Chapter 35 – Chapter 32: Ms. Dunn, Released by Mr. President’s Order
Listening to Richelle Dunn, who was speaking genuinely with no trace of humor on her face, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, Timmy will start saving for me like Timothy and Tifanny!”, she said, boldly moving aside to let Parker pick up the tab.
The young master, whose true intentions were revealed by her, turned his face contrary and pretended to look at the throat-soothing candies at the cashier’s counter, he picked up three cans of different flavors and tossed them into the cart.
…
Roy Lewis seemed to have slept longer than usual, it was nearly eleven o’clock when he woke up.
He seemed in better spirits than the previous days, the scars on his face faded a little. After freshening up, he went downstairs where Uncle Axel, who was directing the housekeepers in the living room, quickly brought him tea and snacks.
“Master Lewis, you’re awake?”
“Hmm, what about Timmy, has he been dropped off?”
Uncle Axel nodded, looking cautiously at Roy Lewis’ face, seeming hesitant.
Roy Lewis sat on the sofa, picked up the flower tea, and took a sip.
“What’s wrong?”
Only then did Uncle Axel speak, “Dr. Dunn’s house…uh… it’s a bit old…”
Roy Lewis responded with a “Hmm”, “It may look broken from the outside, but inside it is very clean and tidy. Besides, Richelle is very attentive to children, so there’s no need to worry.”
Uncle Axel remained uneasy. “Mrs. Collins and I thought of going in and taking a look, but Dr. Dunn didn’t allow us.”
Although Uncle Axel’s impressions of Richelle Dunn had improved significantly, Timmy Lewis was still a precious young master of the Lewis. They couldn’t be negligent.
“She has two children at home who aren’t fond of strangers, hence she did not let you two in?”
“Yes, that’s what she said.”
Although, the Timothy and Tifanny that Roy Lewis later encountered were very outgoing children, it was understandable that Richelle, as a parent, did not want her children to interact with unfamiliar people.
“Hmm, Timmy loves playing with them, I’ll pick him up later.”
“Master, aren’t you going back to the office later? The young master just sent a lot of food and toys over there. I made Goodey drive the camper van there, so you shouldn’t hassle back and forth.”
To this day, Uncle Axel is still haunted by the “critical illness notice”.
Roy Lewis thought for a moment, “I’ll see about that.”
Roy Lewis had not been to the office in a few days, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his omnipotent assistant Nathan Caroule, who had been on a business trip for a few days and just returned today, came forward to greet him.
Nathan Caroule was startled when he saw him, “Boss, your face…”
“Allergy!”, Roy Lewis, too lazy to explain, casually picked an excuse to cover it up.
Nathan Caroule responded with an “Oh,” and followed him to walk ahead.
“The mining policy in West Asia has changed. We need to send someone over to deal with it immediately. Otherwise, we will not be able to complete next month’s mining task.”
Normally, Roy Lewis would have made a trip in person as it would make solving the issue easier.
However, given his current situation, if he really left the country, his uncle would probably send a fighter plane to intercept him.
“You delegate your work to someone else, fly to West Asia tomorrow, and stop by the South Asia branch on your way back to inspect the assembly line in the factory. The quality there has been inconsistent lately, you should knuckle down on them.”
The two men returned to the office from the elevator after having discussed several work matters, Roy Lewis had just sat down when his secretary brought him his usual hand-made freshly brewed coffee.
He didn’t even look at it, “Change it to tea for me!”
The secretary utters an “Ah?” in surprise, thinking they heard wrong.
However, Nathan Caroule had heard quite a bit about Dr. Dunn from Uncle Axel and naturally knew about the boss willingly giving up coffee.
“Master Lewis has switched to tea, brew a cup of Big Red Robe for him.”
Roy Lewis glanced at him, “Uncle Axel told you?”
Nathan Caroule cheerily dragged a chair and sat down at his desk, “Uncle Axel also said that Dr. Dunn not only made our boss quit drinking coffee voluntarily, but also coaxed our difficult young master into being obedient.”
Nathan Caroule expected that his teasing would be denied by his boss.
Surprisingly, his boss nodded in agreement, “She really has a way with kids.”
Regarding her intent, based only on her method of education and communication, Roy Lewis agreed with Richelle Dunn.
Nathan Caroule’s eyes nearly fell out, “Wow, is this Dr. Dunn a divine being with three heads and six arms? She actually got a nod of approval from Boss Lewis?”
Roy Lewis ignored him, opened the emails on his computer, and started discussing work with him.
Nathan Caroule quickly became serious again, reporting briefly on the results of his business trip these days. Seeing that the time was almost up, he tidied up the files on his hand and prepared to go to the meeting.
Roy Lewis suddenly stopped him, “Yes, regarding the joint project with the Dunn Group, let’s put it on hold for now.”
Nathan was shocked once again, “Master Lewis, that project, the preliminary preparations are due to start at the end of next month, are we stopping it now?”
Not to mention the progress of the project itself, the partner of this project is the family of Miss Dunn who gave birth to Master Lewis’ beloved son.
“Temporarily put it on hold, I’ll follow up later.”
Nathan Caroule was a bit unsure of his boss’s intention for a moment. Was it to suppress the Dunns? Alternatively, was it to support the Dunns himself?
“Go do your own thing, I’ll attend the meeting at three.”
Nathan Caroule was silenced, dared not to say more, and turned to leave.
The phone on the desk rang, and Roy Lewis answered it.
“Mr. Lewis, the reception says that Miss Dunn from the Dunns wants to see you.”
“Tell her I’m on sick leave!”
After saying this, he hung up the phone with a click.
In the lobby on the first floor, the young lady at the reception received a reply from the secretary and said to the haggard Kiara Dunn in front of the desk.
“Miss Dunn, the secretary’s office replies that Mr. Lewis is on sick leave.”
Kiara Dunn thought of Roy Lewis’s bloody face angrily pointing at her, she leaned forward propping her hand on the table, and said anxiously.
“Miss, could you please ask which hospital Mr. Lewis is in?”
The receptionist smiled apologetically at her, “Miss Dunn, this is Mr. Lewis’s private matter, we cannot find out!”
Kiara Dunn had stayed in the detention center overnight and half a day, her face was extremely haggard, and the sexy beautiful dress she was wearing was wrinkled as if it was soaked in a pickle jar. She turned to leave in a daze.
She had not walked a few steps when she heard the receptionist’s low laughter.
“Is this the biological mother of the little prince? Poor thing, she gave birth to a child, but got nothing.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, in these years, the cooperation amount between the Lewis Group and Dunn Group has exceeded several billion dollars, this is not getting nothing.”
“Yes, if one fails to get the person, it’s not a crime to get more money. After all, the son has been sold!”
If it were usual, Kiara Dunn would definitely tear up the mouth of the person who spoke ill of her upon hearing such ridicule.
But today, she just forcibly suppressed her anger, clenched her fists at her sides, and cursed in her heart while gritting her teeth.
“Timmy Lewis you bastard, next time I’ll see if I don’t strangle you to death!”
She didn’t know that after Roy Lewis had witnessed her cruelty, he had made a decision quietly. Unless necessary, he would not let her meet his beloved son alone again.
And as a bystander with a mentality of enjoying the drama, Nathan Caroule, who has seen too many similar dramas over the years, could not help but ask one more question, driven by the gossip soul burning in his heart, after seeing his boss hang up the phone with a cold face.
“Master, which young miss of a noble family is it this time?”
Roy Lewis replied indifferently to him, “The Dunns!”
Nathan Caroule wished he could take back what he had just said, “Ahem, I’m going to the meeting…”
The issue of the Dunns was a no-touch zone. If he didn’t leave now, he was afraid that his own boss would want to kill him to silence him.
Roy Lewis didn’t keep him. After he went out and closed the door, he picked up the phone on his hand and dialed out again.
“Please compile and email me all our cooperation projects with the Dunn Group as soon as possible.”
Over the years, for the sake of his son, he has been very lenient towards the Dunn Group.
In his view, his beloved son is naturally incomparable to the value of these cooperative projects.
He was happy to give this to the Dunns, either as compensation or as a return.
However, Kiara Dunn’s actions yesterday made him very angry.
So, when he got back to the car yesterday, he called the police station to have Kiara Dunn detained for a few days as a lesson and warning for her.
But how did the police station release her today?
As Roy Lewis was thinking about making a phone call to ask, the police chief’s phone call came to his mobile phone.
“Master Lewis, I’m terribly sorry. Miss Dunn was released by the instructions of Mr. President!”
