The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 171: Chapter 169: Settling Wages

———Moonlake Villas.

"Young Madam! You're finally back! I've been calling you, but you didn’t answer. | was worried sick!"

Just as she walked in the door, Elliana Lyle was gripped by the arm by Lana, whose tone was both helpless and

somewhat reproachful, making her feel guilty in her heart.

It was only then she remembered that in order not to be discovered, she had set her phone to do not disturb

mode, so she hadn't noticed Lana's calls when she reached the gas station.

The sky was almost bright now, and Lana must not have slept all night.

"Lana, I'm back now, I'm fine, don’t worry - hug~"

Facing Elliana’s act of coaxing, Lana was helpless. She had thought about calling Norman Bennett but always

remembered Elliana’s words to not tell anyone.

"Young Madam, | spoke harshly, but I'm glad you're back."

Outside the house.

Yates Zander was about to drive away when he happened to see Norman Bennett's car returning. After all, it was

the boss; he had to get out to greet him.

"President."

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Yates Zander here, Norman Bennett was a bit surprised.

Yates Zander looked back at the villa gate, a knowing smile forming, and then said to Norman Bennett, "I just

escorted Elliana back and was about to leave."

This statement carried a lot of weight, and Norman heard from it that his little girl hadn't returned all night and

was just brought back by Yates Zander.

Even though Norman's cold expression didn’t reveal anything, he was indeed angry.

"President, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Yates Zander maintained his gentle smile, his demeanor

calm.

"Hmm."

With that, Norman Bennett passed by Yates Zander, heading straight into the villa.

"Lana, you don’t know..." Elliana’s words were cut off when she saw Lana’s expression change tically, who

then bowed her head and said to her, "Young Master, you've returned."

This wasn’t meant for her!

She spun around suddenly, bumping directly into the man’s embrace, the cool fragrance of lotus from outside

lingering around him.

"Don’t know what?"

A cold voice cfrom above. She quickly looked up to see the man gazing down at her, his eyes showing a hint

of warmth, not as cold as his words.

"Norman Bennett, | have something big to tell you. You should brace yourself." It wasn’t that she was being

mysterious, but she felt that if Norman found out, he would surely be incredulous.

Because even she found it unbelievable, although she mostly relied on luck.

Norman's heart sank; first Yates Zander bringing the little girl back, and now the little girl telling him to brace

himself?

After all, with Shane Southwell’s example, he was indeed... worried.

"Girl, stay by my side obediently, okay?"

"Huh?"

Elliana thought this didn’t quite fit. Wasn't Norman supposed to ask what was going on? Why did he suddenly

becso affectionate?

But of course, she was happy to stay by the man’s side, so she nodded earnestly and replied sweetly, "Okay."

"Good." The man gently patted her head, then picked her up.

Lana and the others wisely stepped aside, busying themselves.

Upstairs, Elliana excitedly opened her phone album and showed it to the man.

Norman took the phone, and upon seeing it, his brow furrowed slightly. The plan and outer packaging in the

picture were exactly the sas Melody Harmony’s new product.

Aside from him, the plan involved Design Director Susan, Vice President Yang, and Group 1 from the Design

Department.

The number of people was not many but not few either.

Feeling the intense gaze, he glanced at the little girl eagerly awaiting praise and instantly understood

everything. No wonder she told him to brace himself.

"Who sent you?"

The cold tone was not exactly praise, making Elliana pout unhappily. Just what she expected, she thought. She

should've kept her mouth shut.

"Who did you go with?"

The second question wasn’t as stern, prompting her to mumble, "I went by myself, actually, | wanted to share

the process with you. But since you're scolding me, | won't tell you anymore."

Norman Bennett: "..."

"Girl."

Norman Bennett gently turned her chin to make her look at him.

Though slightly nervous at first, seeing the gentler expression on the man’s face, she dared to gaze directly into

his eyes.

"I'm not scolding you. Do you know that this was very dangerous?"

"I know." She grumbled with a hint of grievance, "But this is what you wanted, so | went and took the risk. If it

were someone else, | wouldn't have cared."

With that, she tugged at her clothes lightly, which were still damp against her back.

The man seemed somewhat helpless against her grumbling, unable even to muster anger for a while.

"My little girl did well, but for such things, | don’t want you to do them. I'll worry, you understand?"

Facing his cautioning tone, she nodded compliantly, as she had no desire to take on such tasks alone a second

time.

After explaining the process to the man, she added, "I had Luna arranged for an important task, and Andrew got

beaten into the hospital, so | had to step in myself."

"Hmm, are you tired? Take a bath and get sgood sleep."

Luna told him she delegated the task to someone else, but he didn’t expect that someone else to be his little

girl.

But fortunately, his little girl was unharmed.

———Radiant Light Group White Goose Studios.

After parking the car, Yates Zander walked unhurriedly towards the White Goose Studios building.

Still sdistance from the building entrance, he saw his agent, Anla, wearing a pink outfit with Barbie pink

heels and rainbow-dyed short hair.

Facing Anla’s get-up, he was long accustomed.

"Hey Yates, why are you only here now?"

A shrill male voice sounded, full of reproach.

Yates Zander responded calmly, "The road was a bit congested, so | got delayed."

Confronted with Yates’s explanation, Anla naturally dared not ask further, forcing a smile, "Yates, let's hurry

then."

With the agreed thaving passed by several hours, the entire advertising department had been waiting, so it

was no wonder Anla was anxious.

"Sure."

Just as they entered the company doors, a female voice called out, "Hey? Yates!"

Suddenly stopped, Anla, though disgruntled, stayed put and waited.

After all, it was Yang Tuo, a cashier from the finance department, who never chatted unless necessary.

Yang Tuo approached Yates with a smile, "Yates, Assistant Wu askedto give you a day's driver salary."

"What?" Yates found it odd, driver's salary?

Yang Tuo continued, "Assistant Wu arranged it and said it needs to be settled quickly. Do you have tnow?"

"Oh dear! Sister Yang, can it wait a bit? We're in a rush and already late." Anla clasped hands, pleading to Yang

Tuo.

Yang Tuo, understanding, nodded slightly, "No problem, you guys go ahead. | won't disturb your work."
