Chapter 393 As You Wished
In the afternoon, Leah inspected the work of various departments as usual.
When she arrived at the human resources department, she was actually out of breath. She leaned
against the wall to rest for a while.
Her legs were numb from all the walking.
Ross empathized with her; he said, "Ms. White, you don't have to inspect daily; you can always ask me
to do it on your behalf."
She smiled and shook her head, and she replied, "No, I'm the acting CEO; I've got to know how the
company works clearly."
"And, I should make sure all the employees are happy and healthy at work, so that they can perform
their best."
Ross was touched and taken aback; he said, "Alright, I'll be with you. This is the last department;
please have a good rest after this."
He felt unfairly treated by her; she was a very good and responsible boss who did her job well, but the
top-level management still wanted to target her.
They're unacceptable!
I'm so going to complain to Mr. Hendrik if they do it again!
After inspecting the last department, she went back to her office to make a summary for her report.
Most of the workers were not happy with their pay; they asked for a raise.
She looked at the results of her investigation; she could make adjustments for most of them.
But she had to get Hendrik's permission for the salary adjustment.
When she was lost in her thoughts, her office door was pushed open. Hendrik, wearing a black
windbreaker and a full-face mask, came up to her.
She was surprised to see him, and she exclaimed, "Hendrik, you're here!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHan was shocked to see how eager she was to see him; he had a complicated look underneath the
mask. "Did you miss me that much?"
Don't tell me that she falls in love with this identity of mine...
She shook and showed him the employee survey form seriously. She said, "This is the result of my
inspection from the past two days; the employees are asking for a raise."
"I compared the average salary for the same job position among several companies; our employees
stayed despite the lower pay because they think that the White Group is a huge and reliable company."
"Jackson did not pay them well when he was in control of the White Group."
Han did not pay attention to her nagging; instead, he glared at her swollen palm and asked with a
frown, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Why is she always hurt when I'm not around? One minute she's kidnapped... and the next minute she's
injured...
"Can't you take better care of yourself?"
She just realized that her hands were reddened and swollen; she frowned and pondered. "This is an
accident, and a few staffers from the top-level management intended to stir trouble; I wanted to show
my dominance..."
"But I accidentally hit the table too hard; I didn't realize it until you asked me about it."
She put her hands behind her back in embarrassment.
She was worried that Hendrik would laugh at her for doing such a thing.
Han was lost for words after hearing her explanation.
He was both angry and speechless at the same time. He grabbed her hand to check on her. "It's
nothing; you should apply some medicine and you will be fine."
Even though he was wearing tulle gloves, she could still feel his hands temperature.
She nodded obediently with a smile, and she said, "Thank you; I'll go back first. Please think about
giving the employees a raise to avoid losing them.
He grabbed her arms and pulled her to his side. He said coldly, "I'll send you."
She completely regarded him as a good friend, so naturally she did not refuse. "Okay, please drop me
at..."
"To my villa."
She was stunned at being interrupted by him. "It's okay; I'll just go back to my villa."
She could not stop thinking about the awkward thing she had done the other day in his villa.
She did not want to get into his bed, but he was making it sound like she was.
Han directly rejected her suggestion; he said, "Tomorrow morning you will go on a business trip with
me to another city, and you still need to read through the documents tonight."
"Or, do you want to read it with your daughter?"
Leah replied helplessly, "Alright."
She could only agree with him since he said so.
She called Carlotta after arriving at his villa. "Carlotta, I won't be back tonight. You should sleep early,
alright?" She spoke softly to her.
Carlotta said in dissatisfaction, "Huh? You and Daddy are not coming back? I'm so bored... I'll watch
television to go to sleep."
Hearing her words, she said, "Stop watching all those unhealthy dramas...."
Wait… Han is also not back at the villa?
"Carlotta, where's Ha… your Daddy?" She frowned.
Hendrik was walking down the stairs at the time, holding a document.
His similar body figure to Han's made her heart throb.
This was the first time she realized that when Hendrik was around, Han would be totally silent.
If she really stayed at the other man's place, he would have gone crazy.
After talking with Carlotta for a while, she wished her goodnight and hung up the phone.
Han handed her the documents after she was not on the phone. "There will be an important auction
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtomorrow; this is the list of the powerful guests as well as the auction collection. Please remember
them clearly…"
"Hendrik, what's your relationship with Han?" She interrupted him with a complicated look.
There were too many similarities between the two of them; she could not stop herself from suspecting
them.
"Why do you ask this again? Are you wondering if we are the same person?" He said it with a faint
smile.
Leah felt guilty when she heard him say it out loud. "No…"
Logically speaking, there should not be such an outrageous thing. After all, the two of them sounded
different.
He approached her again, and he said, "Take off my mask to see if we're the same person."
"You're allowed to take my mask off." He stood still in front of her.
She tiptoed and reached out for his mask. But she suddenly hesitated.
I can accept it if they're a different person. But if they're the same person... I might not be able to
accept it.
After all, Hendrik is my perfect best friend; he's nothing like Han.
She was afraid of the result.
"It's alright; you're who you are. You can take it off when you feel like it…" She withdrew her hands, and
she was lost.
This might be my only chance of seeing his real face...
She was regretting her decision, but she was also afraid.
Han knew that she was under suspicion, so he did not want to hide it anymore. He said lightly, "You
can see my face whenever you want; you don't have to climb into my bed anymore."
"From this moment onward, if you want to know, you can know who I really am."
