Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 119

After three days of heavy rain, the temperature dropped a lot. It was no longer hot and humid. The streets of Ocpeace City were full of fallen leaves that were blown by the wind and rain. The streets were filled with cleaners dressed in orange uniforms.

Theodore sat in his office after the meeting. There was tea on his table that his secretary prepared beforehand. He picked it up and took a sip.

"I have sent people to check on the situation of the branches that did not perform as well this quarter compared to last quarter. However, the performance in August has never been great so there shouldn't be any other causes."

Moses was logically and clearly reporting the details from the meeting.

"Okay," Theodore put down his cup and ordered, "Focus on acquiring Red Star. When will the financial analyst come to work?"

"The end of this month."

"Let's press her a little further. Tell her to come work before the 20th and have her take over the Red Star acquisition plan."

"Okay."

Moses closed the document in his hand and said respectfully, "Mr. Godfrey, I'll leave if there isn't anything else. I'll order lunch for you later."

Theodore nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How's the thing I asked you to investigate going?"

Moses was stunned for a moment and said warily, "It's been too long and you said it's related to the Godfrey family, so we have no leads yet. It's quite challenging."

Upon hearing this, Theodore's brows furrowed slightly. He waved his hand for Moses to leave.

Moses, who was standing outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief after closing the office door. He loosened his tie and walked towards the elevator.

The boss' orders were getting trickier to handle. Now, Theodore asked him to investigate his own family. Wasn't this making things difficult for him? No matter if he could find anything, unless he didn't want his job anymore, he didn't dare to investigate the Godfrey family.

If Mrs. Godfrey found out, he would not be able to stay in Ocpeace City any longer.

After Moses left, Theodore flipped the documents on his desk. He absent- mindedly looked at a few pages. The sound of his phone vibrating came from the desk, "Buzz..."

He stared at the caller ID for two seconds before answering.

"Hello, Mom."

It was Mrs. Godfrey who called. She rarely called her son unless it was something serious. In her opinion, her son only needed to do two things, to be the president of the Godfrey Group and the young master of the Godfrey family.

Mrs. Godfrey's voice came from the other end. Her tone sounded more like a negotiation. There was no warmth, not even a hint of ease.

"Bring Josephine home for dinner tonight."

"I can't go. I have a dinner appointment with Mr. Gabriel from the Trendle Group tonight."

"Cancel it." Mrs. Godfrey's tone was irrecusable. "Trendle Group is not an important partner. You don't need to spend so much effort. Your grandmother is celebrating her birthday in a few days. You should come back and discuss what to do."

There were only two people in the world whom Mrs. Godfrey prioritized above the Godfrey Group. One was herself, and the other was Madam Helen Scott, Theodore's grandmother.

Madam Scott was over 80 years old. She permanently lived in the countryside of Ocpeace City and led a secluded life. Except for her family coming to the annual birthday party, she seldom showed up.
