Chapter 375 - Lyrick Jiangs prayers (1/2)

Edward Lu ended the call with a loud humph as if he was utterly dismayed at how 'irresponsible' his grandson was. Although he knew that Ethan Lu had been very busy handling things with their company affairs before taking a leave to accompany Lexi until she gives birth, he was still mad as Ethan Lu must be there to witness and be with Lexi on this wonderful day.

On the other hand, as Ethan Lu heard those series of beeping sounds from his phone, he instantly jolted from his seat and raised his hand a little.

”Meeting adjourned. Revise your presentation and send it to me tomorrow morning.” With that said note, Ethan Lu took immediate strides outside the crowded conference room.

”Master—!” Confused and surprised at the same time, Lyrick Jiang called out as he hurriedly followed his boss.

Meanwhile, the rest inside the conference room fell into an awkward silence as their gaze could only follow their big boss's retreating figure. Just a second ago, he was silently listening to the presentation without saying anything and now, he ordered to revise the whole thing? Just what kind of call did he receive just now to prolong this project?

Aside from the disheartened employee that needed to pull another all-nighter to make it to the deadline, everyone else was confused as their grown cold boss of theirs seemed like he was panicking?

****

”Tch! Red can you be a little faster? My babies are coming!” Fussing in the back passenger seat, Ethan Lu clicked his tongue in annoyance as he felt that their speed wasn't fast enough.

”Master, I'm driving at a maximum speed.” Explaining the situation, Jarred Guo coughed a little as he was already speeding. Glancing at the rear mirror, there were already enforcers following behind them as they already broke several traffic laws. Yet, he could not pull over as 'the law' named Ethan Lu already gave his verdict.

”What? Let me drive!” Ethan Lu glared daggers at the driver's seat as he ground his teeth.

Just like what his grandfather wanted, Ethan Lu could never miss Lexi giving birth to their beautiful children. Moreover, the way his grandfather spoke was as if Lexi was already giving birth. Hence, how could he keep his cool intact right now?

”Master, please calm down. I am sure Madam is going through labor and she will not give birth as fast as you think.” Trying to tone things down, Lyrick Jiang turned his head from the front seat to the back passenger seat. Alas, the moment he laid his eyes on his boss, he was nearly blinded by the dark aura emanating from Ethan Lu.

”I don't care! My wife needs me!” Nothing seemed to get through Ethan Lu's head as his mind was already clouded and infected by Edward Lu's exaggeration of the recent event. Hence, remaining adamant, he firmly sassed.

'God, please help me!' Weeping inwardly, Lyrick Jiang said his prayers to all the deities he had known and asked for their heavenly help.

Just then, as if Lyrick Jiang's prayers were heard, his phone vibrated that was inside his suit pocket. Snapping, Lyrick Jiang immediately slid his hand inside his suit pocket to check who it was.

There, Nico Zhuang's contact name was displayed on the screen. Having no time to wonder what the reason was for this rare personal call, Lyrick Jiang answered.
