Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Ruth Wilcox’s Request

Herman Holloway didn’t like Yusuf Zuck, and Yusuf Zuck didn’t like Herman Holloway either, for he could see the disdain in Herman Holloway’s eyes, a symptom of someone who is a social climber.

While eating, they exchanged a few obligatory laughs. Herman Holloway and the female college student ate very little, so they finished early. Since Yusuf Zuck had offered to pay, the two left after saying goodbye.

Herman Holloway didn’t bother with politeness toward Yusuf Zuck. Yusuf Zuck liked to show off, so Herman gladly stepped on him.

They drove off in their BMW, and Yusuf Zuck shook his head and chuckled. Herman Holloway was no good either, probably having troubled that female college student all night.

Because that female college student’s neck was covered in red and purple marks from his kisses.

After eating breakfast and paying the bill, it was about time. Yusuf Zuck directly drove to the New Century.

At six forty-five in the morning, he arrived at the New Century lobby, then sat down quietly to wait.

Moreover, he felt a strange nervousness. Honestly, the remarkable fate that had brought Ruth Wilcox and him together over a bowl of spicy hotpot was extraordinary. Although they hadn’t spent much time together, in that brief period, they had established a kind of... a kind of indescribable bond.

That kind of bond, in his heart, even transcended love.

At six fifty-eight in the morning, as he was sitting on a sofa in the lobby smoking, the elevator downstairs suddenly sounded a ’ding,’ and the doors opened. Right after, Ruth Wilcox, dressed in a professional suit, stepped out of the elevator.

Her hands empty, she stepped out of the elevator and looked at Yusuf Zuck with a beaming smile.

"Ruth!" Yusuf Zuck stood up, and they looked at each other from afar.

"Yusuf Zuck." She walked towards him, and so did Yusuf Zuck.

Reaching the center of the lobby, they finally stood face to face.

"Yusuf Zuck, I missed you..." Her eyes reddened slightly, she opened her arms, and hugged Yusuf Zuck, tears rolling down in an instant.

Yusuf Zuck embraced her tightly, whispering, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"I haven’t been eating much, so I got thin, Yusuf Zuck, let me have a good look at you." She let go of Yusuf Zuck and took a step back, eyeing him from head to toe.

"I feel like you’ve grown taller." Ruth Wilcox looked at him, teasing, "But you also look more mature, an old soul in a young body!"

"Everyone says that, but I’m only eighteen years old," Yusuf Zuck said jokingly.

"Here comes someone’s nonsense again, right?" Ruth Wilcox couldn’t help but laugh, always so happy with Yusuf Zuck, who could always make her laugh!

"Hehe, but you’ve gotten so thin that even your chest has shrunk..." Yusuf Zuck said with a chuckle.

"You..." Ruth Wilcox, annoyed, raised her fist, "Don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll dock your pay."

"Hahaha." Hearing Ruth Wilcox’s response, Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, and Ruth Wilcox also covered her mouth, laughing along.

"By the way, what are you doing here? And why are you wearing this professional outfit?" Yusuf Zuck frowned, "I called Mia yesterday, and she said that you came back yesterday afternoon. What’s going on?"

"What’s going on? Follow me, I need to talk to you." Ruth Wilcox flashed a mysterious smile, turned around, and took Yusuf Zuck’s hand, walking into the elevator.

"You booked a room here? Why aren’t you going home?" Yusuf Zuck asked, puzzled.

"We’ll be there in a moment, don’t be impatient." Ruth Wilcox shook her head.

Soon, the elevator reached the sixteenth floor. However, rather than a guest room area, it was an office area with many doors labeled as the Finance Department, Director’s Office, Manager’s Office, and the like.

"I’m now the Deputy General Manager of New Century. The reason I went to Hong Kong was also for an interview. After I arrived, I took over the work directly. Today, I called you here because I have a favor to ask of you!"

"Ah... You’re the Deputy General Manager of New Century now?" Yusuf Zuck was dumbfounded. New Century was his now!!!

"What? If I have a favor to ask you, wouldn’t you agree?" As they spoke, Ruth Wilcox led him into the Deputy General Manager’s office.

The office wasn’t big at all, it even lacked a private bathroom, but it had a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf.

This office couldn’t compare at all to the one she used to have in Fengdu.

"I’ve given up all the shares of the clan, so I came back. I plan to start from scratch. This job is great, the income is decent, and it will eventually stabilize."

"Mia told me about what happened in your family." Yusuf Zuck solemnly nodded.

"I knew she couldn’t keep a secret; she must have told you. But it’s okay, it’s good you know. Yusuf Zuck, do you know what? During this time, I’ve suddenly seen through the hearts of people. I felt like the whole world betrayed me, but luckily I had you, I met you. Whenever I was unhappy, I’d think of you, and thinking of you made my mood a little better, gave me something to look forward to." As she spoke, she hugged Yusuf Zuck tightly and whispered softly, "I’ve fallen in love with you, hopelessly!"

"Actually, it’s good you’re back, you don’t need to work, I can support you." Yusuf Zuck gently patted her, imagining the torment she must have felt across the ocean in the past months.

Even her grandfather, who loved her most in the family, wanted to marry her off to someone she didn’t like, and in the end, her inheritance rights were taken away. One could imagine how hurt, how bitter her heart must have felt.

Yusuf Zuck knew she was strong and stubborn, but in reality, which girl isn’t fragile?

She was fragile too, she just had to be strong and stubborn because she lost her parents and had to shoulder everything herself, with no one to help her, no one who knew the stages of sorrow in her heart.

Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck wanted to melt her into his bones, to protect her, not letting her get hurt again.

"Women need to be independent. I heard from Mia that you might have made some money, but a life without independence is not perfect. I don’t want to be a housewife. Or, to put it another way, I want our future to be better, to struggle together, to share life’s hardships. Only then can we have a perfect home and cherish each other more!"

"Yusuf Zuck, I have a small request." She hugged him and said, "I want you to be my driver, just for three months. I really miss you and don’t want to leave you for a moment. Besides, I’ve just arrived at this company; I need an assistant!"

"Of course, I know it’s selfish of me and might interfere with many of your things, but I really really really want to be with you. So, just three months, okay? Let me see you every day, let me have a shoulder to lean on when I’m tired!"

"Don’t mention three months, I could do it for a lifetime." Yusuf Zuck said tenderly, "This isn’t a request, it’s a command from you, and I can only obey because you will always be my Ms. Wilcox!"

"Thank you, I knew you wouldn’t refuse. I know what kind of person you are. Well, I feel much better now. Let me touch up my makeup, and then I’ll take you to meet Mr. Holloway here. I’ve already mentioned to him about hiring a personal driver, and he’s agreed. Once notified, finance and human resources will make it official!"

"Oh, Herman Holloway? I know him. You touch up your makeup, and then we’ll go together!" Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly. He had just had breakfast with Herman Holloway that morning, not expecting that within an hour, he would become a small driver for Herman Holloway’s company.
