...

Henry's ambiguous remarks must have made Otis even more worried. Because if Henry had said not to worry then Henry was carrying out a plan that was quite dangerous in an emotional context. Something beyond Otis' thinking.

"That's best." Reply to Otis helplessly. Shrugging his shoulders resignedly.

There was nothing Otis could do but pray silently for Henry's safety. Somehow Otis had a bad feeling. Besides, Otis had to believe that whatever Henry did was well planned.

"..."

Both Henry and Otis rushed downstairs for the Lehmann family breakfast. Of course, to celebrate the success of Henry's engagement with Winola and the progress of the acquisition of several Meyer companies, it is only a matter of counting fingers.

In general, the Lehmann family is not a family that is greedy for business expansion. Only sometimes, diplomacy wrapped with an engagement is an unavoidable step. Especially if the Meyer family first proposed the brilliant idea.

As many people know, Winola Meyer is the only female heir in the Meyer family and it is customary for conglomerates to match their daughters with business competitors to reduce future business tensions.

"Otis, you seem to be staying in Henry's room. Doesn't your wife mind if you get too close to your best friend since high school?" Old Madame Lehmann snickered at Otis who could only nod in agreement.

"Even if I go home, my wife will only pay attention to our son who is now almost two years old. To him, I am like a seed contributor for our daughter. Sometimes I wonder myself, why am I going home if I always don't pay attention to it." Otis chuckled in reply.

"It's like that when a woman has a toddler. You have to be patient, Otis. I've experienced it three times so I understand." Grandmaster Lehmann's comment laughed along with it.

Henry is the second of three children. His older brother, Dexter Lehmann was already successful in business and now serves as President Director of the Lehmann conglomerate. Meanwhile, Henry's younger sister is still studying management, Serena Lehmann.

In the end, everyone laughed along, laughing at Otis' funny remarks. Likewise with Henry smiled faintly, sitting next to Serena who was busy with her tablet.

"Brother, I have a lot of homework and I'm worried that there won't be enough time to do it so can my handsome Henry brother be willing to help?" Serena was seduced with her adorable round eyes.

Henry could only snort lightly. His little sister would always try to lick her tongue if there was something she wanted. Just like this time.

"Serena, do your own thing. You should understand that your brother Henry is busy with his work and wedding preparations. Don't interfere with your coursework. Aren't you ashamed if you get good grades but it's not the result of your thinking?" rebuked Master Lehmann to his daughter.

"Father, I was only asking for some tactical advice. There's no need for father to even say I know such things." Serena grumbled, then closed the tablet and quickly finished her plate.

"Tell me about it via email. There's no need to make a fuss in front of dad, got it?" Henry whispered in Serena's right ear. Make sure only Serena hears.

In the right of firmness, Mr. Lehmann is an excellent example. To no one, Mr. Lehmann will not show favoritism and that makes his children naturally educated as independent individuals.

Even so, Serena is just a spoiled youngest child, and Henry as an older brother never forgets to pamper his sister a little. For Henry, Serena is a form of true purity of a woman. In contrast to his mother who is firm like a marine.

"OK, brother." Reply Serena blushed. Nodding slowly as a sign that he understood what his older brother said, who always sided with him no matter what happened.

"..."

At Lehmann's corporate headquarters, Isana is busy setting up a meeting room for managers to be attended by their big boss, CEO Henry Lehmann. Arrange tables and chairs and meeting materials as quickly as possible. Big Boss will be here in thirty minutes.

Although technically Isana is Henry's secretary in the company, that's not entirely true because all the work that Isana has to do will be instructed by Otis first as Henry's assistant.

"Already completed?" whispered Julie, Isana's best friend from behind the door. Julie is a member of the Public Relations Team at the company. Julie also brought Isana to work at the company.

Isana shook her head in resignation. Technically, the task is done when distributing meeting materials at the last table. However, this is not the case if it is their CEO, Henry Lehmann, who will attend the meeting.

Isana had to check once again everything related to the meeting and all the little things. Their Big Bosses are usually very meticulous with everything they touch, see and focus on. Especially during meetings with managers.

"What is wrong?" replied Isana when she was done.

"Have you asked your husband about the gossip? What's the reaction?" Julie hissed curiously.

"As I expected. Gary and Winola are purely related by work. It would be strange if Winola's taste was of low standards and liked my husband, wouldn't it?" Isana replied with a shrug.

Because Isana is very sure that Gary will not have enough confidence to seduce a top actress like Winola and that woman will also not be able to bend her knees in front of Gary without a certain motive.

"You are right. It's just, I still feel something strange." Julie's comment before disappearing into her cubicle.

The meeting was about to start, Isana sitting behind Otis as usual. Meanwhile, Henry was leading the meeting with a cold, deadly aura like past meetings. Henry's eyes were sharp as he read the meeting material.

"Perhaps you should know that we are going to acquire Meyer's company, but before that happens we will take over the agency that handles Winola. Why I'm doing such useless things is that lately there's always been some nasty gossip about my fiancée so the sooner we take over the better. Isana, please inform the Public Relations Team about this matter to immediately draft a press conference which I will conduct myself. Right now, Isana." Henry's words made Isana immediately stand up because her name was called twice.
