Substitute Marriage novel Chapter 6

"Right." Autumn simply asked but wasn't expecting Charles' answer.

"Traditional annual meetings are mostly routine. However, this year the Shining Company is celebrating its 50th anniversary. In addition to that, our company has acquired several companies recently. I would rather spend the money on rewarding the employees than on arranging a wine party." Charles said.

Autumn nodded. She thought that though he wasn't a good husband, he was definitely a great boss.

"Have you finished your breakfast? I can drive you to work." Seeing Autumn put down her chopsticks and bowl, Charles questioned her.

'Drive you to work...' again.

No, thank you."

"Let's go." Autumn's refusal was immediately blocked by Charles. He pulled her hand and took her to the car.

But since she stayed up very late last night, she fell asleep in the car. After reaching her company, Charles woke her up.

Seeing Charles park the car at the place where she got off yesterday, she was relieved. "See you soon." Charles said. Autumn didn't notice the implication of his words. As soon as she entered the office with a laptop in hands, she was stopped by Ryan Zhou, "Oh my god, how is your plan going? They will come to review the plan soon..."

"Mr. Zhou, Ye is the top planner of our company. You can trust her." Before Autumn opened her mouth, Paula Pan said with jealousy.

She had been working in this company for a long time, even longer than Autumn. But she still couldn't compete with Autumn. Her salary was lower than Autumn's now. She also hated Autumn very much.

"I have tried my best, but I can't guarantee the result." Ryan was happy to hear Paula's words but Autumn's response took away all the happiness.

"Ye is too humble." Paula Pan sneered.

"Enough! Stop here!" Ryan looked at Autumn and said, "Anyway, I'll leave this case to you. You should take it seriously."

"Okay." Autumn nodded.

Staff members of the Shining Company arrived at 9 o'clock, while Autumn was still checking her PPT. The newcome receptionist came to call her over, "Ye, please come out quickly. The company's staff members are here."

Autumn was confused. Now that they were here, why not directly get them to the meeting room? But the receptionist pulled her out of the office, "Come on, Autumn. Mr. Zhou is waiting."

There were two groups of people lined up at the gate. Ryan waved at her and grabbed his coat nervously. This was when Autumn noticed that Ryan who always dressed casually wore a suit today.

She looked around at the people on the scene. All of them looked serious. Even Paula Pan seemed to be different. She was more... coquettish.

Autumn thought, 'Isn't it just a representative? Is it possible that Charles is coming over here in person?'

Autumn usually didn't like following the crowd. But she was definitely curious about who the representative was.

When the lift doors opened, a man in a navy blue suit walked towards the gate of Cloud Advertising Company, followed by a couple of people.

It... it was the man who just drove her to work today.

Autumn knew that the case was for the Shining Company. But she never expected that Charles himself would come to her company for such a small annual meeting case. No wonder Ryan was so nervous. "Mr. Lu," Ryan immediately walked towards him, "Welcome to our company. This way, please."

Autumn felt Charles was staring at her. However, it meant nothing for her but Paula Pan standing besides her was excited.
