John could not take his mind off Nina and Helen's conversation earlier. He had wanted to tell Nina about how he felt about her, but he had been hesitating. Being open about emotions was not his style after all.
Only others took the initiative to confess their feelings. John had never been like those people, and nobody could make him talk about things that he did not want to talk about.
But in the end, he decided he had a reason this time to confess. His little girl had already expressed her love to him, and he was only giving her a response, a response that she deserved.
Nina was not sure at first if she had heard John right. After he said that he loved her, she blinked twice in the room's dimness as if it would help her hearing sharpen and focus. The master bedroom was a shade next to pitch black, yet she could see and feel his eyes boring straight into her soul.
Suddenly, she was hyperaware of his touch. Her heart started pounding against her ribcage, and her earlobes started burning. Everything she had done with John flashed before her eyes like a movie in fast forward.
After the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, he had taken to calling her little girl in either a playful or domineering tone.
Every time he called her "my little girl," she would have dreams of returning home.
When she was kidnapped and helpless, John was all that was in her mind. In the end,
nsideration, Mr. Shi."
John was so considerate today. Henry had to tell the others as soon as possible.
After Henry and his new assistant left John's office, Henry sent a message in the company's WeChat group. His message read, "The level ten alarm is dismissed. Mr. Shi is in a good mood, and anyone who needs him to sign something should come up quickly."
The company's WeChat group was in an uproar, and many employees were skeptical. "Henry, why is Mr. Shi in a good mood? Tell us the reason, or we won't dare come to his office."
Henry casually replied, "Mrs. Shi has found her way home."
After thinking for a while, he added, "Mr. Shi has tamed the elk in North Yard."
"In a minute!" Everyone was sending out massages in the WeChat group. Many employees rushed to the CEO's office in batches with the documents that needed to be signed.
Sure enough, John patiently signed dozens of documents. He did not nitpick, and his eyes were not as frightening as before.
Some employees even went out of John's office with tears in their eyes. They thought, 'Thank you, Mrs. Shi. Long live Mrs. Shi.'
Lying in bed, Nina had sneezed for the whole afternoon, which frightened Helen. When Helen was about to go downstairs and call John, she saw a familiar person.
"Ms. Shi?" Helen was a little surprised. Jessica had never set foot in North Yard. Why did she come today?
