She Is A CEO

Chapter 1082 Keep a Trick up His Sleeve

As the four of them went down to rest and prepare for tomorrow's mission, Stoffer walked up to Lauren hesitantly as if he had something to say.

"Spit it out. If you don't want to say it, then keep it to yourself," Lauren lazily glanced at Stoffer and said.

Stoffer immediately rushed to speak, "Young Master, when I transferred them over here, your father happened to find out about this too. He kept asking me why we needed more bodyguards..." "What did you say?" Lauren glanced at Stoffer again.

"I told him that the situation here is complicated and that Young Master needs more people..."

Lauren gave Stoffer a disdainful look. He could come up with such excuses? The situation in Athegate was complicated?

Stoffer felt like his soul had left his body after being looked down upon by Lauren. "I really don't know what else I can say..."

"I know my dad likes asking you guys when he has something on his mind instead of coming directly to me." Lauren waved her hand as if he wouldn't pursue the matter any further. "But what if he asks again in the future..." Stoffer asked carefully.

"Let him come ask me himself." Lauren snorted and closed his eyes pretending to sleep, leaving only Stoffer with a bitter face wondering whether he dared talk back like that with Lauren's father!

After receiving news from Lauren's deployment plan, Lucia took a risk and warned Miles to be careful. Miles didn't say much on the phone but brought one of their subordinates who had already been transferred early into Athegate into StandHill the next day instead.

At first they were only protecting Casper secretly but soon Casper discovered there were more people around him than usual so they went straight ahead looking for Miles for an explanation. Miles used his identity as leverage and made one of the company executives vacate an office space which now became his own where he sat every day without anyone daring oppose him. "What do you mean by sending people after me?" As soon as Casper entered Miles' office, he walked straight up towards his desk slamming it hard while questioning Miles angrily. "I'm here every day so wherever you go, I'll know about it anyway. Why would I need someone following your every move?" Miles stared directly at Casper while speaking calmly.

"Then why did you send those people after me?" Casper scolded unhappily; now there were always ten or so people following him everywhere making everything inconvenient, which he didn't like at all! "You can't die." Miles' answer sounded inexplicable causing confusion on Casper's face.

"What are you talking about?"

"If you want to live, don't question my decision. I have no intention of monitoring you and your life is not in danger. You know that," Miles spoke with hidden words, not telling Casper the reason. Casper and Miles locked eyes for a long time. Seeing that he was unwavering, Casper could only shake his hand fiercely and leave.

As soon as he left, Leon quickly approached and asked, "Boss, what did Miles say?"

Casper was wary because there were still people from Miles following him. He glared at Leon to be careful with his words before saying, "From what I understand, these people were sent to protect me." "Ridiculous," Leon sneered without hesitation. He even provocatively glanced at the several underlings of Miles who silently followed them and said, "We're here to protect your safety. Why do we need them?" "No!" Casper raised his hand to stop Leon's sneer. "Miles doesn't seem like he's joking around here. And how do you know that no one will dare kill me?"

Leon had a sudden realization and quickly said, "Could it be..."

Casper silenced him with just one look before saying, "Let them follow us." The more people there were meant more protection; he knew that Miles valued his life greatly.

A week later, Kevin was finally discharged from the hospital. Nia brought Eve along to pick him up from the hospital since she had been extremely friendly towards Eve lately - her sister who personally convinced Lauren to help her get rid of Casper. How could she not "cherish" her?

Moreover, three days ago Lauren had already called Stoffer and Dely back so during this period even if Casper happened upon himself by chance at business gatherings or events again, he wouldn't provoke or harass her anymore - now Nia could be at ease.

Kevin had just recovered. Although his body hadn't fully returned back its previous state yet, it was enough for him move around freely on discharge day when he told Nia,

"Nia, I've been discharged now so let me handle company affairs from now on since you've worked hard during this time."

Nia's eyes lit up as she affectionately took Kevin's arm while saying, "What are you talking about? You've always worked too hard before anyway! During this period I slowly learned how manage our company better so let's work together in future."

Nia's words sounded normal enough while her expression seemed natural, but Kevin felt something wasn't quite right about it all as he looked down at Nia's smiling face saying,

"Nia... are you still..."

"What are you talking about?" Nia immediately scolded with a serious tone, "I just don't want you to be too tired. I handed over the company to you completely before, but now that I'm personally handling it, I know there are many trivial matters. I just want to share some of the burden with you..."NôvelDrama.Org content.

Kevin didn't say anything more when he heard this and affectionately kissed Nia before saying, "Okay, let's do it together."

Eve had been following them all along and understood everything Kevin didn't guess. Her sister already had suspicions about Kevin so she couldn't fully trust him anymore. Looking at them being affectionate and cuddling together while having different thoughts made Eve feel complex emotions.

Wasn't being together wholeheartedly enough?

Eve didn't understand Nia's approach.

Thinking like this, Eve unconsciously slowed down her pace and fell behind Nia and Kevin in no time. Although Nia noticed her falling behind earlier on, she didn't turn around to call out for her sister; instead a smug expression appeared on her lips.

Kevin also noticed Eve slowly falling behind and took advantage of this opportunity by eagerly asking Nia.

"Has Lauren started moving yet?"

"Yeah, he has started," said Nia proudly as if it was all thanks to her efforts. "He brought back four assassins from Mexico. They are now lurking around Casper so we just have to wait for good news." Kevin was overjoyed upon hearing this news; he held onto Nia's hand tightly saying,

"We can finally get rid of this big problem!"

"Shh..." Nia secretly looked back at Eve before continuing. "Don't let her hear us talking about it because I know she isn't fully supportive of me."

Kevin kept quiet but his smile couldn't be wiped off his face.

When Eve snapped out of it, she realized that both her sister and Kevin were far away from herself already; she quickened up her pace until catching up with them again then innocently said, "Mr. Berry, you finally discharged today! My sister has been worried sick about you but now she can finally relax."
