Chapter 488 - Orion Enterprise annual meeting (1) (1/2)

Next morning, Felix woke up early.

He was watching Sophia's sleepy face for some time while thinking about their conversation from previous night. He realized that it's not fair to blame her for taking over all tasks on herself. It's his fault for falling into such a sorry state so that she felt the need to step up. The only way for him to prevent Sophia from overworking herself is that he shows that she can depend on him. And she can't depend on him if he is careless and does not take initiative to do more things.

She was sleeping peacefully. Felix placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and scooted out of the bed carefully, making sure not to wake her up.

He put a plastic bag over his left arm and took a shower. Luckily, Felix is ambidextrous, so he didn't have much issues completing his morning routine, except that he had only one hand available, so it took longer than usual.

When Sophia woke up, she found him in the study, going through documents that she kept on the side previous night.

”Good morning, ma chéri!”, he greeted her.

”Good morning…”, she smiled. ”Your hand is better?”

”Much better… I'm going through the list of positions for new house which you created yesterday… I don't see a driver.”

”You think we need one?”

Felix and Sophia spent part of the morning discussing process of hiring people for their house. They had to cut their talk short because Sophia was going to office to attend few meetings in person. By the time she was ready, David arrived with breakfast. Sophia excused herself, saying that she will eat in the office and left.

Felix closed the door behind Sophia and turned to the energetic young man who was eagerly waiting to hear what Felix has planned for him to do. In case Felix didn't make any plans, David had few suggestions ready.

David didn't notice Felix's dark expression as he slowly approached him while asking: ”David, do you know who your employer is?”

David happily responded. He knows answer to this question. ”Yes, Mr. Martin. Miss Hill got me a job to be your assistant.”

Felix shook his head. ”She hired you for a job, but your employer is me. You work for me. Do you understand where I'm going with this?”

David shook his head.

”Your job is to assist me when needed. Not her. Not anyone else. Me. If you think that I'm behind on some tasks, it's your job to remind me and to help me catch up. Do you understand? We rise together, and we fall together.” Felix didn't forget that Sophia told him about David's betrayal. David told Sophia that Felix's presentations are not ready!

David nodded vigorously. He was not sure what the context is, but he knows where his allegiance should be.

”Good. Now help me prepare those presentations. I will give you content…”, Felix walked to the study, and David followed after him.

After this, David did a good job, showing loyalty to Felix.
