His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 788

All this created a better impression of Benedict for the executives. Although he was not interested in the business, he was not brainless. He would still offer some constructive opinions.

The current computer system in the company was his idea, and he even hired someone to set it up. There were also several other profitable projects within the company that was all from his suggestions.

Everyone still looked up to him, but due to Derrick's poor health, he had been in a hospital for a long time. As for Benedict, he went missing, and no one had seen him for a long time.

Everyone was losing their patience when someone pushed the meeting room door open with a bang. Damian stood at the doorway, out of breath. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his eyes were blank, staring ahead lifelessly.

Seeing him, Arianna felt relieved yet annoyed.

He knew what day it was and how important this meeting was. Yet, he showed up late and looked like a mess. As he moved closer, everyone could smell a waft of alcohol from his body.

Damian was lucky that what he was about to report was in his favor. He could easily offset his tardiness and disheveled clothes with the result of his project. Although it needed to be revised, it was better than nothing.

"Mr. Damian!" Joseph called out and quickly walked toward him. Then his voice softened. "Look at you. No matter how busy and tired you are from the project, you shouldn't show up this late. Everyone here is waiting for you. Hurry up and apologize to them."

Joseph nudged Damian, probing him to do something.

Then, as if he had just returned to his senses, Damian took a deep breath and straightened himself up before lowering his head. "I would like to apologize to everyone whom I've kept waiting. I overslept and did not show up on time. I am willing to accept my punishment. I ask all of you, seniors, to forgive me!"

"Since you're here, let's just get started. We've all been waiting for you."

"The perfume department this year is the most anticipated and promising project we've developed, and your achievement has been great. So, Mr. Damian, please share with us about it," one of the shareholders spoke up.

Damian walked to the middle of the room and put one hand on the table. As he turned to look at the big screen, he felt his head spin. He must have unknowingly drank too much last night.

When he woke up this morning, he saw that he was already late and had countless missed calls on his phone. It was horrible. Those closer to him could smell the alcohol off him and subconsciously covered their nose.

Damian paused for a moment, and just then, Ken walked in with cups of brewed coffee. Damian quickly reached out to pick up a cup and gulped it down, making the others frown even more.

However, he was ignorant of it. To him, he had contributed the most this time, and he only showed up to receive their praises. There was no need for him to care about how they felt.

Only after that cup of coffee did Damian feel a little better. He took another deep breath, cleared his head, and said, "Now, let me report to you all the project’s results from the perfume department.

“I believe everyone already has a report in their hands. Our company's perfume was out of stock as soon as we launched them. The sales volume and profit are very gratifying…"
