waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 223 Her heart ached unbearably .... On Monday , a vice president at the Livingston Group quietly submitted his resignation , citing a family emergency . The HR department reported that he was eager to leave , saying the remaining procedures could be handled online . The HR manager reminded him with a smile , " Carolyn Martinez , our company doesn't have a process for that . Please wait a little while . " Hearing this , Carolyn could only nod awkwardly , sitting down and nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead .

Just a few minutes after he sat down , the door to the HR department opened . Several uniformed investigators entered and walked straight toward Carolyn . " You're Carolyn , right ? " " Yes , that's me . " Chapter 223 " We received a tip that you're suspected of leaking secrets from the Livingston Group . Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation . " In an instant , Carolyn's face turned deathly pale . His body went limp , and he was practically dragged out by the investigators .

Everyone at the Livingston Group came out to watch the commotion , unable to resist whispering among themselves . " What happened to Carolyn ? Did he get into some trouble ? " " I heard he leaked company secrets . It must be about that last bid . " " Oh my god , so Carolyn was the mole in the company ? Then he must have been behind that incident with the branch office , too . " " Definitely . And to think we've been wrongly accusing Chase all this time ... " " That's horrible . Good thing it didn't affect the relationship between the CEO and Chase .

" Chapter 223 At this moment , the CEO's wife they were talking about , Daquan , was cuddling in the office . When Gerry came in to report on the matter , he didn't know where to look . " Um , Roderick , the person has been taken away . I'll follow up on the situation later and report back if there are any issues ." On the sofa , the two of them were sitting together , with Madeleine completely encircled in Roderick's arms , looking at the same phone . Hearing Gerry's words , Roderick didn't even lift his head . " Got it . " " Okay . By the way , Roderick ... um . " Gerry rubbed his nose .

" About that paid leave you mentioned last time ... was that for real ? " Madeleine looked up when she heard this . " Paid leave ? Chapter 223 That's great . But Gerry has been working so hard, he really should take some time to relax . " Gerry was so moved he could have cried . It was worth bringing it up specifically while Chase was present . Chase really was the best human shield ! Roderick looked up , glancing first at Madeleine , then turning his head to look at Gerry . " What , you think I'd go back on my word ? " " No , no , of course not ! " Gerry smiled awkwardly .

Roderick saw right through my little scheme ~ Roderick looked away and said calmly and generously , " Two weeks at most . I'll reimburse your expenses personally . " Gerry's eyes instantly lit up . " Thank you , Roderick ! Thank you , Chase ! " Chapter 223 Long after Gerry had left , Madeleine still hadn't processed it , asking Roderick strangely : " Why was he thanking me for no reason ? " " I don't know . " Roderick shrugged , and the two of them went back to cuddling and looking at the phone .

Not two days later , Madeleine was starting to regret speaking up for Gerry and getting him the time off . No one had told her how busy Roderick would become without Gerry around He usually completed most of his daily work with Gerry's help . Without his right - hand man , most of the work now fell to Roderick himself . Madeleine had also asked if he didn't have any other special assistants besides Gerry . There really weren't any . It turned out Gerry's experience wasn't something just anyone Chapter 223 could replace .

As a result , Roderick was so swamped he didn't even have time to eat his meals at home . The person happiest about this was Kevin . " Mommy ~ " The little guy held up the drawing he'd made in kindergarten . and excitedly went to find Madeleine . Madeleine was looking at some documents with a serious face , but when she heard her son's sweet voice , she immediately put them down and put on a happy smile . " Kev , you're back . " " Yeah ! " Kevin held the drawing up for Madeleine . " Look , Mom , I drew you . " Madeleine took it happily .

The drawing showed her holding Kevin's hand , surrounded by colorful flowers and plants . Looking at the drawing , Madeleine had mixed feelings . Chapter 223 She remembered a few months ago , when Nanette pointed to a dark , messy blob of a drawing and said it was Kevin's drawing of his mom . Madeleine had felt her heart break . Now , finally ... The bitter times were finally over . Her relationship with her son was mended , and his psychological problems had been treated .

According to her last conversation with the doctor , if Kevin's condition showed signs of improvement , she wouldn't need to worry anymore. After all , his condition had been so severe back then , mostly due to Nanette's brainwashing .
