Assistant Shawn filtered through the documents on the table based on the level of importance. He placed the most important documents on the right side of the table and the less important on the left.
Since the President planned to visit the Chairman along with his niece on the weekend, there were a lot of matters that would need his attention.
When he heard that the President would be visiting his parents who were living in the countryside, Assistant Shawn was relieved. He heard that Chairman Li and his wife were staying at a villa in a small town near the sea. He only hoped that President Mo would use this opportunity to get some rest.
Ever since the Vice President and his wife passed away in that accident, President Mo has been spending most of his time in the office, while looking after the young miss.
President Mo's daily routine would include picking up the young miss from the kindergarten and sending her back to his place with Nanny Ann looking after his niece. Then, returned to the office to deal with his never-ending works.
Although Assistant Shawn could see that there was a slight improvement in the uncle and niece's relationship, it was still worrying to see them both together. The two of them were not having any problem with the way they were living now, but sooner or later, once the young miss had grown up, it would be a problem for both of them.
Assistant Shawn paused from whatever he was doing when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took out his phone and frowned upon seeing the President's driver, Old Tang's name on the screen. Thinking that the old man had tried to reach him due to an urgent matter, Assistant Shawn slid his finger across the screen and pressed the phone to his ear. "Hello?"
"Assistant Shawn, sorry for bothering. Is the President with you?" Old Tang spoke immediately when the call was connected. "I tried to contact him, but he did not pick up."
"President Mo is having a meeting with the high-level managers. He must have turned his phone on silent mode. What's wrong? If it's urgent, I can reach the President for you."
Old Tang took a deep breath. "Assistant Shawn. There is a problem."
"What's the matter?" He listened to the driver's explanation and frowned at the urgency of the matter. "I got it. I will talk to the President soon. Not to worry. Old Tang, I will need to trouble you to check on Auntie Ann and help her with anything you can. Don't forget to update me when you had any news."
Shawn Ye stared at his phone as he thought over Old Tang's news. After a few seconds, he fiddled with his phone and made a few phone calls. Then, he stood up and headed towards the meeting room. He peered through the glass and saw that the meeting was not yet over.
Currently, President Mo sat on the big swiveling chair as he spoke something. Looking at the stern look on his face, Assistant Shawn was suddenly afraid that he would be disturbing him in an important meeting.
However, the matter regarding Young Miss Hazel was important too.
Should he knock on the door and tell the President the news now, or should he wait?
Just as he was hesitating the door swung open from the inside and few managers walked out with their files in their hands.
A sigh of relief escaped him at the thought that the meeting had ended. He walked inside and saw that a few managers were conversing with the President.
He eavesdropped to their conversation and decided to wait as they were talking about their latest project in the neighboring city.
When President Mo waved his hand to dismiss the manager, Assistant Shawn quickly stepped forward.
Neil Mo raised a brow when he saw someone stepped closer to him. His expression relaxed upon seeing his assistant. "Assistant Shawn, what's wrong?"
"I received news from Old Tang that Auntie Ann met with an accident just now." Assistant Shawn said.
A frown appeared on his face and his heart was beating loudly. It was not long ago that he received news that his brother and his wife were involved in an accident. Hearing that someone he knew was in an accident, Neil Mo became anxious. He was worried that he would hear another unpleasant news.
"What happened? How did Auntie Ann get into an accident?"
"She was crossing the road when a speeding car run through the red light and hit her."
His expression darkened at the news. "And the driver?"
"It was a hit and run. But I already talked to the police. They are searching for the driver. We should get an answer as soon as possible," Assistant Shawn said. "Auntie Ann was brought to People Hospital by ambulance. When Old Tang called me, the doctor was still checking on her. Therefore, we did not know anything about her injury. I have spoken to Old Tang to help with anything she needs in the hospital."
Neil Mo thought over the news for a moment before he spoke again. "I'm going to the hospital to check on Auntie Ann. If there's anything important, just give me a call."
"What about the young miss?"
Neil Mo looked at the time. He thought about fetching the girl and brought her to the hospital with him, but decided against it. Neil did not want the little girl to be upset by coming to the hospital. When her parents were hospitalized due to an accident, Hazel had accompanied them for a few days before her parents passed away.
The little girl was close to her nanny. If she heard the news and saw that her nanny was in the hospital due to an accident, it might trigger a bad memory.
It was until recently that his niece had started to smile a lot more and Neil did not want his niece to be unhappy once she heard about what had happened to her nanny.
"Call the kindergarten and inform them that I might be late to pick up Hazel today," Neil Mo instructed. "I will visit Auntie Ann at the hospital first and come back to fetch her. Inform the school of what happened, but don't let them tell Hazel about the accident."
Assistant Shawn nodded. "Understood."
