Sweet Love novel Chapter 26

Macy doesn’t sleep well all night, tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep in the early morning. As expected, there are some obvious black circles as she wakes up.

She rapidly gets washed, puts on makeup, and then goes downstairs. To her surprise, her mother is busying in the kitchen now.

When she sees Macy, she immediately serves a bowl of millet porridge and some steamed stuffed buns with joy, "My Sweetie, let’s have some breakfast."

Macy is stunned, "Mom…you cook this?"

"Impossible! I just bought it near our neighborhood. Hurry up and eat it before it goes cold!"

Since the Downey's bankruptcy, Macy has rarely seen her mother so happy. Sitting at the dining table, she asks "Mom, why are you so excited today?"

"I was very lucky last night and won some money by playing Mahjong..."

With the spoon in the hand, Macy pauses and looks at her mother, "Mom, I told you we couldn't gamble anymore."

Her mother waves, showing her objection, "It’s not a terrible game at all. Winning and losing are both normal. You don't have to worry about it, Macy. I have a card up my sleeve "

Macy's face darkens, realizing that she is unable to persuade her mother, and she doesn’t want to talk more nonsense. After quickly drinking the porridge in the bowl and saying goodbye to her mother, Macy leaves home.

Before she never noticed that her mother is so addicted to gambling; besides, the current situation is very complicated, and they don't have enough money to join in this kind of game. Unfortunately, her mother does count on mahjong now.

Stopping thinking, Macy sighs and hurries to the Penn’s.

On the 22nd floor, she puts down the bag and deliberately walks around the door of the president's office. It seems empty, so Yusef might have not arrived yet.

Macy goes back, prepares all the documents needed by Yusef in the morning according to the schedule, puts them in the upper right corner of his desk, then returns to her own office and continues to look through the documents of the South Sea Project.

Soon there is a noise outside the door. Macy goes to check quickly, but she only sees Yusef's back, being followed by two subordinates who seems to be reporting something.

It happens that Yolanda Sue walks out of the office with some documents and tries to keep up with Yusef. As seeing Macy, Yolanda stares stonily at her, "I need to attend a morning meeting with Mr. Penn now. Don't idle away your time please. Go to confirm Mr. Penn’s afternoon schedule!"

"No problem." Macy responds, and takes a deep look at Yusef before turning back to the office.

She makes up her mind last night, which is that she doesn't want to be a deserter, and she would like to use her own strength to improve little by little. Macy wants to tell Yusef of this decision in person.

Macy goes to confirm Yusef's itinerary, but the person who is going to meet in the afternoon needs to deal with some urgent matters suddenly, so his assistant proposes to change the meeting time. She notes it down, at the same time arranges a schedule that could be carried out for the time left in the afternoon, plans to report to Yusef after the early meeting and let him decide.

Almost one hour later, the early meeting is over. Macy hears something from the next door and immediately goes to that office. After knocking on the door, she finds that there are Yusef and another strange man.

This man is about forty years old: fine shades of grey streaking his dark hair, the silver-gray mercerized shirt covered with an exquisite suit, being well-dressed but having stern eyes, revealing a dignified appearance.

Noticing that Macy come in, the man’s gaze pauses on her, then turns to Yusef, "New secretary?"

"Yup." Yusef replies blandly, and then looks towards Macy, "Two cups of coffee please, one without sugar."

"Sure, just a second."

Macy replies softly, while a smile spreads over her face. She slowly leaves the room.

When she brings two cups of coffee into the room, Yusef and the man are still discussing.

"Mr. Rayburn, you really worked hard this time. Although the technical consultation abroad takes a little longer, it turns out well. ."
