Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 40

"Just now, Mr. Sunny suddenly informed me that this program is canceled, but the employee with the best performance this month will get an extra bonus."

After Lydia said that, she clapped her hands and added, "Okay, meeting adjourned."

The smile on Fenly's face gradually turned into an awkward frown with Lydia's words. She even asked, "Lydia, what did you say?"

Lydia looked at Fenly with impatience and replied, "It’s what you heard. Do I need to repeat myself? If you have any problems, take it up with Mr. Juhl. I'm just a messenger."

After saying that, Lydia left.

At this time, the colleagues in the department who were usually close to Fenly all had a weird look on their faces. On the other hand, Lindsey was not bothered and went back to her desk to drink her hot coffee.

Lindsey felt that she had learned a new trick from Lydia. When they were all discussing this matter, it was only within the internal planning department. For fear of causing dissatisfaction among other colleagues, they wanted to wait for things to be finalized before announcing it officially.

However, at that time, Fenly took advantage of the opportunity to look down on Lindsey and made the matter known to everyone.

This was also the reason why Lydia asked for a last-minute departmental meeting and told everyone about Mr. Juhl’s change of mind, which was tantamount to slapping Fenly in the face. This not only made Fenly embarrassed, but others also felt incomparably awkward.

It was a killer move.

Lindsey was not so vain as to think that Lydia was standing up for her. Perhaps Lydia did intend to help her, but the bigger purpose was to use this incident as a reminder for everyone.

They should learn to be humble even though they perform well.

At noon, Lydia handed a stack of documents to Lindsey. She did not even glance at Fenly, who was sulking on the side.

"Lindsey, take this information up to Mr. Juhl. Our company is negotiating a project with Denarius Corporation. Mr. Juhl just got here and the intention of cooperation is very strong. There’ll be a meeting later with representatives from Denarius, so don't be timid."

Denarius Corporation. Was this not Zayn Guggenheim's company?

Lindsey wanted to refuse, but Lydia had already pulled her up without giving her a chance to respond.

Lydia whispered in her ear, “Go! Use this opportunity to get to know them better. When we land this project, I plan to give you the consulting part of it. Do a good job!”

As a newly promoted team leader, Lindsey also needed a project that would look good on her portfolio.

Lindsey's originally hesitant footsteps became lively all of a sudden and confidently took the elevator to the top floor.

However, her confidence deflated instantly when she saw the person sitting in Shaun's office.

No one said the representative of Denarius was their president himself! Was it too late for her to regret it now?

Clearly, it was too late. Lindsey stood in front of Shaun and said, "Mr. Juhl, this is the information you wanted."

Shaun looked normal. The injury on his face from the fight with Zayn had not fully recovered, yet the two men were still able to sit in the same office to talk about work without incident. They were truly not ordinary people.

This was a testament that business interests were above all else, even enemies.

"Okay, put it on the desk."

Lindsey put down the documents and turned to leave, but she was pulled back by Shaun.

"What's the hurry? Look at you, so unkempt. Your collar isn’t even folded properly."

"Oh, really?"

Lindsey felt embarrassed. She was in too much of a hurry when she left the house in the morning.

Shaun helped Lindsey to fix her clothes and the two of them were extremely close to each other. Lindsey was a little shy and lowered her head in embarrassment. Zayn saw the smiling Shaun and the shy Lindsey and thought that this was an intimate act.

"Lindsey Juhl, am I dead to you?"

Zayn brushed his sleeves and stood up from the sofa. His face was very glum.

"What did I do to you now, Mr. Guggenheim?"

If Shaun knew what consequences his words would lead to, remorse would still not be able to describe his feelings. Of course, this was an afterthought.

"Let’s go."

Zayn got up and left.

Quentin, the assistant, bid Shaun goodbye and followed Zayn out. The president was only accompanied by him alone that day, which had never occurred in the past.

Shaun did not move. He only clenched his fists as he watched Zayn's departing back.

When they got into the elevator, Quentin pressed the button to the first floor, but Zayn pressed the 12th floor.

"You can go back by yourself."

Quentin was stunned, but he did not dare to ask why the president wanted to go to the 12th floor. He just watched as the elevator stopped and his president walked out on the 12th floor.

Lindsey did not have the time to think about why Zayn would personally come over for a deal with Hemera because as soon as she came down, Lydia threw a large pile of client information to her.

Lydia knocked on her desk and said, "Sort it out before the end of the day. This will affect your performance as team leader, so be attentive."

"Okay, I promise to get it done."

Lindsey cheekily made a hand gesture to Lydia.

“Mr. Juhl’s ready to make a big move, not only with Denarius, but also Anton, Milton, and Chandler Corporation. All of them have expressed an intention to cooperate. This stack of information not only has our client information, but also some information about a few other companies. Study it well.”

Lindsey buried her head into the pile of information and was fully engaged, but she suddenly saw a black shadow above her desk.

"You...!"

Lindsey cried out in shock. After seeing who the visitor was, she was even more frightened and almost fell out of her chair.
