Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

The next day, Susan was told that Director Luke let her have a few days off since she had just completed a project. 

She was glad that she could have a good rest for a few days. 

Ben went to the company early in the morning. 

Susan had wanted to sleep longer, but as soon as Ben left, she could only toss and turn, unable to fall asleep again. 

She had no choice but to sit up and scratch her messy hair. 

“Fine, I might as well get up!” 

After washing up, she went downstairs and asked about Thomas. 

The maid told her that Thomas had not woken up yet, so she did not disturb him and only asked the maid to prepare breakfast for him. 

“Susan,” Penelope said with a hint of slyness in her eyes, “did you keep a male guest overnight? But as a married woman, you need to mind your behavior.” 

Susan couldn’t help but frown. 

Before she could say anything, Charlie put down his flatware and said, “Are you referring to Thomas? You married into our family late, so you probably don’t know Thomas has been Ben’s friend since their childhood. He can be considered a member of the Landor family. What’s wrong with him staying here overnight?” 

Penelope thought in embarrassment, “This man named Thomas is Ben’s friend? 

“Why did I hear that Thomas and Susan were talking happily while Ben had a long face all last night? 

“But Charlie had no reason to lie to me.” 

At the thought of this, Penelope could only explain with a laugh, “Sorry, I think too much.”

Charlie sneered. “You’re indeed overthinking.” 

Penelope lowered her head and no longer dared to speak. 

Susan smiled and thought, “Alright, I don’t need to be bothered to explain now.” 

She seated herself next to Charlie and chatted with him happily while eating. 

The atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious.

Penelope felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of it. She chimed in, “Dad, Leo told me that 

he finished his studies a year in advance. He can soon return home after he gets his graduation certificate.” 

“Oh?” Charlie was also delighted to hear this news. “He did a good job in finishing his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in only five years.” 

Penelope said proudly with a smile, “Yes! He has always told me that he would study hard so that he can help his brother as soon as possible when he returns.” 

“It’s good that he has such an ambition,” Charlie said. “When he comes back, I’ll ask Ben to arrange for him to start at the bottom and slowly work his way up. After all, they’re brothers, and they have to support each other.” 

Hearing that Charlie wanted Leo to start from the bottom, Penelope instantly became 

dissatisfied. 

She hurriedly tried to persuade Charlie. “Dad! Leo has a master’s degree. It’s a waste of his capabilities to make him start at the bottom.” 

Charlie glanced at her disapprovingly and said, “Eight out of 10 ordinary employees in the Storm Group have a master’s.” 

Penelope’s lips twitched as she said, “But Leo and Ben are brothers.” 

“That’s why I want him to slowly improve himself by working his way up from the bottom,” Charlie said with unconcealed displeasure. 

Penelope thought anxiously, “Slowly improve himself? Leo is already 24. There’s no time left for us!” But she still kept a smile on her face as she said, “Dad, it’s not that I’m over-

ambitious. I just think that Leo is capable enough to be a help to Ben, so I advise you to put him in an important position as soon as possible. Dad, although the Storm Group looks flourishing now, there is a huge crisis hidden within it.” 

“How do you know?” Charlie didn’t believe her at all. 

“Dad, I’m not exaggerating,” Penelope quickly explained. “Ben is indeed outstanding, but he’s too harsh! Dad, do you remember how others describe Ben at the mention of him?” 

Charlie’s face darkened. 

Ben was notorious as a cold and moody dictator. 

Penelope continued, “There are indeed advantages of Ben’s strict management, but the staff’s rebelliousness will be stirred up under long–term pressure. To tell you the truth, the Storm Group is already filled with complaints about Ben. Everyone almost has had a mental breakdown! I’m afraid that the company will collapse from within if such a situation 

continues. 

“But Ben is like this due to his temperament, and he can’t change so easily. Thus, I’ve been thinking, wouldn’t it be better to let Leo help him with the management of the company? 

“Leo has learned advanced management knowledge from abroad. If he is allowed to hold the position of deputy general manager, he can help make up for Ben’s shortcomings. With the cooperation of the two brothers, the Storm Group will be impregnable.” 

Charlie frowned. “Is Leo competent enough to be the deputy general manager? He has graduated.” 

“I believe he can do it,” Penelope hastily said. “Dad, Ben managed to run a company well soon after his graduation, didn’t he?” 

“How can Leo be compared to Ben?” Charlie put it bluntly. 

Penelope was speechless with anger.

After a long time, she regained her composure and faked a smile as she said, “Of course, Leo can’t be compared with Ben. But they are both descendants of the Landor family, so there is not much difference between them in talent. Dad, if you are willing to give Leo a

chance, he can probably make excellent achievements.” 

Penelope had thought it over. 

She would never ask Ben for help with Leo’s entrance into the company. 

She thought that Ben would have no intention of promoting Leo and would only deliberately give him an unimportant position.

However, if she could convince Charlie and have him intervene, Penelope believed that Ben, who was also a dutiful grandson, would surely not refuse Charlie’s request that Leo should hold a senior position. 

Once Leo entered the top management of the Storm Group, he could slowly nibble away at Ben’s power! 

Penelope believed that in this way, the Storm Group and the Landor family’s assets would eventually belong to her and her son Leo! 

Since Ben and Leo were both his grandsons, Charlie thought what Penelope said more or 

less made sense. 

Charlie hesitated for a moment before he turned to look at Susan and asked, “Susan, is Ben really harsh in the company?” 

Charlie was worried that Ben’s subordinates would truly be dissatisfied with him because of his bad temper. 

If that was the case, Charlie thought he might as well get someone else to smooth things. 

over. 

While Penelope was talking to Charlie, Susan had been eating herbreakfast unhurriedly. 

Hearing Charlie’s question, she replied with a smile, “Grandpa, seeing is believing. Since I’m off today, why don’t I show you around the company so that you can personally listen to the staff’s thoughts?” 

Charlie was tempted by her suggestion. 

He only knew that the Storm Group was powerful but had never been there to take a look.

Therefore, he was also curious about the company’s situation. 

“That’s a good idea.” Penelope agreed as well.
