After listening to the report, Lyna replied, “Alright, I’ve noted it down. You can get back to your duties.”
Her expression changed the moment the man left. She narrowed her eyes and stared blankly at the ground.
All of you are so old and stubborn. Do you really think you can win against me?
In her opinion, she had already made a mental note to treat those employees who did not support her as her enemies.
“Since all of you chose this path, don’t blame me for being heartless. I am merely giving in to your decision to court your own death,” she muttered under her breath.
With a sly smile on her face, she thought aloud, “The newbie that came today reminded me that it is not enough to deal with Hannah alone. I must make sure Winson is safe as well because if Leo decides to pass the business to the former, all my efforts will go down the drain.”
After much deliberation, Lyna finally came up with a plan. Not only would it help to get rid of the old stubborn employees, but she could also earn an edge over Winson too.
Once Winson is of age, I will let those old geezers meet with him. Then, I will claim that Leo bribed them and ask for their accounts to be investigated. When that happens, I can force Leo to resign and let me take over the company. Haha, Winson won’t even stand a chance to steal the company from me by then, and I will not even feel threatened if they talk to Leo behind my back.
“Haha! All of you deserve it, so don’t blame me,” she laughed with satisfaction.
Thinking about the ways to deal with Winson and the employees that went against her, her lips curled into an evil grin.
On the other hand, Hannah and Helen prepared for a pizza feast, and it was finally ready.
While the sisters and Jason loved spicy food, Fabian could not take the heat. Therefore, Hannah specially made a double-flavoured pizza to accommodate the differing palettes.
To everyone’s discomfort, Fabian treated Hannah especially well throughout the meal. He paid special attention to her and repeatedly fed her the pizza and sides.
His cheesy actions made Jason and Helen cringe.
Despite so, Hannah paid no attention to those two. Pretending that she had not noticed their uneasy expressions, she enjoyed the delicious food that Fabian served her.
Similarly, Fabian took no notice of the others too. He could only see the blissful look on Hannah’s face and could not help but break into a triumphant smile. How can an adult look so much like a child?
Moments later, they finally finished their meal, and they sat in a circle to play poker. As it was an unprecedented situation, Hannah thought her sister was out of her mind for suggesting the card game. Although they had cards at home, they usually reserved them for their guests and never touched them. Besides, Fabian was the president of the Phoenix Group, so why would he want to hang around to play poker with them which was a waste of time.
To her surprise, Fabian agreed to play the game with them. Prior to his response, she noticed that Fabian seemed taken aback by Helen’s suggestion and was about to speak out. However, the man casually replied, “Sure! I don’t mind doing anything to accompany my wife.”
A dreamy expression appeared on Hannah’s face when she heard that line. After glancing at Helen and Jason, she turned to Fabian and gleefully teased, “Well, your performance has met my standards today. You won’t have to sleep on the sofa later.”
The man chuckled as he was not expecting his wife to taunt him with what he had said.
Regardless, he played along. “Honey, does it mean that you won’t punish me tonight too?”
“Hmm, it all depends on how you behave later,” Hannah challenged.
“Oh no…”
Despite knowing that the couple was joking and doing it on purpose to Helen and him, goosebumps appeared all over his body as he listened to their exchanges.
I came here to have some fun, but both of you ended up poking fun at me! Are you trying to suffocate me? I can’t believe both of you are having so much fun doing it.
Mirroring his thoughts, Helen rolled her eyes and complained, “Hey lovebirds, that’s enough. We know that both of you are heads over heels for each other, but it’s getting a bit too much. Truth to be told, I can’t stand it anymore.”
