Chapter 368 - Wedding Gift (1/2)

An hour ago inside the conference hall…

Now that everyone had arrived, Geoffrey began the board meeting.

”Starting tomorrow, everyone will stop working on the construction sites for the complete preparation for Miss Davies' and Mr. Shen's wedding,” he announced.

Every construction firm's representative was present at this meeting. They clapped their hands and greeted Vincent.

”Congratulations, Mr. Shen!”

”Thank you.”

Vincent swept his gaze to the entire room, and he nodded and thanked everyone. After they settled down, Geoffrey continued with the lists of announcements in his hand regarding what will happen in the past four days.

”There will be more armed forces arriving today to secure the safety of the royal and elite families from every part of the globe. Please, advise all of your employees to bring their working IDs and documents. There will be tight security. If ever you have plans to leave the city, go through the protocol and declare your leave and the day you plan to come back to the city.”

”Mr. Wilson, we understand it is necessary to implement strict rules this time around. In that case, if our workers wished to leave the city during the off days, what proof should they show it was them?”

”They have to reach out to the Security Station Office to get a card for their access. The computer needs their data to log out and log in. Please, explain to your employees. The princess wanted the guests' safety. We have to stop all the paparazzi from disguising themselves and be able to get inside.”

”We understand, Mr. Wilson. I will propose to my employees to stay within Dream City instead, and we don't want to add to Miss Davies's worries,” said Director John Lewis of Lewis Construction Firm.

”I will propose this to my boss. It's better to stay within the city to avoid any problems in the security.”

The other construction firm also came to this idea. Geoffrey and Vincent were satisfied with everyone's response. Indeed, there is less to worry if the workers avoid leaving and attempt to enter the city this time around.

All the important families are gathering in one place. The Emperor of the Mafia Association is fully committed to ensuring every guest's safety.

The meeting adjourned after further reports, Geoffrey went back to his office. He will move to the chairman's office as the new CEO of Davies Group while Hailes's office remains, this time with the signed Chairwoman of Davies Corporation, in which she will share the room with her husband.

Geoffrey watches the beautiful scenery from his office. Ever since he was born into this world, he was always praised for being smart, and he was also an obedient son and immersed himself in studying.

Then his world started spinning around Hailee. He did everything to stay close to her. Be her chaperone, big brother, assuming boyfriend, chauffeur, a partner in crime in Bryan's absence, and follow her everywhere she wanted to go.

His family doesn't mind if he neglects his responsibility to manage Wilson Group as long as he can pursue the Davies heir.

They supported him when he asked for his inheritance to invest in Hailee's company, and now he became the new CEO of this company.

He thought that one day, he could persuade Hailee. However, she only thinks of him as one of her big brothers. Someone she could trust and rely on.

He is ready to do everything for her. However, he could not make her notice that he was in love with her.

They have been friends for fifteen years. But she still fell in love with someone she barely knew.

Geoffrey heaves a long sigh and shrugs, the pain lingering in his chest. His phone received a text message from his mother. Until now, his mom has been mad at him for not making a move on Hailee.

His mom was infuriated after they saw Hailee's post on her Instagram that she was getting married. She phoned him immediately to find out who the guy was, and she hoped it was him. But to his mom's disappointment, he told her it was not him, and he didn't know who this guy was, either.

Geoffrey opened his Inbox and read the whole text. His mom is asking if he has already prepared a gift. Even though his parents were disappointed and sad, they will attend Hailee's wedding.

”Yes, mom. I already prepared a gift for Hailee.”

After Geoffrey sent his reply, he opened a drawer and drew out the gift he wanted to give to Hailee before her wedding day.

Geoffrey pressed a button. His secretary rushed inside.

”Boss?” Helen asked the moment she entered the office.

”Do you know if Miss Davies was in her office?”

”Miss Davies didn't come to the company, boss. It was her husband who took over her work today.”

A flash of displeasure passed through his eyes. Geoffrey snorted inwardly from the thought that he had to be used to Hailee having a husband now.

”Alright. Thanks, Helen. I'll talk to Mr. Shen. Hold all my phone calls.”

”Yes, boss.”

Helen walked out of the office, and later her boss followed and headed to the President's office.

'What a pity. Not all handsome win the beauty they were persuaded.' Helen felt pitiful toward her boss.

All the secretaries and assistants knew that their big bosses had romantic feelings toward the lady boss.

However, she falls in love with someone else, the reason everyone from the director mourns and her boss is the number one among them.
