My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 218

No one dared to ask, and there was no need to.

If their boss was in a good mood, their lives would be easier. They couldn't wait for the boss to smile so happily every day.

Sergio did not stay in the meeting room for long.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

When Sergio received the news from Madison that she had arrived, he got up from his chair, took his phone, and quietly left with a smile. He threw the project reflection to John.

However, no matter how quiet Sergio tried to be, he was still the big boss. He could not help but attract the attention of many, including John.

John coughed lightly and rapped on the table to draw everyone's attention back. "Keep going."

Everyone turned their attention back. The meeting continued.

John's thoughts drifted.

His father had always cared about his image when he was outside. He always had a dark expression even when he was in a somewhat serious situation. Other than his mother coming to the company to visit him, Sergio had never lost his composure.

However, since his mother's health deteriorated, she rarely came out of the family residence, let alone came to the company to see his father.

If it wasn't his mother...

John thought of another possibility, and his expression suddenly softened. He ignored the employees still talking about the PowerPoint presentation and got up. "That's all for today's meeting. Each group can keep records of the meeting. We will find time to continue tomorrow. Also, try not to work overtime tonight. If there's anything else, deal with it in time or tomorrow."

Then, John took his phone and left.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.

Those who weren't curious had already left with their laptops. They were all smiles as they were glad they did not have to work overtime today and could go back early to sleep.

Those who were curious asked John's assistant, Serena Bright, in a low voice, "Miss Bright, is there any good news today? Why did Mr. Daves leave without even finishing the meeting? He even told us not to work overtime. It's amazing!"

Serena was helping John to pack up the laptop and documents on the table. When she heard that, she replied coldly without raising her head, "It's Mr. Daves's private matter. How would I know?"

One of them did not give up. "Tsk. Who doesn't know that you have been with Mr. Daves for seven years, Miss Bright? You have been with him since he took over the company. If you don't know, who knows?" The teasing words made Serena frown slightly.

Serena carried the laptop and looked up at the person coldly. "Since you're so curious, why don't you ask Mr. Daves directly? You're not as diligent about work as you are about Mr. Daves's private matters." With that, Serena left, not even bothering to look the latter.

"What's there to be arrogant about? She's been with Mr. Daves for so many years, but I've never seen Mr. Daves take notice of her. She's just a lousy assistant, not his wife. Why is she so arrogant? She can't be the CEO's wife even if she wanted. She's also hot-tempered. When Mr. Daves marries some rich family's daughter, let's see if she won't be sent packing!" the man cursed as he packed up his stuff.

At the door, Serena lowered her gaze slightly. Her expression was calm, and no one could tell what she was feeling.

Serena did not leave immediately. Instead, she turned around and returned to the meeting room. "Mr. Hamish, why didn't you say this in front of me just now? No matter how bad my temper is, I've been working for Mr. Daves for seven years. What about you? How long have you been in the company? What have you achieved? If you leave before me one day, do you think it's more embarrassing for me, a lousy assistant who can't be the wife of the CEO, or for you, an overseas graduate?"

Serena smiled at the man and left.

As for the string of curses coming from behind her, Serena was no longer interested in listening.

Outside the office of the CEO of the Quadmart Group, the arrival of Madison and Charlie made it suddenly lively. They kept going on about how cute children were.

When others praised him, Madison would chime in, too. Charlie blushed furiously.

Charlie was already shy and did not like to talk. He was currently surrounded by many beautiful ladies praising him. He felt at a loss. Charlie hid behind Madison and did not dare to speak.

Madison could tell that Charlie was shy and did not stay any longer.

Children were not tools for others to have fun. Everything could become too much.

If Charlie was given too much praise, he might be arrogant. If he was scolded too much, he would be suppressed. Madison brought Charlie out to make him happy, not to make him afraid of being praised. When it was about time, Madison took Charlie away.

Of course, she did not forget to distribute the food in her hands to the assistant and secretaries of the CEO.

Before Madison came, she could not resist buying snacks at the entrance of the school. Although Charlie tried his best to dissuade her, Madison could not control her urge to spend.

Because they were at the entrance of the kindergarten, the food was relatively clean. There were hot dogs, cupcakes, and other pastries.

Charlie rejected the snacks. Madison tried one or two on the way and distributed the excess to everyone so it would not go to waste.

It was just that there were only a few food trucks at the entrance. If there were more, she would eat to her heart's content.

Madison had missed those delicacies so much during the three years she was overseas.

The next two years were fine. With

the love of the Daves family, she could get whatever he wanted. It

was just that it took a lot of time and

energy, and the taste was not

authentic. She sighed helplessly.

The first year was miserable. Madison did not have much money and could not contact Leo. She could call Greg and Amber, but she could not ask the two elders for money. She could only endure it.

Occasionally, Madison would earn a

little money from her part-time job and have an excess in her monthly budget. Only then would Madison dare to find a restaurant claiming to have authentic tastes as hero hometown to satisfy her cravings.

After tasting it, Madison realized they did not taste as she remembered. They could claim to be 'authentic' because there was nowhere better than theirs.

No matter what, those foods could not be compared to delicacies from home.

Madison might as well buy the ingredients herself and cook them at home.

However, the place Madison lived in was dilapidated. When she cooked occasionally, she would be

discovered by the landlord who

would call the police. It was unbearable. Madison could only

endure the inadequate taste in that

restaurant which was also

expensive.

Fortunately, after much suffering, good things came to her. Thinking back on the past, it was a good experience.

When Serena entered the CEO's office with her laptop, she was greeted by such a scene.

Sergio was holding Charlie's hand and talking to his grandson with a smile. Charlie, on the other hand, was hugging the neck of a beautiful lady affectionately. Meanwhile, John had his back facing Serena as he talked to the lady with his head lowered. However, Serena could tell that John was very doting. He even reached out to touch her head. Serena's mind went blank. She did not know what to do and stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Had John finally... found someone he liked? And Charlie seemed to like the woman very much. Even a picky person like Sergio seemed to dote on her.

'That's nice,' Serena thought. 'They're one family...'

"Miss, are you going to put down the documents and laptop?" Madison asked.

Serena was in a daze until she was spoken to by Madison. She looked up and saw Madison's face clearly.
