She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1146

Chapter 1146 Waiting for You

When Leon left, he didn't notice the figure standing at the corner of the elevator. After he was gone, the figure walked straight to the CEO's office.

Jacob heard a knock on his door and thought it was Leon coming back. He looked down at his files and asked, "What brings you back?"

"It's me, Mr. Wood," said Tommy, one of Jacob's trusted associates who Sage had taken note of in their private room that night.

"Tommy?" Jacob was surprised because Tommy rarely came to see him alone. He wasn't particularly bright but he had a strong sense of loyalty which made Jacob trust him implicitly. "What happened?"

But as soon as Jacob asked this question, Tommy hesitated and lost his earlier confidence.

"What is it?" Jacob walked over with interest when he saw that something serious must have happened to make this usually wooden man look so grave.

"Mr. Wood," said Tommy slowly after some hesitation. "Do you plan on abandoning us in the future?"

Jacob laughed wryly, "Why would you think that way?"

Tommy frowned for a moment before continuing, "A while ago when I was drinking with Leon and others... I overheard something... and I just wanted to ask you about it."

"Oh? What did they say?" asked Jacob raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Mr. Wood," began Tommy carefully. "I'm not trying to cause trouble or anything like that, but even though everyone knows how loyal Leon is towards you... he still said something like this..."

"He said what exactly?" The patience in Jacob's voice started wearing thin by now.

"Leon said we're all just thugs who don't belong here in such an upstanding company like yours, so once everything is done here, there might be a possibility that those who know your true identity will be..." But before finishing his sentence, Tommy glanced up at Jacob's face instead.

Jacob smiled; he understood what Tommy wanted to say next.

"Get rid of you when I'm done with that?".

He never expected Leon would have such thoughts but then again, Jacob could understand why. Leon was not only one of those closest associates who knew him best, but also someone who had introduced other brothers into his circle. He may be impulsive sometimes, but always stood by him through thick and thin. So given their current situation, it wasn't surprising for him to think ahead about what might happen next. And truthfully speaking, Jacob couldn't help but admit that Leon really understood him too well!

Tommy didn't dare nod his head in agreement.

"Who else was drinking that night?" Jacob asked again.

Tommy thought for a moment and listed all the brothers who had been drinking with them that night, specifically mentioning Sage. "Everyone's demeanor seemed off at the time, but in the end, it was Sage who calmed everyone down. He told us not to worry about the future and focus on doing well for you now. Our future will naturally be taken care of."

"Sage said that?" Jacob laughed as he didn't expect him to defend himself behind his back.

"He did everything he could for you," Tommy agreed.
