Chapter 90
Love Is Fair
Chapter 090 She Was on Fire in the hospital ward, Owen received the news as soon as the meeting in Crystaldate ended, âSo, she won blg?â âYeah.â Jose recounted the words of Hailey at the meeting, and couldnât help but be enraptured, âShe was on fire. She dissed Morgan and Reldâs asses off. Probably now they are spitting blood with anger.â Owen could not stop smiling as he listened. He had already known that how sharpâtongued she was. Even for he, her words were always irrefutable, let alone others. Jose added, âIt seems that the Mrs. Moore is really in her element working against her weakling uncles. The people we have sent there are not useful for the time being, and there is no need for you to do anything.â
There was a little lost in Owenâs eyes and he sighed imperceptibly. On the one hand, he appreciated Haileyâs boldness and severity, but on the other hand, the stronger and more independent she was, the less she needed him, leaving him with a sense of melancholy that he was useless to her anymore.
After a long time of silence, he ordered, âAsk someone to keep an eye on Morgan and Reid. Those two old guys are not smart, but they are used to snatching things from others. They were just bluffed by Hailey today, but they may not give up. We still have to pay attention to them.â âGot it.â Jose said, âI will ask people to watch carefully.â Owen gave a faint âhmmâ and looked down to work on the file, but Jose stood beside him, looking like he wanted to say something. âAnything else?â
Jose hesitantly said, âThe doctor said thereâs nothing serious going on with you. You can be discharged at any time.â
âOh.â Owen did not raise his head, signed his name on the last page of the document, and also took out the rose seal and stamped his name on the document. Then he said faintly, âThere is no rush. Iâm gonna stay for two more days and get more rest.â Jose immediately understood, âI see, then I will tell Ms.
Newman, the doctor said you need further examination, and have to stay in the hospital for two more days.â Owen was satisfied, âHmm. Go ahead.â Jose was just about to left, when Owen suddenly added, âBy the way, you tell her that I want to have some gastrodia fish soup, I heard that the soup is the most tonic for the brain.â âGot it...â Jose said, âYou really have lots of guts. You know her temper now, right?
And you still dare to make requests? Arenât you afraid sheâs gonna beat you up and throw you straight into the pot for fish soup?â
As soon as Hailey entered the office, the Vice President Ryker followed. During this period of time, Ryker was sent to the branch office in Peaceville by Hailey to take charge of a project. Actually it was kind of a demotion, just because he said something to Owen that should not be said and touched Haileyâs bottom line.
âMs Newman. I just learned that Morgan and Reid are back. They didnât give you a hard time, rlaht?â
His face was full of anxiety and worry.
Hailey turned on the computer but didnât say a word, Chris looked at them on the side and took over Rykerâs words, âItâs fine. They canât do anything to Ms. Newman They were crushed by Mr. Newman in a few words. Now they finally stop.â
âStop? You donât know them well. My uncles would never ever stop.â Hailey coldly said, making Chris stand straight Ryker raised his head, and looked very serious, âMs. Newman, please get me back to headquarters. I canât be at ease if not being around you at this time.â His eyes were fixed on Hailey, as if he was pleading with her.
No one could match Ryker for loyalty. This was also why her father had tried to cultivate him, and why she had transferred him to her side three years ago. Chris and Ryker were both her trusted subordinates, her valuable assistants. But the two did not share the same feelings for her.
Chris was taking her as a boss. He was just like a talent that recognized by her. With his strength and ability, he would not always be an assistant in the future. He would certainly be entrusted with important duties.
NAS dS And Ryker was more like taking her as a sister, or master. He was loyal to her, even sometimes to a foolish degree. But such emotions could easily let personal feelings prevail, which was why he took the initiative to find Owen last time and reveal her secret to him. Hailey could understand, but could not forgive him, so it was necessary to give him some punishment. âYour tasks and the project are all not yet completed. What would I let you come back?â Hailey was extremely indifferent and heartless, âI do not need you to stay by my side, I only need you to complete the tasks I have assigned to you, do your own job. Do you understand?â
âBut Ms. Newmanâ¦â
Ryker was still about to say something, but Chris immediately covered his mouth. He said to Hailey with a smile, âDonât be angry, Ms. Newman. Leave him to me.â Hailey sighed, âYouâre all giving me a hard time.â
CA Ten minutes later, Chris returned and said that after his lots of of good words, he finally persuaded Ryker to leave. He looked Hailey, and tentatively advised, âMs. Newman, he... is also for your own good, not on purpose. I think... how about just forgive him.â Hailey didnât even raise her head and said coldly, âOh? So youâre gonna plead for him?â Chris smiled shamefacedly, âMr. Page is very remorseful for last time. He blamed himself for talking too much and slapped himself twice. You should not be angry with him. You send him away at this critical time and he canât be around you, itâs really worse than killing him.â âYou feel sorry for him?â Hailey coldly said, âIf you make the same mistake as he did, I will definitely not place you in a branch, but directly send you to Africalla, you go eat sand in the desert.â
a Chrisâs face twitched, âDonât worry, as long as itâs not a badger game, I can hold it.â Hearing this, Hailey smiled and yelled, âScrew you.â Chris clumsily scratched his head. âAll right, stop bullshit.â Hailey reached for a file bag and handed it to Chris, âThis is the information of the Peaceville branch.
There are several projects that in Morganâs hand over the years. Ask Ryker to check and see if there is anything fishy or flawed in it.â Chris nodded and he was relieved, âI knew that you will not treat one of us like that. So youâre gonna make Ryker the Sherlock Holmes? Why not just tell him. He was freaked out just now.â âRyker is Sherlock Holmes then who am I?â Hailey gazed at him coolly. Chris said, âConan Doyle. No you, no him.â Hailey made a motion to beat him, but he dodged it.
All right, stop it.â Hailey said seriously, âAfter what happened today, Morgan and Reid will definitely not stop. You have people keep an eye on them. Let me know if you find anything.â Chris nodded and left.
Suddenly, the phone sang loudly. It was Jose calling. Haileyâs eyebrows were slightly knitted. She answered the phone, and listened to Jose say cautiously about Owenâs ârequestâ. Haileyâs pen between her fingers fiercely scratched the paper, and her eyes also flashed a cold light. She gritted her teeth and said, âGastrodia fish soup, right? Fine, Iâll make it for him, help him to go to heaven and become immortal!â
