From the look in his mother's eyes, Chirs could tell that if he didn't say something, he wouldn't be able to have a good dinner tonight.
Seeing that his mother was staring at him, Chris thought for a moment. Then he said, "It's alright. It's good for exercising."
This meant that he was still willing to run. Angie picked up the fork and hid a smile. She began to eat happily. "Eat more. Exercise consumes stamina. You can only run and run faster when you have enough stamina."
Only then could he catch up with Leia.
Stella and Chris were surprised. They thought, 'There couldn't be any conspiracy, right?'
Seeing that the siblings were stunned and did not even dare to pick up food for Angie's enthusiasm, Charlie felt that his wife was too much of a contrast. It would indeed make people suspicious. "Ahem, ahem, atem. Hurry up and eat."
Stella suddenly thought of a question. She wondered if her father had told her mother that Leia also lived in this neighborhood. "Mom, do you know that Christina arranged for Ms. March to live in our neighborhood?"
Upon hearing this, Angie took out her astonishing acting skills. She was poker-faced and even a little surprised. She held her fork and forgot to eat. "Ms. March? Is she the leader your brother-in-law invited from Sapphire City?"
At this moment, Charlie looked at his wife's acting skills and felt he had delayed the birth of an acting queen.
He secretly praised her in his heart.
Chris also stared at his mother's face, wanting to see something. However, his mother's face was filled with surprise. Her mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg.
"That's right. Dad, why didn't you and Christina tell me? Even if you didn't tell Mom and Chris, you should have at least told me. No matter what, I work in the company and am Ms. March's assistant."
In the beginning, she was always on tenterhooks. She would not have been so afraid if she had known Ms. March was not that scary.
Angie gave Charlie a look. Chris lowered his head and ate silently.
Charlie looked serious. He sat up straight and began to act. "Your brother-in-law arranged for her to come to work. He arranged for her to be here because he knew this place well. It's just a simple arrangement of the staff dormitory. What do I need to tell you? Stop thinking about shortcuts and follow her lead in work."
The couple looked at each other. Angie expressed that she was satisfied with her husband's acting skills. Charlie's eyes were filled with questions, saying, 'How was my acting?' Angie nodded, which could be considered a positive answer.
Stella replied, "Alright."
Charlie said, "Yes, learn well from Ms. March."
Stella sighed. "Indeed, outstanding people are always secretly working hard to stun everyone. She's already so busy with work, but she still insists on running every day, and it's so cold. With her perseverance, I can't compare to her in my life."
Angie said, "Looks like you still know your place. Not bad."
Stella replied, "I've always been very clear about my position. My navigation has never deviated." For example, her inner plan was to overdraft her sleep in the first 35 years and travel the world after 35.
She did not tell them her thoughts on the dining table. She was afraid her status would be the same as her brother's.
What if she couldn't even sleep on the weekend?
Angie could not be bothered with her daughter. She began to move the chess pieces on the chessboard. "This girl should be about the same age as Christina. If she comes to work alone in Athana, doesn't that mean she and her boyfriend are separated?"
This question was too hard for Charlie. He could not take on his wife's performance. After all, he was not a gossipy person. How could he know every employee's private life? "I think Joseph and Christina should know."
It meant he didn't know.
Stella was happy to gossip about this question. She was also very curious about what kind of man could control a strong woman like Leia.
"I'll call your sister and ask. She came here to help us manage the company, so we have to take care of her. You don't have to look like that. After your father retires, this position is yours. Ask your sister if she wants to take it."
"I don't want to take it. Don't look at me. I'm also helping you now." Stella quickly waved her hand and firmly protested that the burden was on her.
Chris was speechless.
After Charlie sent the plot to his wife, he quietly watched his wife act as he ate quietly.
Angie put down her fork and took out her phone. She did not look at her daughter, who was waving her hand, or her son, who was eating slower. She called her eldest daughter. The call was connected. She pressed the speaker button and picked up her fork to eat.
In everyone's eyes, there was nothing inappropriate about this action. Usually, when Angie called her daughter, she would put it on speaker so everyone could chat with her child.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Joseph answered the call. Even through the screen, one could hear Joseph's gentleness and politeness. "Angie, Christina is helping George take a shower."
