Chapter 16

Wendy nodded respectfully at her, then looked at the president behind the desk. After one night, the president's complexion had improved a lot, and he looked a lot more energetic. Wendy was afraid that she would delay their breakfast, so she quickly took out an USB from her bag and she put it on his desk. "President Lu, this is an audio recording of the report I was supposed to do yesterday. I tried my best, but I'm not an expert on this project. You may need to call Director Yang to report it if you need a more detailed report." After speaking in one breath, Wendy carefully observed his face. Tobias seemed to be surprised by her behavior. He raised his eyebrows, leaned back directly on the chair, and he faintly said to her, "I think we have a misunderstanding here. Didn't you leave on purpose last night?" Wendy felt her heart beating loudly and she reluctantly said, "President Lu, you're thinking about it too much. You were too sick to listen to my report last night, so I decided to plan ahead and make a recording. For the sake of efficiency." "Oh, I see," Tobias' voice was very slow. He was examining her to see if she was lying. His face was pale, but his eyes were full of life. Wendy felt that every minute and every second she was being tormented. At this moment, Grandma Lu suddenly came out of the break room and she made a fuss at Tobias with a thermos in hand, "Tobias, how could you eat this kind of porridge? It doesn't even have a bit of meat in it. Which assistant did Joe call? I want them to take a full-year course in culinary arts." Both of them were stunned. After that, Tobias looked at Wendy with a smile. Wendy blushed in embarrassment, and she said to Tobias' grandmother with a hint of embarrassment, "I made the porridge last night. There weren't many ingredients in the fridge, so I had to make do with what I had." Tobias saw his grandmother's gaze at Wendy had changed. He knew that she blamed Wendy for being too lazy, and he defended her calmly, "Grandma, she's a newcomer in the financial department. Cut her some slack, her porridge helped me recover." Grandma Lu was still angry at her, but in the end she just scoffed at her and walked back to the break room. Although she didn't do any wrong, she still felt embarrassed. She couldn't really defend herself either. Tobias said lightly to her, "Don't mind her, my grandma is childish when it comes to me." Wendy nodded in agreement, she did in fact notice it. She didn't want to stay any longer, he noticed this and he said "You can go back to work now. I'll call Director Yang if I'm not satisfied with this report of yours." After hearing this, Wendy hurriedly left the president's office as if she had received a pardon. Tobias looked at the woman who ran out in a hurry, he had an unpleasant look on his face. When Grandma Lu came out, she saw her grandson tapping on his desk. His face was definitely heavier than when she first entered the kitchen. "Was that woman doing a bad job just now?" she hurriedly accused the woman just now. Grandma Lu had a good first impression of Wendy, she had a clean face and very bright eyes. She was very different from the gorgeous women on the sixty-sixth floor. But she didn't expect her to be lazy. She neglected his grandson and he couldn't eat or rest well. Grandma Lu didn't like lazy women, she was staring daggers at her from the kitchen. Tobias didn't say anything in response. His lips still looked disappointed. She also blamed her for stiffening the atmosphere, she couldn't find the right opportunity to talk to her grandson a bit more. Tobias looked at his grandma, who was serving him some food. He stroked his forehead as he asked, "Do you want to tell me anything?" "I do have something to tell you. You need to take care of your body more. Sleep eight hours every night and wear clothes that are appropriate for the weather," She nagged at him as she served side dishes. "Tobias, you have to take care of yourself. I'm not here to take care of you and no one else is here to make porridge for you when—" "Didn't Assistant Su make a pot of porridge for me last night?" Tobias interrupted her as he raised an eyebrow. "Pot of porridge my foot. I wouldn't feed those to the pigs even if I—" Grandma Lu stopped and she felt a little guilty when she saw her grandson give her a dissatisfied look. There was a bowl in the sink and the thermos was half-empty. He must have enjoyed it somewhat. She stared at him for a few seconds and sighed. She then had a gentle smile as she changed the subject, "Tobias, your grandpa and I think it's time for you to give us a great-grandson."
