Chapter 2200
“I’m already back, but I have something to take care of in the office. It’s urgent, so I’m not going home tonight. I’ll
be back tomorrow. You should rest carly. Don’t exhaust yourself!” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“Oh, okay. By the way, do you want to make a video call so I can show you Tina?” said Lina. Since Tina was born,
Hadwin Stephenson would make video calls to see their daughter whenever he took a break from work in the office.
Lina could foresee that her husband would probably dote on their daughter very much in the future.

work to do right now, so I’m going to hang up.” With that said, he ended the call.

Lady.

I’m going out.”
“Okay, Young Madam,” the maids answered quickly.

When they arrived at the building of Stephenson Group in Emerald City, Lina rushed in. The security guard on duty
hurriedly walked over at the sight of Lina. “Young Madam,
Hello.”
“Is the president here?” asked Lina.
“Yes,” the security guard responded as he went to the elevator with Lina and helped her press the elevator button.
Lina entered the elevator. It was already evening. Besides some employees working overtime and those who were
still on duty, there were not many people. When she arrived at the floor where Hadwin Stephenson’s office was,
only one secretary was still on duty.
“Is the president in his office?” asked Lina.
“Yes,” the secretary said. However, when she saw Lina heading toward the president’s office, she quickly said, “But

updateturned on the lights.
The room lit up instantly. Then, there was an angry shout. “Get out! I told you, no one can enter without my
permission!”
Lina looked up and saw that Hadwin Stephenson was sitting on the couch instead of at his desk. He had his head
down and seemed to be filled with dejection.
“What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood?” asked Lina.
