Chapter 467

Thirty minutes had passed.

Cedric furrowed his brows, clearly annoyed. "How much longer must I wait? Why doesn't Kenny just have my wife move into his tech department?" Under her breath, the secretary whispered,"Kenny would appreciate that, but aren't you the one who would hate it?"

She kept her voice low.

She was well aware that Cedric was genuinely angry.

After forty minutes, Cedric's expression turned stormy.

His observant secretary exclaimed with a dramatic sigh."Oh dear."

Cedric's eyebrows knitted together even tighter.

Then, the secretary said, "Kenny is so careless. How could he leave the documents that needed signing up here? I need to take them down to him."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the documents disappeared from her hands.

She watched Cedric walk towards the elevator. With a smirk, the secretary followed him, saying."Mr Phillips, please excuse my honesty. As a man,you shouldn't be too proud. Your wife offered you a way out earlier, but you turned it down. Now, you're chasing after her yourself. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Cedric briefly closed his eyes.

The secretary struggled to hold back her laughter.

In negotiations, Cedric was always composed,yet now he couldn't remain seated for forty minutes.

Daniela was amazing!

She was not only a titan in the business world but also very skilled at managing her husband.

The secretary admired Daniela deeply once again.

Cedric exited the elevator quickly, adjusting his tie as he entered the tech department.

In the server room, Kenny was smiling at a screen filled with code.

Cedric looked around but didn't see Daniela anywhere

"Mr. Phillips, what brings you here?" Kenny asked.

Cedric's face showed clear annoyance. "Where is Daniela?"

Kenny gestured upstairs. "The finance manager needed her. He was puzzled by a tax incentive policy and required her expertise for some financial framework design. So, he took her."

Cedric's expression grew darker.

He rushed upstairs, finding Daniela in the conference room, explaining the tax framework to the finance manager.

Before Cedric could get close, the finance manager hurried over, pleading, "Mr. Phillips, please! I don't need my bonus this month. Just let me work wvith your wife for a while,okay?"

Cedric narrowed his eyes. "I married my wife to cherish her, not to let her handle your ordinary tasks."

The finance manager looked shocked and disheartened. "Mr. Phillips, what are you saying?How can you refer to the work of the finance department as just ordinary tasks? Please, let her assist me. Do l need to get on my knees?"

Cedric took a deep breath before pulling up a chair and sitting down.

Fine.

He would wait.

He should have accepted Daniela's peace offering earlier. Now, he had to wait at the door like a bystander. How irritating!

Throughout the afternoon, every Phillips Group employee who walked past the finance department witnessed their CEO, dressed in a suit, sitting on a bench with his arms crossed,eyeing everyone with a cold gaze.

His secretary had to leave for a while to attend to some matters.

Two hours went by.

Cedric, unable to sit still any longer, stood up and peeked into the conference room.

Fantastic!

The entire finance department was there, focused on Daniela's presentation on her new financial model.

Cedric had never felt such regret in his life. Had he known,he would have never started a company.

While Cedric made a quick trip to the restroom, the people in the conference room changed.

The finance department had made way for the marketing department.

"Ma'am, could you go over your spiral market competition concept once more?"

The room was packed to its full capacity with the marketing department. When the secretary returned, he found Cedric squeezed at the doorway and thoughtfully offered him a chair, whispering, "Mr. Phillips, maybe we should head back to your office? It seems like this session isn't going to wrap up any time soon."

Cedric's face was unreadable. He scoffed, "Head back upstairs? If I do, the next group to come in will be the admin department."

As soon as he finished speaking, the admin manager arrived with a notebook followed by a team.

Cedric, visibly irritated, pointed to a spot behind him and told the smiling admin manager, "Line up over there!"

Despite the crowded room, Cedric didn't feel like leaving. Eventually, someone cleared a spot for him in a corner.

He sat there, his expression stern, observing Daniela as she stood at the center of the group.

Daniela was remarkably insightful. She simplified the company's complex issues and used short stories to make her points relatable.

With a gloomy expression, Cedric said to his secretary."Isn't Daniela just saying the same things as I said?"

The secretary was surprised. "Mr. Phillips, your explanations are highly professional. They're enlightening once we understand them, but what your wife shares feels like a sudden revelation for everyone.

That was indeed the case.

Cedric was outstanding, like the luminous moon in the sky,shedding its light gradually.

Daniela's explanations, however, were like the soft rain of spring, subtly enlightening.

Naturally,everyone favored Daniela.

Someone in the crowd appropriately told Daniela,"lt would be wonderful if you worked at Phillips Group."

This suggestion was met with nods of agreement from everyone.

Cedric let out a cold laugh from his corner, his smile chilling.

As the workday drew to an end, the group was still hesitant to leave.

Cedric gave his secretary a look.

The secretary quickly understood. "Everyone! It's timne to close up for today."
