Chapter 1775 Le''s Identity


    The next morning greeted Dream Garden with a bright sunshine.


    After preparing for work, Le happily went downstairs looking for Charles, only to find that he had


    already left.


    Le almost couldn''t keep her joyful expression, knowing that she just helped Charles yesterday, but


    now he had already forgotten about it. He didn''t even wait for her, so they could drive to thepany


    together. It meant to say that he didn''t care about her as much as she expected.


    "Le, don''t feel bad," Melissa tried to console her. "He left very early. He was initially going to ask you,


    but I told him to let you get some more sleep." Since Melissa had been through the experience, she


    knew how Le felt. She tried her best to exin to her thoughtfully, hoping she would not me


    Charles.


    Of course, Charles didn''t try to check on Le. Not wanting Le to feel bad, Melissa had to make up a


    white lie.


    "Aunt Melissa, I''ve got it. Thank you." Feeling embarrassed, Le''s displeased expression immediately


    disappeared after she heard Melissa''s exnation.


    Meanwhile, at the Shining Company, David was on his way to Charles'' office. Sweat was dripping from


    his forehead. He slightly pulled his polo cor to the side, hoping the gap would allow air toe in


    and help him cool down.


    David didn''t expect Charles toe in so early. He was supposed to have had his breakfast at home,


    but his phone started ringing while he was deciding on what he would have. Seeing Charles'' name on


    the caller ID, he immediately picked it up and confirmed that he was on his way. David ended up


    skipping breakfast and went straight to thepany.


    Standing in front of Charles'' office, he took a deep breath before raising his fist. Knock! Knock!


    "Come in."


    "What can I do for you, President. Lu?" David asked, catching his breath.


    "What''s wrong?" Charles asked with concern. Seeing David breathing heavily, he knew that David must


    have run over to the office.


    "President Lu, didn''t you say it''s an emergency?"


    Looking at Charles'' doubtful expression, David started to wonder if it was indeed Charles who called


    him earlier today. He was pretty sure he spoke with Charles a while ago. So why did it seem that


    Charles was surprised to see him rushing in?


    Feeling embarrassed since David had misunderstood his phone call, Charles smiled and replied,


    "Actually, it''s not an emergency. I just wanted to know my immediate schedule."


    "What?"


    David asked loudly, shocked. He didn''t expect that the reason why Charles asked him toe quickly


    was just to check on his schedule. He couldn''t believe what he heard! He had thought that it was a


    matter of life or death.


    "Can I?" Charles asked. "Why do you look so shocked?" He couldn''t help his reaction, seeing David''s


    puzzled face.


    "Oh, it''s nothing, President Lu. Just give me one moment so I can show you."


    Browsing on his iPad, David shook his head, trying to get back to his senses.


    A few secondster, he found it and advised, "President Lu, you will have some important meetings


    this week. There are a few rted to the contract renewal, so you have to attend those. The other


    small meetings are not so important, and we can just send a representative."


    Guessing that Charles must have something important to do, David only told him about the important


    meetings and waited for his reply.


    After a few moments, Charles finally spoke, saying, "Put all the meetings off till next week."


    "What?" David couldn''t help asking. Charles was not the type who would postpone work schedules


    because of his private affairs. His current requestpletely blew David''s mind. ''So, what is going on


    here?'' David thought to himself.


    "Postpone all of them. I will be traveling to Mysia with my mother from tomorrow onward," Charles


    briefly exined to David.


    Being his confidant, Charles felt that he should tell David the truth.


    Hearing Charles'' exnation, David immediately understood and nodded his head. He knew that


    Melissa was suffering from poor healthtely, and Charles would want to do what he could to make her


    happy.


    David was touched by Charles'' n. After all, it was the first time that he saw Charles make his


    personnel affairs a top priority.


    He understood that Charles would do this because of his filial love for his mother.


    "Okay, President Lu, I got it. I will make the necessary arrangements for your trip and your schedule. I''ll


    send you the tickets to Mysia and the revised scheduleter," feeling enlightened as to what was


    going on, David replied respectfully.


    Satisfied, Charles nodded at him. He knew that David would never let him down. He didn''t need to say


    anything further. David bowed his head and took his exit.


    Like most days, Le was waiting outside Charles'' office, curious to know what was going on. When


    she arrived, she learned that David had been called for by Charles, and she wasn''t sure what they


    were talking about.


    As the door to Charles'' office opened, and David quietly walked out, Le hastily approached him and


    smiled. "Good morning, David. You''re here so early. What happened in there? Do you need any help?"


    "Secretary Zhang, why do you always interfere in President Lu''s business? I don''t think I need to report


    to you whatever it is that President Lu just asked me to do."


    David always disliked Le. In fact, they had never liked each other from the beginning. But they got


    along easily since they didn''t have to pretend to be polite and friendly.


    "You..."


    Le felt dissatisfied, knowing David was mocking her. She was about to say something, but David


    interrupted her, saying, "Secretary Zhang, I think you''d better restrain yourself. After all, the CEO hasn''t


    seen your true colors yet. If you continue to be careless like this, you might ruin everything you''ve


    managed to achieve so far."


    David wasn''t good with mockery, but he tried his best to match up to Le. He didn''t mind being a bad


    man when faced with a woman who had exhausted all her abilities.


    Le snubbed herment, but David wasn''t bothered at all. He went back to his office contently, with


    Charles'' instructions in mind. He had to book the tickets for the trip.


    Seeing David leave, Le stomped her foot in anger, but there was nothing that she could do. She


    knew that David was Charles'' confidant, and he would never betray Charles, not for the entire Shining


    Company.


    David was an eyesore to Le at work, but she couldn''t handle him. She could feel her cheeks burn in


    anger.


    Le didn''t know what favor Sheryl had given to David, who only acknowledged Sheryl as the wife of


    CEO of the Shining Company.


    She didn''t expect that David, who looked like an honest and hardworking employee, would threaten


    her.


    Le couldn''t figure out the reason. But she believed that every human being had a weakness. For


    sure, David was not an exception. Le couldn''t help but smile just thinking about it. When the time


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    came that she discovered what David''s weakness was, he would fall under her feet.


    Meanwhile, at the Dream Garden, Charles stepped out of his car after Le got out of the passenger


    seat.


    He had gone home directly, together with Le, after he finished today''s work. Melissa didn''t look at all


    well yesterday, so he wanted to spend more time with her today.


    Le, being smart enough, seemed to realize that Charles wanted to have time alone with his mother,


    so she went to help Nancy with dinner preparations.


    "Le, since you''re a guest, I don''t think it''s appropriate for you to be in the kitchen preparing dinner."


    Nancy was busy cooking the soup when Le came in. Even though she was displeased to see her,


    Nancy tried her best to control herself and be polite.


    "Nancy, I''m not a guest. I''m now Charles'' woman. Why do you think it''s inappropriate for me to make


    dinner?"


    Le had been treating Nancy as her eyesore at home. With Nancy questioning her identity on


    purpose, why would she not retort?


    Not expecting Le''s response, Nancy was shocked and lost for words. She continued stirring the


    soup, her eyes watching Le.


    As the saying goes, "A person needs a face like a tree needs its bark." Nancy couldn''t understand how


    Le could so easily say such words. ''How could she be so shameless? Sheryl and Charles haven''t


    even divorced yet. And this woman already can''t wait to say that she is Charles'' woman!'' Nancy


    thought.
