“Slapped in your slead? What do you mean? Gary’s pleasant expression immediately darkened when he heard this.

Larissa told him what happened in the conference room in an exaggerated manner. Finally, she got to the point.

“Marilyn has been so helpful to me. Can we give her a raise?”

“Sure.” As long as it didn’t involve Kevan, Gary always agreed to Larissa’s requests, will inform the HR department

later. Marilyn’s salary will be raised by 10%.”

Larissa gave him a bear hug. “Thanks, Dad!”

Gary burst into laughter, his eyes crinkling. He patted her hand and said. “I haven’t had the chance to talk to you

recently, Now that you’ve been in Blue Star Shipping for some time, how do you find the work? Is difficull?

Larissa glanced at Lewis and said proudly. “With Lewis around, what difficulties could I possibly have?”

“That’s good to know.” Gary seemed relieved. “You know that my health is declining. Dr. Smith has been telling me

for years to step down and rest.

“However, I’m worried that Lewis wouldn’t be able to handle the old fogies in the boardroom. Lark, work harder

and take my position as Soon as you car. When you and Lewis can support earn other, I can finally be rest assured.”

“Yes, I will do my best! Larissa promised solemnly.

She wasn’t that clear on the severity of Gary’s epileasy, but she had witnessed his seizures twice. Both seizures

happened on the first and second time they met. Al this frequency, seemed urgent for Gary to step down and rest.

“Even if we start recruiting today and ask them to start tomorrow, it would take time for training.”

In other words, the presidential office might take a month to resume normal operations,

“Don’t worry about that. I have pulled in the most e te staff from other departments. They will complete the

handover of their tasks this afternoon. They can start working tomorrow officialy.”

Gary remained calm and composed. There was no sign of panic in his voice.

“This principle not only applies to work but also to relationships, just like you and Kevan. “Gary changed the topic

abruptly.

When he brought Kevan up, Larissa knew he would nag again,

“Oh! Marilyn is waiting for me to have lunch with her! She grabbed both Marilyn’s and her lunch boxes. Without

waiting for Gary to speak, she ran out quickly. The door to the office closed with a bang.

Gary’s face darkened. He grilled his teeth and sighed helplessly. “This girl –

“Lari is already more than thirty years old. She knows how to handle her own relationships. Don’t you worry about

her,” Lewis cevised.

“She’s my only daughter. Who should I worry about if not her? Oh, right! I’ll worry about you instead.” Gary looked

up and gwelews aside

The calmness on Lewis face cracked a little. He passed the utensils to Gary and opened the lunch boxes, saying,

“Just continue worrying about Lar ther
