After breakfast, I said to As, "I''m going upstairs to change. Wait for me, I''lle with you guys. I need to make a quick stop at thepany after I drop off the kids. Looks like I''ll be busy today."
"Okay. Take your time, we''ll wait for you," As said softly.
Ten minutester, the four of us happily got into the car together. After dropping off the children, As drove me to thepany.
When I arrived at thepany, Carol eximed, "Chloe, you''re back? Why are you back so soon?"
Her exmation of surprise brought Ryan and Benny over. They had arrived early at thepany.
They were all surprised at how quickly I had returned.
I hade to thepany to see Ryan. After chatting with everyone for a while, I went back to my office with Ryan. I gestured for him to sit down as I asked, "Have Mike and the others arrived?"
"You gave the decree, so of course they came," Ryan said helplessly.
"I''ll go see the new houseter," I said quickly.
After asking Ryan about the situation in recent days, he told me everything was going smoothly. All the preparations in Sris had beenpleted, and they were ready to start construction at any time.
However, he also reported that Mia had taken Lance and her fiancé to visit New Bourdamun.
"Oh? They went to visit?" I asked casually. I didn''t pay much attention to it. After all, the construction of New Bourdamun had be a national model.
It was understandable that they would visit it before returning to Foswood for development.
I wanted to talk to Ryan about taking over all the business of architectural development under ATL Empire after the New Year, hoping he coulde up with a long-term n.
After all, I admired the nning team he led. The development n for Old Bourdamun they had made was exactly what I wanted.
"No problem! I cane up with a preliminary n and we can discuss itter," Ryan said earnestly.
"But this can wait until after the New Year. Your current focus should be on the wedding. That''s your top priority!" I looked at Ryan and reminded him about his wedding seriously.
"Why would I be busy? It''s just a little thing. My parents are handling everything. Everyone is running around like headless chickens." He looked at me and said, "It''s a waste of resources."
"What are you saying? Are your parents getting married?" I retorted.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"I just got back, otherwise I''d give you a vacation." I gave Ryan a preemptive warning. "We''re going to Nocturnia for Christmas. We need to take care of something there."
"I''m going to ignore you now," Ryan snorted.
His words made meugh, and I felt speechless.

"After wee back, we''ll go straight to the wedding. You''re a general manager under ATL Empire too. Dont mess up!" I continued pressure him. "This is not a joke. As thinks that way too. After all, I''ll be going on maternity leave in a few months."
"That evil capitalist!" Ryan couldn''t help but curse.
I chuckled and tapped the table, "It''s no use for you to curse me. As wants you to carry this big responsibility. After the child grows up a little, I might shift the focus away from architectural
development. You can''t ve
off on
such an importantpany under ATL Empire."
"I''m just getting married. Don''t put pressure on me," Ryan said indifferently. "This is my life. Don''t try to involve ATL Empire. Did I sell my life to As?"
Iughed, "This isn''t about pressure. This is also about ATL Empire''s image. Don''t let me down, got it?"
Ryan looked at me and smiled. "Why are you making such a big deal out of it? It''s amon thing. Why are we making this soplicated? It would be better for Joyce and me to have a simple wedding. In fact, we both love that idea!"

"Alright, I''ll go see Joyceter. I can''tmunicate with you. Think about what I said. It''ll beunched officially after the wedding. I still have things to do."
"What else do you have to do? Is it serious?" He protested as he sat up straight. "Your butt hasn''t even warmed up the chair! You''re leaving already?" Ipletely ignored his protest and quickly ended our conversation.
