Chapter 234 - 233: Meeting The QPRC Queen
When Nathan got a hold of the news that the troublesome woman had come to see him and was met by his wife, Nathan immediately wanted to leave the meeting.
However, before he could even stood up, Tang Hao had showed him the live feed coming from the CCTV inside the lounge.
Upon seeing how his wife had flawlessly handled his troublesome step-mother, a flashy smile was shown on his face shocking his subordinates.
Though this was not the first time they had seen him smiling, it still caused them to have a shiver down their spine.
They knew all too well who caused Nathan to be in a good mood.
It could be the Missus.
Truth enough, Nathan even chuckled when he saw Eunji throwing a flying kiss on the camera as if telling him, "Hubby, I performed really well, I want my reward."
They had always seen Nathan pulling the cold and serious face whenever he was in the office building. The last time they had seen him so affectionate and so gentle was when Missus Bai came to visit him in the company.
After that, his expression returned to normal.
So a mere smile, what more a chuckle from the man had almost caused them to pass out in disbelief.
Because of this, their respect for Eunji had grown even more.
Nathan who was now in a good mood talked to his subordinates as he said, "If we finished everything before the clock hits five, no overtime for tonight but you'll still got paid the same amount."
His announcement had caused his employees to be shocked even more.
Nathan was so strict when it comes to their work. He wanted them to deliver results thus overtime for four hours was mandatory. Of course, their over time hours were paid pretty handsomely as long as they delivered good results at the end of the month.
So giving them a holiday from over time was already a blessing. In fact, they were almost done with the meeting and it was still almost four in the afternoon.
Simply put, the meeting would end even before five.
"Thank you Master Bai!" The people on the room said in chorus.
Soon the atmosphere in the conference room turned serious again.
***
Eunji went back to Nathan's office as she punched in the code. The combination was actually changed into the day the two of them had accidentally met and had their first intimate night together.
Nathan was even shy on telling her the passcode when she asked him earlier.
And Eunji wasted no time and teased him.
She then placed her palm on the palm scanner to complete the verification before the door could be unlocked.
She gently rubbed her belly as the unlocking computer sound resounded.
Fu Lifen had also came back to her table and resumed her work since Eunji was already back at Nathan's office.
Eunji waited for her man to finish the meeting.
To kill some time, she decided to read on the documents being piled on his desk.
She didn't want him to bring any work back home tonight.
She wanted him to relax when he's with her and not think of anything else.
The piles of documents were actually the year-end reports submitted by every department heads to Nathan.
There were few project proposals inserted on them, too.
Eunji read through them and sighed when she saw that all of the project proposals were actually garbage. It was like they were made by a college freshman.
Eunji scanned through the documents and made some constructive comments after every pages to improve the whole proposal.
Since it was Fu Lifen who had helped her just now, Eunji called her through the intercom and asked her to deliver it to their respective departments as she had done checking on them.
Truth enough as soon as Secretary Fu handed back the proposals to their recipient departments, they were ashamed of their outputs. Thus even though Nathan had announced that there won't be any overtime for the night, they volunteered themselves.
Eunji then continued reading through the pile of papers and separated those which still needed slight revisions and those which were good for Nathan's signature.
Eunji was so keen to details that she could even spot that they had used a different font styles and wrong punctuation marks in the sentences that were written in English.
Eunji was still reading the documents when Nathan entered his office.
"Now I'm starting to feel jealous of those papers. Are they so important than me that you didn't even spare me a glance?" Nathan sounded upset.
"Oh come on! Stop being childish okay? You should be thankful that I am reducing your workload for tomorrow." Eunji sighed in disbelief.
"Alright! Alright!" Nathan said as he went behind her and massaged Eunji's shoulders and back part.
"What are you doing?" Eunji asked as she gave the man a side glance.
"Well, you're probably tired of reading them so I'm giving you a massage." Nathan told her with a mischievous grin in the face.
"Oh! You're just probably taking advantage of the fact that I am busy right now." Eunji teased him as she read the last document on the pile.
"I've made some corrections on these reports, please do review them if there's any add-ons that you wanted them to put." Eunji told her man but Nathan had trusted his wife's abilities and not doubt her.
"It's okay. I trust you." Nathan said that as he placed a gentle kiss on Eunji's cheeks.
"Done!" Eunji said after finishing the last document.
"These piles are good to go. What's needed is your signature. While these, I placed them here because I felt like they could do better than these. Not to looked down on their skills...the reports were made good actually. But I felt like with a gentle push, they could improve their outputs better."
Nathan hummed in agreement to his wife.
Sometimes they (his employees) tend to be complacent that he had to be terror so they would work like they were on a hot seat.
"How about give them some company outing when it's no longer busy!" Eunji suggested.
That way, the employees would enjoy some fun activities that could relieve their stress.
This would give them balance and the activity was aimed to improve their team work and camaraderie inside their department.
Nathan was silent as he gave that a thought.
"I'll think about it." He finally said.
"Good. Now, we are hungry." Eunji complained with a cute voice.
"Sure...let's go. You've done exceptionally well today and made me proud. So you have earned yourself a reward." Nathan told his wife as he glanced at the time on his watch.
It was exactly five when they went out of the office and got inside his exclusive elevator.
The elevator led them to Nathan's private parking lot and the couple got out from it.
Eunji saw two cars and a van being parked beside Nathan's Bentley. They were Nathan's men who were tasked to guard the couple and Derek and Darren were leading them.
The chauffeur and Tang Hao opened the back doors respectively after seeing their bosses coming out of the building.
Nathan waited Eunji to safely entered the car first before he ran towards the other side.
As their car speed off towards their destination, those cars had followed them as well.
Nathan brought Eunji to QPRC to eat in one of the world's finest restaurant inside the vicinity of the resort.
Nathan smiled as they entered the compound of the resort.
The car stopped in front of the Royalty's Restaurant.
Tang Hao went out to open Nathan's door and when he successfully went out, he ran towards Eunji's side opened the door for her.
He then gave his hand for her to hold.
He placed his free hand over her head as he was afraid that she would bumped her head into the ceiling of the car.
"Thank you." Eunji said.
Nathan then wrapped his arms around Eunji's waist and led her inside the restaurant.
As soon as the guard pushed the door open for them, everyone's attention were immediately shifted towards them. Especially when twelve men in black entered the restaurant with them.
They were hungry guests gathered at the entrance of the restaurant who also wanted to eat their dinner there but the tables were full so they had to wait a little bit but they didn't mind.
There's also a seafood restaurant beside it and it was also full. So they decided to wait.
They were regular guests of QPRC holding the lowest card membership. And they could only eat on the fist floor if they wanted to have their meal in the restaurants.
The higher their QPRC membership card, the better amenities and services one could avail.
Also, since they were foreign guests with no care in business so they didn't recognized who they were.
Not until the manager stepped in and welcomed the couple and would be leading them to their reserved room.
"Good evening Master Bai! Mistress!" Of course the manager knew who Kim Eunji now. J had made sure they could recognize the Boss when she visited the place.
Eunji was not surprised by the manager's enthusiasm upon seeing them as she his actions were pretty normal.
The manager didn't mind Nathan and Eunji's indifference too. As it was already like a wish come true to meet the big boss. What more, to meet a heavy weight like Nathan.
Eunji then casted a glance at the twelve guards escorting them. They'd probably be standing outside their room while Nathan and her were having their dinner.
Since they were already here, why not let them eat their dinner here too?
"Hubby, can we bring them in too. I'm pretty sure they had not eaten dinner yet."
Nathan already understood what they were implying and Nathan agreed with her.
If that would make his wife happy then, he's more than willing to comply.
"Which room did you reserve?" Eunji asked Nathan.
"The Fox Palace." Nathan told her.
As soon as Nathan mentioned the name, those who had the idea about it gasped.
Only those who held the highest membership could dine in there. It's in the third floor of the restaurant too.
Thus, they felt envious of Nathan's status since they were foreigners and young heirs who didn't dive in the business world yet.
"Not bad. Give that to them then." Then Eunji looked at the manager and said, "We'll use the Queen's Palace instead."
The guests at the entrance including those who were dining in close to the entrance were even flabbergasted when they heard the mention of the Queen's Palace.
The Queen's Palace was a private room which was reserved only to the Queen of QPRC, Missus Bai Eunji herself.
Then, does that mean they had finally meet the true boss of this entire billion dollar resort?
What more? She looked so young and was even pregnant. Then they looked at Nathan and concluded that he should be the husband.
"Right away Mistress!" The manager then took his phone and told the staffs to move to the Queens Palace which was opposite to the Fox Palace.
The staffs had cleaned the room daily in case she would come and use the room.
The staff at the restaurant were so efficient despite the short notice and within three minutes, the manager lead Eunji and Nathan to the room leaving the shocked faces of the dinners in the room.
