Chapter 562: A Friend
Kane's eyes twitched.
After a while, he lowered his head and nudged Amora’s head.
"What do you mean ‘nonsense’? This is good!"
"Huh?"
"What are you guys standing around for? Amora has already done all the brainstorming for you and you still don't know what to do?" he said in a disgusted tone, glaring around at the senior executives of the company who were still loitering in the office.
The senior executives immediately came to their senses.
Their presence was no longer welcome.
They picked up the plans spread out on the table and walked out of the office with their heads ducked in embarrassment.
Wow, Mrs.Ronin is really clever! What a smart woman! After the senior executives had all left, a quiet peace descended over the office.
Amora was still standing at the head of the table, looking rather embarrassed.
"Sebby, earlier..."
"Why don't you just come and work for the company? We've just recently gone through a volatile time and most of our departments are understaffed...
I think you're very suited to do investment planning; Kane blurted out suddenly.
He reached out a hand to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind Amora's ears.
Amora was stunned into silence.
Work here? In this company? What about Rory Enterprise then? That's my own family's business.
I've never considered working here.
Wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, I'm not just any other person; I'm his wife.
Amora fretted to herself.
That was the difference between Amora and those other women.
Back then, Hallie had always hoped to use her relationship with Kane to attain a position in the company.
Roxanne, too, had always wanted to join the company.
Amora was the only woman who was averse to becoming a part of the company.
"What's wrong? You don't want to work for the company? Amora, this is a family business.You're my wife; shouldn't you help lighten my burdens? Do you want to see me get overworked and exhausted?"
Kane saw the reluctance on Amora's face and pouted.His handsome face became gloomy and he pulled his hand away from her unhappily.
Amora was rendered speechless.Why is he acting like a child? His expression changed so quickly!
"No, no, that's not what I meant.Listen to me.It's not that I don't want to help you out in the company.I'm just afraid that my presence here would reflect badly on you.After all, I'm not just any other person; I'm your wife."
"What's wrong with you being my wife? Can't my wife work for me?"
Huh!
"Or are you unwilling to work under me? That's not a problem! I'll let you have my position in the company.I'm fine with that."
He's getting more and more outrageous! Amora thought secretly to herself.
In the end, Amora could not refuse him and she gave in to his request to join the company.
Little did she know that Kane had asked her to join the company because after he had hugged her, he could no longer smell the perfume.
He was happy as long as he did not smell it.
A man's mind was sometimes just that simple.
Two days after that, Amora started working at Ronin Corporation.
The household affairs were handed over to Wendy and Sabrina.
What is the meaning of this? Am I, daughter of the Ronin family, not good enough for Ronin Corporation? Did he forget that I used to be in charge of Ronin Corporation? Sabrina thought angrily to herself when she heard about the turn of events.
At that moment, her nephews and niece ran up to her and said comfortingly, "Aunt Sabrina, don't be upset! Daddy asked you to stay home and look after us because he said this is the most important task!"
"Are you joking with me? Are the three of you rascals really the most important thing?"
"Of course not! The most important thing is Uncle Devin! Aunt Sabrina, let me tell you something.Today, I overheard Daddy talking as he was leaving for work.I heard him say that Uncle Devin will be coming over and he needs someone to receive him."
My God! Sabrina's eyes lit up when she heard the boy's words.
Is Devin really coming over? He really is the most important thing! Well, it seems my baby brother is treating me quite well.
Who else would be home to receive him but me? After that, she happily took her nephews and niece out to play.
Two hours later, the hospital called Kane.
"Mr.Ronin, would you be able to bring your mother in for an appointment today? I want check the effects of her last treatment"
"Today?" Kane frowned.
Ever since Amora started working in the company, it's really difficult to handle any family affair that requires an adult to carry out! Kane decided to take his mother to the hospital himself.
Frieda was happy to see Kane home again so soon.
"Sebby! Here, have some candy."
Giving him candy was the only way she knew how to express her feelings.
Kane stretched out his slender fingers and gently plucked the candy from her palm.
"Mom, we are going to the hospital together today"
"Okay, that sounds great! I'm going to the hospital with my Sebby!"
Frieda's face lit up with joy.She happily danced into her room and returned with a little basket hanging on her arm.Then, she looked at Kane expectantly.
The little basket had once belonged to Vivian.
The two of them played a game of hide-and-seek.
Vivian lost and she gave the basket to Frieda as a prize.
Kane looked at his mother.He was not quite sure what to feel.He glanced at the basket.
Then, he turned and merely said, "Let's go."
Frieda paused.
She seemed to be thinking hard about something.
Then, she suddenly turned back into the house.
Kane was flabbergasted by her sudden action. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
After waiting for a long while, Frieda reemerged again holding two pieces of cake wrapped in brown paper.
"Why are you bringing these with you? Are you afraid you'll get hungry on the way there?"
"No, I'm bringing it for Amora’'s friend" Frieda said casually.
There was no clarity to be seen in her eyes.
