“Mom was the one who instructed me to do so! If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself. Don’t take your anger out on me!” Davin defended himself.
Mom asked him to hold the meeting?
But why would she do this?
Evan immediately hung up on his brother and gave Sophia a call.
As soon as Sophia heard her son’s questions, she turned and noticed the somber look on Jonathan’s face. Immediately, she understood that she wasn’t supposed to tell Evan the reasons yet.
As such, she stalled by saying, “There’s no particular reason, I’m just worried, that’s all. Now that Nicole is pregnant, you have to stay home to take care of her. I’m worried that the company might face issues while you are away. That’s why I asked Davin to hold that meeting.”
“Mom, don’t you know that what you did is actually causing more problems? Davin’s meeting is making the top management speculate that the company is facing a crisis. On top of that, they might have more suspicions about why I’m staying home to take care of Nicole. I’ll get John to handle this. So please, don’t get involved in the company’s affairs any further,” Evan said before hanging up.
However, there were still doubts hanging over his head. Mom has always been a wise woman. Why would she suddenly ask Davin to do such a thing?
This move is really uncalled for.
Following his call with Sophia, he asked John to explain Davin’s meeting to the top management by saying that there was a major upcoming project.
Since John had been Evan’s aide for so many years, he naturally understood what Evan meant. “Will do, Mr. Seet! I’ll carry out your instructions immediately. Don’t worry!” he said.
John grumbled inwardly after he hung up the call with Evan. Davin is really creating a mess for the company!
Nicole, who had just woken up, went downstairs. When she saw Evan looking out the window with a gloomy expression, she wondered if there was something bothering him.
