He was holding a beautiful woman with his left hand while his right hand was clutching an adorable child. They walked into the conference room under everyone’s shocked gazes. Besides the ground- stepping sound coming from this family of three, there were no other noises heard in the room.
At that moment, everyone had different thoughts. Some became onlookers and were ready to witness the family drama unfold while others silently lamented for the two people who just fought for the president’s position. In fact, there were some who were already worried about their precarious position. Glancing at Eugene, Merlin asked aloud, “Are you alright?”
Eugene replied, “I’m fine!” With a puzzling look on his face, Edward stared at Eugene, who was slowly approaching him. The doubts in his heart were more than his regrets for not gaining the position of president. Edward was fine with it since he did not have much interest in the position in the first place. He fought for it mainly because he did not want to disappoint Lara. Nonetheless, Eugene still naturally would be the company’s president now that he had returned.
In comparison to the fight for the position, Edward was more puzzled when he saw that Eugene was really fine. Judging from his state that day, I really thought he was going to die soon. Now, he stands here looking fine. Although Edward was not very delighted, he was still considerably relieved anyway. With that, his mood was still inexplicably more relaxed.
However, Lara squinted her eyes in a fierce manner as she looked at Eugene’s high-spirited appearance. He doesn’t look like someone who’s about to die soon. Could it be that he arranged everything on purpose?
At once, Curtis immediately ordered someone to move three chairs over. Then, he placed them beside Merlin sequentially. Eugene first pulled out the chair and allowed Olivia to sit down before North followed. Finally, he took his own seat. After that, he scanned the people in the room without saying a word. Even the shareholders were too afraid to meet his eyes. They avoided his gaze when Eugene looked over.
After a long time, Eugene gradually started speaking, “Turn off your phone during my meeting. Keep quiet, and don’t let me hear things that are non-related to the meeting. Is everyone clear?”
In a swift, everyone obeyed and switched off their phones. Then, they sat properly and quietly in their seats, fearing that their names would be called out..
Looking at everyone, Eugene held a pen in his hand, spinning it leisurely. Secretly observing Eugene, North followed him and spun the pen in his hand. However, the pen fell off without spinning a full circle.
In the quiet conference room, only the sound of North’s pen falling on the table was heard. Olivia angrily glared at the mischievous little fellow.
In the meantime, Eugene also glanced at North with a soft expression. Holding the pen in front of him, Eugene demonstrated his pen-spinning action in slow motion.
And thus, North followed Eugene’s example and did it again. However, he still failed. Seeing that, Merlin laughed heartily. Then, he said, “North, come and sit down at my side. I’ll teach you.”
Upon hearing that, North responded by saying, “Okay!” Hence, he took the pen, took his computer, and slipped his butt off the chair. Since Curtis was very sensible, he helped North move his chair to Merlin’s side..
At the same time, Eugene also stood up to make room for him. As such, his seat position was no longer in the middle. This whole tender act completely shocked everyone, making their jaws drop. Is this our stern-faced president? How can he actually be so considerate and pampering? Wasn’t he just ordering us to keep quiet a while ago?
In an instant, everyone’s gazes landed on Olivia and North again. How much love does he have for them to the point that he can pamper other people’s children like his own? No! We’re afraid that we can’t even pamper our own children to this extent. Not only does he bring them along with him to the meeting, but he even humbled himself in front of them!
Disregarding the emotional turmoil in everyone’s heart, Eugene said again, “All the shareholders are here, am I right? What sort of a mega-scaled project to discuss that it was necessary to alert my aging Grandpa to this state?”
