Jason continued, "Sir, I just asked Hannah to pass me the information, but Hannah is very stubborn. She wants to hand over the information to you in person."
As a qualified and excellent secretary, Jason would have thought of the things that his boss would want to do in advance. However, Hannah didn't want to hand in the information, so Jason was caught in a dilemma too.
"Bring her to the reception room. I'll be there a little later." With Dominic Cooper under his control, Nathaniel was not worried that Hannah would play any cunning tricks.
Moreover, at this moment, Nathaniel's mind was full of the surprise that Karen Joy mentioned. He couldn't wait to finish his work so that he could be by her side!
But...
He had to do things slowly and steadily when it came to his work, as Rome wasn't built in a day.
After reading the pile of documents, Nathaniel listened to reports after reports, and then he was done with his work for the day.
It was already five o'clock in the evening, and Hannah had been waiting in the reception room for Nathaniel for more than two hours.
"Mr. President, are you going to see Hannah Elliot now?" Seeing that Mr. President was putting on his suit jacket and was preparing to leave work, Jason reminded him dutifully.
"Hannah?" Nathaniel paused for a moment before he remembered that Hannah was still waiting for him. "Don't worry. Let her wait for a while more."
Jason replied, "Yes."
After Jason left, Nathaniel immediately took out his mobile phone to call Karen Joy. As soon as he called, the phone was connected quickly. He heard her pleasant voice, "Brother Lionel, are you done with your work?"
"Yes, I'm done with work, but there are still some personal things I have to deal with. But don't worry, I will arrive at the place on time at six o'clock." Nathaniel originally planned to go there early so that he could give Karen Joy a surprise, but he didn't expect that Hannah would disrupt his schedule today.
"Brother Lionel, I'm not in a hurry, as long as you turn up tonight, I'm okay with it!" Karen Joy said playfully. Her voice sounded very cheerful. At the other end of the phone, Nathaniel could feel that she was talking delightedly.
"Sure!" Nathaniel was happy to hear her happy tone, so he responded cheerfully too. It was not hard to tell that he was also smiling.
"Brother Lionel..."
"Yes?"
"Brother Lionel..." She called out his name and wanted to say something, but she didn't.
"Karen, what do you want to say to me?" Nathaniel patiently waited for her to speak, but on the other end of the phone, Karen Joy didn't say anything.
"Karen?" Nathaniel called out her name again.
"Brother Lionel..." Karen Joy paused again. After a few seconds, she said, "Forget it, I'd better not tell you on the phone. I'll tell you in person when you arrive."
"You are teasing me, little girl!" He exclaimed. Karen Joy had piqued his curiosity but didn't tell him anything. She must be deliberately teasing him so that he wouldn't have the mood to deal with other matters.
"Brother Lionel, focus on your work. I'll see you later." After that, Karen Joy hung up the phone. Nathaniel was constantly wondering about what this little girl wanted to say to him.
In the reception room.
Hannah looked at the clock on the wall as time passed by. However, the person she was waiting for was still not there to meet her. She knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Dominic's life or death was in Nathaniel's hands. He had the right to be arrogant. Hannah could not afford to argue with him with her current circumstance.
