Chapter 285 - Wedding Candies

As soon as the vehicle pulled over at the parking spot, Assistant Shawn walked over and waited outside the door. A bright smile curled on his lips when Assistant Shawn saw his boss stepped out of the vehicle with his face full of vitality. "President Mo, congratulation on your marriage."

One glance at Neil's face, Assistant Shawn was able to tell that the man was in a very good mood. 

The smile on Neil's face stretched up longer as he thanked the assistant. Seconds later, the smile on his face disappeared and Neil looked at his assistant with a serious look on his face. However, Neil's reddened ears betrayed his emotion.

Seeing the look on his face, his boss's face, Assistant Shawn knew that he shouldn't think about teasing his boss. He cleared his throat and quickly summarized the day's agenda. They entered the elevator and went straight to the president's floor. 

As soon as they walked into the office, Assistant Shawn handed over a file in his hand and watched as Neil put his signature on the papers. After it was done, Assistant Shawn looked up again and continued, "President Mo, that prosecutor, Jennifer Jiang, and her brother, wanted to arrange a meeting this evening. How should I respond?"

Neil gave the matter a thought. "Do I have any arrangement in the evening?"

"No."

"Tell them to arrange the place and time," Neil said. "I will be there on time."

Assistant Shawn left the room after a while and Neil clicked at some icon on his screen and looked at the calendar. 

Earlier, during breakfast, his mother had mentioned picking up a date for a wedding ceremony. Since they had already obtained their wedding certificate, Sophie was too excited to plan a wedding ceremony for the couple.

His gaze swept across the screen and paused when he looked at the reminder. 

Hazel's birthday was coming, and a few months after that… it would be the death anniversary for both Adam and Claire.

Neil lowered his gaze and a deep frown appeared on his face. 

Soon, his plan to expose those directors should take place. He did not want to drag this matter on for a long time. Moreover… there was still that matter about Edith's mother and the other murdered victim.

As he thought about the General Attorney's crime, he became so infuriated. Someone like him should never be allowed to wander around the street.

Neil was in the middle of browsing through a few documents when a knock was heard from the door. Assistant Shawn reappeared at his door. 

"President Mo," Assistant Shawn hesitated before he spoke. "Your mother sent a few boxes of candies for you."

"What?" Neil blinked, puzzled.

Assistant Shawn cleared his throat when he realized that his words sounded a little strange. "They're wedding candies. She said, it's a good thing to share the good news with everyone and had instructed me to distribute the candy box to every employee. President Mo, what do you think I should do?"

He was someone who worked under Neil and therefore, he should ask his boss's opinion on this matter. 

Neil pondered over this matter and thought that it was indeed a good thing to share the news. Anyway, he had never intended to hide his marriage with Edith.

"Go ahead and distribute them."

Assistant Shawn smiled as he gave his response. Then, he walked out of the President's office and went downstairs to deal with the boxes of candies. 

Just as his assistant had walked out, the phone on his desk buzzed. His expression changed when he saw the name on the caller ID. Neil swiped his finger on the screen and quickly answered the call.

The person who called Austin reported to him of the General Attorney's movement in Capital City told Neil that the man was meeting a few influential people in the city and on this trip, the General Attorney had brought along his former assistant.

Neil's expression changed slightly. He could remember that the last time Mike had an accident when he had encounter the General Attorney and his former assistant. On that day, the General Attorney was heading towards the airport. 

It seemed that the General Attorney was sending the former assistant to the airport on the day that Grandpa was following him. After instructing Austin to find out the former assistant's purpose to visit the Capital City, Neil continued his work. His fingers on the keyboard halted when a face appeared in his mind.

Neil touched his phone and stopped again when another knock was heard on the door. Heaving a long sigh, Neil gave his permission to enter. 

The door was pushed from the outside and soon a head was peeking behind the door.

Noticing the silence, Neil lifted his head and saw the person he was missing had appeared. Thinking that he was probably missing his newlywed wife too much, Neil gave himself a pinch on his thigh. He only stood up when he felt the pain.

"When did you get here?" he reached to her side and kissed her forehead. 

"A while ago," Edith said. "Mom took me and Hazel and we choose some candies to be distributed among your employees. I was downstairs to watch them lift the boxes into the building."

"Assistant Shawn did not mention this to me." Neil frowned and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"I told him not to say anything. Or else, how can I come up here and surprise you?" Edith stared at him for a while and narrowed her eyes. "Now that everyone knows that you're married, won't there be a few disappointed girls?"

"It's good that everyone knows." Neil led her to the sofa and pulled her to sit down with him. "At least, they would give up and stop pestering me. Mrs. Mo, I only need you to stay by my side. I don't care about what other girls might feel about it."

A wide smile spread on her face and Edith felt a little giddy. She took out a box of candies from her bag and handed it over to Neil. "What do you think?"

Neil looked at the box in her hand and commented, "It looked nice."

"I think so too." Edith took out a piece of candy from the box, unwrapped it, and pushed it into his lips. Then, she tilted her head as if waiting for his reaction. 

A slight frown appeared on his face when his tongue tasted the sweet peanut candy. "It's sweet."

"That's good." Her lips stretched up into a happy smile and Edith leaned forward to peck at his lips. "President Mo, let's have a long, sweet marriage life."

Neil felt something bloomed in his heart and he pulled her to deepen the kiss.

Once they parted, Edith glanced at his desk. "Are you busy?"

Edith was aware that Neil had taken a few days off from work because of her matter and she was feeling a little guilty about it. Now that she had returned to L City and married him, Neil had to return to the office and deal with his piling workload.

"It's not that bad," Neil said. A thought crossed his mind and Neil rested his forehead on hers.. "Mrs. Mo, what do you think about going on a mini honeymoon this weekend?"
