as they reminded her of her suspicions.
No one in the world was obliged to lend a helping hand to another person. Except for our family and friends who might step forward out of love, those who offered to help ‘gratuitously’ definitely had ulterior motives.
It had been weighing on her mind, Why would the boss of Morris Group help me? Is it like what grandma said…
Does he have feelings for me?
Although none of them had seen the mysterious boss, Zoey knew the boss had his eyes on them.
Meredith persuaded her smilingly, “Zoey, don’t let this opportunity slide! Maybe you would fall for him once you meet him!”
“Alright.” Zoey answered compliantly, giving her grandma a put-off. I will never fall in love with any man other than Levi. When I meet him, I will ask him why did he help me so that I could return his favor.
The Black family, on the other hand, held a different thought from Zoey. They believed that if Zoey could win the boss’ fancy, it would be in everyone’s interest.
Soon, it was Morris Group’s biannual celebration.
One day before the celebration, the employees of Morris Group, including Zoey and Levi, were sent to the island.
