Chapter 402: Chapter 402 My Wife Told Me to Come Home for Dinner
Hope Williams coughed lightly, "You’re in a meeting, did all your employees hear what you just said?"
Waylon Lewis has always had an image of being indifferent and ruthless, but now he’s spouting sweet nothings. Won’t it affect his image in front of employees?
Waylon Lewis glanced at the group of people below who were looking at their documents and pretending not to hear, and said slowly, "They didn’t hear it."
Ah right, we’re all deaf here, please continue.
Hope Williams smiled lightly, "Will you come home for dinner?"
"I might not make it in time, you guys eat first, no need to wait for me."
"Alright then, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m going to go shopping with Aria later."
"Okay, call me when you’re done shopping, and I’ll come pick you up."
"Continue your meeting first, I’m hanging up."
After hanging up, Waylon Lewis scanned the crowd, pressed his lips tightly, and said calmly, "My wife asked me to come home for dinner."
Everyone, "..."
Look at the CEO’s smug face, as if we don’t have wives.
Thomas Hughes coughed softly as a reminder to everyone.
Can’t you understand?
Everyone exchanged glances for a second, then quickly caught on and immediately became more spirited, talking faster than before.
Aria Richardson knocked on the door, and Aunt Thompson hurried to open it, "Miss Richardson is here."
"Yeah, where’s Hope?"
"The madam is in the room, she said you can go straight up."
Aria nodded and thanked her, "Why haven’t I seen Luke and Willow?"
"The young master and the young miss are having a lesson upstairs. The madam hired a tutor for them."
Aria raised her eyebrows slightly, "I see, thank you. I’ll go up and find Hope."
Aria headed upstairs and Hope Williams, who had just taken a bath and changed clothes, came out of the bathroom. Her room door wasn’t closed, so Aria peeked from the doorway.
Seeing her cautious look, Hope Williams smiled and said, "Waylon Lewis isn’t home."
Aria then relaxed and walked in, sitting down on the sofa, "It’s good he’s not here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare come in, afraid of being killed by his look."
Hope Williams raised a corner of her lips slightly, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Of course it is. By the way, I heard you hired a tutor for Luke and Willow?"
"Yes."
"Do Luke and Willow really need a tutor? If I remember correctly, they’re already ahead in their studies, aren’t they? And they’re still working so hard, what about the rest of us?"
Hope Williams replied while drying her hair, "Mainly because there’s nothing much to do at home. Waylon and I are both at work, and it’s quite boring for them being at home by themselves. It’s still a long time until the next semester starts; they can’t just play all the time."
Aria nodded, "That’s true. Are you done? If so, let’s go out. I haven’t been shopping for a long time. If you don’t come with me, I won’t go by myself."
"Just sit for a bit, I’m going to blow dry my hair. I’ll be quick."
"Okay," Aria nodded.
Hope Williams quickly finished readying herself and didn’t delay Aria either. As they left the room, they saw Grace Gray standing at the door, apparently waiting for her.
Hope Williams pursed her lips, looking at the timid girl, with a slight change in her indifferent face, "Miss Gray, are you waiting for me?"
Grace Gray bit her lower lip and nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Lewis, I wanted to ask for a leave tomorrow. There’s something at school, and I might not have time to come over."
Hope Williams nodded lightly, "Okay, that’s fine."
She looked down, seemed hesitant for a moment, then continued, "I’m sorry for delaying Luke and Willow’s progress because of my personal affairs. How about this, I’ll stay a little longer today, otherwise I’d feel bad."
Hope Williams raised an eyebrow, "No need, it’s okay, this is normal. You don’t need to feel sorry."
Grace Gray bit her lip and twisted her fingers nervously in front of her, "Thank you for understanding. Then, I’ll finish today’s lesson."
Hope Williams nodded, "Fine."
Aria quietly observed Grace Gray, unable to help tugging the corner of her mouth.
Even after she turned away, Aria still couldn’t help but take another glance.
"What’re you looking at?"
Aria turned her gaze back and continued to walk downstairs holding Hope Williams’s hand, "So this is the tutor?"
"Yes."
Aria clicked her tongue twice.
Hope Williams saw her meaningful look and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and smile, "What?"
Aria spoke in a low voice, "Haven’t you noticed that your family’s little tutor has an innocent look, but she’s not really innocent? It feels like it’s all put on. Don’t you think so?"
Hope Williams looked back in the direction of the staircase, a glint flashing in her eyes, "Indeed, I’ve had the same feeling."
"I suggest you be careful. She might look like a little white rabbit, but actually be a wolf in sheep’s clothing."
Hope Williams nodded, "I know."
That’s why she always asked Aunt Thompson to keep an eye on her; there were precautions in place.
Hope Williams and Aria went to the mall and did a round of shopping. Mainly, it was Aria buying, with Hope simply accompanying her. In less than an hour, Aria had loads of big and small bags, quite the bounty.
Seeing her ensemble, Hope Williams couldn’t help her eyelids twitching, "Miss Richardson, are you here for stockpiling?"
Aria playfully raised her eyebrows, "Is it easy for me to go out with Young Madam Lewis? I have to make the most of it and buy more."
