CEO's Contract Obsession-Chapter 246: Everything in Order (1)

Considering the significance of tomorrow’s events, the Welsh couple opted against engaging in any overtime work, aiming to retire early in order to ensure ample rest.

Tomorrow marks the grand opening of Bellory’s fourth branch, conveniently situated on the ground floor of Welsh Holdings’ Building, adjacent to the main entrance. Interestingly, this particular branch happens to be Amy’s second most cherished location, following closely after the primary branch situated on the farm.

This is because this branch is the one that she can conveniently visit daily, probably grabbing her morning coffee before heading to work. Moreover, it holds sentimental value as it was a wedding gift from Henry, making it even more special.

In a symbolic gesture of Henry’s commitment to her. He transferred the lease agreement of the unit to Amy’s name, granting her lifetime ownership. Thus, Amy now technically owns the place.

As Amy prepared to leave the office, packing up her belongings, a knock on the door interrupted her. Glancing at the glass window, she motioned for the person outside to enter.

Wearing broad smiles on their faces, Henry entered Amy’s office. However, she couldn’t help but notice Henry’s hand concealing something behind his back as he approached her.

With excitement in her voice, Amy asked, "Do you have something for me?"

"I certainly do," Henry replied, giving Amy a bouquet of white roses. "These are for new beginnings, my one and only Mrs. CEO," he said, causing Amy to giggle with delight.

"That’s incredibly sweet of you, thank you," Amy responded gratefully. "New beginnings, indeed," she added, planting a kiss on Henry’s lips.

"Are you ready to go?" Henry inquired, and Amy nodded in confirmation. As Henry went over to Amy’s desk to retrieve her briefcase, his eyebrows furrowed when he felt its weight. "Whoa, do you have bricks in here?" he jokingly remarked, puzzled by the heaviness.

Amy chuckled and clarified, "Those are actually resumes for the positions that need to be filled. Once Kevin and perhaps Josephine too, are out of Bellory, I need people to replace them. Additionally, I want to review the performance of the employees in the main branch. My preference is to promote from within rather than hiring new people for higher positions."

"That’s actually a good idea, but are you planning to work late tonight? I thought we were going to relax," Henry responded.

"Of course, my love, I won’t work tonight," Amy reassured, embracing Henry by wrapping her arms around his neck. "I’ll simply take this briefcase home, and on Saturday, Mary and I will go through it. She mentioned that you and Anton will be at the site, so we girls will have our own work party at the mansion," Amy explained with a smile.

Henry asked in confusion, "Anton and I are going to the site on Saturday? Why wasn’t I aware of this?"

"Yes, and you just repeated my words. It’s because your focus has been on the investigation lately. Come on, let’s go. I’ve already asked Demi to inform the chef to prepare something special for us," Amy remarked, planting a quick kiss on Henry’s lips before playfully ushering him out of her office.

Upon their arrival at the mansion, Henry immediately noticed the cheerful atmosphere engulfing everyone, particularly Charles and Demi.

"Welcome home Sir, Madam," Charles greeted.

"I suppose the dinner must be exceptional for everyone to be in such high spirits, don’t you think?" Henry asked Charles while handing him his coat and Amy’s briefcase.

"Yes, Sir. However, your uncle needs you to sign some documents before dinner. His secretary is waiting for you in the study," Charles informed him.

Henry turned towards Amy, intending to express something, but before he could speak, she cut him off with a smile.

"That’s alright, Henry, go ahead and attend to that first. Just join me when you’re finished," Amy reassured him.

With Henry out of sight, Amy shifted her attention to Charles and Demi. "Is everything in order? Have you done everything I instructed?" she inquired.

"Yes, Amy, we have indeed completed all the tasks you assigned us, and we even went the extra mile," Demi whispered to her.

"Alright, excellent. Wait for him to finish, and I’ll head there first. Guide him where to go." Amy said before making her way towards their dinner spot tonight.

However, she suddenly stopped and turned back, her gaze filled with gratitude. "Demi, Charles... Thank you both so much for going above and beyond," she expressed sincerely. The two bowed in acknowledgment, accepting her gratitude wholeheartedly.

Amy ventured towards the right wing of the mansion, an area she and Henry hadn’t explored together since she began living there. Although she was aware of its existence, her visits to that part of the mansion had been limited to the time when she was on medical leave.

Amy meticulously inspected everything that she had instructed Demi and Charles to do, and she was overjoyed to find that it was not only executed flawlessly but exceeded her expectations. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction and contentment with the outcome.

Upon confirming that everything was in perfect order, Amy hurriedly made her way to the master bedroom. She was eager to change into the outfit she had purchased specifically for this evening, a garment chosen with great care and thinking.

In addition to her own outfit, Amy had also purchased a matching outfit for Henry. The thought of packing it brought a playful giggle to her lips. She then proceeded to the bathroom, eager to try the kit she had purchased. To her delight, it proved to be a success.

With all her preparations complete, Amy quickly went down the stairs, she couldn’t wait to reveal the surprise she had in store for him.

As they stood outside the study, Charles couldn’t contain his curiosity and posed a question to Demi. "Demi, can you enlighten me as to why we’re not allowed to serve Amy and Henry during their dinner?" he inquired.

Demi couldn’t help but giggle mischievously before whispering her response, leaving Charles with a dropped jaw and widened eyes. "Well, Charles, I have a strong suspicion that Amy is planning to seduce Henry tonight," she revealed, relishing in the shock on Charles’ face.
