NOVPUBChapter 965: Chapter 965: Very Measured_1 Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Very Measured_1 If it weren’t for Jacob Zahn, she wouldn’t have been found out.
But she didn’t think that flies don’t sting a faultless egg.
In the beginning, it was her hobby that Jacob Zahn became aware of, and that’s why he deliberately approached her.
After Wallace Martin had Mr.
Houston fooled, he started working on getting in touch with the sharp-witted organization.
Wallace Martin did not contact Peggy Lewis directly, but first made a phone call to the CEO of the sharp-witted group.
When the CEO heard from his secretary that it was Wallace Martin who was on the line, he was astonished.
...
Once the secretary transferred the call, the CEO eagerly exclaimed, “Mr.
Martin.”
“CEO,” Wallace Martin politely replied, “Hello.”
“Hello, hello,” the CEO said quickly, “Mr.
Martin, are you contacting me about a collaboration with our company?”
“Indeed, I am,” Wallace Martin confirmed.
The CEO did not expect this matter to involve Wallace Martin personally.
Not just in the CEO’s perspective, but in the eyes of everyone, Wallace Martin held a higher position than Mr.
Houston.
Having Wallace Martin himself call made the CEO’s heart skip a beat.
Especially since the previously agreed contract was personally held back by Lyke Zhekova.
This made the CEO even more nervous.
“Mr.
Martin, did you personally call because there has been a change in our collaboration?
” the CEO asked anxiously.
“Did we do something wrong on our end?
Please let us know, so we can correct it and fully cooperate,” the CEO said.
In his nervousness, the CEO couldn’t think straight.
If Majestic was planning on changing their minds and refused to collaborate with their company,
There would be no need for Wallace Martin to personally call and notify him.
Any employee could have contacted their Business Department, and that would have sufficed.
Wallace Martin said, “CEO, rest assured, our collaboration remains the same.
However, there has been a minor change.”
Though the CEO was relieved at first by the former part of the sentence, his relief quickly turned into apprehension after he heard the latter part.
“It’s hard to explain everything over the phone, so I thought I should arrange a meeting at your company to talk face-to-face, so we don’t create unnecessary misunderstandings through this call,” said Wallace Martin.
The CEO admired this; certainly, someone working as the assistant to Majestic’s CEO would be capable of seeing to every detail.
“When are you available, CEO?” Wallace Martin asked.
Of course, he was available any time!
“Any time will do, I’ll accommodate your schedule,” the CEO immediately replied.
In doing so, the CEO seemed to forget he was the CEO of a large company too.
Even though their company was incomparable to Majestic, it wasn’t a small company.
Checking his work schedule, Wallace Martin saw that it was Friday, and it was almost time to leave work, so a meeting wasn’t feasible.
Wallace Martin proposed, “How about Monday morning at 10 o’clock?
I will visit you at your company.
Does that work for you?”
“Of course, it does,” the CEO responded quickly, “That won’t be a problem.”
After confirming with the CEO, Wallace Martin hung up the phone.
Looking at the time, there were only 10 minutes left before the end of the workday.
Although he had moved out and lived by himself, he always went back to his parents’ house every Friday to visit them.
Unless he had extra work on the weekend, he would stay at his parents’ house.
If there was only a small amount of extra work, he would still return to his parents’ house, spending and enjoying time with them.
Wallace Martin’s family has been in Belfard since his grandfather’s generation.
Now, the main family elders all lived in Belfard.
Some members had moved elsewhere for work, settled there, and expanded their families over the generations.
However, their ancestral home didn’t have many family members, and Wallace Martin wasn’t closely related to those who remained there.
Wallace Martin checked his work schedule for the day.
There wasn’t much left to do.
At the end of the workday, Wallace Martin packed up and drove back to his parents’ home.
Considering Wallace Martin’s treatment by Lyke Zhekova,
In addition to his salary and bonuses written in the company contract, he, Sheldon Rowland, and Adam Zahn all had their own investments.
Although these aides acted as oxen and horses for the CEOs,
They occasionally grumbled about it.
Actually, they did earn quite a bit of money.
When Wallace Martin first moved out, he thought that being a grown man, he shouldn’t be living with his parents any longer nor continue to be dependent on them.
Living alone made it easier for him to work and make friends.
Especially when it came to company parties or get-togethers with classmates and friends.
Sometimes, the parties would run late, and he didn’t want to disturb his parents when he returned home.
His parents always kept him in check and nagged him all the time.
It was much more convenient to live alone, and he could also find a place closer to his company.
In the beginning, before he became Lyke Zhekova’s assistant, Wallace Martin did not have the financial means and had to rent a place.
However, after securing his position as Lyke Zhekova’s assistant,
His financial situation gradually improved, allowing him to buy a house of his own nearby.
Wallace Martin drove home.
Before he even walked in the door, he could smell the delicious aroma of the food from the hallway.
Even with neighbors on both sides, Wallace Martin could always tell that the aroma was from his mother’s cooking.
Upon entering the house, he was greeted by an even richer scent of food coming from the Kitchen.
Mr.
Martin was sitting on the living room couch with his mobile phone, probably chatting with friends in a Whatsapp group.
Upon hearing a noise, he looked up and said, “You’re back.”
“Yeah,” replied Wallace Martin.
Mrs.
Martin was busy in the kitchen, the clanging of pans, the noise of the exhaust hood, and the sizzling of oil in the pot could all be heard.
Mrs.
Martin raised her voice and shouted, “Is our son back?”
“I’m back, mom,” Wallace Martin also raised his voice and replied.
“Quickly wash your hands, change your clothes; the meal will be ready in less than twenty minutes,” Mrs.
Martin said.
“Alright.” So Wallace Martin went to wash his hands and change his clothes.
Free from the restraints of formal wear and changed into comfortable home clothes, he emerged.
Mr.
Martin took off his reading glasses, put down his mobile phone and asked, “How’s work lately?”
Wallace Martin didn’t come back last week because he had to work overtime.
“Nothing major, I’ve been working with our CEO for a long time, so we’re well-coordinated, and things have been going very smoothly lately,” Wallace Martin replied.
“The meal’s ready, come help me bring it out,” Mrs.
Martin called from the Kitchen.
So Wallace Martin and Mr.
Martin stood up together and went into the Kitchen, taking the dishes that Mrs.
Martin had served up to the dinner table.
“Don’t rely on your tenure or proximity to your CEO to become complacent,” Mr.
Martin warned.
“Once you do, that’s when you’ll start making mistakes.”
“Dad, I know,” Wallace Martin responded.
“Right, don’t nag at him every time he comes home,” Mrs.
Martin chimed in. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
“Our son knows his limits.”
