Chapter 1294
Sylvia only opened her eyes when Odell came out from the bathroom, clean and freshly dressed. He left the room
before she could say goodbye.
She picked up her phone and found out that it was already 10 o’clock in the morning. It was no wonder Odell left in
such a hurry.
She wondered when the busy days would come to an end because it had been a while since they had woken up
together. Recently, even seeing each other started to become a luxury that they could not afford.
‘Sigh. I still have to go to the academy later…‘
Sylvia sighed and got out of bed.
…
When Odell came down to the living room, only Aunt Tonya and Madam Carter were around to take care of Flint.

Flint got up and ran over as soon as he saw his father come down, so Odell carried him up for a while and then put
him in Aunt Tonya’s care.
He then said to Madam Carter, “Grandmother, I have to go to work now.”
Madam Carter nodded. “Be safe.”
Aunt Tonya reminded him, “Odell, you haven‘t eaten your breakfast.”
“I‘m running late. I‘ll simply grab something along the way.” Odell then strode out of the house like an arrow let
loose.
Watching his father‘s car leave the house, in Aunt Tonya‘s arms, Flint asked, “Granny Tonya, is Daddy going out for a
few days again?“.
“Yeah. Daddy is busy, but he‘ll come back when he‘s done with work,” Aunt Tonya answered.
The little boy pouted. “Daddy hasn‘t played with us for a long time.”
Aunt Tonya was silenced by the boy‘s little complaint.
“Flint, come here. Great–granny will play with you. Come over here.” Madam Carter waved at the boy from her
wheelchair.
Flint came down from Aunt Tonya‘s arms and went over to her.
Despite sitting in Madam Carter‘s lap, Flint‘s googly eyes were glued to the door. He really wanted his parents to
stay home together for a little longer.
The black MPV shuttled across the busy traffic and finally arrived in front of Carter Tower.
When Odell got down and strode into the building , the two receptionists bolted up and bowed at him. Even the
other employees who passed by the lobby paused and greeted him.
He nodded at everyone as he went into the elevator that sent him straight to the highest floor. As soon as he
stepped out of the elevator, he strode towards his office.
In front of the office door was the secretary‘s desk where Shermaine had been waiting for him the whole morning.

Odell nodded but caught a glimpse of something that intrigued him.
The young lady wore a plain white dress with her hair neatly combed and tucked behind both her ears,
complementing her delicate face with fair skin. She only wore light makeup, but it suited her pronounced facial
features. Not only did her overall impression stand out, but it also reminded him of his woman back home.
Stunned, he paused his steps for a second. “Are you Shermaine?”
Shermaine‘s eyes gleamed. She maintained her respectful smile and said, “Yes, sir.”
Odell then went into his office without saying anything else.
She had been working at the front desk for two years, and he had never even spared her a glance. Now that she
was his secretary, he stared at her for a full five seconds on her first day.
Her eyes flickered in excitement.
A while later, when the time was right, she left her station and brought a cup of tea into the office.
The man’s lonely figure sat on the leather chair behind the massive desk, working diligently in the huge and
luxurious CEO’s office. Focused and determined, he flipped through the pile of documents.
