Ch. 4876: Married At First Sight Chapter 4876

Chapter 4876

When Leonidas heard River was back, he immediately grabbed a thick stack of folders and went straight to his office.

River had barely sat down and hadn’t even turned on his computer when the door swung open.

He looked up and frowned. “Leonidas, ever heard of knocking?”

“I did knock!” Leonidas insisted. Then, just to prove it, he stepped back and knocked again.

River didn’t respond.

That’s when Leonidas realized he’d been played.

Annoyed, he reached for the handle to open the door—only to find it locked.

“River, my good brother,” Leonidas called out, half whining, half pleading, “open up and help me out! My head’s spinning from reading all these documents. Can you at least take half?

“You came in late today, and I had to attend the morning meeting. It’s not fair for me to handle everything alone!

“My dear brother, open the door! Please!”

River’s calm voice came through from the other side. “Leonidas, they’re just documents. All you have to do is sign them. What’s so difficult about that?

“I’ve got my own pile waiting here. Do your job and let me do mine. If you keep shouting at my door, I might just bring my stack over to your office and dump it on your desk.

“Actually, that’s a good idea—then I can take a vacation with my fiancée. After all, you’re the founder of Yantail. I’m just a senior employee.”

Leonidas sighed. “River, you’re not just an employee. You’re the co-owner of Yantail now. We each hold half the shares—you’re a boss too!

“Besides, it’s work hours. You already proposed. Miss Lafayette’s busy with her job, so what are you even doing hanging around her office? You should stay here, work hard, and make more money.

“Once you’re married, you’ll have a family to support. And when you have kids someday, their education alone will cost a fortune. So hurry up and make money! The economy’s tough—you should treasure your job!”

River’s patience snapped. “Get lost!”

The sharpness in his voice was enough. Leonidas instantly stopped knocking and fell silent.

He rubbed his nose awkwardly, clutched the folders, and trudged back toward his office.

His secretary, who had witnessed everything, tried not to laugh—but failed.

“What’s so funny?” Leonidas grumbled. “You think I don’t know how to manage a company?”

The secretary chuckled. “Mr. Gaudreault, you came back just to gossip and avoid work. When a man’s in love, all he wants to do is slack off—don’t you know that?

“Mr. York’s right. You were Yantail’s founder, but you abandoned it for years. Now it’s time to take responsibility again.

“This company has over ten thousand employees. It needs both you and Mr. York steering it forward. At the very least, keep everyone’s jobs safe.”

Leonidas groaned softly. “…Fine, fine.”

He muttered to himself as he walked back to his office.

Thankfully, River’s proposal had been successful. Once he and Romina got married, the honeymoon phase would fade, and River would go back to being a workaholic.

When that happened, Leonidas could finally go back to being a hands-off boss.

After all, River would take over everything—while still calling him slow and incompetent.
