Chapter 1441 I Can Feel It In My Bones

Iris immediately felt curious about what kind of melodies her mentor had. She wanted to listen to them, but her maternal heart cried for her to check on her babies as soon as possible. She couldn't just ignore it.

Ever since she gave birth, she couldn't rest easy without ensuring that her babies were safe and sound every hour or so.

Sighing, she could only tell her mentor, "Please stay here for dinner tonight."

Her tone was filled with regret.

Enrique Valdez gave her a thumbs-up before putting on a pair of headphones. He was soon absorbed in his own little world of music.

Iris didn't disturb him any longer. She headed straight to the nursery to find her twin sons. They were taking a nap. She kissed their soft and chubby cheeks, making sure not to wake them up. Then she snapped a few photos and sent them to her husband.

Jin Liwei immediately called her. The husband and wife quietly chatted for a few minutes before Jin Liwei needed to hang up for an important meeting.

She spoke with the nannies before going to her home office.

Dom was already at the mezzanine busily working on miscellaneous stuff for her approval.

"Hi, boss! This pile needs your verification while this pile here needs your signature."

"Thanks, Dom." She smiled at him and sat down behind her desk. "You're a lifesaver."

"Hm?" He paused and examined her face.

She raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"I should be the one asking you what's wrong," Dom said. "Something bothering you?"

She pursed her lips. "I can't hide anything from you."

"Hehe, of course. I can feel it in my bones whenever you're not feeling well." He put down the doc.u.ment he was working on. "So, boss, tell me what's bothering you."

She tilted her head and seriously thought about it before shaking it no. "I'm not sure. I just feel anxious, but I don't know exactly why."

"Maybe you're still affected by Little Junjun's hospitalization," Dom suggested. "Even I couldn't sleep properly since our little guy got sick."

"Yes, maybe that's why. Ying Yue says that Little Jun is getting better every day, so we shouldn't worry too much anymore. Even our in-house doctor told us that our boy's latest lab test results were positive. But I don't know, I still feel anxious whenever I'm not working on something."

Dom tapped his chin with his perfectly manicured fingers. "Are you worried about your upcoming presentation at Long Industries?"

She shook her head. "No, not at all. You know me, Dom. I'm confident about my marketing proposal. Liwei also checked it already, so I'm not too worried about it. I'm even tempted to build a s.h.i.+pping company just to use my proposal. It'll be Long Industries' loss if they reject my marketing proposal."

Dom continued tapping his chin. "Maybe it's your hormones? Didn't the doctor say that it will take a while for your hormones to return to normal pre-pregnancy levels after giving birth?"

"Maybe." She took a deep breath and sighed before grabbing the doc.u.ment pile that needed her approval. "No use worrying about something that even I'm not sure of. Let's get back to work."

The two got busy working. They were only interrupted when Dom answered a call from Lin Dong, Jin Chonglin's manager and the current Chief of Talent Management of LXC Studio, asking for Iris' input about the contracts of Ren Jiyu and the other members of the national shooting team who wanted to sign with their entertainment company.

They were already at the final stages of ironing out the details of the individual contracts. Iris spoke with Lin Dong for about ten minutes before agreeing to the specific contract clauses.

"I think my brother-in-law is avoiding me," Iris commented after the phone call.

She had asked Lin Dong to speak to Jin Chonglin but the manager smoothly deflected her request.

Dom snickered. "Prince Lin Lin just doesn't want to be interrogated. Even Sis Fei has been quiet, too quiet, that's it's so uncharacteristic of her. Hmph! Once I get a hold of that cunning woman, I'll pry all the details out of her poisonous mouth with a pair of pliers if I have to! Just watch me, boss! I'll really do it!"

Iris chuckled before shaking her head. "Just leave the two alone. They'll figure out what their actual relations.h.i.+p is sooner or later. Once they're ready, they'll share whatever they have with us."

Dom tossed his non-existent long hair with att.i.tude. "Mark my words, boss! They already slept together, so Sis Fei can't deny it anymore. She'll definitely eat her words soon about never falling in love with a womanizer like Prince Lin Lin. I can feel it my s.e.xy bones!"

Iris laughed. "If you say so. Now I need your s.e.xy bones to help me finish sorting all these doc.u.ments today. I don't have time tomorrow."

"Okie dokie, boss! Leave it to the s.e.xy and gorgeous yours truly!"

When Dom glanced at the busy Iris who had a slight upward curl at the corners of her mouth, he released a sigh of relief. Good thing that he was able to make her laugh and forget about her inexplicable anxiety even for just a few moments.

With a sense of accomplishment, he followed his boss and dove right back into the pile of work waiting for them to finish today.

###

Long Industries.

Iris exited the conference room with confidence.

Long Tengfei and the other chief executives of the company were in a group ahead of her.

Initially, Iris thought that she would only be presenting her proposal to her direct superior, the CMO, and their marketing team for approval. She didn't expect that the CMO would arrange for her to present directly to the chief executives of the company.

If it were any other person, they would have already a.s.sumed that the CMO was trying to sabotage them. Iris, however, thought otherwise.

Just based on what she had observed about the CMO's personality and workstyle, he was the type of boss who pushed his subordinates to the limits for them to reach their true potential.
