Chapter 1438 New Years Day (2/2)

And all of the employees who stayed, especially the ones who were very close to Darren's office, felt extremely unlucky. They were forced to bear Darren's outbursts of anger.

The secretary who ran away a few moments ago went back to her station. She then asked her nearby colleagues if they heard what she had heard. One of them responded in a concerned tone, ”Darren has lost his temper more than a dozen times in the past 3 weeks. The company's financial losses have exceeded the limit. Do you think that the company is going to shut down soon?”

”Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. Go back to your desk and resume your work. If Darren w

dn't help but laugh at the man. He then told Louis, ”My children aren't spoiled brats. Besides, if you just give me a big red envelope full of cash, I promise they won't ask for gifts from you.”

Louis didn't pay attention to what Jacob said. He continued to casually change his shoes and pick up the car key. With a slight grin on his face, he replied, ”Don't you know that there's a difference between a gift and a red envelope? A gift is something that comes from the heart, while a red envelope full of cash is just for the heartless. Do I seem like that kind of a person to you? If it isn't clear by now, I love my dear niece and nephews very much.”

As Louis was stepping out of the house, Emily curiously looked at him. She couldn't help but tease him. ”Aren't you just using the kids as an excuse to leave? I'm sure that even if they weren't at home, you would still think of some excuse to leave the house, right? Something like going out to buy some food for New Year's Day. I promise they won't disturb you tonight. But if that still isn't enough, you can just come back tomorrow morning. Please don't use them as an excuse!”

Louis's face turned red. This time, he was a little embarrassed by what his sister had said. He whispered, ”If I haven't found a suitable gift, I will give each of my niece and nephews a big red envelope each when I come back!”

Everyone in the house knew that Louis couldn't let go of a certain someone and might not come back that night. So, the only thing they could do then was to bid him good wishes while he left the house.

As expected, Louis went straight to the department store and embarked on a huge shopping spree. When he was done, it wasn't easy for him to fit all of the things he had bought into his small car, but he managed to do it anyway. He was so excited to bring everything he had bought to Taylor's house. All this effort was surely going to make her happy. But when he got there and was about to press the doorbell, his joyous expression was replaced with a very serious one. He even took a deep breath and quietly thought of a plan.

He then said out loud, ”That's right. I must use this Baymax stuffed toy in order to win Amy's approval. After that, I can ask her for help and finally win over Taylor's heart.”
