Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 263: Acquisition

"Young Master, you should take a break." Butler Liu sighed deeply, "At this rate, your health won’t hold up."

"This case is almost done." Julian Sinclair replied faintly, making it clear that it’s a crucial moment, with no time to rest.

Butler Liu’s eyes were filled with worry, persistently advising, "The case can be worked on slowly. If your health breaks down, it would be a costly loss."

"I know my limits." Julian Sinclair frowned slightly, signaling Butler Liu to leave.

He wanted to say more, but Julian Sinclair’s attitude was firm, so he had to give up.

It turns out Julian Sinclair was working night and day just to acquire the large entertainment company HM, which happened to be the agency where Moira Young’s career was based.

After more than half a month of relentless effort and numerous strategies, he finally secured HM and renamed it AE.

Several days later, Moira Young finally emerged from Mimi’s home and returned to the company.

Only upon her return did she realize the company had changed dramatically.

Walking past the lobby, she kept hearing news about the company being acquired, becoming increasingly puzzled.

HM wasn’t a small company; it was a renowned enterprise in the country. She hadn’t been gone long, and suddenly it’s acquired?

In the current domestic scene, how many companies have such capability?

Just as she was filled with confusion, a few colleagues quietly approached her.

Each one whispered to her, "Moira, I heard your uncle works at The Sinclair Group? Is it true that Sinclair Group acquired our company?"

"Sinclair Group?" Moira Young suddenly understood. Indeed, who else but Julian Sinclair could pull off something like this?

"Yeah, there’s talk outside that President Sinclair acquired our company. Doesn’t your uncle work there? How come you didn’t know?" someone expressed surprise.

Moira Young shook her head, "I’m not really concerned with their matters, so I haven’t asked."

Her calm reaction led others to believe she wasn’t lying, and they immediately lost interest in gossiping, dispersing on their own.

However, the news left Moira Young with countless questions inside.

What was Julian Sinclair trying to do with such a significant move?

Unable to figure it out, she instinctively walked to her office.

Her manager, Lee, excitedly approached with concern, "Moira, where have you been these days? You didn’t say anything at all?"

"Feeling down, stayed at a friend’s house for a couple of days." Moira Young softly explained, tugging at her lips.

"It’s good to unwind, as long as you’re alright." Lee smiled with a raised brow, "By the way, a new artist has joined the company, would you like to meet them?"

A new artist? Moira Young showed no interest.

HM was a leading entertainment company, with artists and trainees joining daily, but she never showed interest in them, new or old.

Lee understood Moira Young’s personality, knowing she wouldn’t meet them, so he explained, "They said they were an old acquaintance of yours, are you sure you don’t want to meet them?"

"What old acquaintance in the business would I have?" Moira Young laughed, thinking the lie was rather unreliable.

"Meet first, then see if you remember."

Ultimately, under Lee’s strong insistence, Moira Young agreed to meet the so-called old acquaintance.

Only when she saw Fiona Rhodes’s proud face in the lounge did she understand that the artist Lee was referring to as an old acquaintance was Fiona Rhodes.

The moment Fiona Rhodes saw Moira Young, a flash of endless resentment passed through her eyes, yet she quickly returned to her usual graceful demeanor.

Her insincere smile made Moira Young feel nauseous, and without even greeting her, she turned and left.

Lee sensed the tense atmosphere, didn’t question further, but he had been in the industry long enough to see that these two probably had a grudge.

Fiona Rhodes was in no hurry; sharing the same roof, she had plenty of opportunities to deal with Moira Young and wasn’t worried about rushing.

Moira Young didn’t stay at the company for long after returning.

Knowing she didn’t have a place to stay, Lee quickly arranged for her to have an apartment, though it was only two hundred square meters, it was plenty for her alone.

His efficiency was high; by afternoon, Moira Young had moved into the new apartment.

Assistant Joe also packed up and moved over when he heard Moira Young was back, ready to take care of her daily needs.

Moira Young didn’t refuse. Her self-care abilities were poor, so having someone to help out was ideal.

By the time Joe tidied up everything, it was already seven in the evening.

He asked from afar to Moira Young lying by the bay window, "Moira, should we go out to eat or cook?"

Moira Young set down her book, pondered for a long time, and slowly replied, "I can’t cook."

"I know Moira, you can’t cook, but I can. If you don’t mind, would you like to try my cooking?" Joe was quite confident in his culinary skills.

"I graciously accept then." Moira Young slightly raised her rosy lips, not refusing.

Receiving approval, Joe was thrilled and quickly went to the nearby supermarket to gather ingredients and started cooking after coming home.

His speed was quick; in less than an hour, he filled the table with food.

While it couldn’t compare to the extravagant cuisine Moira had previously enjoyed, these home-cooked dishes pleased her greatly.

Seeing her eat happily, Joe’s heart eased, then he shyly glanced at Moira Young, hesitating to speak.

Moira Young gracefully ate a green vegetable and set down her chopsticks, speaking gently, "If there’s something you want to say, just say it."

"Moira, I’m sorry." With that, Joe suddenly stood up and performed a standard ninety-degree bow to Moira Young.

"Why are you apologizing?" Moira Young wiped her mouth, looking at him puzzled.

Joe pursed his lips, finally speaking after a long pause, "Moira, it was wrong of me not to be there for you when you were sick, causing you to be hospitalized. It’s all my fault."

"It was just a minor illness; you don’t need to dwell on it." Moira Young was indifferent, signaling Joe not to take it to heart.

But Joe wouldn’t listen, apologizing incessantly, "I’m really sorry. I had some family matters at the time, so I left without informing you. I..."

Moira Young was helplessly patient, reiterating, "It really was just a minor illness; you shouldn’t blame yourself."

Despite her reassurance, Joe explained thoroughly.

It turns out the day Moira Young attended a gathering, Joe received a call from home saying his grandmother was gravely ill and might not make it. Worried, he hurried back to his hometown without notifying Moira Young.

On the way, he accidentally fell and broke his phone, only able to get back in touch after returning home.

Since it wasn’t a major issue and notably showing Joe’s devotion, Moira Young forgave him without a second thought.
