Richelie became cautious and even less likely to let Timothy and Tiffany stay at his house.
“They won’t trouble Mr. Lewis anymore. If it’s convenient for you, please send two people to guard nearby, and I’ll ask Mrs. Walker to minimize going out,” said Richelle.
After all, nowadays everything can be delivered. Mrs. Walker could even stay inside all the time.
“That’s not necessary. I’ll send two more people to protect them.”
Richelle didn’t dare to take such a risk. Adults at least have some fighting ability in the face of danger.
Even though her children were very clever, they were still children who could only submit in case something went wrong.
However, there was no need for her to mention this to Roy Lewis.
After all, they were both innocent victims of the Thompsons’ dispute.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Mr. Lewis. As for Timmy, do 1 need to explain this to him?”
“No need, I’ll talk to him.”
Richelle also had Timmy’s phone number, and she would definitely comfort him privately in her own way.
Otherwise, with his temper, he might get the wrong idea and sulk alone.
After hanging up the phone, Richelle accepted Nathan Caroule’s friendship request.
As soon as she accepted his request, Nathan immediately sent her a message.
Nathan Caroule: “Hi, Dr. Dunn, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Richelle replied him formally, “Hello, Assistant Nathan.”
Nathan: “Hehe, I’ve long heard of Dr. Dunn’s heroic deeds. I’m really looking forward to finally meeting you in person tomorrow!”
Richelle was quite surprised. Could this outgoing and outspoken man really be the assistant of the serious and old-fashioned Roy Lewis?
“Assistant Nathan, are you really Mr. Lewis’s assistant?”
Nathan: “Dr. Dunn, are you praising me? You must be! Only 1 can stand such a serious old-fashioned man like Master Lewis! Ordinary people can’t stand him.”
Richelle thought to herself, if Master Lewis can tolerate you and not fire you, it means his tolerance is not bad either!
However, this also indirectly revealed a problem.
That is, Nathan Caroule must have a great ability. Otherwise, a man like Roy Lewis would never tolerate a noisy and useless man constantly chattering by his side!
The next day, Richelle finally met Nathan Caroule at the Lewis.
Nathan was wearing glasses, looking quite gentle and refined, a scholarly man completely different from the impression she got of him on WhatsApp.
As soon as Nathan saw Richelle, he showed a bright smile and extended his hand.
“Dr. Dunn, I finally get to meet you. 1 never expected you to be much more beautiful than 1 thought!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, his image caught up with the outgoing Nathan she met on WhatsApp.
“Thank you!”, Richelle shook hands with him, “I’ll have to trouble Assistant Nathan for the next few days.”
Nathan laughed and pointed to Roy Lewis, who was sitting on the sofa and watching the news. “Dr. Dunn, don’t feel troubled. I’m getting a salary from Master Lewis. I have to do the work after getting the money. It’s a social instinct, right, Master Lewis?”
Roy Lewis glanced at him, “So much nonsense. You don’t want your bonus for the next half of the year?”
Nathan laughed and clasped his hands to beg for mercy, “Master, no! I have to save some money for food.”
Richelle curiously watched the two of them, while the little prince walked over and held her hand, also curiously turning his head to look at Nathan.
“Uncle Nathan, what did you do to offend my daddy this time?”
Richelle knew from her elder son’s words that this bonus-cutting scene had happened more than once.
Nathan touched his nose and sighed, “All, it was just lunch yesterday.”
Roy Lewis stared at him, “Do you disagree?”
Nathan quickly raised his hand, “I agree! 1 absolutely agree! Master, I’m really incompetent. It’s my fault that you deducted my bonus for half a year.”
Roy Lewis lowered his eyes, “Alright then!”
The little prince looked at Nathan sympathetically, “Uncle Nathan, if you don’t have money for food, 1 can lend you some.”
Nathan took the little prince’s sympathy as genuine concern, not knowing that it was just the little prince’s guilty conscience.
After chatting for a while, Uncle Axel called everyone to breakfast, and Roy Lewis got up with the little prince.
Taking advantage of this moment, Nathan quickly took out the spokesperson contract for Richelle to look at.
Richelle quickly skimmed through the content.
She thought it would just be a standard contract.
But after reading it, she realized it was a contract specifically written for her. The requirements she mentioned yesterday were clearly written on it. It was even noted that if there were any breaches by the Lewis Group during the shooting, Richelle could drop out of the project without having to return any fees. Furthermore, if it was the Lewis Group’s fault, she could ask for further compensation.
Richelle had never seen such an advantageous contract for the other party before.
“Assistant Nathan, does the Lewis Group always treat the other party so humanely?”
Nathan Caroule coughed and spoke honestly.
“If this continues, Lewis Group will probably not be far from closing down. Dr. Dunn, do you think so too?”
Richelle Dunn laughed. To be honest, she quite liked Nathan’s personality.
“All, Dr. Dunn, please judge for me!” His face was full of resentment as he pointed at the contract. “Despite this, Master Lewis is still afraid that you won’t agree!”
Richelle laughed even more. Fortunately, she was just Roy Lewis’s doctor. If she were his girlfriend or something, the old officials of the Lewis Group might scold her as a “demon queen leading the lord astray!”
Richelle didn’t want to force things on others. If she signed this contract, the people in the advertising department might end up taking the blame.
“Actually, I don’t want to sign it.”
Although she had agreed with Roy Lewis yesterday, she didn’t know then that The Thompsons were still causing trouble. Now that she knew, she was a bit hesitant.
Besides, looking at this contract, it seemed that she got this endorsement not on her own merit but simply because Roy Lewis insisted on giving it to her.
Nathan Caroule originally vented to Richelle as if she was one of their own. When she changed her mind, he immediately lied.
“Ah, look at my big mouth! Dr. Dunn, don’t do that. Although we in the advertising department had some disagreements when Master Lewis set these terms, after meeting you in person, 1 understand that it’s worth it for not only US$ 273,362 but even if you double the amount!”
Nathan Caroule’s attitude was very sincere, with no trace of lying.
Richelle hesitated for a moment and proposed a compromise.
“How about this: I’ll take half the fee first, and after your ads are aired, we’ll decide whether to give the remaining half based on the revenue!”
Since Richelle agreed to Roy Lewis, it’s not good to break her promise. But she also didn’t want to damage his fair and unbiased image because of her.
Nathan hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’ll consult Master Lewis.”
Richelle nodded, and Nathan went to the dining room with the contract.
Upon hearing Nathan convey Richelie’s opinions, Roy Lewis glanced thoughtfully toward the living room.
Nathan was very good at judging people, “Sir, Dr. Dunn is a very righteous person!”
Roy Lewis let out a questioning “hmm?” and signaled for Nathan to be more explicit.
“I think she doesn’t want you to be embarrassed for her sake.”
Roy Lewis raised an eyebrow, “In Lewis Group, who can make me feel embarrassed? Why didn’t 1 know?”
Nathan’s face was full of mocking laughter, “That’s right, who dares to defy Master Lewis’s orders in Lewis Group? But Dr. Dunn seems reluctant to let you break company rules for her.”
The implication was that Richelle’s suggestion was made entirely for the sake of Roy Lewis’s position and image.
Roy Lewis stared at him unexpectedly, “You didn’t mention that 1 was the one who added the extra million dollars?”
Nathan shook his head, “How could 1 say that?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “As long as you didn’t say it. Since she will only sign if we follow her suggestion, let’s amend the contract as she said and sign.”
Nathan responded, turned around, and went back out.
Prince, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, asked his dad after Nathan left.
“Daddy, are you giving Dr. Dunn money to spend?”
Roy Lewis patted his head, “Nonsense! That’s Dr. Dunn’s legitimate income for her work. How did it become me giving her money to spend?”
Prince pouted, “Come on, I’m not deaf. I heard what Uncle Nathan said! You added an extra million dollars, didn’t you? Why don’t you just admit it?”
Prince complained but was actually thrilled. Was his dad finally becoming sensible?
Roy Lewis was both amused and annoyed. “Didn’t you hear your Uncle Nathan say that Dr. Dunn refused?”
Prince shrugged, “I heard it. That’s because Dr. Dunn is noble and upright. But it doesn’t negate your intention to give her money!”
Roy Lewis found that since his son started playing with Timothy and Tifanny, his son’s mouth had become sweeter as well as more poisonous.
But he couldn’t help but find this version of his son much more adorable than before.
“Alright, don’t mention this to Dr. Dunn.”
Prince rolled his eyes and scoffed.
“Do you think I’m as stupid as you?”
Roy Lewis, who was severely despised by his son, couldn’t help but pinch his son’s cheeks.
“Alright, you’re the smartest!”
Prince giggled, “Of course! I’m like mommy, the smartest!”
Hearing him mention his ‘mommy’ with such pride, Roy Lewis couldn’t help but frown.
Had that woman Kiara called his son privately?
Had his son been won over by her?
But why did he feel as if his son’s “mommy” wasn’t referring to Kiara?
