Chapter 235 In Charge Of Other's Destiny
Chapter 235 In Charge Of Other's Destiny
Lisa had something on Mary.
"I don't understand, My Lady."
"It's a simple task. As soon as this afternoon's meeting gets over, you will bring me the final draft of the
new product, later at night. Keep in mind absolutely nobody is to find out, not even your husband or the
whole company will be talking about your dirty little secret; your affair with Tom Zhang!"
Lisa gave her an evil smile. Mary felt threatened.
"What do you want exactly, young Lady? Why would you need the designs?" Mary questioned.
"That is none of your business. Just do as you're told, or face the consequence..."
Lisa took out several photographs and a piece of paper from her pocket and threw them on the desk.
Three photographs, in particular, caught Mary's attention. They were taken at the hotel where she and Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Tom had met on Christmas the previous year. The small piece of paper had details of many other such
meetings.
How was all this personal information noted in such detail? When were these photographs even taken?
Mary was speechless. Her hands were trembling when she read the contents of the paper.
Mary would have like to deny all of it, had there not been such inarguable evidence. There was nothing
she could do or say to refute it. If her husband found out, he would file for a divorce!
"My Lady, please tell me what you want indeed. Why it has to be me as I have never offended you!"
She said.
Lisa laughed. "Of course you haven't! This is not about you. All I want to know is, can you do as I ask?
If not, then these photos will be exhibited here tomorrow."
"But if these new products were to get out before the press conference, there could be a disastrous
effect on the company." Mary tried explaining. But, Lady Linda, may I ask what are your intentions?"
"That is not for you to know! From what I understand, your parents haven't been in good health.
They've been in the hospital for some time now. Isn't your husband taking care of their medical bills?
Did you honestly think he will continue paying for them after the divorce?"
Lisa heard a sound outside of the office. She quickly slipped a note in Mary's pocket and whispered in
her ear. "The choice is yours now. If you want to keep your dirty secret safe, then send me the drafts to
this email."
Mary went pale the minute she saw Charles walk through the door.
Paul had informed Charles that Lady Linda was waiting for him in his office.
Nobody was usually allowed inside Charles' office; he was surprised to see Mary there, so he asked:
"What are you doing here?"
Mary was at a loss for words. In an instant she put away the photographs and other pieces of paper.
There was no way in hell Mary could leave her husband. The truth was, she never loved him. She only
married him for his money, which could support her whole family.
Mary's husband loved her dearly, but she felt otherwise.
It came as no surprise that Frank was a good man. Not only did he dote on Mary, but he also spent a
lot of money to ensure her sick parents were looked after.
"I was asking her where the restroom was. I wanted to freshen up." Lisa blurted while looking at Mary.
Mary spoke soon after. "Yes, Master Mu! Young Lady Linda was only asking me about the restroom.
I've told her it's around the corner, on the left. If there is nothing more, would you excuse me please?"
As soon as Mary left the office, Charles gently pulled Lisa into his arms. She blushed as she looked
into his passionate eyes.
Even though it was a one-way mirror and the other employees could not see into Charles's office, Lisa
still felt shy.
"Are you feeling tired, my love?"
"No, I'm good." Lisa shook head.
"Try to get more rest, okay?"
"Charles, do you remember me asking you If I could work here in the company? Can you give me a
position?" Lisa asked eagerly.
"Sure. What kind of position do you want? What do you think you are good at? You are pregnant now,
and I don't want you to exhaust yourself. We can wait till after the baby is born."
It was then that Lisa realized she had no specialty.
Irrespective of that, it was still pretty simple for Charles to create a position for her. Why did he even
bother to ask her such a question?
"Come to think of it Lisa; there has always been an increased concern over the emotional well-being of
our staff. Since you are good with people, why don't you become a counselor here? You can guide the
employees on how to improve their productivity. I'm sure this is something you would also enjoy along
the way, wouldn't you?"
Lisa thought 'what is psychological analysis and what does a counselor even do?' She knew nothing
about psychology.
"Sounds good, but how about giving me something easier to do for the time being?" Lisa said
hesitantly. Afraid of giving herself away, she was careful and brief.
"All right, my love. Don't worry. Your priority should be taking care of yourself and our baby." Charles
looked at her affectionately.
Charles returned to his schedule. Once he had finished all his meetings, they got ready to head back
home.
As Lisa was leaving the office with Charles, she gave Mary one final look, somewhat reminding her of
the task.
