CHAPTER 894: CHAPTER 894: ADRIAN LANCASTER IS RESOLUTE

Do you remember the first time we talked about cooperation with Lucas? That guy changed the time at the last minute and moved it earlier.

At that time, Adrian Lancaster was on a business trip, and Dustin Shepherd was not around, so Ivy Jennings had to handle it on her own.

As a result, it was said she was forced to drink and nearly taken advantage of. When she escaped, she was injured, but of course, she secured the project.

Adrian Lancaster always felt apologetic about that incident. He shouldn’t have let a woman handle it alone, and he hadn’t understood that man’s character beforehand.

And this time...

As he gradually loosened his grip, Adrian Lancaster’s gaze toward Ivy Jennings became noticeably less hateful. He calmed down, but there was still indifference and detachment.

"Settle her wages for this period and let her go," he told Dustin Shepherd, then turned and walked toward the desk.

Ivy Jennings’s heart instantly sank into an icy abyss.

The next second, she collected her emotions, took the financial report, and walked out. Alone in the elevator, she noticed her wrist was reddened, and the bracelet was broken due to his grip.

The skin where the bracelet had been was scraped, with blood seeping out.

Ivy really felt wronged. This time, she wasn’t taking advantage of the situation. She hadn’t thought of anything other than helping him share the burden a bit more.

But he...

After delivering the report, Ivy left the company directly, didn’t go back upstairs, and didn’t send a message to Dustin Shepherd.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the CEO’s office.

Dustin Shepherd also got a scolding from Adrian Lancaster, "The way you handled Ivy Jennings’s matter was very inappropriate."

"I didn’t think too much at the time..." Dustin lowered his head, understanding his anger.

"Give her double the salary," Adrian Lancaster stated clearly, "I don’t want to see her here again, understand?"

Seeing Ivy Jennings again added to his guilt towards Faye. In short, he wouldn’t hide anything from his wife or meet anyone who made his wife uneasy.

Dustin Shepherd nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Then, Adrian Lancaster acknowledged Dustin’s work over the past period, gave him a bonus, and even a raise.

"Actually..." Dustin hesitated to speak, "Actually, the reason my work has been so good this time was largely thanks to Ivy Jennings. She’s been here for a month."

Adrian Lancaster looked up at him, their eyes met, Dustin lowered his gaze and fell silent.

A month?

For the next two days, no one in the company saw Ivy Jennings, and Adrian Lancaster felt uneasy.

He didn’t want to owe her anything, yet she hadn’t even settled her pay for this month.

"Hey, now that President Lancaster is back, where has Secretary Jennings gone? It’s been a while since we’ve seen her, right?"

"Secretary Jennings used to admire President Lancaster a lot, I wonder if there’s still a chance now?"

"What are you talking about?" someone affirmed, "Do you really think President Lancaster is that kind of person? I’m telling you, even if there’s no news from Faye Turner for a lifetime, our President Lancaster won’t marry someone else."

"That’s because you don’t understand men," someone began to argue back, "Men’s physiological structure is different from women’s; women only need emotions, but adult men have physiological needs."

"Are you saying he might sleep with someone but not marry them?"

"I don’t know about marrying, but it’s only a matter of time before something happens with some woman. If Mrs. Lancaster doesn’t come back for a long time, a lifetime is very long. Don’t underestimate human nature."

"No, no, no, I still choose to believe in President Lancaster’s character."

In the hearts of many female employees, Adrian Lancaster is sacred, an untouchable male god. Even if all men in the world were bad, he would be the only good one.
