Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Her heart ached unbearably….

On Monday, a vice president at the Livingston Group quietly submitted his resignation, citing a family emergency.

The HR department reported that he was eager to leave, saying the remaining procedures could be handled online.

The HR manager reminded him with a smile, “Carolyn Martinez,

our company doesn’t have a process for that. Please wait a

little while.”

Hearing this, Carolyn could only nod awkwardly, sitting down

and nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Just a few minutes after he sat down, the door to the HR

department opened.

Several uniformed investigators entered and walked straight toward Carolyn.

“You’re Carolyn, right?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

Chapter 223

“We received a tip that you’re suspected of leaking secrets from

the Livingston Group. Please come with us to cooperate with

the investigation.”

In an instant, Carolyn’s face turned deathly pale.

His body went limp, and he was practically dragged out by the

investigators.

Everyone at the Livingston Group came out to watch the

commotion, unable to resist whispering among themselves.

“What happened to Carolyn? Did he get into some trouble?”

“I heard he leaked company secrets. It must be about that last

bid.”

“Oh my god, so Carolyn was the mole in the company?

Then he must have been behind that incident with the branch

office, too.”

“Definitely. And to think we’ve been wrongly accusing Chase all

this time…”

“That’s horrible. Good thing it didn’t affect the relationship

between the CEO and Chase.”

Chapter 223

At this moment, the CEO’s wife they were talking about,

Daquan, was cuddling in the office.

When Gerry came in to report on the matter, he didn’t know

where to look.

“Um, Roderick, the person has been taken away. I’ll follow up on

the situation later and report back if there are any issues.”

On the sofa, the two of them were sitting together, with

Madeleine completely encircled in Roderick’s arms, looking at

the same phone.

Hearing Gerry’s words, Roderick didn’t even lift his head.

“Got it.”

“Okay. By the way, Roderick… um.”

Gerry rubbed his nose. “About that paid leave you mentioned

last time… was that for real?”

Madeleine looked up when she heard this.

“Paid leave?

Chapter 223

That’s great. But Gerry has been working so hard, he really

should take some time to relax.”

Gerry was so moved he could have cried.

It was worth bringing it up specifically while Chase was present.

Chase really was the best human shield!

Roderick looked up, glancing first at Madeleine, then turning his

head to look at Gerry.

“What, you think I’d go back on my word?”

“No, no, of course not!”

Gerry smiled awkwardly.

Roderick saw right through my little scheme~

Roderick looked away and said calmly and generously, “Two

weeks at most. I’ll reimburse your expenses personally.”

Gerry’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Thank you, Roderick!

Thank you, Chase!”

Chapter 223

Long after Gerry had left, Madeleine still hadn’t processed it,

asking Roderick strangely:

“Why was he thanking me for no reason?”

“I don’t know.”

Roderick shrugged, and the two of them went back to cuddling

and looking at the phone.

Not two days later, Madeleine was starting to regret speaking

up for Gerry and getting him the time off.

No one had told her how busy Roderick would become without

Gerry around

He usually completed most of his daily work with Gerry’s help.

Without his right–hand man, most of the work now fell to

Roderick himself.

Madeleine had also asked if he didn’t have any other special

assistants besides Gerry.

There really weren’t any.

It turned out Gerry’s experience wasn’t something just anyone

Chapter 223

could replace.

As a result, Roderick was so swamped he didn’t even have time

to eat his meals at home.
