“Of course.” Freya was smug. Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch exchanged glances. They could not stand seeing their daughter being so shameless.However, their daughter’s matter was already settled. It was their son’s relationship that became a major concern for Mrs. Lynch.After dinner, Ryan and Freya pushed Dani in a stroller to the neighborhood’s lakeside for a walk.The weather had started becoming hotter. The night breeze blew, and a slight fragrance wafted in the air. Freya sighed. “I really can’t figure out what my brother is thinking. Did you say he still likes Jessica? It doesn’t seem like that. He might not like her, but he still hasn’t gotten a girlfriend.”After she spoke, she glanced at the man beside her. “What do you think?”“I’m not too sure either.”No matter how smart Ryan was, he could not figure everything out. “Maybe Forrest doesn’t like Jessica anymore. Or maybe he still likes her, but he can’t get over the barrier in his heart. Besides… it’s not just about their
Jessica put her documents aside and leaned her petite body against the leather chair. She observed Ryan and smiled. “How are things going? When are you planning to get married?”“It’s still too early for that. Even if I agree, the Lynch family won’t.” Ryan touched his nose. He still had some self-awareness. “On the other hand, the Lynch family keeps urging Forrest. If he doesn’t bring a girlfriend back this year, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch will probably make a big fuss.”Jessica was stunned. Then, her elegant eyes went downcast. Her thick, dark eyelashes left a dark shadow on her face.“What do you think of this?” Ryan watched Jessica. “Me?” She pressed her lips together, feeling bitter. “I don’t know either. In his heart, I’m probably just a despicable woman.”Jessica had made an effort before, but Forrest was too cold. He was like a block of ice with thorns—cold and prickly. Actually, she could understand. She did not blame him. Everyone had their own standpoint. However, it was a fa
After Ryan finished speaking, he straightened himself up and shrugged. “It’s late now. I’ll take my leave first. Don’t stay up too late. As a woman, you need to keep yourself in good shape.”Jessica did not respond to his comment.Instead, she became eerily quiet.…The next day.When Forrest came downstairs, he was dressed in an expensive suit. His expression was indifferent as usual.Nevertheless, his behavior did not dampen Mrs. Lynch’s enthusiasm.The moment Forrest planted himself in the seat to have breakfast, Mrs. Lynch came over while holding a phone. “Ever since we came to Canberra, I’ve attended a few social functions with your dad. Look, these are the young ladies we met during the functions. These two look good…”“Mom…”Forrest furrowed his brows tightly.Last night, he got nagged so much that he hardly ate anything. However, the same thing was happening again during breakfast. He had enough of it.“You don’t want to listen to me, huh?” Mrs. Lynch was not bothere
According to Forrest’s employees, their young president was an expressionless person. However, so what if he was expressionless? He was undeniably good-looking.…At 11:00 a.m.Forrest arrived at Canberra Industrial Park.This was the production factory that Lynch Corporation had spent a huge amount of money building. Lynch Corporation focused on the production of automotive glass and industrial glass. Lynch Corporation was relocated to Canberra, and behind their factory was an airport. There was a huge port a few kilometers away. Due to its efficient transport system, Lynch Corporation had gained popularity in other countries within a few months.However, Lynch Corporation did not choose to be listed. It had been developing steadily under Forrest’s lead.“President Lynch, this is our latest batch of laminated glass.”The person in charge of the industrial park, Manager Woodward, brought Forrest and a few other people to the factory. There were quite a number of newly produc
“President Lynch, I’m sorry. There has been a lot of stock in the factory lately, and we don’t have the space for now. That’s why–"“Aren’t you worried that confusion will arise when it comes to moving the stock?” Forrest said frostily, “What did I tell you back then? Glass factories have safety hazards. As a manager, not only do you need to ensure good production, but you also need to guarantee everyone’s safety. Although the employees of the factory are responsible for their negligence, you are to blame as well. Since you can’t guarantee the company’s safety, I doubt your ability.”Manager Woodward’s face paled.“When you go back, hand over your work to someone else. You’ll be transferred to the production department for the time being.” Forrest gave the order grimly. “Any objections?”“N-No.”Manager Woodward would not be so foolish as to talk back to Forrest because he would be in trouble if he lost his job.What was more, he dared not imagine what the consequences would be i
“Oh, my daughter. I told you not to work in Lynch Corporation, yet you insisted on doing it. We have a company too.” Mrs. Childs was heartbroken. “Forrest, I don’t care about anything else, but you have to bear the responsibility for this. My daughter got injured at work, and it was because she wanted to save you.” Stacey promptly pulled her mother’s hand. “Mom, I did it voluntarily…”“Stop talking.” Mrs. Childs glared at her daughter, infuriated. “Who told you to be a heroine? If the glass had fallen on your face, your life would be ruined. Having said that, the injuries on your leg aren’t any better. It takes several months for fractures to heal. With scars on your legs, you won’t be able to wear dresses during summer, and I’m sure your future husband won’t be able to stand the sight of them when he spots them in the future.” Stacey shrunk her neck unhappily.Then, Forrest said composedly, “Our company will bear the compensation, including the medical fees and mental distress
“I’ll talk to Jerry in two days.”Jerry Lynch was Forrest’s father.Mr. Childs thought it was best for the elders to discuss the matter.…The incident that happened during Forrest’s inspection soon reached Jerry’s ears.As soon as Jerry got to the office, he called Forrest over. “You need to rectify the situation in the factory. Luckily, no one was killed this time. By the way, is your assistant fine?”“She has fractures,” Forrest roughly described Stacey’s condition.Jerry was lost in thought. “I didn’t expect Stacey to be Andrew Childs’ daughter. Why did she come to Lynch Corporation to be your assistant instead of working in her family’s investment company?”“I’m not sure. She probably wants to hone her skills,” Forrest said indifferently. “However, Stacey can endure hardships and criticisms working under me. She has never pulled rank, and when it comes to duties, she’s very capable.” Jerry knew his son’s temper very well. Forrest was not bothered about looks. As long as
“Mom…” Stacey glared at her mother shyly and embarrassed.Forrest, who had been staying quiet at the side, was momentarily stunned. Then, he furrowed his brows, wondering if he had seen Stacey before.In fact, he was bad at recognizing women. If he had not been seeing Stacey every day, he would have easily confused her with other women.After all, women nowadays generally had delicate faces and large eyes.With the situation, Mrs. Lynch understood what was happening. She wished her son would get married soon, and out popped a person who was in love with him. What was more, she had even saved him, so naturally, Mrs. Lynch had a thing for Stacey. “How old is your daughter?”“23,” Mrs. Childs answered promptly.“That’s quite young. Forrest is 30…” Mrs. Lynch darted a profound glance at her son.“Well, older men are more reliable and mature,” Mrs. Childs said meaningfully. Since she had said it so directly, only a fool would not understand her intentions. Stacey looked down with
