She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 People Don't Act for Themselves

Sage lowered his head, showing the most respectful attitude. He replied, "Mr. Wood, I have done wrong to you before. Not only did you not hold a grudge, but you also continued to use me. I cannot repay this kindness and can only hope to do something for you by paying extra attention to Nia and Kevin's movements."

"Mr. Wood, Sage has always been thinking about how to make amends," Leon patted Sage's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't think too much about it. You are all people that I brought back from the USA. You know my background and my goals well enough not to have any doubts like Nia and Kevin do towards me. Just work hard without any psychological burden," Jacob said.

"Thank you, Mr. Wood!" Sage was filled with gratitude.

"You heard him! Work hard!" Leon encouraged Sage.

"Since you have this intention," Jacob continued speaking after being limited by Miles in some matters that he couldn't handle himself anymore. "I will leave the task of monitoring Nia and Kevin up to you. Leon, tell other men if there is anything Sage need help with."

Sage was stunned; this was unprecedented as only Leon had such authority before.

"Don't forget to thank Mr. Wood!" Leon reminded him while smiling at his surprised expression.

"Yes, Mr. Wood! I will definitely not let down your expectations!" Sage quickly expressed his loyalty after realizing what had happened.

"Well then, no need for formalities anymore. When talking with me in the future, be careful around Rhys and their group. Report anything privately if there is an issue." After giving these instructions, Jacob dismissed both Leon and Sage. As Miles wanted someone else protecting him now, Jacob saw no reason why he should resist. This would allow them all more important tasks anyway. However, sitting on his chair, Jacob looked out of the window absentmindedly. He still felt like Libby had changed somehow since she returned, but he couldn't put a finger on what exactly was different about her.

After leaving the CEO's office, Leon glared fiercely at Rhys, Thomas, and others guarding outside before taking an elevator together with Sage. Inside, Leon patted on Sage's shoulder while smiling broadly. "Sage, you're amazing! I didn't expect that from you. You've finally gained recognition from Mr. Wood today."

"Leon, don't tease me. You know what I'm afraid of..." Sage said with a bitter smile. "I treat you like a brother and don't want to hide anything from you. I fear Mr. Wood more than I respect him, afraid that one day if I become useless, he will throw me away like a discarded pawn... That's why..."

"Hey..." Leon listened to Sage's words and not only was he not angry but also felt the same way, "I know what you're talking about. We haven't been following Mr. Wood for long, but I've known his personality for a long time now. I never dared to tell my men because they would think too much like you do - that they can only stay by Mr. Wood's side if they are useful; once they are useless, he won't show any mercy towards them. This is something that I am clearer than anyone else on, but it is also because of this trait that he can achieve great things in life! Although we are walking on thin ice right now, once we make it out alive, we will be among the elite."

"That's why I'm scared; plus my leg is lame..." Sage became more and more depressed as he spoke.

"As long as your mind is sharp!" Leon laughed and said, "You have already shown yourself to be better than other men by paying attention to Nia and Kevin's movements. I believe in you!"

"Well then, I'll try my best to get this done so that at least become someone useful!" Sage seemed inspired by Leon's words.
