Chapter 141: Thoughtful

Richard nodded and went upstairs. He needs a warm bath to help him chill off. He would go and see Genesis later and talk over it.

The doctor examined Genesis and as well went through her x-ray report. He told her that a few of her tissues were bruised. It needs to be dressed and she would be placed on strong antibiotics to help close up the bruises.

“I hope it will not leave a scar behind?” Genesis asked. She can’t afford to have a scar on her face. Nothing should reduce her beauty.

“It will go away when the bruises have healed,” the doctor assured her. Having been through, Genesis went to the office and took a week off. She needs to ensure her injuries get healed.

Arianna then went to the company. She arrived and many of her colleagues came over to congratulate her. Many called her a smart and intelligent woman.

She appreciated them and settled down to work. Chase Hudson came over and congratulated Arianna with a hug. He circled his hand around her waist and said “you’re one of the best employees that the Hudson’s holding would ever have”

Arianna thanked him and said she appreciated him for the resources he made available for her. Then he whispered to Arianna “the bastard who sabotaged your work will be dealt with”

Arianna squinted, making it look like a surprise. Of course she knows about it already. Chase smiled and Arianna raised her engagement ring up for him to see.

“I’m officially someone’s fiance now” she chimed. Chase took her hand and glared at it in excitement “congratulations Arianna, you both deserve each other” Chase said.

“Thank you. But I haven’t forgiven you for humiliating my fiance before his parents that way” Arianna frowned.

“I’m sorry. That’s one of the reasons I came to find you. Just talk to Jace on my behalf. He’s slashing down my benefits and giving me more work to do.

And again, I will be seeing Rosalinda today. I will ask her if she wants us to get married or if she wants to have the baby and I take up the responsibility. I will go along with whatever she says” Chase Hudson gave a briefing.

“That is thoughtful of you. Take the first step towards responsibility and you will be glad later that you did. When you see your baby, you will be glad you did.

As for the cold war between you and your brother, you need to apologise to him. You hurt him. You should apologise first and if he’s head bent on dealing with you, I’ll come” Arianna advised.

Chase nodded. He smiled and went out. Jace was furious as he watched them. Arianna can let down her guard and let Cause circled his hand around her waist romantically despite the ongoing scandal about her in the company?

He already told her that he doesn’t like it that she mingles with other men. She let Chase touch her waist. What kind of indecent behaviour is that?

Soon the entire employees were invited to the conference room. Because of the nature of the meeting, the CEO instructed that all seats be vacated from the room. Everyone should be standing.

“This meeting was summoned to congratulate Miss Arianna Jason for bringing the trophy home. She worked hard, defended her work and won the hearts of many…” Chase Hudson praised Arianna.

He asked her to come forward and shook hands with her. He congratulated her and said the Hudson’s holding look forward to seeing her excel more in her profession.

Some employees snorted quietly. Two pretentious people. They had celebrated the win overnight behind closed doors and were simply showing formalities.

CEO Jace Hudson was staring at them intently. His facial expression was calm. Arianna looked astounding in her appearance and her engagement ring glitters on her finger.

“Thank you sir,” Arianna appreciated. When CEO Jace Hudson took over, his facial expression was cold, he is not fond of such meetings with the employees.

“I personally appreciate Miss Jason for her hardwork and intelligence. I will decide on how to reward her better” CEO Jace declared and looked around.

Ryan was at a corner, he was looking restless and cannot tell if his secret had been discovered. Lily Ambrose messed up, big time.

Anyways, none of them seem to know who did it. That’s soothing to know. He would also play along, pretending that nothing happened.

“But there is something I want to make clear to everyone” Jace Hudson declared, his tone filled with rage. Everyone glared at him in silence, no one dared to move or made a whisper.

“I hate it when an employee becomes unloyal to me. I despise whoever the person is that works for the Hudson’s holding and yet, betrayed the conglomerate.

I don’t owe anyone working here. And last that I remember, Hudson’s holding is the highest paying conglomerate in Hilton City.

A design made by Miss Jason on behalf of the Hudson’s holding was sabotaged by one of you. You had the temerity to copy our design and give it to Lily Ambrose over what?

I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget in a hurry” Jace declared in fury and turned to glare at Ryan “Ryan Gongalo” Jace Hudson called.

Ryan was dazed. He heard the CEO call his name in fury and he sprang up on his feet. He is worried sick and afraid. It seemed as if he’s not ‘unknown’ like he thought.

“Right here, CEO” Ryan declared, standing up on his feet and staring at the CEO intently. He tried to compose himself and he glanced at Arianna from his split vision.

She seemed to wear a grin but quickly allowed it to disappear. Did she know anything? If he goes down, he would drag her down as well.

“Tell me, Ryan Gongalo, what punishment should be given to the fellow who sabotages our design draft” CEO Jace Hudson asked, glaring at him.
