Chapter 530 - 526: Are you tired of facing me every day?
Richelle Dunn was somewhat acquainted with the affairs of the Lewis Group, as Roy Lewis often spoke about them. So, she understood some things. Moreover, the Lewis and Dunn groups had quite a few similarities in their management strategies.
However, the Lewis’ Village, an age-old village steeped in centuries of tradition, from human relationships to customs, was in a league of its own.
So, when Richelle was asked about it, she was indeed clueless.
All she could do was try to appease people’s hearts and think about discussing how to handle these matters with Roy Lewis when she got back.
However, when she brought it up with Roy Lewis that night, he just hummed in acknowledgement and there was no further discussion.
Richelle found this rather strange and asked again.
“Do you have other plans for the Lewis’ Village?”
From what she knew about Roy Lewis, he wouldn’t neglect issues related to his territory.
If he truly disregarded them, then there must be another motive.
Sure enough, Roy Lewis nodded.
“Correct. Last quarter, there were some issues with the number of industries in the village. Recently, there have been some rumors circulating about the village which aren’t quite favorable. So, I want to take this opportunity to give them a chance to fully perform. Then, I will deal with them all at once.”
After hearing this, Richelle was glad she didn’t meddle in anything.
“Alright, next time they talk to me about anything, I’ll just play dumb.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Most of them are currently trying to test you. You don’t need to be too polite to them. If not, they will take it for granted.”
Richelle learned a lot, “Roy, I just realized that I’ve learned much more from being with you than what I got from my university teacher.”
Roy Lewis affectionately ruffled her hair, “Any teacher would be fortunate to have a student like you. I just have the advantage of being a few years older than you.”
Richelle tsks and brings the Chinese medicine that Uncle Axel just brought in to his mouth.
“Are you trying to flaunt your seniority? Come on, drink the medicine quickly and sleep well tonight.”
After resting at home for a while, Roy Lewis’ spirit and complexion were much improved. Apart from the cast on his leg requiring him to use a wheelchair for daily movements, everything else was much the same as before.
After drinking the medicine, Roy Lewis went to rinse his mouth. Richelle then carefully helped him to lie down on the bed.
Once he was settled, Richelle laid down next to him.
Roy Lewis naturally stretched out his arm and wrapped her into his embrace.
Richelle leaned into his chest and yawned.
“How long do you plan to keep up with this pretense?”
Roy lowered his head to kiss her, “What, are you tired of seeing me every day?” Richelle ignored his tease and continued speaking.
“Jayden Dunn and Mason Lilliput probably won’t make any moves in the near future. Are you sure you want to keep waiting for their next move in this condition?”
Roy Lewis naturally had his own plan. However, sometimes plans couldn’t keep up with changes, so he couldn’t say for sure what his next move would be.
“This matter runs deep and opportunities are rare, I want to wait a bit longer.” Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, Richelle understood that whatever they were preparing for was either highly confidential or extremely risky. “Alright, then be careful. If there’s anything you need from me, remember to let me know.”
Neither of them acknowledged the fact that they were the benefactors of the ‘millionaire’ and ‘Margareth’. The recent small transactions were still conducted in absolute secrecy.
However, Roy Lewis knew exactly what she meant when Richelle said ‘need’.
“I will. You’ve got a lot on your plate as well, so while I can manage the affairs of the Lewis Group during this time, you should take the opportunity to handle the more pressing matters.”
At this, Richelle remembered something.
“Right, my tutor needs me to go back to help with some stuff. I’ll probably need three to four days.”
During Roy Lewis’ convalescence, the two of them were together for almost twenty hours a day.
So, thinking of not being able to see, touch or hold each other for the next few days, Roy Lewis felt somewhat disappointed.
“Can’t it be resolved over the internet?”
Richelle shook her head, “An experiment is stuck, my tutor hopes that I can help look into it and assist. Also, the first phase of clinical results for the drug you hold will be out next week. My tutor hopes I’ll be there to analyze the data values with him.”
Although Roy Lewis was reluctant to let her go, he knew better than anyone to prioritize things.
“Alright, let Master Seaton know when you are ready. I’ll ask Nathan to book your flight and arrange staff.”
Richelle shook her head, “No need. I have other tasks this time, so the organization will arrange for my pickup and is responsible for my safety.” Roy Lewis sighed.
Richelle was puzzled, “Everything’s fine, why are you sighing?”
Roy Lewis replied.
“It’s quite a downer not being able to protect my own woman!”
Richelle giggled.
“In that case, you can save a lot of money to buy candy for your woman. Isn’t that great?”
Roy Lewis seemed to take comfort from this.
“Alright then, I’ll give the money I saved on airfare and other expenses to you for buying candies.”
After saying that, he reached out to the bedside table, picked up his cellphone, and transferred a million dollars to Richelle.
Richelle had more or less gotten used to him stuffing money into her hands for various reasons. She didn’t refuse. Instead, she propped herself up, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips.
“Darling, thank you!”
Roy Lewis held her a little tighter, “If you really want to thank me, show me some sincerity!”
Then, Richelle had no choice but to show her ‘sincerity’ for most of the night…
