Contract Marriage With Mysterious President

Chapter 302 Start Working Independently

"Hello? Please say something, Richard." Amy got anxious since Richard had been in silence for a

while.

"I have a meeting right now." Richard couldn't explain the situation to Amy properly, so he found an

excuse to avoid the topic.

"You..." Amy didn't finished her sentence while Richard's phone was dead.

Richard tried to find the charger, but he couldn't find it.

"Mr. Carter, we are waiting for you to voice your vote." a worker came in to ask Richard to join the

meeting while he was going to give an explanation to Amy by using the telephone. The members in the

board of directors had arrived. Today, they were going to vote on the resort project and the

hypermarket project, both proposed by Richard.

"OK, I'm coming." Richard grabbed his files and went to the meeting room.

Amy was so upset that she called him again. But he couldn't be reached out both from his phone and

the office telephone.

‘Fine. I will do it myself if you don't want to cooperate with me.' Her anger boiled away soon.

Amy reviewed the plan and then asked Finnley to budget the money so as to estimate how much

capital was needed.

Richard didn't convince other members at the meeting. Other members were friends with Halbert, so

they voted against the project collaborated with Newell Group out of the reasons that Richard had done

nothing to get revenge for Halbert and Newell Group was owned by the murderer of Halbert.

"Richard, it's essential to win people's heart. I will get revenge for father since you don't." Jacob said to

Richard crossly.

Some members sighed when watching what was going on between the two brothers. Most of them left

with Jacob.

"Richard, every hero fails to pull through beauty pass. You should think about it." some offered advice

to Richard.

Richard had a face like a fiddle. Jacob had become the second largest shareholder only next to

Richard after receiving the shares from Grandma Eva. Therefore, he had more say in decisions of the

company. Besides, he had spread the saying that Richard was unwilling to get revenge for their father Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

and established cooperation with the enemy. And the members of the board of directors bought it.

So, Richard was in a difficult circumstance in the company.

Richard came back home after work. He was both physically and mentally tired, which led to a fever in

the midnight.

He might have been dead if Cathy hadn't checked on him because of losing sleep.

"Richard, are you back?" Cathyopened the door and found it was silent inside. Usually, she could hear

the noise of the door when Richard came back from work. But she didn't hear any sound today, so that

she came to see if her son returned home out of concern.

She walked in the room and found Richard fell asleep without undressing. She tried to wake him up to

undress.

"Amy! Amy! Don't leave me." Richard suddenly grabbed Cathy. It startled her.

She felt the hand grabbing her was hot. And then she touched his forehead which was also hot. In a

hurry, she called the family doctor to treat him.

Richard didn't recover until three days later. During the three days, he was befuddled. He kept seeing

Amy was staring at him, but she was gone when he tried to reach her. He got into a flap, worrying that

Amy would leave.

He woke up finally when he held a hand. "Amy."

Watching her son was suffering, Cathy was wet with tears. He didn't stop shouting Amy during the

three days. Now he was holding her hand tightly.

"Richard, it's me, your mom." Cathy said to her son.

Richard opened his eyes, finding he was holding the hand of his mother, and felt disappointed.

"Son, do you want me to call her if you miss her so much?" Cathy was heart-broken and couldn't bear

to see his son in pain.

"Never mind. She's probably mad at me now. I will explain to her when it's appropriate." Richard shook

his head, telling his mother to stop worrying him.

"Or maybe I go and bring Allen here." Cathy also missed her grandson.

"Not now. I'm afraid that he will be infected by me." Richard shook his head again. He was concerned

about Allen's health.

"Well then, you have a rest. Hope you recover from the illness soon." Cathy wiped the tears. She

couldn't figured out why Richard and Amy had to break up even though they loved each other and why

they couldn't be together.

"Fabian, do me a favor. Please check who had been to 1808 Room in Hermosa Hotel on August 12th

seven years ago." Amy asked Fabian who majored in reconnaissance to help her.

"Yes, madam. I will complete the mission." Fabian was interested in it. He had been longing for

reconnoitering on his own. He used to reconnoiter under the lead of his adviser when he was an intern

in an armed police forces.

"I'll give you three months to figure it out, since it happened a long time ago." Amy said to him.

Then, he started working, leaving Finnley and Otto budgeting the money.

They worked out the budget after days of extra working. They were exhausted.

"Miss Newell, we have budgeted the money. Please take a look and see if there's anything needed to

add in." Finnley, with his black-ringed eyes, said to Amy.

"Why aren't you listening to me? I told you you have fifteen days to work on it, but you still finished it by

doing extra work. Can't you care more about your health?" Amy slapped the budget file down on the

desk.

Looking at Finnley's withered face, she guessed Otto must be the same. All she wanted was that the

staff worked dedicatedly, instead of working at cost of their health.

"Miss Newell, I'm a heady person. I can't sleep if I don't finish the task. Only can I rest assured when it's

done. Finnley was embarrassed, because he didn't mean to have Otto working extra hours with him.

"Forget it. Go home and get your sleep out. I will go for you two if there's any problem." Amy felt sore

for him.

"OK. I'm going home to take a shower and change clothes. Call me if you need me." Finnley was

desperate for a shower, though he was fatigued.

After he left, Amy started reading the budget plan produced by Finnely and Otto. she found it detailed.

They had considered every part of the project.

Amy thought she could undertake the project on her own as she read the total budget. She was

confident in the plan.

"Daria, ask the financial department to prepare materials for loans and the construction department to

purchase construction materials." Amy called her secretariat and gave orders to every department

concerned preparing for the construction.
