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
“Stacey is the young lady of the chairman who owns Halo Investment Corporation.”Mrs. Lynch rolled her eyes at Freya. “She has a crush on your brother, and that’s why she applied to become his secretary. Tsk. This woman has such great taste.”“...”Freya’s mouth twitched at the fact that her mother claimed Stacey had great taste just because she was in love with Forrest. “What great taste? My brother is so cold.”“Ahem. It’s fine for others to say that, but you shouldn’t. Your brother has been treating you well since you were young. What’s more, he’s one of the very few good-looking ones.”After Mrs. Lynch finished speaking, she coughed. “Of course, he is a bit cold. That’s exactly why I’m worried that he’ll be single forever. Since the woman saved him, he should devote his life to her, and he agreed with it too.”“My brother could’ve been scared because you kept pushing him to get married. Since he would have to get married anyway, he thought he might as well pick Stacey so that
“My brother’s assistant has saved him heroically, so my brother plans to devote his life to her. It is ridiculous.” Freya said, “Both my parents have approved of it. In fact, the two families are well-matched, but I think two people must have feelings for each other before getting married. Marriage isn’t a game. Oh, forget it. There’s a generation gap between my parents and me, whereas my brother has never gone through it, so he doesn’t understand my good intentions. Hmph. I advised him out of kindness, yet he treated me so coldly.”“Uh… Hasn’t your brother always been cold? Don’t take it to heart,” Ryan comforted Freya.“...That’s true too.”“Darling, after some thought, I’ve decided to cook some noodles. I’ll talk to you later…”Ryan hung up the call.He was hungry, but he just felt the need to let Jessica know about the matter.With that, he quickly dialed Jessica’s number. “Where are you?”“Working overtime.”Ryan was speechless. “Are you planning to dedicate your entire li
The Lynch family and the Childs family soon proposed a schedule for the wedding.Mrs. Childs even had someone pick the wedding date. “I found out that next week, the 15th, is a good day. Let’s set it as the wedding date.”Forrest subconsciously frowned. “Assistant Childs’ legs won’t be fully recovered by then.”“The doctor said she can only walk properly at least after 100 days. That means she’ll only recover at the end of the year. That’s a little too long.” Mrs. Childs paused for a moment before she continued, “Since you both are getting married soon, you can directly address her as Stacey.”“That’s right, Forrest.”Stacey, who was on the bed, summoned her courage to look at him. “Just call me Stacey from now on.”Forrest replied in the affirmative and looked down.“15th it is, then,” Mrs. Lynch responded. She was aware of the Childs family’s concern. They wanted to avoid the problems that might incur a delay, and as Forrest’s mother, Mrs. Lynch was worried that Forrest would
