146 Early Fantasy (1/2)

A week later, both Chamberlain and Lena returned to State B, their new home. She was also going to work at the company for the time being.

Since it was just a cover for the main business the Stans were running in State B, they decided to acquire a few companies then merge them.

A little more money wouldn't hurt.

Just like he said, when he returned, he assigned a team to Carl and an office with more privacy for his team.

The transition from a small firm to a Public Company went smoothly. For a whole month, the employees were tasked and forced to work overtime. The whole process from acquisition, merging and going public was carried out within one month.

They were pressed for time and Carl was not sure what they were up to and why they had to rush the process.

The employees were reshuffled. Some sacked to make way for more capable people while others were retained.

Carl was appointed as the C.F.O of the company, a position he did not want. Still he was thankful for the team given to him, the more capable people he had, the faster he would be done with his job.

How he missed his leisure days with Kim!

Chamberlain remained the C.E.O of the company and Lena the C.O.O.

Within that one month, Carl was too busy with work he hardly had time for Kim so she returned to the campus. Still he made time to call her as much as she could.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

On a rainy Friday evening, Carl was lazing around the house when the door opened. To his surprise, Kim was back… along with a friend.

He rushed towards her, taking away her bag. ”You didn't tell me you were coming.”

Seeing her wet, he grew worried, ”You were under the rain? What if you catch a cold. Why didn't you call? I would have picked you up.”

Isabella was also standing by the door but she was totally ignored by Carl. She understood because her brother would do the same thing.

Still, she felt awkward.

Kim tapped his shoulder in a comforting way, ”Don't be a worrywart, it's just a little rain. And we were dropped off, just that there was no umbrella so we ran from the car to the door. Besides, I didn't think you'd be home this early.”

Then she turned to Isabella, ”Let's go in, don't mind him.”

Isabella looked at Carl with eager eyes, ”Hi… we meet again.”

Carl nodded politely.

After shutting the door, he carried Kim's bag and left Isabella to her device.

”You should go take a warm bath, I'll heat up dinner.”

Obviously he was talking to just Kim, acting like he couldn't see Isabella.

Bella did not mind. What mattered was that she was close to her crush.
