Darn it, if I had known what I was walking into, I-I would’ve gotten Evan to do that in my place.
Seeing how terrible Nicole looked, Evan asked her what was wrong.
“Go talk to your daughter when you get home. Don’t let her give her teachers nicknames again.”
Evan turned around and stared curiously at her.
“What did Nina call her teacher?”
Nicole rolled her eyes and pointed out, “Don’t put the blame on Nina. Maya is the one who did it, not Nina.”
“Maya?”
Evan was just as shocked as Nicole was when she first heard about it.
“Yes, Maya! Go ask her what nicknames she gave the teachers, and find out how she even came up with those names in the first place!”
“Alright, alright. I’ll go talk to her about it. Shall we go see Davin now?”
Nicole checked how Evan looked with the Yoda mask on. It was likely that no one would recognize him.
“Sure, let’s head over to the Seet Group.”
Evan hurriedly drove to the Seet Group building.
Along the way, Nicole called Davin to ask him where he was.
Davin was surprised to be receiving a call from Nicole.
“What’s up, Nicole?”
“I’m back in the country and am heading over to the office. Are you there?”
“I-I’m at the bar.”
“Davin Seet, you are at the bar during working hours? A-Are you really going to let Seet Group crumble?”
Davin turned to the escort beside him, looking troubled.
“I’m busy and have to go, Nicole. Bye.”
Davin hung up, which infuriated Nicole.
Sitting next to Nicole and driving, Evan couldn’t help being curious. How did Davin end up like that?
“Should we go to Seet Group? Or do we go to the bar to find him?”
“Let’s drop by Seet Group first. We’ll head over to the bar later.”
When they arrived at the Seet Group building, Nicole got out of the car with the masked Evan.
Evan stood at the main entrance of the building and stared emotionally at the company that he had spent years fighting for and building.
Evan had sweat and bled for the company——it was like a child he had been raising for years. Yet, he had only been gone for a few months and the company was already at risk of being taken over.
Evan refused to let something like that happen.
“Let’s head in and see how things are now.”
“Okay.”
Nicole forged ahead while Evan followed closely behind with his Yoda mask on.
Nicole’s sudden appearance got the company’s employees talking. Many of them couldn’t contain their curiosity, who then gathered to gossip.
“Why is Mr. Seet’s wife suddenly showing up here?”
“I don’t know, either. Last I heard, she left the country with the owner of Levant Winery.”
“The company is fighting a civil war now, and as employees, we are in terrible shape. We have to listen to every single person’s orders. None of this would have happened if Mr. Seet is still around.”
“Did she come to the office to get her hands on the Seet Group as well?”
“If that’s the case, the company will see yet another round of showdown.”
“……”
The staff finally resumed working after they finished gossiping.
Nicole led Yoda to the top floor.
She held Yoda’s hand tightly when they were alone in the elevator. “I trust you. Everything will belong to you once more in no time,” said Nicole.
Yoda nodded.
The only problem was that they had been away for a few months, so they had no idea who was the one holding all the power. They also didn’t know how segregated the company was, how much resources had slipped out of the company’s grasp, or how much internal damage had been done. They would have to investigate everything carefully.
They were approaching the president’s office when they heard Adam and Lisa in an argument inside the office.
What the hell are they doing here?
When they listened closely, they could tell that Adam and Lisa were scolding someone.
Lisa’s piercing voice went, “You are nothing but a scoundrel taken in by Seet Group. You will do as instructed and will not talk back at us!”
“Exactly. Do your job and reassign these projects to me right away. We won’t treat you poorly after you accomplish your task. Whatever Evan offered you back then, we will offer even more!”
