A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 1040
As Shane looked puzzled and agitated, he exclaimed, “You’re the one who got in through connections. Don’t lump me in the
same group as you. An adorable guy like me got in based on pure merit, okay?”
Unbeknownst to them, Ms. Pennington happened to walk behind them and overheard their conversation, secretly surprised.
Could it be that even Frederick, the new employee, knows that Shane is the general manager’s relative?
No, this kind of information can’t spread in the office. Otherwise, everyone will find out!
With this in mind, Ms. Pennington quickly approached Frederick and stated, “Frederick, you failed your internship. Pack up your
things and leave the company now!”
You’re kidding me!
Frederick was shocked and could hardly believe what he was hearing.
He was assigned by Emmanuel to be a supervisor. How could he be fired in just two days?
What is happening?!
However, since Ms. Pennington said so, he could only leave the office and inquire about the situation from Emmanuel later.
Witnessing this scene, colleagues from the marketing department started discussing among themselves.
What they witnessed was Frederick being fired after hitting Shane!
It appears that Shane has a strong background.
Not only that, Ms. Pennington even extended her graceful hand to Shane with a gentle smile and said, “Shane, welcome to the
marketing department. I’m Ms. Pennington, the department head. If you encounter any difficulties at work, feel free to come to
me, and I will assist you in resolving them!”
This scene astonished the employees of the marketing department.
Everybody knew that Ms. Pennington was a cold beauty. She had never shown such care for her subordinates.
Shane was also pleasantly surprised and quickly reached out to shake Ms. Pennington’s smooth and tender hand.

The people in this company are treating me, a new employee, exceptionally well, aren’t they?
Hmm, it seems that I must be the talent the company has been longing for!
The new general manager of M&L Group was named Henry Houghton. He used to be a general manager at one of Eve’s
companies and was one of her trusted confidants.
A few days ago, Emmanuel and Eve discussed the matter of Patrick, resulting in Patrick’s termination.
To prevent such incidents from occurring again, Eve arranged for Henry to come and assist in managing Emmanuel’s company.
Just now, Henry received a call from Eve, who informed him about Patrick’s situation and notified him that Emmanuel had
assigned a supervisor to join the company, reminding him to behave appropriately.
While walking into the office, Henry was still wondering who it could be when he noticed a group of attractive individuals from the
marketing department surrounding Shane.

To prevent such incidents from occurring again, Eve arranged for Henry to come and assist in managing Emmanuel’s company.
Just now, Henry received a call from Eve, who informed him about Patrick’s situation and notified him that Emmanuel had
assigned a supervisor to join the company, reminding him to behave appropriately.
While walking into the office, Henry was still wondering who it could be when he noticed a group of attractive individuals from the
marketing department surrounding Shane.
“Hello, Mr. Houghton!”
A female employee spotted Henry and respectfully greeted him.
The employees from the marketing department quickly walked away from Shane and collectively exclaimed, “Hello, Mr.
Houghton!”
“Hello, everyone!”

Henry responded with a nod, and his gaze fell upon Shane.
Shane quickly stood up from his seat and smiled apologetically, too nervous to speak.
Oh my, isn’t he the man I accidentally bumped into when I attended the interview earlier?
So, he’s Mr. Houghton, the general manager of this company!
This is bad. The position I worked so hard to earn might be gone in an instant.
While Shane was nervously fidgeting, Henry patted his shoulder with a smile and asked, “You’re the new employee, right?”
“Mr. Houghton, yes... I am!”
Shane quickly apologized, “I’m sorry for bumping into you at the elevator earlier today!”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it. You’re being too formal. We’re all colleagues here!”
Henry replied with a friendly smile.
Upon hearing that Henry had arrived at the marketing department, Ms. Pennington promptly walked out of her office just in time
to witness this scene.
Seems like I was right. Shane is indeed related to Mr. Houghton. I’ll have to treat him well from now on!
The other employees, observing Henry getting close and conversing with Shane, didn’t dare to approach and quickly returned to
their workplaces.
Henry then quietly inquired, “Young man, do you know Emmanuel?”
Emmanuel was the company’s true boss, a secret known only by high-level executives like him. Even Ms. Pennington was
unaware.
To his surprise, Shane immediately looked astonished and said, “Mr. Houghton, how did you know? He’s my senior!”
Well, I’ll be d*mned! I knew it!
