Bailey smiled gloomily and teased, “Little lunatic, it’s quite convenient to have you around. I’ll go against you less in the future.”

Bailey was telling the truth. It was indeed convenient and reassuring to have a man like Zachary by her side.

The past confrontations were still vivid in Zachary’s mind. He was still not used to Bailey acting like this. He coughed lightly and said, “I just want to win my spoils of war. Don’t think too much. Also, don’t call me a little lunatic, or I don’t mind giving you a resounding nickname!”

Bailey deliberately dragged out her words. “Oh~” Then, her voice carried a hint of temptation as she said evilly, “So, you’ve taken a fancy to my beauty, right? Why don’t you call me Little Beauty!”

Even though Bailey was not in front of him now, Zachary’s face turned red in embarrassment. However, he said unforgivingly, “Ms. Shear, you should not do things like thinking too highly of yourself, lest you embarrass yourself in the future. It will hurt too much! Also, the nickname little beauty is not suitable for you. It’s probably more suitable for you to be called the heartless one.”

Bailey was amused. She didn’t know who would be slapped in the face in the future! However, ‘heartless person’ did indeed seem to be describing her.

In her previous life, Zachary had helped her a lot both openly and covertly. Even though he liked her in his heart, after knowing that she was with Xavier, he did not come to ruin it. Later on, when she died, he even avenged her. After helping her so much, she did not even thank him properly. She was indeed heartless.

Hence, Bailey realized his conscience and wanted to say a few heartwarming words to Zachary. However, in the end, Zachary hung up on her. Bailey shrugged and could only give up.

Early the next morning, Bailey went to the company. Jeremy was going overseas today to settle the setting up of an exhibition cabinet in Country A.

The Shear family started out as a tomb raider. Later on, most of them changed their careers to the antique business. In Bailey’s family branch, only the two brothers, Jeremy and Matthew, still interacted with each other. The rest were scattered both domestically and overseas and rarely contacted each other.

Later on, when they couldn’t survive in the antiques industry, Jeremy used some of his connections to change his career into jewelry, jade, and fashion accessories. However, he was met with strong opposition by his brother Matthew, and the two of them separated from each other.

After that, Jeremy took the opportunity of the benefits given by the national policy and over the past few decades, the jewelry business had been doing well. He had also invested the money he earned in other industries, including various real estate, medical care, education, and so on. This had also contributed to the current Shear Corporation.

However, the corporation’s main business was still jewelry. This time, Jeremy wanted to internationalize his brand, so he needed to go overseas personally to inspect it. At the same time, he was going to take the chance to visit Country S to see the local minerals.

When Bailey rushed to her father’s office, she saw Matthew drinking tea inside. Matthew was her second uncle, Julia’s father.

When Matthew saw Bailey, he smiled, but his eyes did not have much warmth as he asked, “Bailey, why are you here in the company? Are you here to look for your father? Come, come and drink tea, it’s a golden melon tribute tea that was just sent over.”

Bailey had accompanied her father to the auction last week and was prepared to give the tea to their foreign business partner as a gift. She did not expect it to be drunk by Matthew.

Coupled with his comfortable and natural posture, it was as if he, Matthew, was the owner of this office.

Bailey narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthew with a dark expression. She reminded him, “Second Uncle, the tea you’re drinking now is a gift my father is prepared to bring to his foreign business partners. It’s not appropriate for you to drink it like this, right?”

Matthew was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little bad. He thought that his brother had bought it for him to drink, so he opened it without permission. Was there a need to treat his brother as an outsider? He did not expect it to be intended a gift.

However, even if he was wrong, Matthew still could not stand Bailey talking to an elder like him like this. For some reason, Matthew felt that Bailey seemed to have changed today.

Matthew’s tone hardened slightly. He put on the airs of an elder and pushed the blame to others. “Since the secretary knows that it’s a gift, why was it left here? Secretary Yan is too incompetent. Bailey, you have to tell your father later that such an unprofessional subordinate shouldn’t stay by his side.”

As he spoke, Matthew seemed to have suddenly thought of something and continued, “The secretary I introduced to your father previously is even more outstanding. When the time comes, you can do some work on your father. You can’t spoil Secretary Yan just because Secretary Yan has been in the corporation for a long time. An employee is an employee. You can never treat him as family.”
