Seize His Little Wife

“Debby Birthday …” Halfway through her sentence, Christine White abruptly stopped again, as if she was concerned about something.

She was actually going to ask him if he wanted to come along on Debby York’s birthday, but then thought about how impractical that would be.

Let’s not talk about the fact that he didn’t have to attend an employee’s birthday party, but if he went, wouldn’t that be exposing to Debby York that he was her husband? She had never forgotten his warning.

So forget it. She can just go by herself.

“What happened to her birthday?” Baird Lane asked, wrinkling his nose.

“Nothing.” Christine White gathered her thoughts back and shook her head and smiled, “By the way President Lane, were you just standing in my office doorway ready to knock?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Baird Lane hmmm’d and handed her the file he’d been holding in his hand, “Here’s the yearly inventory, you finish organizing it and give it to me.”

Christine White looked serious once she heard it was a job, “Okay, so when do you probably want it?”

“Before the end of the day.” Baird Lane shot back at her, then turned and headed back to his office.

Gates had been waiting for him for quite some time, and when he saw him come in, he immediately flipped through his schedule for the day and reported on his day’s itinerary.

Baird Lane listened while pulling out his chair and sitting down, “What did you say? Hugh Dong asked me to meet him?”

“Yes, Chief Dong has asked to meet you at two in the afternoon.” Gates returned as he closed his itinerary.

Baird Lane tapped his fingers on the desktop, “What did he ask me to meet for?”

“It’s not clear yet, but I think it should be about the last cooperation, I remember that the last time we cooperated, it was just in time for Secretary White and Ms. Molly Bort’s surgery, so the cooperation project, President Lane, you didn’t talk clearly with Chief Dong.” Gates pushed his glasses to analyze.

Baird Lane lifted his chin slightly, “I know, you call back and say that I’ve agreed to meet, the place will be at the Wealth Hotel, I’ll treat him to dinner there by the way, it’s as a reparation for the last time we talked about cooperation and didn’t finish it.”

“Okay.” Gates nodded and instantly took out his cell phone.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone with an odd look on his face.

Baird Lane narrowed his eyes, “What’s wrong?”

“President Lane …” Gates hesitated to say.

Baird Lane was getting a little impatient, “Speak!”

Gates coughed and organized his words, “Chief Dong said he agreed to dinner, but he asked you to bring Secretary White as well.”

“Christine White?” blackened Baird Lane.

Gates nodded, “That’s right!”

“Did he say why?” Baird Lane’s voice was cold.

Gates bowed his head slightly, not daring to look him in the face, “That wasn’t said, just that he hoped to see Secretary White then.”

Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed out a few chills and didn’t speak anymore, his breath around him cold as ice.

Gates did not even dare to breathe heavier, stood across the desk without saying a word, and became invisible.

After a while, Baird Lane suddenly snorted coldly, “If he wants to see Christine White so badly, then I’ll do what he wants!”

“President Lane, you’re really going to take Secretary White with you, aren’t you?” Gates looked at him in full surprise.

Anyone can hear that Hugh Dong has something in mind for Christine White, otherwise why did he have to ask Christine White to come along?

In this situation, no man can accept that another man is thinking about his wife in this way.

But President Lane is …

At this moment, Gates doesn’t know what’s going on in Baird Lane’s mind anymore.

Baird Lane didn’t answer Gates’ question, just grimaced and clenched his fists, “You get outta here.”

“Yes.” Gates answered and turned toward the door.

After two steps, Baird Lane suddenly called out to him again, “Wait!”

Gates stood still, “Is there anything else President Lane wants?”

“Debby York from Planning you know?” Baird Lane leaned back in his chair.

Gates thought for a moment and nodded, “Recognize, she’s on good terms with Secretary White.”

“Well, move her up a level.” Baird Lane took a file and flipped it open.

Gates, however, froze, “A promotion? President Lane, you mean, give her a promotion?”

“If she hasn’t made any mistakes during her time on the job and has a conscientious work ethic, promote her, but if she doesn’t measure up to any of those, give her a small raise in pay.” Baird Lane lightly instructed as a thank you for taking care of Christine White.

Gates doesn’t know what’s in Baird Lane’s mind, and is a million times more surprised by what Baird Lane is doing, while at the same time his mind is curious about Debby York.

I wonder what that woman did to get President Lane himself to give her a promotion and a raise.

Could it be that because he was close to Secretary White, he was in President Lane’s sights?

Thinking about it, Gates can’t help but feel how important it is to follow the right people!

“Okay President Lane, I understand.” He suppressed the thousand thoughts inside him and calmly promised on his face.

Baird Lane waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

Once Gates was out, he went to the personnel department to investigate Debby York’s information, and when he was done, he made sure there was nothing wrong and had the personnel department issue Debby York a promotion.

Debby York called Christine White as soon as she learned of her promotion.

“Christine, I … I …” She couldn’t complete her excited words.

Christine White, however, thought something had happened to her and tensed up, “Debby what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine, I just … just have good news for you!” Debby York sank down and finally managed to hold a full sentence.

Christine White’s mouth twitched, somewhat speechless, “Good news is good news, why do you make it seem like something big has happened, scaring me.”

She cried and laughed.

“I’m just so excited.” Debby York hemmed and hawed.

Christine White stretched and moved her stiff neck, “Since the words of excitement are not clear, it seems that the good news must not be small, what exactly is it?”

“I’ve been promoted!” Debby York exclaimed excitedly.

Christine White’s brain stuttered for a moment, then responded with a surprised confirmation, “Really?”

“How can that be a lie? It was Assistant Gates himself who had the HR department issue the order, and I went from being a regular clerk, to a team leader.”

“Great!” Christine White was happy for her.

Debby York hummed proudly, “Christine you don’t know, those women surnamed Wang’s faces turned beet red when they heard I was promoted, they laughed me to death hahaha …”

Christine White thought about that image for a moment and didn’t hold back a couple of laughs.

After laughing, she suddenly realized something and inquired seriously, “Debby , did Assistant Gates say why you were suddenly promoted?”

Debby York was notified of her promotion by Assistant Gates, who represented Baird Lane, meaning that the person who actually promoted Debby York was actually Baird Lane.

Debby York herself was just an ordinary clerk, and even if she wanted to be promoted, she did not have to go through Baird Lane at all; the department manager of the planning department could decide.

However, this promotion was ordered by Baird Lane. How can an ordinary staff member make the big boss notice and also cross the immediate supervisor to be promoted, the details of which will have to make people think more.

“I don’t think so, it just means I was given a promotion for good behavior.” Debby York thought back.

Christine White was silent for a few seconds, “I know, I’ll ask for you later.”

“Okay, let me know when you ask.” Debby York also wanted to know how she got promoted all of a sudden at once.

Christine White hmmm’d, “I will.”

“I’ll leave it to you then, how about coming out for dinner tonight?” Debby York offered, “Just to celebrate my promotion!”
