The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1088

Zachary certainly had to learn from Wendy in that respect.

Meanwhile, as Lulu gently put Luna in the cradle, she was left staring atthe baby lovingly, and Lulu would have planted a kiss on Luna's littleforehead if not for the cameras!

After tucking her in, she tiptoed out of the room and was left staring atthe mess in the living room again.

Aside from the things she used to prepare the formula just now,everything else was Zachary's fault!

"Beer? Really?" Lulu shook her head as she brought a garbage bagand started cleaning up.

She would really rather not have Erma return since she was basicallyabusing her baby, and no mother wants to see that.

However, she suddenly found herself a little shallow, since Erma didnothing wrong, and she could be prejudiced against Erma becauseLuna got sick.

Nonetheless, she cleaned up the whole house herself and sorted outeverything.

Luna's necessities were returned to the sterile cupboard, while herclothes were washed and dried.

She made sure to clean Luna's room as well, just a breeze blew inthrough the window.

The sunlight that spilled in was pleasant and refreshing.

When Lulu was done cleaning, she washed her hands and returned toLuna without a pause, putting her hand on her little forehead.

Luna was not burning up and was sleeping soundly, probably becauseshe did not sleep well last night.

As Lulu sat down silently to rest, she felt a sense of bliss even as shelooked at Luna.

Her baby was certainly the source of her joy.

By 7 AM, Zachary's employees were arriving at their posts.

Seeing that the lights were switched on in his office, they could not helpcomplaining.

"Don't you think Mr. Slate is coming in too early these days? He's killingus!"

"Cut it out. We're competing against a rival for a major contract at themoment—if we get it, it's a big fat year-end bonus for us!"

"Wait, don't we have a meeting? Why aren't we starting?"

"What are we waiting for?"

“Isn't it usually 7 AM? Maybe Mr. Slate is sick?"

Zachary had been holding meetings every morning at 7 AM sharp for awhile, but he had yet to call up everyone...

Just then, her temporary assistant Vivian arrived at his office and gentlyknocked on his door.

She was actually transferred from another department. Zachary neverhad an assistant before, but there were other miscellaneous mattersthat needed his attention after he returned to the country.

"Come in," Zachary said.

Vivian entered and asked, "Mr. Slate...? It's past seven and everyone'shere. Aren't we going to have that routine meeting?"

Zachary did not answer as his eyes were glued on the monitor.

Vivian frowned and looked at the monitor too, knowing that it was linkedto the cameras in his house.

She used to see the maid named Erma, whose hair was graying andwho was clearly middle-aged, working on the screen.

However, Erma was gone, and there was a different woman on themonitor now!

Still, Vivian subtly turned back toward Zachary, reminded him softly,"Everyone's ready outside, Mr. Slate—"

He nodded before she could finish. "Send word that the meeting's inten minutes.”
