The Queen's Back

Chapter 301

"That's right, Mona, Maxwell. You've already promised me a long time ago. You can't go back on your word." Albert used the serving fork to pick up a chicken wing for Mona and placed it of her plate. His eyes were filled with warning.

Mona and Maxwell looked at each other. Seeing him nod, she also nodded. "Okay, Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go with you." But she just wanted to accompany them on a trip, not to watch the design competition.

The matter was settled just like that. The dinner afterward was pecially harmonious. Mona could see very clearly that the wrinkles at the corners of Bernard's eyes were especially obvious when he smiled.

Jane and Bernard were happy, and so was she. She thought that would be good to accompany her family overseas. She felt that this trip would be even better if Barbara wasn't there.

However, Mona only thought about it. Bernard and Jane were going to Welintern for a holiday at such an old age. Their main goal was to watch Barbara's competition. This competition represented the country. If Barbara could win the award, the honor would belong to the Clem family, and they would be proud.

In the next two days, Mona handed over her work. Maxwell arranged the work for the next ten days. Bud looked at the work arrangements in his hands and his eyes looked at Maxwell. He felt desperate how much work there was.

He thought, 'Maxwell really treats me as his buddy. This is outrageous.

Maxwell could see the dissatisfaction in Bud's eyes. He also knew that what he was doing was not nice. He went on a trip and handed all his work to Bud. He touched his nose and said apologetically, "When I return, I'll let you take an annual leave."

Clem Group was currently in the expansion stage. Maxwell trusted Bud the most in the company. Only by handing the company to him would he be at ease.

Meeting Maxwell's trusting gaze, Bud patted his shoulder hard. "Alright, go home quickly. When you're not around, I'll take care of the company for you."

Anyway, there was no one pestering him now. Bud felt that it was good to work to pass the time.
