Chapter 629 - Boring Meetings

"Yes, I am having a meeting with the officials and you are coming with me?" Jacob said as they walked out of the factory with hands intertwined.

"Ah...Honey. Meetings are boring. Do I really have to come with you?" J said looking at the majestic side profile of her husband while they are walking.

Jacob laughed. "Ha-ha. Sweetheart, I know how you feel about attending a meeting but you've been attending a meeting at the Robin Hood Society, haven't you got used to it?" Jacob asked amused.

J jutted her lower lip outward. "No. You know that I am only forced to attend those meetings because of my Dad. He hopes that I would someday take over the Society."

Jacob suddenly stops in his track and face J. "That's right. If you plan to take over either the Robin Hood Society or the CLP Group of Hospitals or the Twelve Army, you should get used to attending meetings." He said then pinch the tip of her nose before they continue walking.

"I never plan on taking over the Twelve Army," J said without giving it a thought because she never really see herself as the Chairman of the Twelve Army even if Jacob told her that he could hand over the hospitals or the Twelve Army to her if she decided to give the leadership of the Society to him.

"I know. I never expected you to. You may seem intimidating on the outside but too soft-hearted on the inside. You are too afraid to crash a door how much more if you are going to crash a living creature."

J frowned. "Are you teasing me or are you mocking me?" She said thou she knows that it both meant that he was making fun of her.

Jacob laughed out loud. They already stopped in front of a new black armored SUV. "You are just so cute when making fun of." He said then pinch her cheeks which earned him a glare from J.

After their late lunch at the cafeteria, the couple went back to the main building. James and Arthur have been waiting for them in the conference room together with the 12 officials of the Twelve Army.

The conference room is located on the 3rd floor so they had to take the elevator. J thought that it could be easier to escape that boring meeting and hide in their 'home' since they were just on the 3rd floor but unfortunately, she is still not familiar with the hallways of the building.

She cursed at Jacob internally. Why does the building have to be like a maze inside?

After exiting the elevator, they walked the hallway, turned right then left then right again and another right. They passed by several doors that looked the same until they stopped in one of them.

Jacob's hand is holding J's while he used his free hands to open the doorknob.

As soon as they were inside. J saw 12 men sitting in a long oval table stood up at once and greeted them with a salute.

Jacob's appearance with J surprised the 12 officials. They didn't expect Jacob to bring the Lady Boss with her. The 12 officials can't help but notice the striking contrast of the two. One is cold and aloof while the other one is laid-back.

Nevertheless, the two looked like a match made in heaven. Their looks are comparable to a King and Queen while their demeanor was a perfect fit. One could fill which the other is lacking.

J was astounded at the level of reverence that they show at Jacob.

She scanned each of the men and she could tell that all of them are older and even way older than them. But the way they respect Jacob is something commendable about them. It just shows that age is not a basis to gain such a level of respect but a person's capability.

J didn't notice James and Arthur until they approached the long oval table and pulled a chair for them.

When J and Jacob were seated, Jacob started to introduce her to the 12 officials.

After greeting and introduction, the meeting commenced. But J didn't give much attention to it. Instead, she looked around and observe the conference room while keeping her ears still open.

The theme of the conference room is black and white. The long oval table is black while the chairs were white leather. The lights are reflecting on the floor, walls, and ceiling. It doesn't have a window, probably to keep the place hidden. And J could also tell that the walls were soundproofed.

Overall, it was so minimalistic. Very, Jacob, J thought internally as she glanced at her husband beside her listening to the report of the officials.
