Wendy's voice was as lively and energetic as before. People who didn't know the fact couldn't imagine what a serious challenge she was facing.
However, it was her fearless and optimistic spirit that made Freya like her.
Freya said, "Joanne has gone to the company to help your cousin-in-law. I'm thinking that if you were available, you could come over and play with Aiden and Romy. But you'd better accompany Gavin now."
At this time, Freya didn't want to disturb Wendy and Gavin.
"Well, I don't have anything to do today, and Gavin doesn't need me to stay with him every day!" Wendy said, "I can accompany Aiden and Romy, and chat with you at the same time!"
Freya was still worried. "Are you sure you can leave Gavin alone in the hospital at this time?" She asked.
"There are doctors and nurses! Besides, he can take care of himself," Freya said, "I'll ask someone to drive me to the top of the mountain right away."
Wendy hung up the phone and told Gavin that she was going to meet Freya. Gavin agreed without thinking. He sent her all the way downstairs and watched her being picked up by the bodyguards before returning to the ward.
After that, Gavin didn't follow Wendy's advice to rest. Instead, he put on a suit and went downstairs.
Seeing this, his bodyguard hurriedly ran over and asked, "Mr. Gavin, where are you going?"
Gavin said, "Drive me to the company."
"But..." The bodyguard responded with hesitation.
Gavin interrupted him and ordered, "Bring the car!"
He understood why the bodyguard hesitated and also knew that considering his current situation, it was inappropriate for him to leave the hospital.
But now that Brian agreed Joanne go to the company, which showed that he was really busy.
The problem was that Joanne knew little about business, which meant she would be unable to work immediately and even bother Brian to teach her constantly.
But if he was in the company, even if he couldn't assist Brian, he could help familiarize Joanne with business knowledge quickly to reduce Brian's burden.
When Gavin was still on the way, Brian and Joanne had arrived at the Lambert Group.
Brian's life was turbulent, but the commercial empire under his charge was still flourishing.
When Joanne arrived at the company, she saw everyone dress neatly and full of vibrancy, which comforted her a little.
Anyway, the company was still operating as usual, which indicated that Brian had always been keeping a clear head.
Although Joanne was the president's wife, she rarely came to the company. After she got pregnant, the staff had never seen her again.
Therefore, her sudden appearance at the company with Brian caused a sensation.
Some people said that Joanne just came to accompany Brian on the spur of the moment.
Some thought Joanne seemed to become a member of the Lambert Group.
No matter why Joanne came to the company today, there was only one thing that the female colleagues paid the most attention to - she looked as beautiful as before she delivered babies.
Not only that, the most important thing was that after giving birth to her children, Joanne had a mild disposition. She would look at others tenderly with her clear eyes, and she was full of fresh and gentle temperament. She was even more charming than before.
The way Brian looked at Joanne was obviously more doting.
The female colleagues could only admire that she was the typical beloved of God because of her born fine-looking, the love from her husband, and the ability to stay beautiful no matter what she had experienced.
Not long after Brian and Joanne got to the company, Gavin arrived, too.
After passing out in front of everyone last time, Gavin was hospitalized. He had only come back to the company once to hand over his work. After that, he had never returned again.
However, he was still a legend in the company and people would always remember him.
Most people were surprised when they saw Joanne and only dared to watch from a distance.
In comparison, when seeing Gavin, everyone was excited, even including the security guards. One after another, they asked Gavin how did he feel now.
Gavin answered their questions with a relaxed tone, "If everything goes well, I can go home soon."
One colleague asked what everyone concerned most, "Mr. Gavin, will you come back to work with us after you are discharged?"
Gavin nodded with a smile and said, "Of course."
The one who raised the question took the lead to cheer and urged Gavin to get better quickly. He said, "Mr. Gavin, we are still not accustomed to the day without you at the company."
"That's right!" Another colleague echoed, "Mr. Gavin, after you were hospitalized, the company's gossip has decreased a lot. Come back quickly, so that we can talk more about you!"
"Hey, stop!" Gavin made a gesture and said seriously, "99% of the gossip was fake, and I won't look into it anymore. But now, I have a fiance. In the future, if I find anyone in the company spreading the news that I date someone, I will send him to the poorest place!"
All the colleagues whooped together, "Fiance? Mr. Gavin, are you serious this time?!"
"Uh-huh," Gavin raised his eyebrow, "I'm serious this time. I hope you can be serious too."
Gavin had had girlfriends before. But everyone, including Gavin himself, the girls and his gossipy colleagues, knew that Gavin had not taken these relationships seriously.
This was the first time that Gavin had said so frankly that he was serious. He was engaged to Wendy.
Although they were not used to it, they had to admit that -
Gavin was more handsome being like this.
Gavin chatted with them for a little longer before entering the elevator. He went straight to the president's office on the top floor and knocked on Brian's office door.
Brian thought it was the secretary, so he said directly, "Come in."
Joanne was the first person to find it was Gavin who walked in.
Joanne stared at him in disbelief and asked, "Gavin, why are you here?"
Hearing that, Brian looked up and saw it was really Gavin. He frowned and questioned, "Did the doctor allow you to leave the hospital?"
Gavin shrugged and answered, "Henry did. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come out." After a pause, he continued, "I came back to help you and teach Joanne something. If you need to get out today, you can go, and I'll deal with the company affairs."
"..." Brian did not agree immediately. Obviously, he was worried about Gavin's health.
"I'm recovering very well these days. Don't worry," Gavin said, "it will be just one or two days' work. I can still hold on."
"Brian," Joanne said, "didn't Wesley just call and ask you to make time to go to a place with him? Gavin is back, and I'm here too. You just go."
Brian got up from his chair and told Gavin, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself. Go back to the hospital immediately."
"Don't worry!" Gavin smiled and said, "I know my condition well. By the way, Wendy is at the top of the mountain to accompany Aiden and Romy. Anyway, she doesn't know I'm here. Don't leak it out, or I'll have a hard time when I go back tonight."
Brian smiled ambiguously. He then kissed Joanne's forehead and said, "I'm gonna go. I'll be back in the afternoon."
Joanne nodded and responded, "Be careful."
Brian replied an "Okay" and walked out of the office and left the company.
With just a glance at Brian's desk, Gavin immediately recognized which documents needed to be dealt with. He sat down and opened them, and asked Joanne while browsing the files, "How much do you know about business matters?"
"Very little," Joanne said, "I didn't learn business systematically like Freya, and my previous work had nothing to do with this at all."
Gavin nodded and said, "You grew up in the Scott Family after all. With an elder brother like Chris and a husband like Brian, no matter how little you know, you actually know more than ordinary people since you are influenced by them."
"I'll take it as a compliment," after a pause, Joanne changed the topic, "but I have to tell you something else."
Gavin asked curiously, "You look so serious. What's it?"
"We didn't prepare you and Wendy's wedding these days," Joanne said, "Brian is too busy. But sometimes I need his help with this. So I..."
"I understand," Gavin smiled, "it doesn't matter. Wendy and I are not in a hurry to get married. Let's save Aunt Iris first."
Joanne nodded and said, "Okay."
"Take a seat," Gavin said, "I'll teach you some basic knowledge, so you can help Brian in the future."
Just as Gavin had said, Joanne had been seeing and hearing these things since she was a child, so she was not a completely green hand. In addition, with her quick wits and Gavin's guidance, she could soon handle some simple jobs.
They worked until one o'clock in the afternoon.
Brian specially called and asked Gavin to take Joanne to lunch.
"Don't worry, I'm about to take her to the restaurant." Gavin was half serious and half joking, "I don't dare to starve your wife."
After hanging up the phone, Gavin asked Joanne, "What do you want to eat? If you don't like the food in the staff restaurant, we can eat outside."
"Just eat at the staff canteen like everyone else. Anything will be okay," Joanne said, "it's a waste of time to go out."
Appearing in the canteen, Joanne attracted a lot of attention. It was not only because of her look, but more importantly, compared with other managers, she could eat with the employees at ease.
Generally, the senior executives of the company would eat at an exclusive place. But when they saw Joanne being so amiable, they suddenly felt embarrassed and also ate with normal employees.
After dinner, Joanne put the lunch box back in the recycling place and went back to the office.
Daisy called to tell her that the emails had been filtered, and what left in the mailbox were all needed to be dealt with. She asked Joanne to check them.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Joanne opened the email box and click into the inbox. She found a mail from a strange sender which was sent a minute ago.
Moreover, this email had not been filtered by Daisy. It came in directly.
Joanne suddenly thought of something and was a little flustered. She opened the email with trembling hands...
