Chapter 802
“Joann, I will make sure to return the money to you as soon as possible…” Jaydon was still very
embarrassed.
After all, he had never borrowed money from anyone before, especially not from the woman he loved the most..
It made him feel uneasy and upset.
“Don’t worry, I don’t need the money urgently.
“I should get going now. If you need any help, just give me a call.” Joanna said as she stood up and prepared to leave.
She knew that Jaydon was a person who valued a lot about his pride and self-esteem.
If she continued to stay here, it would only add to his psychological burden. It was best not to make others feel embarrassed when helping others..
Some people, even if they did somebody else a small favor, would keep mentioning it over and over again, fearing that others might forget.
However, Joanna only wanted to quietly help Jaydon without causing him any psychological burden.
“Alright, let me see you off.” Jaydon looked at Joanna with a touch of sadness.
“No need, I have my driver.”
Upon hearing this, Jaydon smiled dazedly. Her current net worth now was much higher than his, so naturally, she would not
travel alone.
“Alright then! Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Joanna smiled gently at Jaydon, carried her bag, and walked out.
The children also loved the snacks here.
So, before leaving, Joanna packed some custard rolls, biscuits, and other treats for them.
Although the chefs at the Everett mansion could make snacks, they could not match the taste of a restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, it was already past ten in the morning.
Joanna checked the time, it was only 10:30 in the morning.
Due to the time difference, it was still around 3 o’clock in the morning in Antlen.
She would have to wait until the afternoon to call Aria Bridges.
“Miss Haynes, are we going home now?” Tatiana asked respectfully as she opened the car door.
Joanna pondered for a few seconds. “Hmm, let’s go to the company first.
“It’s been a long time since the last time I visited the company, and it can’t be left unattended for too long.”
“Sure.”
Bruce had not been going to the company during his recovery period, and now, he was abroad for treatment and would not be back anytime soon.
Joanna felt it was necessary for her to go to the company and oversee things.
Twenty minutes later, the driver parked the car in the Everett Group’s parking lot.
“Miss Haynes, we have arrived at the company. You can get off now.”
“Okay, you can take the snacks home for now and come back to pick me up later.”
“Sure.”
Without saying much more, Joanna elegantly stepped out of the car.
With Tatiana and Cherron, she headed towards the company’s lobby.
“Hello, Miss Haynes!”
“Good day, everyone.” Joanna nodded slightly in acknowledgment to the front desk staff, and then she took the elevator.
On the office floor.
Andy received a report from the front desk and learned that Joanna had arrived at the company.
He hurriedly went to the elevator to welcome her.
Ding! The elevator arrived at the designated floor.
As soon as Joanna stepped out, Andy respectfully greeted her. “Hello, Miss Haynes.”
“Mm, how’s the company doing recently?”
“Everything’s fine.”
The two walked towards the office as they spoke.
“Miss Haynes, when will Mr. Everett be back? Some contracts and documents need his signature, and we can’t delay any further.” Andy looked at Joanna with a serious expression.
Joanna frowned, feeling a mess in her mind.
Indeed, work would not wait for anyone.
Bruce would not be back in Greyport in the near future, so she had to handle these matters on his behalf.
“Bring those contracts and documents over.”
Andy was confused for a moment and looked at Joanna with hesitation.
She took a deep breath and explained. “During this period, Mr. Everett won’t be coming to the company. I’ll take over his work for the time being.”
Andy became even more anxious. “Huh? Isn’t Mr. Everett on a business trip? Hasn’t he come back yet?
“He initially planned to be gone for three days, but today is the fifth day, and he has not returned and his phone is unreachable.
“The pre-arranged cooperations are waiting to meet Mr. Everett.”
“He’s dealing with some health issues and needs to rest at home.
“Notify all the shareholders that I will temporarily be in charge of his work from today.”/
Seeing Joanna’s serious expression, Andy knew she was not joking and quickly acknowledged. “Understood. I will send out a notification in the workgroup chat right away.”
Shortly after, Andy sent a message in the workgroup chat, announcing Joanna’s temporary takeover of Bruce’s work.
In less than five minutes, the executives and shareholders in the workgroup chat were shocked by the news.
“What? Is this for real? Miss Haynes is taking over Mr. Everett’s work again? What’s going on this time?”
Another shareholder could not help but tease. “Is Mr. Everett thinking of retiring? Why is he not coming to the company so often now?”
“I guess so..
Look, he has already transferred so many assets to Miss Haynes’s name.
“Now, who knows what he’s up to? He has not come to the company for so many days.”
“Eh, I heard from a gossip that Mr. Everett seems to be sick again.”
Several shareholde
were
surprised. “Who told that?”
you
“I heard it from someone else. It seems quite serious. He has been resting at home for so many days, and he still has not recovered.”
“What? Is it true?”
Ding!
