Chapter 247
Nancy panicked, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Mr. James, please don't chase me away. I don't want to leave. I love the work atmosphere here, and I've already gotten used to working here...
"I'm not chasing you away. I'm sending you to a more comfortable position. Don't be ungrateful" Hackett leaned back, looking at Nancy, who was on the verge of tears. He couldn't stand it, as he detested women crying the most.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Nancy walked right up to him and knelt down, displaying an extremely submissive posture. "Mr. James, I really don't want to leave here. I've grown accustomed to everything here, and I promise not to listen to Mr. Hawk's words again. I'll work diligently. Please..." Hackett, hearing the tearful voice, developed a severe headache, coupled with a burning sensation on his back. He felt increasingly annoyed.
"Alright, go out. Don't bother me." He waved his hand, urging her to leave. The sound of her crying was driving him crazy.
Gratefully, Nancy stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. James. I will definitely work hard. Thank you, Mr. James." With that. she immediately left the office.
Once the door was closed, the office finally regained its peace and quiet. Hackett stared at the office door, his lips tightly pursed. This woman had become like gum stuck to his shoe, impossible to shake off.
Hackett picked up his phone and dialed Finn's number. After a few rings, Finn answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, Finn was apparently at a noisy gathering. He yelled at the phone. "Why do you have time to call me? You, a busy man, have some free time recently? Finn klew how busy Hackett had been lately, so he hadn't bothered him with the takeover business.
Hackett snorted. "Get the aggress you arranged for me out of here. She's no longer of any use, and she's sticking to me like. gum. You handle it yourself. I don't want to see her again. Because he always felt that Nancy's gaze was strange, and the more he looked at it, the more irritated he became.
"Which actress? Are you talking about Nancy, your secretary? What's going on? Aren't you planning to win back your ex-wife?"
Hackett stared at the table for a while and replied indifferently, Hmm..."
"So, you have changed your mind again? Fortunately, she did not agree. Otherwise, you'd have dumped her again. You scumbag Hackett frowned and could not help but curse. "Fuck off?" With that, he hung up the phone.
Slowly, he stood up, took the documents from the table, and prepared to head to the next meeting. There were two projects to launch simultaneously, so these days were filled with endless meetings to ensure that each department's tasks were on track and without any hiccups.
Just as he left the office, Nancy in the secretary area stood up, nodding towards him. "Mr. James..
Seeing that Nancy was about to follow him to the meeting room Hackett glanced at the other secretary. "May, come with me to the meeting"
The other female secretary stood up. "Of course, Mr. James."
Then, she followed him, casting a triumphant smile back at the other secretaries in the secretary area, as if to say, "Finally,
my turn,"
Nancy stood there, her expression defiant, biting her lower lip.

"Oh, someone's falling out of favor. And the treatment isn't much better for this so-called first love of Mr. James."

"That's right, I've noticed Mr. James has been avoiding someone lately. What's the point of a first love? All the good things come later. Men don't care about their first love. Only women can't forget theirs. The other two secretaries intentionally mocked Nancy loudly. Nancy gave them a cold look and was about to retort but thought better of it. For now, the most important thing was to stay. in the James Group. Otherwise, how could she establish a relationship with Hackett?
If she could manage to stay, there would always be a chance. She would be patient and there was no need to rush.
The next day, in the evening. After Alex finished school and had dinner at home, he kept insisting on going to the hospital to
see Hackett.
Valeria originally thought that after one night, this little guy would forget about it, but he was still recalling the matter.
At times like this, she could not help but acknowledge the importance of blood ties. He cared so much for his father. He was truly a filial son who knew how to empathize.
"Mommy, please hurry up. Daddy will fall asleep soon, and then I won't be able to see him." Alex rushed into the elevator. urging Valeria impatiently from inside.
Valeria reluctantly entered the elevator. 'Alright, alright, why are you so impatient?"
Since they couldn't go to the hospital empty-handed as Hackett had been injured for her, Valeria decided to buy some flowers and a fruit basket. So, Valeria drove to a roadside flower shop and purchased a bouquet of lilies. Then, she went to the nearby fruit store and bought a fruit basket.
As for the impatient Alex, he kept urging her. "Mommy, hurry up. Mommy, hurry up, it's getting dark."
"Alright, alright, I get it, Valeria said with a helpless expression as she walked out, holding the bouquet of lilies. This little boy was driving her crazy.
Valeria drove to the hospital with Alex. He clutched a large bouquet of flowers, while she carried the fruit basket. However, when they arrived at the hospital room, they found it empty, as if no one had ever been there.
Alex blinked. "Mommy, where's Daddy? Where is he?"
What was going on! Had she gotten the room number wrong, or perhaps she had come to the wrong hospital? How could there be no one here?
At that moment, a nurse happened to pass by, and Valeria approached her. "Excuse me. I'd like to ask about the patient in
this room."
"Oh, you're asking about Mr. James. He checked out of the hospital the same evening he was admitted."
"Checked out? Wasn't he supposed to stay for two days for observation? Why did he leave?" Valeria remembered the doctor saying that Hackett's wound needed two days of observation
The nurse looked somewhat helpless. "We tried to advise him, but Mr. James insisted on leaving. We had no choice but to give him some medication and allow him to check out for self-care." After saying this, the nurse walked away, carrying the medical tray. Valeria was bewildered. This was ridiculous. He had been attacked with sulfuric acid. How could he just check out with his own decision? What if the wound got infected and started suppurating?
Valeria sighed. This man was so stubborn, like a child who would not listen to the doctor.
Alex, with both hands tightly clutching the bouquet, looked up her. "Mommy, can't we see Daddy? Is Daddy out of the
hospital?"
"Yes, you heard what the nurse said. Daddy has left the hospital.
"Then let's go to Daddy's place to see him. I want to give Daddy the flowers. These are for Daddy" Alex was equally determined. They truly were a father-and-son pair, each more determined than the other. Valeria let out a soft sigh. "Do we absolutely have to see Daddy today? What about tomorrow?"

"No! We must see Daddy today. I want to give him these flowers, Alex said, tightly hugging the bouquet in his arms.
Valeria had no choice but to take out her phone and call Hackett to find out where he was. There was no guarantee he was even at the mansion.
