“Alright then. I’ll wait for you to come back!”
Jaydon Grimm said gently, “Mm–hmm. Just tell me if anything crops up.”
“Got it. Quickly get back to bed!”
“Goodbye!”
After ending the phone call, Joanna Haynes let out a deep breath.
“It’ll be fine when Jay comes back. For the rest of my life, other than Jay, I don’t want to love anyone else!”
The next day…
“Tatiana, I’m making a trip to Greene Town. Pack up and prepare to set off in the afternoon.”
When Tatiana heard this, she immediately replied, “Sure, Miss Haynes!”
In the morning. Joanna arrived at the office to deal with some internal matters. She also had a meeting with Caleb Harrison. to discuss the specifics of buying back the shares held by Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger.
If nothing unexpected happened, the agreement could be signed next month.
At that point, the company would be left with two shareholders, namely Caleb and Joanna.
At noon. Mr. Roger called again to ask about the progress.
“Hello, Miss Haynes? When will your loan be in place?”
Joanna frowned slightly. “Mr. Roger, the bank is already processing it. We can sign the agreement at the end of next month! Please wait patiently for another month. It will be ready soon.”
“Mm–hmm. Okay.”
Joanna paused. “In that case, Mr. Roger, you can prepare to hand over the work at hand during this period of time.”
“Mm–hmm. I know.”
After ending the call, Joanna summoned Ethan Alexander into her office.
“Miss Haynes, what can I do for you?”
Joanna handed him a stack of documents and said somewhat solemnly, “Ethan. I’ll hand over Mr. Roger’s job scope to you
from now on.”
Ethan was taken aback momentarily. “Got it, Miss Haynes.”
He knew that this was a sign that he was going to be promoted. He was now the deputy general manager. After Mr. Roger left, he would most likely be promoted to general manager.
“Go and familiarize yourself with this job scope for the next few days so that you won’t become all flustered later.”
“Sure!”
“You may go
Ethan pursed his lips and left the office with that stack of documents.
It was already afternoon by the time Joanna was done with the company’s matters.
She did not dare to delay. She brought Tatiana and rushed to the city of Porash.
The factory in Porash was mainly managed by Michael Lawrence and Nicholas Boon.
During this period, Joanna was simply rushing back and forth between the three cities of Greyport, Porash, and Greene Town like a spinning top.
She still had to check out a few cities in the north. The company was going to expand its operations and so she was preparing to build a few more new factories.
In the city of Porash, Joanna came to the factory first.
Michael and Nicholas began to report on the work progress here. “Miss Haynes, a few potential sites in Pearl City have already been earmarked for the future factory. That city is very close to Venturas, and the industrial sector is more developed. The rent is cheaper than rents in Porash.”
“This is the basic information of a few factory sites. However, I suggest that you take the time to take a look yourself.” Michael handed a stack of documents to Joanna.
“Mm–lumi. I can go and check them out.”
Chapter 364
“Our business in the first half of the year has increased by 47% compared to last year. We can’t fulfill the orders now. The company is recruiting regular workers on a large scale.”
When Joanna heard this, she felt rather gratified. “I understand. It’s been hard on everyone.”
“It’s not hard at all. It’s what we should do!”
It was already past eight o’clock in the evening when Joanna was done with the work in Porash.
“Miss Haynes, are we still rushing to Greene Town tonight?”
“Mm–hmm. We have to rush to the recording studio early tomorrow morning. Time is tight, and it will be troublesome if there’s a traffic jam along the way. It’s better to set off tonight.”
“Alright!”
Greene Town was about 62 miles away from the city of Porash. If they took the highway, they could reach it in over an hour by car.
It was ten o’clock in the evening when Joanna and Tatiana reached Greene Town.
After that, the two of them went straight to the hotel. They intended to sleep in the hotel for the night and go to the office first thing tomorrow morning.
Joanna had just arrived at the hotel and had yet to catch her breath.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The phone rang. Joanna picked it up and saw that it was a call from Bruce Everett.
Joanna frowned. She didn’t really want to answer his call!
However, the phone kept ringing. If she didn’t answer his call, Bruce would probably go crazy again.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Joanna braced herself and answered the call. “Hello? What’s the matter?”
Bruce’s displeased voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Joanna, where are you? Why haven’t you been answering your phone?”
Joanna was a little exasperated. “What’s the matter? Hurry up and say it!”
“It’s Sunday the day after tomorrow. Previously I asked if you wanted to come with me to pick up the children. Have you thought about it?”
Joanna froze and became speechless.
She was now in Greene Town and had forgotten about this matter completely!
Moreover, she really did not dare to go to Surbano with Bruce. The round trip would take at least three to four days. Staying with him was equivalent to walking into a tiger’s den.
When he heard that Joanna was silent, Bruce asked impatiently, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Joanna took a deep breath and braced herself before saying, “Bruce, I really
the children up after they come back!”
When Bruce heard that, he instantly fell silent.
“n’t find the time. I’ll go to the airport to pick
Neither of them spoke or ended the call. They remained silent for more than a minute.
After a while, Bruce finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He said with resentment, “Joanna Haynes, you’ve really changed!
“In your heart, nothing is more important than work, including the children!”
“That’s not true. I Joanna opened her mouth to explain, but she did not know where to start.
“Alright, don’t say anymore! It’s fine if you don’t want to go!” With that, Bruce ended the call right away.
“Hello? Hello?”
The call had already been ended. Joanna sighed and silently placed the phone near the bedhead.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to pick up the children. She just didn’t want to go with Bruce to pick up the children.
Joanna knew Bruce too well. If she stayed with him, he would do everything he could to pester her. Whether she wanted it or not, he would always get his way.
Therefore, the further away she stayed from him, the better.
The next day at eight o’clock in the morning.
At the office of Charmont Media Group.
When Joanna and Tatiana arrived at the office, the few staff at the reception greeted them, “Good day, Miss Haynes!”

Joanna smiled and nodded at them. “Good day, everyone.”
Cora was already waiting at the entrance. “Miss Haynes, this is the list that the sponsors have drawn up.
“These contestants are still quite formidable but they’re still slightly inferior to the few other contestants who had been climinated
“And these few contestants are quite good in all aspects. They also have quite a big fan base. However, because there are limited spots, they may be eliminated in this round!”
Joanna had thought about it for the whole of last night and said solemnly, “Mm–hmmm. Why don’t we do this? We can hold another repechage round and give these eliminated outstanding players another shot at glory!”
Cora’s eyes lit up when she heard that “Mm–hmm. That’s a good ideal”
“Then it’s settled!”
Brother Trumpet also walked out with a smile. “Joann, there’s a livestreaming in the afternoon. Do you want to do it with
me?”
