Since the HT Group's sales promotion was such a huge success, orders for their products skyrocketed. Because of this, all their employees had to work twice as much as they used to. Even the CEO, Jacob, had to stay in the office late just to keep up with work. With one hand on his forehead, he checked the list sent to him by the purchasing department even though he was suffering from a headache.
"Mr. Gu, since you are here every day until midnight, why don't you just temporarily stay in your office bedroom for now? That way, work will be a lot more convenient for you and you'll be able to get a lot of things done quickly. And besides, it would be a waste if you only use that gorgeous room for short naps," Sam casually uttered to Jacob while he was holding a freshly brewed cup of Longjing tea. As Jacob's right-hand man, Sam couldn't let him continue in his pale, fatigued state without offering a solution.
Focused on the work in front of him, Jacob didn't bother to answer and just responded with a single shake of his head.
Seeing this, Sam couldn't help but sigh and add, "Really, Mr. Gu? I'm sure your wife wouldn't want you to tire yourself out. She'll understand if you stay here for a while."
That being said, Sam knew his suggestion was a long shot since Jacob was a man who cared for his wife. A few years ago when the CEO's office was redecorated, an elegant bedroom had been built behind a wall. It was just like a home, complete with all the facilities that a person needed to live. Unfortunately, Jacob never used it apart from taking a nap sometimes in the afternoons.
With a reluctant smile, Jacob thought to himself about how little his assistant knew about him. No matter how tired Jacob was at work, seeing his family at home would always give him a burst of energy. In fact, it was the only way he could get rid of his stress. With this in mind, he couldn't help but think of the smiles of his beautiful wife and children waiting for him at home.
It was a husband's duty to sleep next to his wife every night. And this was a mindset that Jacob insisted on fulfilling no matter how hard his days were.
"I have to go back home," he uttered with a somewhat cheerful attitude, and then took a sip of his tea. Right after that, he stood up and added, "If you're wondering why, being at home with my family is where I'm happiest."
Upon hearing those words, Sam just kept his mouth closed since he knew there was nothing else he could say to persuade his boss.
"Anyway, tell the driver to wait for me downstairs. I'm leaving in a few minutes," Jacob casually ordered while sorting out his things.
After a while, Jacob was already on his way home, sitting in the backseat of his luxurious car. He stared outside the window to enjoy the scenery, but nothing could compare to the joy he felt when he saw how close he was to the Tyrone Mansion. For so long, Emily and his three children had made him feel like he was the happiest and luckiest man in the world. Unfortunately, family members were mere mortals who could easily get hurt by being close to one of the most powerful businessmen.
That was why Jacob was working
hould rest and take care of yourself. Don't stay up late tonight, okay?"
Emily's compassionate words were exactly what Jacob wanted to hear on a stressful workday. With a heart full of love, he couldn't help but bury his face in his wife's neck and smell her hair like a child.
Despite how childish Jacob was, Emily just let him be and quietly enjoyed the moment.
After a while, Jacob raised his head and stared straight at Emily.
In his mind, he knew he would never get tired of looking at her beautiful face.
At that moment, it was like time stopped for the two of them. Even though they were in the washroom, the atmosphere was filled with nothing but pure love, so much so that Jacob couldn't help but lean forward and kiss his wonderful wife.
"Coo..."
A strange voice came from outside the door.
If it wasn't for the silence between the couple, they wouldn't even have heard this unusual sound.
Emily looked at Jacob to find some sort of answer. Unfortunately, Jacob had no clue what that sound was, so he just shrugged his shoulders at her. To her surprise, Emily saw a little kid standing in front of the door when she peered through it.
It was Bowen. He had both his hands placed on the door frame with a curious look on his face.
When Emily realized that an innocent child had been watching them, she felt embarrassed. She quickly got out of Jacob's embrace, tidied up her apron, and intentionally coughed before awkwardly asking, "Bowen, what's wrong? Why are you standing there?"
With a simple pout, Bowen replied, "Mommy, when can we have dinner? I'm hungry."
At that moment, Bowen just looked like a cute, innocent child. However, Jacob couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was growing distant with his child.
"Well then, have you washed your hands? You know you can't eat until you wash your hands, right?"
Jacob asked in a slightly disappointed tone. After that, he pulled Bowen over to the sink while keeping a stern look on his face. Since Bowen was busy cleaning up, Emily took the chance to head over to the kitchen to deal with her embarrassment.
