Chapter 334 What Reward Do You Want


    "Her fever is gone." Chris gave a heavy sigh and said, "I noticed that Autumn have been unhappy


    recently. That''s probably because you''re not here. And it was worse that she got the fever without you


    around."


    Chris heaved a sigh out of frustration and asked, "Brother, when on earth will youe back?"


    "I aming back today." Charles replied and hung up. Actually he made that decision right at that


    moment. He realized that all the agreements and all cooperation were of little importance to him


    needed him.


    He called Le into his room and instructed her to book the earliest flight back. It beat her why they


    were suddenly going back in a hurry. But she soon realized maybe his hasty decision had something to


    do with Autumn. She gathered her courage and suggested, "Mr. Lu, we have an agreement to sign in a


    few hours. Why don''t we …?"


    "I have told you to book tickets. Do I have to repeat myself twice?" Charles raised his voice. He did not


    want to give up the agreement, but his desire to see his wife as soon as possible was much stronger.


    "Yes, sir…" Taken aback and embarrassed, Le nodded awkwardly. She wasn''t used to being yelled


    at by her boss. With Charles watching her, she quickly switched on her smartphone and browsed


    online for avable flights. The next avable flight was not until after midnight. "Mr. Lu, the earliest


    flight avable is sometime after midnight. We have plenty of time for the signing of the agreement


    before going to the airport. No need to rush, " she suggested.


    "Fine. Go ahead and arrange today''s schedule." Charles replied. He had checked to confirm it online


    and found that Le wasn''t lying. The next flight was indeed past twelve o''clock that night. He felt


    hopeless, like a ttened balloon.


    Although he was still in Europe, his heart had already flown out to Autumn.


    After the agreement was signed, it came as good news that the agreement they thought they didn''t get


    was now theirs. Another victory. Charles was happy about that part and regarded the trip as worthwhile


    and sessful.


    When Charles arrived at his partner''s office, his partnerplimented Le on herpetence and


    persistence, "Mr. Lu, we didn''t choose yourpany as our partner. But your secretary Miss Zhang


    approached to us several times and that was why this partnership became a reality. She effectively


    showed us your advantage over the others. After an internal meeting, we reconsidered yourpany.


    So … she deserves credit for trying her best. You should give her a big bonus for this!"


    Charles was astounded to know that Le had made such efforts without his knowledge. Le was too


    embarrassed to meet Charles'' surprised gaze. "It was very kind of you to give me another chance. We


    look forward to having a pleasant and long standing cooperation, " she told the client. She was bursting


    with pride inside but was too shy to show it and just hung her head low.


    "Indeed. We hope for a harmonious rtionship ahead of us, " Charles agreed as he stretched out his


    hand. Handshakes were exchanged and pleasantries passed around before the meeting ended.


    After they left thepany, Charles turned to Le and asked, "Why did you do that?"


    "I …" Le grinned at Charles, her eyes sparkling. "Mr. Lu, I knew that it would please you, so I did


    what I could to realize what we came here for."


    Le continued after a short pause, "Last night, you had too much wine thinking that the agreement


    was a failure, so I took my chances and requested for reconsideration. I didn''t really expect to pull it


    off."


    "This time… I will have to do something to show you my gratitude, " Charlesughed. "Tell me, what


    kind of reward do you want?" Charles didn''t know that Le had feelings for him. After all, that


    agreement was beneficial for the entirepany.


    Le was delighted by Charles''s offer. It took her quite a while to get over her excitement. She said to


    Charles, "I will think it over carefully. It''s notmon for you to make promises like that, so I will

    cherish this opportunity."


    Charles replied with a smile, "Tell me when you have made your decision."


    They went back to the hotel and packed their luggage. Luckily enough, they managed to take the


    earliest ne. And to Charles'' satisfaction, there were no dys so the ne arrived as scheduled.


    When they got out of the airport, Charles booked a taxi for Le. He exined to her, "My family needs


    me, so I won''t drive you home. Send me a message to let me know you have gotten home safely."


    "Okay." As a sensible woman, Le knew what she should do at that time. She smiled and said, "Don''t


    worry about me, Mr. Lu. I am sure that your wife is waiting for you. Drive safely."


    Charles replied with a smile and saw Le''s taxi off. He couldn''t wait to get home, so he drove quickly


    to Dream Garden, only to find Autumn not at home. His grandpa said that she had left for work.


    Autumn went to work as soon as she felt better as there were so many things that needed to be done.


    I waspetent and could very well be trusted, but she couldn''t handle all the affairs by herself.


    Moreover, staying at home only made Autumn''s imagination run wild. And that was a worse


    punishment than being up to her neck in work. It was better to distract herself with it.


    When I saw Autumne, she looked at her in a weird manner, surprised to see her back so soon.


    "I thought you were sick. Weren''t you rushed to the hospital just the other day? I''m sure you are not


    fully recovered yet. Why don''t go back home and rest some more?"


    "I am used to being busy. You know that about me, don''t you?" Autumn smiled at I and asked, "Are


    the materials ready?''


    "Almost ready, " I replied causally. She was more concerned about Autumn''s health and well-being.


    Things at Cloud Advertising Company were still well within control. "Autumn, I don''t want to interfere


    with your personal affairs, but you …" hesitated I.


    "I!" Autumn interrupted in a stern voice, "I am not in the mood to talk about it."


    Autumn looked serious, so I''s face broke into a smile to change the atmosphere. "Okay, okay. Sorry


    about that. In that case, don''t hesitate to let me know if I can help with anything."


    After lunch, she had dealt with the most urgent tasks, including the most important documents.


    Knowing I was busy, she went to the hotel alone to discuss the details of the Giant Promise


    Company''sunch event.


    When Charles arrived at the Cloud Advertising Company, Autumn again, wasn''t in her office. His wife


    was getting harder and harder to find. I happened to see him as she walked into the hall.


    "Mr. Lu, I heard you have gone to Europe?" she mocked. "What brought you back so soon?" I


    addressed Charles in a polite way, calling him "Mr. Lu." But her tone wasn''t natural.


    I thought Autumn had suffered a lot since she married Charles. She hated the fact that although


    their marriage was happy, Autumn endured too much hate because of him. He was to be med for


    the whole thing.


    "Miss Zhao, where is my wife? Have you seen her?" Charles had driven from their house to the office.


    He got increasingly annoyed when he found out that Autumn wasn''t there either. He had no choice but


    to ask I for help.


    I replied with a forced smile, "Mr. Lu, you are ridiculous. She is my boss. Do you think there is any


    need for her to inform me of her entire schedule? As for you, you are her husband. You should know


    where she is. Funny, isn''t it?"


    "I…" Charles was confused about I''s double edged attitude. She sounded friendly, but there were


    hostile undertones of it. But he didn''t care much about it. He thought, ''I is Autumn''s good friend. If


    Autumn was unhappy, it''s normal for her to jump to Autumn''s defense. I admit, I haven''t been a very


    good husbandtely.''


    He was eager to know the whereabouts of Autumn. So he exined, almost begging, "I arrived just


    now. Straight from the airport. My grandpa said that she hade to work. I didn''t see her in her office


    and I can''t get through to her phone. Please tell me where she has gone."


    I didn''t reply. "Miss Zhao, I know Autumn is not only your boss, but also your good friend. I am sure


    you know where she is, " Charles continued asking.


    Seeing him somewhat upset, I kind of felt bad for him.


    On one hand, Autumn went through hell in thest couple of days. As Autumn''s friend, she wanted


    Charles to feel what Autumn had experienced. On the other hand, she knew that Autumn loved


    Charles. If she found out that her husband had unexpectedly returned, Autumn would be happy again.


    I was still struggling inside.


    Charles began perspiring heavily as he urged her some more, "Miss Zhao, I don''t know what has


    happened during my stay in Europe. We couldn''t have a real talk unless I find her. What''s more, I heard


    that she is not feeling well now. I am really worried about her. She shouldn''t even have left the house.


    Please help me find my wife."
