Chapter 32
Zac's allergies took him three days to recover.
During this period, he still chose to wear the turtleneck jacket every day before leaving for work despite the hot weather.
Even Anika was touched by the man’s diligence and perseverance.
Compared to a few years ago, the current Zac had gone through a significant change.
In high school, Zac always ruined her mood whenever he was around.
But now, Anika could feel that Zac was trying to get along with her.
Anika used the remaining crabs to make soy sautéed crab and scallion oil crab roast noodles, but this time, it was all for her stomach since Zac couldn't eat seafoods.
Instead, Zac ate the noodles that were lacking in flavor every day.
He wasn't too picky.
Within the company, the North City Project continued to make an orderly and good progress.
There were no hiccups regarding the project.
According to the final contract signed by the two sides, Oliver contributed 65%.
The rest of the development work was taken care of by Steven's company, and the profits will be divided by half.
50% for Oliver, and the rest for Steven's company.
The terms of the contract were too good, which made Anika feel a little weak inside.
She even guessed what Zac was up to.
After all, apart from cooperating with him in shaping his identity and image, he didn't seem to have done anything else.
Until now, she had benefited more from their marriage.
Ever since Kayden was hospitalized, there had been no movement on Oliver's side.
And the medical cooperation plan that had been progressing well had also been put on hold.
Although Anika didn't want to admit it, it was indeed Kayden's recent actions that forced Oliver to restrain his actions.
Even if Oliver didn't want to see the Northern City project proceed so smoothly, he was still cautious not to make any moves in this situation.
However, this action only made Anika more disgusted with Kayden.
She really didn't need to accept his so-called help.
She could do well on her own.
In the meeting room, Anika was in the process of finalizing the contract with Oliver's lawyer.
"Vice President Anika, do you have any other terms you wish to add to the agreement?"
The person sent by Oliver to connect with Stevens Company was named Larkin.
He was the director of their Development Department.
Originally, she thought that as an investor, Director Larkin might take advantage of Joe in whatever deals or work they had.
But reality proved that she was wrong.
The other party was exceptionally good at communicating and genuinely treated her with respect.
Thinking back to when she had won the North City Project from Director Larkin's team, Anika felt a little embarrassed.
After she skimmed through the contract, Anika raised her eyes and looked at the other party, "Peter, my assistant, will add the changes that I want for today.After checking and confirming it, I will personally go over and sign the contract tomorrow”
"Alright."
Larkin replied with a smile.
After hesitating for a while, he probed, "Do you want to personally bring up the matter of the ribbon cutting with President Hill?"
Hearing this, Anika was stunned.
This was the first time that someone had directly conversed her personal relationship with Zac.
Although Zac had shown his affection in front of Kayden and other people a few times, Anika also understood that people wouldn't really believe that they were a couple.
However, Larkin's question made her realize that in the eyes of many people, she and Zac were indeed husband and wife.
Because whenever they go, people could only assume that they had a very close relationship.
This feeling was indeed a bit subtle.
When she was studying abroad, she had shared with a roommate, but Zac was different.
Although they lived under the same roof and were getting along more and more as the days pass, they were still not ordinary roommates.
Anika suppressed her strange expression and caught a glimpse of Larkin's gaze.
She smiled quietly and nodded, "Yes, I will bring it up with him.”
The government planning permits have been issued, the detailed planning, and the design had been completed.
After all the preparation and the papers were dealt with, the construction would follow shortly.
Even though the previous work was done by her workers, Zac was still required to attend the ribbon- cutting ceremony.
"Boss, Mr.Shawn's entanglement with your wife ...That's probably all there is to it and nothing more.”
In the president's office, Frederick had just finished reporting on what Zac had told him about the investigation.
Then, he silently prayed in his heart waiting for his boss's reply.
Seeing that Zac's eyebrows were tightly knitted and his expression became more solemn, Frederick paused for a moment before continuing, "Although the Cooper family's thoughts are impure, Madam seems to have taught Mr.Shawn a lesson.Mr.Shawn has been avoiding Madam ever since"
The Cooper Family had really taught their descendants good morals.
They were at a loss for words when their serious young miss arrived home.
The family had every intention of allowing Shawn grow close to Anika and marry her in their house.
‘He just picked on our boss's biggest taboo! Something Big is about to happen” Frederick thought.
Zac slapped his slim white knuckles on the table, coldly saying, "Go ahead and make the Shawn controversy public.Don't forget to go after him hard.I want to see him down on the ground!"
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Frederick instantly understood that although Zac didn't want to involve his wife, he wanted to ruin his reputation.
It was also Shawn's fault that he had too many bad debts.
Not only did he cheat on his academic credentials, he even organized cheating on important exams.
This was something that Oliver had taken a lot of effort fix.
The other party was Lucy's cousin.
As long as someone protected him, the management would be very willing to be lenient about that matter.
If they secretly operated it, they would be able to send him to prison for a few years.
Apart from Shawn, Lucy's reputation, which had already plummeted, was likely to go down once again.
After all, Oliver was the one who settled Shawn's matter, and Lucy was probably the one who knew about it.
‘Boss, targeting two people at the same time.
It's amazing!’ Frederick nodded.
He was about to get up and leave when Zac suddenly stopped him as if he remembered something.
He casually said, "Do you know what the employees are talking about recently?"
He looked at Frederick with a frown and asked about Tony's strange reminder at noon ...
‘Zac, after all, you're at work.
There are some things you should pay attention to.
Don't let the employees spread rumors about you! At that time, Zac didn't know what was going on.
So now that he could ask someone, he didn't hesitate in asking Frederick.
Frederick looked at him with a conflicted expression.
After hesitating for a long time, he said tactfully, "Boss ...why don't you stop wearing your turtleneck clothes tomorrow?"
Zac froze his eyebrows for a moment, as if he had finally thought of something.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and pursed his thin lips lightly.
He paused for a moment and said, "Oh, I see.’ He didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would arise in the company after he changed his usual clothes due to his allergy.
Seeing that the boss seemed to be in a good mood, he was relieved.
Frederick finally turned around and walked out of the office.
After he left, Zac rubbed the space between his eyebrows and chuckled.
It took him a while to clear his funny and uncomfortable thoughts.
Just as he was about to look at the contract documents sent by Larkin, the phone on the table rang ...
He reached out and picked up the phone.
Officer Smith's voice carried an indelible joy, "President Zac, your father's assistant back then surrendered at Misty Bridge City"
Zac received a phone call from Elliot after Officer Smith's call.
When he arrived at the old mansion alone, he met Scott, who had just visited Elliot and was about to leave.
As the two of them exchanged glances, Scott smiled and greeted him, "Mr.Hill, long time no see.”
"Mr.Thomson."
Zac nodded slightly, but did not address him as uncle as he did the last time they met.
Scott didn't care.
He nodded and replied softly, "Uncle Elliot has been waiting for you.I'll be going first.Have a good day.’’ After saying that, Scott headed towards the door to leave.
Walking towards the door, he silently turned around and saw half of Zac's figure disappearing from the stairwell.
Scott remembered that when he first met Zac eight years ago, he was still a half-grown adolescent.
He directly handed over the information about Demi and the others to Zac and left.
After taking a walk around, what he did could be considered to have fulfilled his personal wish.
