At this moment, a knock echoed in the office. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Emily Walker was visibly startled, jerking her head around to fix her terrified gaze on the office door from where the sound emanated.

Noticing her panic, Baron Stuart abruptly rose and moved to her side, protectively wrapping her in his arms before turning to the door and ordering quietly, “Enter.”

In came secretary Bennett Philine. Upon seeing Baron, she smiled politely and nodded slightly. “Mr. CEO, this is the urgent planning proposal from the South Korean partner that arrived earlier. They need your personal review and signature.”

After speaking, Philine shifted her gaze to Mrs. Walker, who she had not seen in a while, and gave her a friendly nod and a slight smile.

But Philine was stunned by Emily’s reaction. Usually, Mrs. Walker would return her smile. What was wrong with her today…

Was her perception off? Why did it seem as if the dignified Mrs. CEO was frightened of her, a mere secretary?

“Leave it there,” Baron directed, his gaze drifting toward his desk.

Acknowledging this, Bennett Philine placed the document on his desk and left, bearing a puzzled expression.

Only when the secretary had left did Baron feel the grip on his clothes loosen. His tense state of mind also eased a little.

“Come, sit down.” After assuring her to rest on the sofa, Baron walked back to his desk. An hour of diligent work had reduced his towering pile of documents by more than half.

Not long after, the intercom buzzed and Philine’s sweet voice echoed again.

“Sir, you have an important meeting scheduled with the South Korean partners in ten minutes.”

“I know.”

Baron lifted his head, glancing at Emily who had drifted into a deep sleep on the sofa.

He walked towards her, bent down, and gently brushed her forehead with a feather-light kiss, and watched her peaceful, sleeping face for a while.

Afterward, he gently lifted her and took her to the specially designated rest room in the office.

Thankfully she was sleeping. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get away to attend this meeting.

Usually, she would sleep for about two hours. As long as the meeting finishes quickly, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Without his permission, no one dared to enter his office.

Gently closing the door behind him, Baron Stuart left his office to participate in the meeting with the South Korean partners.

Midway through the meeting, when he was about to present the planning proposal, Baron’s eyebrows knitted together abruptly.

He had left the cooperation plan in his office. This was a mistake he had never made before.

Philine also noticed this. Under normal circumstances, anyone who forgot to bring documents required for a meeting would have to face a furious storm! But what of this situation? Philine had delivered the documents to the CEO right before the meeting started, so if they were forgotten, would the blame fall on her or the CEO?

Just as she was feeling nervous, the President gave her a slight wave, and instructed in a low voice. “Can you run to my office and get the proposal we were discussing earlier?”

The moment he finished the sentence, Philine exhaled a sigh of relief. She was thankful that the big boss did not lose his temper without reason. She was scared stiff, and sweating coldly!

Upon receipt of her orders, Philine dashed out of the meeting room. After all, this was a very important cooperation project. Given the expressions of the Korean delegates, she knew she had to quicken her steps and directly rushed to the CEO’s office!

But just as she hurriedly extracted the said document from the office desk, in her haste she accidentally knocked over the coffee cup from which the big boss had been drinking!
