    Hearing thisb, /bChris sneered inwardly.

    Linda absolutely did not want to see Michael. If Jessica were not currently investigating Michael, she would have wished that the Wilder Group and the Hall family had no connection at all.

    From start to finish, Linda’s opinion of Michael was clear. She felt he was a petty person.

    Back then, Jessica might not have beenpletely unaware of Michael’s maniptions. They were both prominent figures at school. It was only natural that Michael was brought before Jessica, and Jessica chose to be with Michael out of rebellion.

    That did not mean Jessica would always be rebellious.

    Her father’s deathy bare before her. Jessica was a rational woman destined to embark on the path of seeking the truth.

    It was also destined that Michael and she would go separate ways despite once sharing a path.

    On thest day before the holidays, everyone’s bonus arrived. Few people in the wholepany were actually working, their minds were all on the uing holiday.

    Jessica came out once midway and saw this scene but said nothing, only asking the cafeteria to provide

    extra meals that day.

    The Wilder Group had already canceled the annual meeting.

    Such efforts by employees only to please the employer and higher–ups were truly unnecessary. It not only wasted manpower, material, and financial resources, the employees were not genuinely happy either.

    Such an inhumane practice was better off canceled.

    She was more practical, if employees saw real benefits, they would be more willing to work hard for the

    Besides money, it was about treatment.

    The hospital always needed someone on duty. Francesca had already helped Chris arrange all the doctors

    duty schedules. Chris reviewed it and confirmed there were no problems, but he was curious why his

    own name was not on the list.

    Francesca noticed a problem Even now, Chris still regarded himself as an ordinary doctor and did not realize there was any difference in his chairman position.

    Standing in front of the desk, Francesca exined, “ording to the council’s internal benefits, the chairman has a holiday. During the New Year holiday, you don’t need to be on duty unless an emergency

    bsurgery /brequires you toe back as chief surgeon.”

    Chris was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this role actually came with holidays.

    Francesca continued, “One more thing. thepany will be listed next year. To wee themercialization reform, many people will visit during the New Year. As chairman and investor, you and Ms. Wilder need to receive guests at home.”

    “I still have to deal with those people?” Chris said with a sour face.

    Francesca nodded. “Don’t worry. Ms. Wilder has arranged for me and Shannon ito /ireceive them. You just sit there and act as a mascot. You don’t need to say anything.”

    That would do.

    After all, he had no other choice – he was just a hostage.

    The hospital was no ce for massive decorations.

    At home, however, Chris bought a lot of things.

    After five years of being married to Jessica, he had never looked forward to the New Year like this.

    This was their first New Year after their hearts had truly connected, giving it a different meaning.

    Even if they had to go to the Wilder family’s residence on New Year’s Eve, they still wanted to decorate

    their house.

    The difference between an employer and an employee was actually quite obvious, especially during

    holidays.

    Employees left thepany, and contacting them was only possible via WhatsApp.

    But the employer had to make money all the time to pay their sries.
