Chapter 154 - Indefinite Leave (2)

Shen Feng was just about to go to bed when his phone suddenly rang. He reached his phone from the bedside table and saw that it is Hannah who is calling which made him frown. What could possibly be the reason why Hannah would call this late.

This thought made him a little worried and so he immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Hannah? Why are you calling this late, did something happen?" he didn't try to conceal the worry in his voice.

"Uncle Feng, I think this time the president will take a serious action on me now. I might be forced to confess our connection. She just came back from the America today because of what happened with the Southville project and it seems like she will deal with anyone who has a connection with an outside force and nobody will be spared."

There was a slight trembling in her voice as if she is trying her best not to cry and Shen Feng naturally understands the reason behind this.

All of these might have started with Hannah wanting to help him but the time she stayed beside Xi Ana is so long that she eventually grew closer to Xi Ana more than she thought she'll ever be.

If he knew that things will turn out this way, he would have been more forceful on not letting Hannah stay as Xi Ana's ȧssistant before.

He did plan to have someone he knows work at the Top Floor which Xi Ana was already preparing that time but he didn't think an ȧssistant would work but Hannah managed to do that and now that Xi Ana will soon know about it there is no way they will not be paying the price.

This might even lead to their father and daughter relationship which is already on the rocks be a lot worse than it is now.

"It's fine. You can tell her, it's not like this is something that we can keep from her forever anyway. You don't have to worry about me, I chose this so I must see the consequences it brings. Tell Ana that it was all on me, she might give you a leeway that way."

Actually, though Hannah took the initiative to do this at the end he was still the one on the receiving end and he did accept the information from Hannah and that was his fault

"I can't do that, Uncle Feng."

Hearing Hannah's response made him sigh. Her stubbornness has never changed for all these years. Even when he offered help for her mother's hospital expenses before she was also like this.

"You've always been like this, Hannah. What did Ana tell you exactly?"

"She told me that I have to think hard whether still want to stay and work as her ȧssistant or not anymore."

It is no doubt that Xi Ana knew about Hannah working for another person but she might not expect that it was him. Once Hannah confessed, it will be inevitable for the two of them not to talk. From his understanding of his daughter, she is the type of person who will try to get to the bottom of it.

He didn't notice that he not yet responded and just when he was about to do it, Hannah spoke. "Anyway that's all I wanted to say, Uncle Feng. As for the decision of the president regarding me I'll take care of it so make sure you do not try to intercede. It does not matter who's idea this whole thing is, the main point is that I did deceive her."

Shen Feng really didn't know how to respond to that and eventually Hannah said she still had something to do which allowed the call to end.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/indefinite-leave-(2)_51417337433214267">#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/indefinite-leave-(2)_51417337433214267</a> for visiting.

That night he really didn't get much sleep and so the next day he got up a lot earlier and was the first one to get to the table for breakfast. "Master Feng."

He waved his hand to indicate that there is no need for such formalities and then he sat in his place before asking, "Is Xi Chen not yet prepared?"

Since it indeed a little bit early, the possibility of Xi Chen still preparing but the answer of the attendant shocked him a little, "Young Master Chen is about to go down already, Master Feng."

"Oh, is that so then let's wait for him before serving breakfast." Shen Feng said as he casually sipped his black coffee while reading a newspaper.

The old chairman is not around this time since he is currently on a vacation in Hawaii and so there is only Shen Feng and Xi Chen right now. After a while, Xi Chen came own and sat with hi. "Good morning, father."

Even without instructions the people around them started serving their meal. "I heard that your sister is already back."

"Yeah, she arrived last night. It can't be helped since Southville project is very important to Ana Jie. I think she might have worked straight since the moment she came back after all resolving this matter could be quite tricky in my opinion."

"It is indeed tricky but it's not impossible." he's been in the industry for so long that he already encountered similar situations like this but what made everything complicated with this case is the size of the organization as well as the other party involved.

"I wanted to visit Ana Jie but I don't think she really has the time for that." Xi Chen said that almost to himself with a sigh.

Whenever Shen Feng sees his son being clingy to his sister a part of him aches because he knew that this psychological issue may be due to the fat that he lost his mother so early than he naturally regard Xi Ana as the only mother figure he has in his life.

It also reminds him that Xi Wei is no longer by his side and that will remain like that for the rest of his life.

The two of them soon finished their breakfast and went to work together. This time they had their family chauffeur to send them to the company so they both sat at the back seat of the car.

As soon as they reached Xi Corporation they went to their respective offices and it doesn't seem like there are big changes with Xi Ana coming back. If it wasn't because of Hannah who called him last night, he too would think that this days will pass like any normal day in the office.

Shen Feng then started with his work. Once his focus is on his work it will be really hard for him to track his time . He was too immersed with what he's doing and didn't know that the two topmost floors of Xi Corporation has already received the notification and they are already feeling unsettled.

This continued until he had received a call from Hannah, only then did he check the time and to his surprise it is already lunch time.

He has yet to answer the call but he could already feel that what Hannah might say is the final decision that X Ana came up to.

"Hello, Uncle Feng?"

"Hannah."

"I just called to tell you that I will be on an indefinite leave for now. That is what the decision that the president came to. For now, there is a person from the secretarial office to help her out during this time. I think, given my situation this is better than what I thought it would be."

That's right. If Xi Ana didn't consider anything, Hannah might have been dismissed immediately. "Then you're fine with that, even though the chances that Ana might call you back to your post is slim?"

"Of course, Uncle Feng. Right now, I will just think of this as an opportunity to rest."

"If you think of it that way then it's good. Don't forget to take care of yourself, leaving Xi Ana's side at a time like this might cause people to think about different things. Do you get what I mean, Hannah?

"I know, Uncle Feng."

The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up the call.

As soon as he put his phone down, he called for his secretary. "Yes, Master Feng?"

"Hannah will be on a leave these next few days, I think it is better to tighten the security around her. If this matter will end up on the ears of Xi Corporation's competitors it might become a problem." he instructed.

Hannah may be just an ȧssistant of Xi Ana in name but because she is the closest person working for Xi Ana it is inevitable that she knows a lot of corporate secrets of Xi Corporation. This might make those people who has ill-intentions to come after Hannah.
