Chapter 109 - Video Call (1/2)

Author's Note: Hiyo...i'm finally back! i hope we are all good. I owe you guys mass release for waiting patiently. Don't worry I will surprise you! THank you for your supports!

”Sir, the doc.u.ments you requested for.” Ye Xing said as he placed the doc.u.ments on the desk. Without looking up from a load of paperwork piled on his desk, Lei Zhao gave Ye Xing a small nod and resumed reading the contract.

Lei Zhao was a known workaholic after the death of his brother, but these couple of months, he has barely worked. His mind had stopped thinking about business deals, and instead, his wife preoccupied him.

He was known for not taking breaks, vacations, or even postponing a meeting, but after he got married, Lei Zhao realized that he couldn't leave his wife. Being with her gave him peace, and those moments were his happiest. No matter how much he spends with her, it seems it wasn't enough.

Lei Zhao never thought he would be such a doting husband who will risk big business deals to spend time with his wife. If his friends knew this, they would definitely laugh at him.

Now that his wife has also fallen in love with him, he feels as if a heavy burden has been removed from his heart. He feels everything is going too smoothly for them. At the back of his mind, he feels this is just the calm before the storm. A pending doom has been tugging at his heart these past few days.

Lei Zhao shook his head; maybe he was overthinking. He needed to focus on his work since lots of people's lives depended on this company, and he couldn't be selfish. Lei Zhao rubbed his temples, and his lips twisted into a soft smile as his wife's beautiful face flashed across his eyes.

Ye Xing raised his brows when he saw the soft smile on his boss's face. It was rare to see his boss smile after the death of his brother. Ye Xing knew his boss's wife was slowly changing the lonely and ruthless man to a loving and happier man.

Honestly, he preferred this side of his Boss. Never in his wildest dream did he ever think that boss was going to b a henpecked husband one day.

His boss didn't even treat Miss Yun, his ex-girlfriend, like this. Even though the public thought Lei Zhao was madly in love with Yun Zhou, it was all a lie. Ye Xing knew better. His boss just treated her like a sister and gave her everything she wanted. Ye Xing even thinks his boss never touc-

”Ye Xing, are you monitoring Mr. Wang?” Lei Zhao asked, snapping Ye Xing from his thoughts.

”Yes, Boss.” Ye Xing replied.

Lei Zhao nodded in satisfaction. He needed to keep on that guy in case he tries to harm his wife.

”Boss, is there anything you need?”

Lei Zhao shook his head, ”No, I will call you when I need something.”

Ye Xing retreated out of the office, leaving Lei Zhao to his work.

Lei Zhao took a deep breath and looked at the paperwork he had yet to go through. He was itching to hear his wife's voice, but he knew better than to do that. After going through six plans prepared by his team for a project he was currently working on, Lei Zhao rubbed his neck's back with tiredness between his brows.

Lei Zhao pushed himself back, leaning on the chair. He looked at his watch, which Yan Mei gave him, and realized it was two pm.

He wonders if his wife has eaten. He knew she was a workaholic just like him. 'Did she forget to eat?' Lei Zhao's brows bumped together as he picked up his phone.

Lei Zhao sighed; he wanted to call her but decided against it. Maybe she was busy. So, he sent a text message.

Yan Mei was having a meeting with her executives. They were currently discussing who to choose to represent their new collections. A phone vibrating sounded in the conference room, interrupting Yan Mei, who was speaking.

The executives held their breath as panic stroked inside them. They were afraid it was one of them who had forgotten to turn off his phone; they looked at each other, mumbling.

The executives realized their boss was in a good mood today, but they didn't dare risk anything to make her angry. The words got stuck in their throat when they saw their boss looking at her phone with a soft smile, making her usually aloof features soft.
