Chapter 372 - New Boss

Everyone gaped as Johanna was followed by Keira's assistant and secretary together with a few of her bodyguards. She then entered the conference room as the directors stood for her. She sat down as they followed. 

"Good Morning, I am Johanna Elton, the new CEO of the Golden Age and agencies under GA." 

They were very much surprised that she took over the Golden Age. 

"Yes, that's right. I am Keira's secretary and I know everything in the company. So those who are against it, you may leave now." She said calmly. Her intimidating aura made them shiver a little. She flipped through the documents. "Somehow, everything is doing well." She said, "But there are some things that I need to confirm." She dug in through the documents. Although she was pregnant and mostly taking care of their baby. Keira always asked for her suggestions and so was Henry too. 

She's too familiar with the company and her salary was bigger with allowances. She needs to work ten times at the same time. Besides being a boss in the company, she also needs to practice her physique. Sooner or later, she would face her brother who was being controlled by the Charles Empire. 

She was silent as she scanned the papers and handed them to her secretary. The awkward and intimidating atmosphere made the director gulp while watching her. She's very much different from Keira. She's scarier than Keira. She could spot a mistake right away. 

"That and that…" She sighed. "There's so much to change." She then looked at the profiles of the newly hired. She sighed and read them and threw the papers somewhere. She crossed her legs and she read more when suddenly her phone rang. 

She reached it. 

"Excuse me." She said as she answered. "What is it?" She mumbled. 

"Your baby… our daughter. Alessandro won't give her to me." 

"Okay," She sighed. "You should be happy. Make sure that Alessandro would feed her." 

"What? Are you hearing me now? I am having an anxiety separation whenever Quinn is not in my arms." He seemed to have an anxiety attack. 

"Hey, let him be," Johanna said. "It is better than trying to kill himself." 

The directors were surprised by Johanna's words. She wasn't like that when she was Keira's secretary. 

"Let him," Johanna told him. "Calm down, okay?" 

"Jo, how can I calm down? He stole my Quinn!" 

She reached her temple. 

"I'm in the meeting right now. You take care of that." She said calmly. 

"But~~Jo!" 

She hung up and sighed. 

"Sorry about that." 

They were very much curious about the phone call since she mentioned Alessandro. She tapped her fingers. 

"Can you please get us food? I'm starving." She asked the assistant who quickly moved. 

"Yes, ma'am." 

The meeting continued and the food that was delivered to them was good. She was eating while working at the same time. Then, Connor calls again as she listens to him panicking. 

"For the second time, just stay with them!" She scolded as she stood to leave her food. She turned back and mumbled about the things that Connor did. She knew well that Connor always gets separation anxiety whenever someone's holding Quinn. "I need to eat. You need to eat. Let him take care of her. Okay?" 

Connor sighed from the other line.

Connor stayed in the corner of the room while Alessandro was playing with Quinn. He couldn't even touch Quinn since Alessandro would glare at him. 

"Check her diapers," Connor told him. Alessandro finally gave Quinn to him as Connor checked her diapers and changed. Then, he looked at Alessandro who was already sleeping while sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard. She hugged Connor's neck and yawned. "Alright, I feel bad for your uncle. Maybe we should also stay here and sleep with him. But daddy's quite hungry." 

He went downstairs as their guests went to their respective rooms. They are Alessandro and Keira's friends and it's like they are in the hotel. But the funeral was only for two days and tomorrow they will have to bury her. The kitchen and everyone are busy. Now, he wondered what Wendy was currently doing. Anyway, he went to the balcony and asked the maids for food. He sat down and fed Quinn from the bottle that had her mother's milk. 

He watched from the balcony the people who are currently preparing for the burial that will be held in this compound. They already set up a place where they are going to hold it and he doesn't know if Alessandro would even survive. But if it happens to Johanna, he might feel the same… he might feel dread. 

"Baby girl, your mom is a very strong woman. She's also stubborn and bossy. We need to protect her." 

"Hmm?" Quinn looked up at him with those wide eyes. 

"I told you, she's stubborn. So don't be like your mom. But anyway, we both love your mom and she's just perfect. Do you agree?" 

Quinn cooed and seemed to agree with him. 

"Right," He pointed to her nose. "I hope your mommy isn't scaring the people in the company." He mumbled. Then, Quinn stopped sucking and seemed to grin. "I think, your mom is already torturing them." He kissed his forehead. "Finished that up, Princess. So you could sleep."

Henry reached the villa. He sighed and parked the car inside the garage. The garage quickly closed and then Harvey approached him and took the paper bags. 

"So, no one followed you?" He asked. 

"No. I made sure of that. And since they found out that I am also alive, I have to stay here for a while." 

"Fine," Leon came up and took the other groceries. Then, they went inside. Henry quickly rushed to the massage sofa and hugged her daughter. 

"Dad, I'm fine," Keira said as she reached his cheek. "Where's mom?" 

"She needs to check on a few things." Henry kissed her forehead. "She's very much worried."

"And Alessandro?" She asked. Henry didn't answer. 

"Let's eat?" He suggested. 

"Dad, how about my husband?" 

Henry doesn't want to tell her that he's been trying to take his life. But with the people around him, he's sure that Alessandro will be safe. 

"Alessandro can't know yet that you are here," Henry said as he helped her stand. She somehow had an injury on her left ankle but overall, she's fine. 

"But tell me he's fine. He might be already losing his mind." Keira said and held on to Henry tightly. 

"How's the baby?" He asked. 

"Baby is good. Healthy." She smiled at him. "But," She creased her brows. "Alessandro is not doing well, right?" 

"Yes, he's not," Henry said truthfully. "Let's not talk about that. You have to eat and get well." He kissed her temple. 

"Dad. I am worried about my husband. Can you please tell him? I know that this is half of my plan. That's why we are in the villa that Travis gave as a gift. We were preparing this for a long time, but my husband he's very much in trauma." She stressed out. 

"You shouldn't stress over such things." Violet put down the cooked meal on the table. "I will have to go after your burial to pick up my son." She told her. 

"Kal!" Keira exclaimed. 

"Yes," Violet winked. "Currently, Connor was having an anxiety attack after Alessandro stole his daughter." 

"What?" Keira was confused as Henry pulled a chair for her. She sat down slowly. When she smelled the food, her mouth watered. "How did that happen?" She asked Violet as Henry pulled the soup to serve Keira. 

"Well, he said that he excused himself and gave Quinn to one of the boys but she was wailing so Alessandro took her and she clung to him and that's why he didn't want to let go of the baby." 

"Oh," Keira pouted. 

"And Alessandro found out that you are pregnant." 

"What?" Keira smacked her forehead. "Damn, of course. He will be more devastated. But please, tell him that I am alive and safe." She told Henry. "Dad, if something bad happens to him, I will go crazy too." 

"I will." He patted her back. "You need to get well soon. Okay?" Henry kissed her top head. Then, he went toward Harvey where he's currently checking Wendy's movement. "So, have you found that Jeremy bastard?" He grumbled. 

"Nope. After the old man got sick and was comatose, he didn't show up. I tracked him and somehow, he met a doctor from Korea. He's a plastic surgeon. So, he might have already changed his face. If he recognized you as a lady or maybe a man then," he shrugged. "I think it is better if you are cautious." 

"I will." Henry crossed his arms. "Locate your mom." 

Henry typed on the computer to show where his mother is right now. Currently, she's outside the mansion of the Charles Empire. She delivered a box for Wendy in a fancy black outfit. 

"Your mom is pretty." Henry grinned as he watched his wife from the body camera of one of their bodyguards. 

"Uhuh," He glanced at his father who was grinning while watching his wife. "Anyway," he shrugged at him. 

"Dad, is my husband even eating? You have to tell him, okay?" Keira called out. 

"I will darling," Henry said. 

"Right, you stay here. I will go home to check on my wife.." Henry said as he gave the headset to his father.
