The next day, Zoe went to Annie International directly.
After a series of contracts were signed, Star Entertainment was now officially a partner of Annie International.
As the order was given by Henry directly, though the managers in the company were all surprised, they dared not say much about it.
After signing the contracts, Brian took Zoe to the Public Relations Department and announced her role as the manager of the department.
In the past two years, Zoe had already made herself quite famous in Century Entertainment.
Though she had tried to keep a low profile, most of the people in this business had known her and recognized her capability.
Now that their boss had invited her over, they all felt pleased.
Of course, there were still some people who had been in the company for many years and felt so happy when there was finally a vacancy in such a position thinking they might have a chance. But now someone from nowhere came and took the position, as if from them.
They felt upset, but now that everyone was welcoming this new manager, they did not dare to say anything against it.
Before she left the company, Zoe first went to meet the people in the department and told them she would start from tomorrow.
After that, she came back to Star Entertainment.
When she first took over the company, she had contacted Elsa.
And today happened to be the day Elsa quitted Century Entertainment and officially joined Star Entertainment.
For the arrival of such a capable assistant, Natalia certainly felt happy.
With Elsa and Mr. Norris here, she thought she might not be too worried about this company for the time being.
After she took Elsa to get familiar with the company, Zoe received a call, and the other end of the call said they wanted to take a look at her store.
Only then did she remember that she had already put her store in the market for sale and she hadn’t had the time to take care of it yet.
Were it not for the call, she might have long
forgotten about this matter.
After work, she didn’t go back to the Han Mansion directly, but went to the store.
The buyers were already there and it turned out they were Mila’s relatives.
Mila had kept the store for her for such a long time, and thus she knew about the profit pretty well. Since there was such a chance, she sure could not wait to inform her family.
When Zoe knew what happened, she just smiled and didn’t say much. In the end, she even gave them some discount.
The transfer went on smoothly.
After everything was done, it was already eight in the evening.
Zoe had called Mrs. Dottie and told her not to prepare dinner for her.
And Henry needed to work overtime tonight, so maybe he wasn’t back home yet either.
When she walked out of the store, it was already raining out there.
As it was late autumn, she could already feel the chilliness coming from the north and the rain made her feel even colder.
Clenching onto her sweater, she took strides to the garage while sending Archie a message.
As expected, the man was still in the company, and she then drove to the Mountain Club.
When she prepared the dinner last night, she also learned about what this man had liked.
She knew this man was picky enough to only eat food made by Mrs. Dottie and the chef in the Mountain Club. So even though it had been late, she still went to the Mountain Club herself.
Fortunately, it was not much of a bother as there were not many cars on the road at night and the restaurant was not far away from where she was.
After ordering a few takeaways from the restaurant, she drove directly to the Han Group.
In his office, he was still engaged in a meeting.
As the chairman of the Han Group, for sure he would be busy since he would have to take care of everything in the company.
Moreover, the overseas branches had recently made some progress in the digital technology they were developing. Henry had paid most of his attention to their work and felt it necessary to know about everything about it before he could even feel at ease. As a result, he had a lot of meetings with the overseas branches recently.
When Zoe got there, she could see the office of the other side from the giant screen in the office.
She was stunned for a moment. When she realized what happened, she just walked in quietly without making a sound.
Henry saw her coming in and ended the meeting almost immediately. He stood up.
“Is it raining?”
Seeing her clothes were kind of wet, he asked knitting his brows.
Zoe smiled and wiped off the water on her hair casually. She placed the takeout on the desk and said, “Just a little, the winter might be coming after the rain.”
Hearing what she said, Henry did not say anything more, and simply turned the air conditioner up a bit.
Zoe then continued, “I know you haven’t eaten yet, so I went to Mountain Club and ordered some takeovers for you? How is that? So you know how much I care about you, right?”
Henry smiled.
“I feel so honored and happy to be cared so much about by Mrs. McCarthy.”
The cheesy remarks coming from the man’s smiling lips sent chills down her spine.
She had to put a stop to the topic she just brought up herself.
After they finally finished the diner in the office, Archie poured a glass of warm water for her and packed up the leftovers on the desk. Only then did he say, “I still need a while. Why don’t you take a rest here and we can go home together?”
For some unknown reason, she also felt especially tired today, and therefore she didn’t plan to drive back herself at the beginning. So she nodded.
Henry ruffled her hair with a smile before he finally returned to the desk and resumed his unfinished work.
Zoe sat on the sofa, holding a glass in one hand and used her phone with the other.
After reading some news and checking her social media accounts, her eyes grew heavy, and she was soon nodding off.
Perhaps she was just so tired today, she thought, and it seemed that it might take a while before Henry could finished his work. She put down the glass, took the pillow next to her over and lied down.
When Henry finally fished his work, an hour had gone by.
With Zoe here, he did not want to work too late, so he shut his computer down and stood up. Only then did he notice that Zoe had been long asleep.
Henry knitted his brows slightly and walked towards her. He bent down and patted her gently on her shoulder.
“Zoe, we should go home.”
The woman on the sofa just frowned and remained motionless.
He then reached over to feel her forehead.
It was a bit hot. He frowned slightly and the next second his hand was slapped.
Unhappy with the disruption, the sleeping woman lifted her arm to slap him on the back of his hand while mumbling in her dream.
Henry burst into chuckles.
He turned to look outside the window. It was still raining. Though the heater was on, she might easily catch a cold to sleep here like this.
He then turned to get his coat, draped it over Natalia, and finally held her up in his arms.
“Mr. Han, are we going home?”
“Em.”
Henry held Zoe down in his arms. Even after they got in the car, she did not wake up.
And he didn’t want to wake her up either. He just let her sleep in his embrace but simply asked Brian to turn the air conditioner up a bit when they were halfway home.
There was only silence in the car.
Zoe only woke up slowly when they were almost home.
“Em? Why am I in a car?”
She rubbed her eyes and gazed outside the window in a daze.
From above her head, there was a light chortle of a man, “Are you awake?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
