CHAPTER 707 WORKING AS AN ASSISTANT

"Yes, Mrs. Lancaster." The teacher readily agreed and packed the things she brought with her before walking out.

The door of the study closed.

Henry held Theo on his lap, while Yvonne sat down in front of the father and son with her hands on her stomach.

Theo blinked and said softly, "Mom, what do you want to tell me?"

Yvonne touched the little guy's hair. "Theo, do you want a brother or sister?"

"Huh?" Theo was stunned.

But he was very smart and he quickly understood as h e looked at Yvonne's stomach. "Is there a baby in Mommy's stomach?"

Henry squeezed the little guy's hand. "That's right."

"So do you want a baby, Theo?" Yvonne asked as she looked at the little guy.

The little guy nodded. "Yes, I’ll have a younger brother or sister to play with me in the future since no other children will play with me."

When Yvonne heard this, her heart felt bitter and she hugged Theo in her arms. "Well, you'll have a brother o r sister to accompany you in the future, Theo. You won't be alone anymore."

Henry also learned about Theo's situation when he was still abroad.

Because of Theo's autism, none of the foreign children liked Theo. They all stayed away from him, so Theo had always been lonely.

That was why Theo was so happy now that he would have a younger brother or sister!

Henry stood up and held the mother and son in his arms.

The family of three stayed in the study for a long time and they finally left the study when Yvonne started feeling a little sleepy.

In the afternoon, Henry told Mr. and Mrs. Smith who were abroad about Yvonne's pregnancy.

When they heard about the news, they were extremely happy because they would have a grandson or granddaughter. They were certainly excited.

However, when they found out that Yvonne's pregnancy was unstable and would easily miscarry, their happiness turned into worry.

In the end, Mr. Smith decided to send a manager over t o help Yvonne manage her company so that she would have time to rest well during her pregnancy.

Henry was very supportive of this decision. Even if M r. Smith didn't make such arrangements, Henry

would've done it too. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The company was important indeed, but Yvonne was the most important.

At the end of the call, Henry put down the phone and returned to bed.

Yvonne was drowsy in bed. When she heard him coming back, she opened her eyes slightly. "Have you finished talking on the phone?"

Henry sat down by the bed. "Yes."

"What did Mom and Dad say?" Yvonne turned over and lay on her side.

Henry also laid down and took her into his arms. "Dad said that he would arrange for a manager to come over and help you manage the company so you can have a healthy pregnancy."

Yvonne was not surprised when she heard this, so she nodded. "That’dbe good."

She would have an unstable pregnancy, so even if her father did not send a manager over, she would have asked Lisa to help her manage the company anyway.

Lisa was very capable herself.

"Go to sleep." Henry patted Yvonne on the back.

Yvonne smiled. "It seems like you're coaxing a child."

"You’re a child now." Henry's thin lips curved slightly.

Yvonne rubbed her forehead against his chest and closed her eyes.

Soon, she fell asleep.

Henry pulled the blanket up and after tucking her in snugly, he got up and left the room.

When he was passing by the garden, he was stopped b y Sue who was watering the flowers. "Where are you going, sir?"

"I'm going to the company. There’s a meeting in the afternoon." Henry stopped and looked at Sue. "I’ll leave Yvonne and Theo to you. Call me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, sir." Sue nodded.

Henry hummed and continued walking again. Soon, h e left the family residence.

Half an hour later, he drove to the Lancaster Group.

As soon as he opened the door of the chairman's office and walked in, Elliot rushed in anxiously.

Henry frowned when he saw him making such a commotion. "What’s up?"

"I heard from Frederick that you took Yvonne to the hospital?" Elliot asked while standing across from Henry's desk.

Henry pursed his thin lips. "She’s your sister-in-law. You should call her sister-in-law, not by her name."

"That’s none of your business." Elliot curled his lips."

You haven't answered me yet. Why did you take

Yvonne to the hospital? Is she sick again?"

"No," Henry turned on the computer. "She's pregnant."

"What? Pregnant?" Elliot thought he had misheard. He was stunned and raised his volume.

Henry leaned back in the chair and looked at him with a slightly proud expression. "Yes, she’s pregnant. Is there any problem?"

Elliot shook his head blankly. "No..."

He thought that Yvonne had some serious illness, so h e had been worried.

Unexpectedly, she was actually pregnant.

As Elliot thought of this, he looked at Henry a little bitterly.

This man was going to be a father again!

"Well, you came to see me just to ask about this?" Henry rubbed the area between his eyebrows.

Elliot said, "I'm concerned about her, so of course I have to ask."

"Since you’ve finished asking your question now, you can leave if there's nothing else. On your way out, ask Joe to come in." Henry waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Elliot rolled his eyes, turned around, and walked towards the door.

After he walked out of the chairman's office, Elliot knocked on the door of the executive assistant’s office next door.

The door opened, and it was a woman who opened it.

The woman was very beautiful. Her eyes were dreamy and her confused, pure expression made Elliot fall into a daze.

In a daze, he felt as if he had just seen Yvonne from a few years ago.

At that time, Yvonne was not as strong as she was now.

She was just like the woman in front of him-she had a bit of innocence in her pureness.

Therefore, Elliot couldn't help but soften his tone as he asked, "Where's Joe?"

"Mr. Woods is inside. Sir, you are?" Mandy's eyes flickered slightly and asked hesitantly as she pretended not to know Elliot.

She had already found out that the man in front of her liked girls who were pure and innocent. As long as she could act well enough, she would certainly be able to approach Elliot.

If she could get close to him, she could then get close t o Henry.

As Mandy thought of this, her expression became even more naive.

Elliot's lips curled up. "My name is Hayden Lancaster."

"Hayden Lancaster?" Mandy pretended to think as if his name sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a while, her expression changed and her mouth opened in shock. "You... are you the president of the company?"

She pointed at Elliot in surprise.

Elliot looked at her in a relaxed manner.

It seemed like her reaction made him pleased and it made him smile even more. He nodded slightly." That's right."

"I'm sorry, President. I didn't mean to stop you, please come in!" Mandy pretended to be frightened and stepped aside, making a gesture to invite Elliot in.

Elliot lifted his foot and entered the room. When he went in and walked past her, he glanced at the employee card hanging on her neck. The name on it was Mandy Lovett.

Mandy Lovett.

It was a good name!

Elliot put his hands in the pocket of his trousers as he walked towards the desk.

Joe's desk was surrounded by several people and Joe was tightly surrounded as well, so he did not see Elliot.

Joe finally got up when Elliot coughed slightly and made the first move to speak.

"President, why are you here?" Joe looked at Elliot in

surprise.

When others heard Joe calling Elliot "President," they hurriedly greeted him as well.

Elliot sat down in Joe's seat. "Henry is looking for you and he asked me to call you over. These people are..."

He pointed at the people in front of him.

Those people, including Mandy whom Elliot met earlier, all had red employee cards hanging around their necks.

Red cards meant that they were interns.

Since they were interns, why didn't they report to the personnel department? Why were they with the chairman's executive assistant?
