Abigail was so glad that her eyebrows arched. "Thank you on behalf of all female employees that have suffered the torturous high heels, Mr. Zane!"Xander could change company policy at the flick of a finger and should not have a need to worry over such a small issue, yet he changed the policy when he saw Abigail get hurt from wearing high heels. This made Abigail so surprised that this boss of hers was such a godsend.Xander could not understand how such a small issue could make her so happy when she did not even want the house he wanted to gift her, though he felt relieved when he saw her this happy. "Thank my wife instead of me."Knowing he was married, Abigail said, "Then I'll have to thank Mrs. Zane for that!"Kate admired young people like Xander. "Young men nowadays are more reliable than you are, Javor. Look at Mr. Zane. He doesn't only dote on his wife, but is also considerate of his employees."Xander politely replied, "Thank you for the praise, Mrs. Goldstein, but I'm st
There were four people in the car. The driver was focused on driving, and Abigail and Keith were chatting on their phones. Xander felt like he was being isolated in another world by them.Xander thought, 'My two assistants are sitting in the same car as me. But they're chatting on their phones. And Abigail is even smiling so happily.' Xander slightly furrowed his dashing eyebrows as he said, "Keith!"His voice was a little cold. Keith, who was paying full attention to chatting on WhatsApp, shuddered. He said, "Mr. Zane..."Xander raised his hand to look at his watch. His gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was frosty as he said, "Give me today's investigation report half an hour later."Keith only had half an hour. Which meant he had to get the report ready before they arrived at the company."Okay." Although half an hour was too rushed for Keith, he did not dare to raise any objection.Keith replied to Abigail's message: [Abigail, I just said Mr. Zane's mood was good. But now h
Douglas spoke again, "Check the car. If there's no problem, this car will be yours after we get the handover procedures done.""I only have the right to use this car. Why would it be mine?" Abigail was well aware that the executives only had the right to use the car given by Zane Corporation. The company would take the car back when the employees resigned.Douglas replied, "Doesn't matter whom this car belongs to. It's fine as long as you can drive it."Abigail responded, "You're right."After checking the car and completing the handover procedures, only then did Abigail notice that both the motor vehicle registration certificate and vehicle driving license were registered under her personal information. The car was not under the Zane Corporation's name.It should not be the case. Abigail asked, "Mr. Clayton, why is this car registered under my name?"Douglas explained, "This is a change the company made to retain talented people. As long as you work well in the company, not only
She thought, 'Xander doesn't like to talk much. He probably didn't tell Nathan about this tiny matter.'She quickly typed: [Nathan, thank you! The shoes fit very well and they're very comfortable. But how did you know about my shoe size?]Nathan replied: [Grandma told me that you wear heels to work. And you always abrade your heels. So, I thought of buying you a pair of shoes. Grandma told me about your shoe size too.]His explanation was reasonable. He even explained the unasked question that Abigail had.Abigail texted: [I appreciate your concern.]Nathan responded: [I also heard from Grandma that you bought an apartment unit. I have a friend that's quite good at interior design. Do you want the number?]Abigail was looking for an interior designer. And Nathan was just recommending her one. This was a timely help.Abigail replied: [Sure. But whether or not the designer is your friend, I won't accept it if the design isn't good.]Nathan answered her with an [Okay] before sendi
Xander thought, 'Even that ugly, foolish Keith can become Abigail's alternative. Why can't I?'Keith, who was completely clueless, was suddenly summoned to the CEO's office by an internal call. He asked, "Mr. Zane, are you looking for me?"Xander stared at him without speaking. His gaze which was blazing with anger made Keith feel a chill down his spine. He asked again, "Mr. Zane, is there something wrong with my report?"Keith thought, 'He troubled me twice after I said his mood was good. I think I shouldn't speak carelessly from now on.'He had a few days off. And he did not make any mistakes when he worked today. Keith could not figure out what he did that made his boss unhappy.After a long silence, Xander faintly spoke, "Why are you still single?"The boss who never asked his employees about their personal matters suddenly showed concern about his worker's private matters. Keith suddenly felt something was not right. He answered, "Mr. Zane, I like to be single."Xander size
Abigail came to the CEO's office. She respectfully said, "Mr. Zane, are you looking for me?"Xander put out the cigarette that he just lit up. He had not even smoked it. He asked, "Have you come up with any ideas about what type of shoes our female employees should wear during formal occasions?"Abigail did not expect him to actually remember this matter that was so insignificant to him. She was very touched as she said, "Mr. Zane, thank you for showing so much concern for the female employees!"It was not easy for women to be in the workplace. Many companies would even impose harsh requirements on female workers. It was extremely rare that a male superior with so much power would consider the difficulties faced by female employees.The more Abigail spent time working with Xander, the more she felt that the rumors about him were nonsense. She thought, 'He's such a nice person. How could he possibly be cold-hearted?'She immediately took her phone out and showed him a picture. She
Abigail did that for the benefit of herself and for the female employees of the company. If everyone was happy, she was happy too. But after all, Xander was a businessman.Businessmen were mercenaries. To him, earning money would always be the most important thing. He was not so kind to the point where he could act in the best interest of all females.His thoughts, his actions, and the gentleness that he showed were all because Abigail was his lawfully wedded wife.Everything that he did was to make her happy.Abigail inexplicably felt a little guilty under Xander's focused gaze. She said, "Of course, I'm happy."'As long as she's happy,' Xander thought before he smiled as he said, "It's late. Let's call it a day.""Okay." Abigail stretched her hand to look at her watch. It was rare that she could get off work on time.When she left the company building and was ready to take the subway home, only then did she remember she had a company car. She then ran back to get her car.She
Margaret smiled as she said, "Life is indeed better without you two irritating us."Abigail pursed her lips as she cutely said, "Grandmas don't love me anymore. What should I do?"The two old ladies were amused by her cuteness. They chatted happily for a while before Abigail finally talked about the purpose of this call, "Grandma, do you know what Nathan's shoe size is?"When Cassandra heard that, she immediately glanced at Margaret. It seemed like she was trying to tell Margaret, 'Look, I told you they've reconciled. You didn't believe me.'Margaret grinned from ear to ear. But she was worried that Abigail might be shy. So, she replied with no questions asked, "Nate's shoe size is ten and a half."Abigail noticed the unconscious gestures the two old women made. But she pretended as if she did not see it. She did not want to give them hope and then disappoint them. She said, "Okay. Grandmas, you should continue eating. I'll call you two again next time.""Sure. You too. Remember
