CHAPTER 296
"You came to see me today, standing right in front of them. It can't just be out of curiosity; even that pales in comparison to the benefits that drive your actions," Thomas said, his tone sharp. Lucas paused for a moment, considering his words. He was right; the negotiations with David had reached a dead end. It would be more straightforward to confront Thomas directly. "You're clever, but you don't think things through as he does. Sooner or later, you're going to regret it," Thomas added, a hint of amusement in his voice. It was laughable that this woman thought she could lecture him like an elder. "I have my own judgment, and I don't need you to worry about me," Lucas replied, shaking her head gently. How could she get through to him? She was starting to feel a bit tired. But David had insisted that this was part of her job-an additional condition of the deal to awaken Thomas' competitive spirit regarding the company's success. This was a disadvantage for Lucas, but she refused
CHAPTER 295
Thomas had just finished his rounds at the company during the day, carrying the weight of being the boss of such a large corporation. By night, he found himself parking his modest $10,000 car in a hospital parking lot that cost over a million. The stark contrast between these two worlds felt completely natural to him. When he faced Ava, Thomas had expertly masked his emotions. "You really timed your arrival perfectly today," Ava remarked, glancing at the crowded parking lot. "It looks like all the other cars are packed in tight, but you seem to have it easy." Ava had just walked over, and it was well-known that parking at the hospital was a nightmare. But for Thomas, this kind of situation had never been a problem. "Thanks to my student," he replied with a slight smile. "He bought the parking spot." Only at this hospital could they sell parking spaces like that. The limited availability made it a rare find, but Ava chose to keep her thoughts to herself about the hospital's decisio
CHAPTER 294
Thomas made a quick trip to the hospital and then changed into a fresh outfit in the car. Today marked his first day back in the office in a serious role, and he felt a mature image suited him best.After stepping out of the driver's seat, he looked at the car, which was the same one hisfamily owned. As he glanced toward the entrance, he began to regret not having taken a different vehicle, especially since Miss Hutton was leading a group of people.A welcoming line stretched from the frontdoor all the way to the reception deskinside. The leadership team had gathered, with about 50 to 60 people present. This kind of display felt overly extravagant and formal for Thomas. As soon as he stepped onto the red carpet, dozens of voices rang out in unison."Good morning, boss! Welcome back to work!"The chorus was quite impressive but also abit jarring to his ears."There's no need for all this. Just get back to work and do what you need to do," Thomas said, waving at Miss Hutton."Why ar
CHAPTER 293
"Alright, I'll go talk to HR right away and make sure these issues are sorted out as soon as possible. What about Lucas?"Since David has been asked to step down temporarily, likely that Lucas won't be coming in either."Let Lucas take the position; he won't make much of an impact anyway. But I have a special request." Miss Hutton was puzzled. Wasn't the whole issue caused by Lucas's arrival, which made him upset? Why was David facing the bigger consequences while Lucas seemed to be getting off scot-free?"Go ahead, boss.""From now on, any decisions or actions taken by Lucas in the company will require an additional layer of review, and you will be directly responsible for that. It's like putting an extra lock on him; you understand what I mean?"Thomas wouldn't forget about Lucas either. No matter what that kid was planning, Lucas always had his back. If they thought they could pull off any tricks using him, Thomas wouldn't let them get away with it easily."Got it, boss. You can co
CHAPTER 292
Miss Hutton was a thoughtful and intelligent secretary, a fact that Thomas never doubted, and right now, it was perfectly evident."The old man definitely approved it; he made all the decisions himself." Thomas tone was calm, making it hard to guess his true feelings, but Miss Hutton had a keen intuition and was familiar enough with her boss to sense that this was just a brief calm before the storm."Boss, why don't you take a look at this confirmation letter first?"The personnel appointment was only three short pages, emphasizing both parties' requirements and important notes. Thecontent and signatures clearly illustratedeverything. She had to inform Thomas early in the morning, not because she wanted to take a shot at David, but because he refused to cooperate.Miss Hutton couldn't afford to delay this matter. If she knew something important anddidn't report it to her boss in time, she would have to answer for it later. She wasn't foolish enough to make that mistake. Thomas flip
CHAPTER 291
"Mom, can we just talk? It's really uncomfortable when you stare at me like that."Solara shot him a glare. Here she was, trying to do him a favor, and he was acting all weird about it."I just spoke to that little kid, and they said they would waive all of the medical fees for him. Isn't that a huge savings?"Ava and Jack were both taken aback. What kind of request was that? Someone helps you out, and you bring up something like this?"Mom, how can you say that? Their moneyIt isn't just nothing! Besides, Iris' medical bills are something Thomas and I can easily handle."Solara scoffed at her. Just because they could both pay didn't mean Ava wasn't mostly footing the bill. Saving money was saving money, after all. Ava knew that Thomas'The situation was different from what she hadthought before. His family might be doing business and had some wealth, so he was the one mostly covering the hospital expenses for their daughter."I'm just looking out for you two. Raising a child takes m
