Chapter 39 - Wifey, you are getting good at this (1/2)

They lounged in the bathtub with Kai Xin leaning back against his chest as he gives her a sponge bath. She was wiped out from their earlier workout and allowed him free reign to her body.

"Anyone suspicious?" He asked. Placing the sponge aside, he pushed her up into a sitting position before giving her a massage.

She nodded. She completely understood his question and where he was going with it. "I have narrowed down to two suspects. John Warwick, the Head of Accounts. We had been chatting quite often and he would always make innuendos that was a bit over the top. When I called him out for it, he dismissed it as a joke. The Head of Human Resources, Richard Lee, he did not talk much, but I felt uncomfortable around him."

"Why?"

She shrugged, then she shook her head, "It's a feeling."

DX frowned as he thought about those two. They were both hired at around the same period of time and were highly recommended by one of the directors of Du Corporation.

He absent mindedly played with her fingers as he said, "If it is really one of those two, we have to be careful. As far as I know, they are recommended by Director Xiong. The old fox is probably waiting for me to make a mistake. I will tell Han Ye to look deeper into their background."

Kai Xin nodded. As far as she was concerned, her role was to weed out the suspect. "There's one more. Gao Qiu."

DX knew Gao Qiu. He had been with the company for 10 years. "What about him?"

She glanced up at him and put the bubbles on his chin. He had looked at her curiously but he did not do anything to stop her.

Once she was happy with her handiwork, she said, "I think he resented Mrs.Smith for the promotion, Mr. Santa Claus"

DX nodded, completely ignoring the fact that he had a bubble beard. He had expected this when he promoted the least experienced member of the team to be the Head of the Legal Department. He had his reasons for doing so.

On one hand, he wanted someone who can pave the way for Kai Xin when and if she joins him at Du Headquarters.

On the other, despite having lesser years of experience, Mrs. Smith's work had been topnotch and he never had any problems with the quality of her work.

In addition, despite being the only female and the youngest at the team before, she was not afraid of speaking her mind.

She was the only one who dared to point out a mistake in a contract signed by the previous Head of Legal.

If the contract went unrectified, Du Corporation would stand to lose hundreds of millions worth of dollars.

The money itself was a small sum, but DX's capability to lead would be questioned.

He wanted someone who can do their work properly and be loyal to him and the company. A lapdog served no purpose in Du Corporation.

If those so-called senior legal counsel cannot do their work properly, then so be it. He had never regretted his decision to promote Mrs. Smith.

"If he makes any trouble for the legal department, let me know. I would deal with him...personally."

"Mm…" She replied. She turned to her side and lay back onto his chest. The water sloshed about from her movement and the sound echoed off the wall of the massive bathroom. "I'm too comfortable to move."
