Chapter 172 - The Secret To A Lasting Relationship

"Hmm, that's how it is. Cara, you know me so well, I shouldn't need to explain, you can already understand."

"... ..."

Cara was silent, so did Kaili. For a moment, the air seemed to stop, but not with time.

{By the way, how long have we not drunk together? Let's get a drink tonight while eating hot pot! We can eat any meat which is so tasty, lamb, pork, just say it!}

Kaili smiled, "Okay, at the usual place.." She also needed peace. Even if she came back home, the fear would haunt her.

{Of course. I will be waiting for you.}

"Okay, Miss unemployed."

After that, the call ended. The feeling of loneliness again filled Kaili's heart.

(>_<)

Meanwhile at GBK,

"Boss, it's time for the stock meeting to begin. The investors are already waiting in the boardroom." Brandy reminded Dexter who had been looking so uninspired since this morning. This didn't seem like the Dexter people were familiar with.

"Hmph...." Dexter was too lazy to even open his mouth. He only cleared his throat. After saying so, he lifted his buttocks from his proud chair and walked elegantly, not forgetting to button the dark blue coat he was wearing.

"Boss, your mask?" The rebuke made Dexter's steps stop. Without warning, Brandy had brought the dark black mask close to Dexter. The man accepted proudly.

When the meeting room door was opened, the noise suddenly became silent. Dexter's aura was terrifying. The wrinkles on his brows were obvious. It was certain that this man was in a bad mood! In this state, whoever it was, if you want to be safe, it was better to be silent. Without looking at all of them, Dexter sat proudly in the leader's seat.

Everyone was silent and amazed to see the figure who had been standing for GBK! They had often heard about GBK, but they never knew the leader, whether it was a human or a robot, this was the first time they could see it in person even though he was still wearing a mask, but it was already a big fortune!

Those present today were the leaders of a company. They hope to work together with GBK and be a part of it. Hopefully, with the funds invested in GBK, they would also reap huge profits seeing the glory that GBK had, it was clear that all those involved in it would only enjoy luck, if they were lucky, they could even get Internal Stakeholders.

One minute, until it lasted 10 minutes, Dexter didn't speak. Brandy could only scratch his head that didn't itch, then he said, "Well, Sir all the leaders, please tell me the price bids you all want to put forward."

After being allowed to talk, they excitedly expressed their greatness to each other. Instantly, the room that had been quiet now became chaotic and noisy. People who wanted to buy internal shares who would willingly spend a lot of money to get a shareholder position in GBK, almost started fighting, giving each other their opinions.

However, despite all the chaos, Dexter sat down casually while shaking his legs. Several times, he didn't even hesitate to yawn while playing with his pen. This was not a new story for him. Every time there was a meeting, even if you have a careful plan, if profit was involved, there would still be a commotion between life and death!!

"Even if you can't get internal shares, I hope the share distribution this time should be evenly distributed, it should be proportional to the share ownership ratio. Or are there any previous shareholders here who wish to add shares?"

The person who talked was so shameless!! He should be happy just by getting the shares, wasn't he? Hearing that, the others immediately rebelled in disapproval!

"Why should it be divided equally? Of course, the highest bidder deserves it!"

"I also don't agree if it is divided equally, I want to get more!" If you can invest up to 10%, why bother with 3%? Seriously!

"But if everyone wants to get to the top, the remaining shares won't be very much! Everyone who comes here of course wants to get a share."

"Regarding that, it's not up to us to decide, all decisions are in the hands of President Chiro."

After that, everyone returned to silence and simultaneously looked at Dexter who looked indifferent.

One of them dared to speak up, "President Chiro, tell me what you think about the extra share plan."

Dexter stretched his muscles lazily. Just as he was about to speak, the ringing of a phone broke the silence. They looked at each other. The cold aura in the room grew even colder.

The man, whose mobile phone was ringing was also in a hurry to stop the source of the sound, it was an incoming call. But unfortunately, he even unknowingly answered the call.

As soon as the call was answered, from the other side came a woman's voice with a very excited greeting.

[Husband, how was today's meeting? Was your offer agreed? How did you do it? Don't worry, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. For us, in our house, you are still the head of a great family. Don't worry, okay. Don't forget to have lunch, or do you want to come home at lunchtime? We haven't had lunch together in two days.]

The fat man had repeatedly tried to stop his wife's chatter, but the wife - the person on the phone - kept on talking until she finished saying a sentence of encouragement.

After his wife was silent, the fat man spoke calmly and trembled slightly, "Don't worry, I will try, and we are currently in a meeting. I'll hang up first."

Without waiting for the regretful words that his wife would say, the man had hung up the phone with great reluctance.

Until that happened, the atmosphere in the room was still silent. Some of the heads who were there still didn't dare to speak. This situation lasts up to 5 minutes. Until then, there was one person who dared to speak up.

"Mr. Fulton, is it your first time attending a meeting? Why so reckless? Can't you put your phone on silent mode?"

"That's right, you are not a new company leader, you have been in this field for a long time, you are still careless."

"Maybe it has something to do with age." The others answered.

The atmosphere that was once silent now became uncontrollable. Everyone blamed each other for the fat man who had received the phone call earlier.

At first, Dexter was not so happy with the sound of that phone call. This was an example of a leader's indiscipline. For Dexter, it was a fatal thing. However, when he heard the words of a wife who was encouraging her husband, for some reason Dexter was not angry, but instead was interested in hearing how these two couples who were no longer young, continued to have such an intimate and harmonious relationship in their household.

After all, blaspheming each other, the fat man began to speak in fear. He lifted his gaze and looked at Dexter who had no expression on his face.

"That… Mr. Chiro, I apologize for the carelessness that has occurred, I forgot to turn off my cell phone. It was a call from my wife, she was just a little worried about me."

Dexter didn't respond, he looked at the expensive watch perched on his hand.

After clearing his throat, he looked at everyone in the room, then said, "Today's meeting ends here, we'll continue after lunch."

People were still dumbfounded, but Dexter had already added, "Mr. Fulton, please come with me."

Hearing the order, people immediately speculated that Mr. Fulton would be removed from the list of stock buyers and punished for causing trouble at the meeting. The people seemed to feel the anger that inhabits Dexter's soul, including Jacob Fulton.

Jacob Fulton, the fat man felt that he had completely missed the opportunity to be part of the GBK. He would be expelled after being given a clear warning that it was impossible to be gentle from the GBK leader. His sad eyes stared at Dexter, but the man got up without intending to continue his words.

Even Brandy who had been standing beside him was surprised, "Eh, boss, where are you going?" he called as soon as he saw Dexter walking towards the exit.

Dexter paused, then squinted at Brandy, as if warning him.

'Where are you going?' Did that need to be asked again? Of course, he wanted to ask for advice on 36 ways to pursue his wife's love!

Dexter was so interested in knowing the ways that should be needed in pursuing his wife's love. Even though Kaili admitted that she loved him, it was not enough of a reference. It was not that he didn't believe Kaili's love for him, but couldn't love went and disappear at any moment? Especially after seeing Kaili's strange behavior, Dexter had to work even harder.

But he didn't say that, in this room, apart from Brandy, no one else knew about his marriage, and Jacob Fulton would be the next person to know this.
