Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“I am just doing what I should be doing. These things must be settled quickly, or else we will lose our window of opportunity. I am sure that you know our opponents will not leave us any room for mistakes,” Sean reminded him.

“Yes, I will make the arrangements immediately. By the way, your meeting starts at 9 a. m.”

“Okay,” Sean answered and looked at Yvonne.

Yvonne nodded with a smile and said to Eli, “Follow me.”

Eli walked toward Yvonne and turned to look at Sean before leaving.

He was also looking at her, smiling.

There were times where Eli couldn’t understand what Sean was talking about. Why did Secretary Parker say that he had better foresight than his father just because he wanted to meet the entrepreneurs?

He seemed to be so different from the young wild boy whom she knew from before.

He seemed to be more mature, sophisticated, and shrewd.

She felt as though he had truly transitioned from a boy to a man.

She had a strange feeling in her heart. Her thoughts were vague and messy. She hung her head low as she followed Yvonne.

“Don’t worry about it, just stay by my side. I will introduce you to the most important members of the Cabinet. If you want to avoid making a mistake, just say as little as possible. I will help you with the rest,” Yvonne said to her softly.

“Madam, you don’t need to do that,” Eli said, “I’m not interested in all these things.”

“You would eventually encounter all these in the future because all these are a part of your job and responsibilities. It is not something that you could avoid. Perhaps you had grown up in a less complicated environment, but don’t worry about it. I will try to teach you as much as I could. Let me know if there’s anything you don’t understand. I will be more than happy to help,” Yvonne said softly.

Eli wanted to tell Yvonne that she would eventually leave Sean, but she was afraid that it would make things difficult for her if Sean were to discover her true intentions.

Therefore, she decided to swallow her words and stayed silent as she followed Yvonne to the Cabinet.

There was a special meeting room in the Cabinet and the well-dressed women were already seated accordingly.

The most distinguished person in the room was Yvonne because she was the Chief of the Cabinet. The seats were designed according to hierarchy, starting with those with higher positions sitting closer to Yvonne.

Eli felt that it was inappropriate for her to sit near Yvonne, so she walked toward the last seat. However, Yvonne held her hand and said, “Normally, Natasha would sit at my left to help me with the meeting minutes. She’s sick today, so could you please replace her and help me with it? The notebook is placed on the table at the corner.”

Yvonne’s voice was soft and gentle. It was just nice for everyone to hear what she was saying.

She had explained to everyone the reason as to why Eli was here in just a mere few sentences. That way, the attendees wouldn’t find it strange if she were to sit next to Yvonne in the meeting.

Eli was very amazed at Yvonne’s intelligence. She felt that this was not something that she could learn.

She nodded respectfully, then went to get the notebook and a pen. After that, she sat down on the first seat that was to Yvonne’s left.

“Let’s have a casual chat. New Year’s is coming soon. What kind of gifts would everyone like to receive or send?” Yvonne asked with a smile.

However, there was no response from any of them.

Eli didn’t know what was going on, so she didn’t dare to make any noise. It was torture for her just by sitting here. She would rather be at home, playing her computer games.

Yvonne looked at Zoah’s wife, who was sitting to her right side and asked, “Mrs. Davis, what do you think?”

“I think that it’s the thought that counts, so I would suggest doing it as we have always had,” she answered. She had never been much of an opinionated person.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Wouldn’t it feel perfunctory if we were to do it like the previous years? What do you think, Mrs. Zellweger?” Yvonne asked.

“Shall we give out gift cards then? That way, we could increase the sales of national products. Plus, everyone would also get to pick out something that they really want on their own. This is killing two birds with one stone,” she suggested.

“I think that is a good idea, and it seems to be the trend nowadays. Besides, it would be more convenient for everyone too,” someone from the meeting table said.

“But it would ruin the element of surprise, no? I think that it seems a little perfunctory too.” Yvonne thought about it, then looked to Eli and asked, “What do you think?”

Eli was stunned, then she said, “I think that everyone should take a vote. Those in favor of this idea should raise their hand.”

“Alright, let’s vote then. Raise your hand if you think that it’s a good idea,” Yvonne said softly.

Eli was the first to raise her hand. When others saw her doing so, they followed suit.

“Alright, we will follow the majority then. Gift cards it is, and we will add on a box of apples on the side to symbolize good health. Is that okay?”

There were no objections.

However, Eli felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

She didn’t know much about politics, so she felt a little bored. She scribbled on the notebook, “New year’s gift, one gift card, and a box of apples.”

“I am going to visit the orphanage next week. Would anyone care to join me?” Yvonne asked another question.

“Chief, I would like to go with you.”

Eli noticed that a woman in her mid-fifties had raised her hand and spoke with a trembling voice.

“Mrs. Zane, I’m afraid that it would not be a good idea now since your husband is facing a lot of backlashes right now. I don’t think that it’s appropriate for you to visit the innocent children in an orphanage,” someone said in objection.

Mrs. Zane was the wife of Trenton Zane, the Director of the Education Department. Her face turned gloomy, and she answered awkwardly, “It was all done by his subordinates. He had no idea about it at all. It’s not easy to oversee every single thing as a Director.”

“That just means that he is incapable. In my opinion, the Department of Education as a whole poses a big problem. How could you do this to the children? They are the future of the country. You guys have basically shaken the foundation of our country to the very core.”

Mrs. Zane face turned pale and she retorted furiously, “Madam Milana, how could you say that? How have we affected the foundation of the country? If we were to take your logic as an example, it would be akin to saying that I have caused a big hole in the road because I had thrown a plastic bag out my car window.”

“Do you think that things are that simple? Education is about the next generation. Your husband filled up the education “as with those undeserving students over the smart and talented students. Those bad students not only have bad characters, but they also influence the other students around them. This is a serious problem. Pray tell, how would it not affect the country’s foundation in the long run?”

“What do you mean by that? My husband didn’t know about all this. He would have stopped it if he was aware of this issue,” Mrs. Zane argued.

“It’s your husband’s responsibility to be aware of all these. Not knowing is an act of incompetence,” Madam Milana huffed.

“Milana Fellow, are you on the same team as Stella Grace? Are you her lap dog?” Mrs. Zane’s words were not pleasant.

Eli’s heart shuddered when she heard Stella’s name.

She remembered what Stella had done for Jasper when she wanted to be with him. She resigned as a doctor and started her career as a politician, and her goal was to get promoted as fast as possible.

She managed to do it in just mere five years. Not only did she become a politician, but she also established herself as a person to be reckoned with.
