Chapter 18

Yes, Ms. Perez. Every year, you and Mr. Pearson sing the opening love song together. This year is no exception, right?”

My head felt heavy. I hadn’t been to the company for the past half month. Were they trying to make my head explode with so many questions?

Leland showed some concern.

He came to me and stood in front of me, protecting me.”Alright, my little princess has just arrived, and you all threw questions at her. I haven’t even had a chance to talk to her yet. Aren’t you worried that I will get jealous?”

The crowd burst into laughter.”Mr. Pearson, we just miss Ms. Perez so much. You two can talk when you are home alone, right?”

Yes, we have been witnessing your love for almost twenty years, so please spare us!”

Leland held my hand and helped me out.

“Okay, the annual meeting will proceed as usual. Give the project drafts to Kay. As for you guys, report tomorrow if you have any matters. Don’t exhaust Kay.”

The crowd complained, “Oh, not this again! Mr. Pearson, you are too protective!”

I watched as Leland helped me deal with all the disturbances. I smiled slightly and said, “Everyone, don’t worry. I will handle the company’s affairs one by one and visit the clients in a few days.”

Leland didn’t want me to get tired, so he drove them away and held me on his lap.

I felt extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t feel cherished and cared for by him anymore.

Behave yourself. Your leg is almost becoming my seat. What if someone sees it?”

Leland pinched my face and said, “You have been sitting here for so many years, and everyone in the company knows that this is your position. My little princess, are you being shy now? You used to stick to me every day and weren’t worried that someone would see it.”

I awkwardly smiled and then felt a touch of sourness inside.”I am just worried that I won’t be used to it without you!”

Leland was taken aback, and then he cunningly argued, “Without me? What do you mean? I am right by your side; you can hold my hand at any

Ha!” I found that I couldn’t laugh anymore. The smile on my face must look ugly.

My eyes felt a little warm. Afraid that Leland would overthink it, I quickly changed the subject.
