After the banquet, when Richelle Dunn returned to Lewis Group, the employees’ attitudes towards her were almost the same as before. However, the faces of the shareholders in the board meeting had all changed.

Previously, they had been quite polite to her, but that politeness seemed to stem from the respect of the old man or Roy Lewis.

Towards her, there was also a sense of distance hidden within their politeness.

But after that banquet, during the first board meeting, these directors seemed like completely different people.

“Mr. Dunn, this is a membership card for a club frequented by my wife. According to her, the services they offer are top-notch.”

Richelle admitted that since her birth, she had never been to any beauty care clubs or anything of the sort. Instead, she preferred to spend her free time sleeping in or spending time with her children.

“Mr. Kingston, I appreciate the thought, but I really can’t use this membership card. Besides going to work, I need to go home and take care of my children. As you know, my three children are quite naughty, and they need supervision.” Mr. Kingston was defeated.

Then it was Mr. Zadra’s turn, “Ms. Dunn, I heard you are quite knowledgeable in calligraphy and paintings. I’ve had this painting for a long time, but it has been collecting dust. It’s such a waste; Ms. Dunn, would you like…?”

Richelle smiled at him, interrupting his words.

“Mr. Zadra, since you’ve spent so much money on this painting, it must be a favorite of yours. I won’t take it from you.”

After that, she tactfully rejected the gifts and favors offered by all the other directors, one by one.

After the board meeting, Richelle returned to her office, closed the door, and asked Nathan Caroule.

“Were these directors the same with Roy Lewis in the past?”

Nathan thought for a moment, “When I first joined Lewis Group, Master Lewis had already established his prestige, so I haven’t witnessed this. But I guess it was probably the same during the early times.”

Richelle nodded, “Did you remember all the directors who just gave me gifts?”

Nathan nodded, “Yes, do you want me to investigate their recent financial activities or social connections?”

Richelle hmm’d, “Pay attention to it for now, don’t let me create any major trouble for Roy while he’s away.”

Richelle knew she was only filling in for Roy, but these directors basically saw her as the future leader of Lewis Group.

Giving gifts to her was like testing the waters.

Among them, there might be some who genuinely wanted to express goodwill, but it’s not impossible that some had ulterior motives.

Apart from the change in the directors’ attitudes, the number of social invitations also increased suddenly.

When she returned from the board meeting, her secretary presented her with nearly twenty invitations.

Some were for company anniversaries, while others were for cocktail parties hosted by successful people in the industry. Among these invitations, Richelle never attended them in the past. Today, without even looking at them, she handed them over to Nathan to handle.

Nathan took a quick glance and delegated people from different departments to attend the events based on the invitation categories and their importance.

“Dr. Dunn, this invitation, do you think you should go in person?”

Richelle looked at the iPad in his hand, “Alright, I’ll arrange this myself.”

It was a two-day seminar held by the Pharmaceutical Department.

Lewis Group currently had no relevant business, so this invitation was clearly targeted at Richelle.

“If you don’t want to deal with those people, I can go too. Although I don’t understand the professional aspects, I can handle the business.”

Seeing the little young masters’ start-up projects not going smoothly, Nathan was worried.

“No need, since it’s two days, you need to stay and watch over Lewis Group.”

Nathan was a bit unconvinced, “Do we really need to be so cautious now? I think that after the banquet, almost everyone believes the rumor.”

Richelle shook her head, “Not necessarily. It’s better for us to be cautious. There will be many follow-up tasks when I go to the seminar, and I’ll need your help.”

Nathan clicked his tongue, “Being an uncle isn’t that easy, huh? I need to contribute and do things for the kids.”

Richelle suddenly remembered something and teased him with a smile.

“By the way, I heard from Timmy that he and his siblings have discussed it. If you and Denise choose not to have children, they said they’ll take care of you two in the future.”

Nathan touched his nose and laughed, “Yeah, when Denise heard that, she said she wouldn’t have kids. After all, they can’t possibly have children as good as the little ones.”

Richelle laughed.

“As for me, no matter what decision you and Denise make, I support it. In the end, it’s nice for all of us to grow old together, we could have a mahjong table.” With that, they settled on the seminar arrangements.

Since the event was held out of town, Richelle mentioned it to Roy when she got home.

Roy nodded and said he knew. Then he added, “I’ll have Nathan arrange your security. This seminar seems to have designated accommodation, should I book a separate hotel for you?”

Richelle thought that Roy would complain a bit, but he seemed quite calm about it.

“Why don’t I take you with me?”

Roy glared at her, “Richelle Dunn, are you asking for a beating?”

Richelle snickered, “Right, if you have any opinions, just speak up. Don’t hold it in and make it seem like I’m bullying you..”
