My Bossy CEO Husband

Wendy was left speechless.Her comment had been casual and offhanded; she hadn't expected Ryan to take it seriously! After a brief moment of awkward silence, she gritted her teeth and typed, "And how do you want me to thank you, exactly?"

"Let's have dinner together tonight."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have a prior engagement for tonight."

It was Ryan who paused this time.

"Who are you going to meet?" he replied after a we "It's a secret!"

She sent the message and immediately turned off her phone.

In that same moment, Ryan was sitting in the conference room, at the headquarters of Oliver Group.

Ryan leaned back against the president's seat, his face clouded.He was gripping his phone tightly with one hand.

"Sir?"

Coming back to his senses, he turned to the executives flanking him on either side of the conference table.

"Go on!" he barked before putting his phone away.

The executives exchanged nervous glances and eyed Ryan with confusion.

‘He was just on his phone for a short while.

How come he's very irritable all of a sudden?’ Despite their curiosity, they swallowed the lump in their throats and mustered the courage to soldier through the rest of the meeting.

They did, however, proceed with their reports with more caution than necessary.

"You call this a report? Redo everything!" Ryan roared.

Then, before anyone else could speak a word, he added, "Is this even a coherent plan? Redo it! And this one, too! Redo them all!"

At the end of the meeting, the executives were just a few seconds away from bursting into tears.Ryan had never been one to vent his anger at will.

Instead, he would usually just sit in cold silence and stare people down.

Even then, the other party would always find themselves trembling with fear.

But now, it seemed like he was finally giving in to his emotional impulses.

The senior executives were frightened out of their wits.

"I want the revised plans on my desk before I leave for the day!"

Ryan announced without mercy.

His subordinates closed their eyes and tightened their lips to keep from screaming their frustrations.

Deep inside, however, they were all wailing and complaining.
