His Genius Wife is a Superstar

"Ketchup."

"Yes, Mommy? Please don't be angry at Ketchup! Wuwuwu! Meow…"

"You did a great job," Iris said in a low and soft voice so that her glam team wouldn't hear what she was saying inside the hotel room. She was also wearing earbuds to prevent them from listening in to her conversation with Jin Liwei and their virtual daughter. Aside from Dom, Iris didn't trust her glam team to know about Ketchup's existence.

"Meow? Really, Mommy?" Ketchup's tears immediately stopped.

"Yes. I approve of your initiative in reaching out to potential clients and recommending your own company to them. That's one of the most important qualities a businessperson, or in your case, a businesscat should have."

Ketchup beamed with pride, her smile looking like the Cheshire Cat's mischievous grin in Alice in Wonderland.

"But," Iris continued in a serious tone, causing the smile on the white cat's fluffy face to falter. "You still did wrong by not asking your dad for permission. It's his contact list and you just disrespected your dad's privacy by accessing it without asking."

Ketchup started crying again. "Wuwuwu! Sorry, Daddy! Ketchup didn't mean to disrespect you! Ketchup won't do it again! Promise! Meowuwuwuwu!!!"

"Alright, dad will forgive you this time. Just don't do it again," Jin Liwei said. He wasn't really angry but felt amused instead. However, it was true that Ketchup needed to learn that what she did was wrong, so he controlled his expression so as not to show his amusement.

"Thank you, Daddy! Meowuwuwu!"

Afterwards, the naughty white cat was told to play because her mommy and daddy needed to talk. Ketchup's cute and fluffy figure could be seen chasing virtual butterflies on the tablet screen, but make no mistake, because she was actually also working on her company White Tigress 24/7.

In just a few days, she had already impressed her current clients whom she stole from her daddy's contact list and proven herself as an insanely efficient virtual assistant. It was not very difficult for her because she had been doing the same tasks while assisting her daddy at work. In fact, the tasks she had been completing for her clients were so much easier compared to her daddy's who was a President-CEO.

The two clients she stole from her daddy's contacts also worked in the corporate field. They had relatively high positions in other companies but not at the executive level yet. Nevertheless, they were actually more swamped with work compared to the executives because their current positions didn't qualify them to have their own official assistants hired by their companies. They had to do all of the tasks assigned to them by themselves or ask their colleagues for help which didn't always work out.

This was why they wanted to delegate the bulk of the required trivial tasks dumped on them by their superiors to someone else so that they could focus on the more important tasks that could actually advance their careers and let them climb the corporate ladder at a faster rate. When White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services reached out to them, they immediately hired them out of desperation. They figured that if the virtual assistant services did a poor job, they could just fire them at any time.

Thankfully, it didn't come to that point. On the contrary, they were pleasantly surprised—no, actually, they were very impressed—especially by the virtual assistant named Kitty. Even though for some reason they weren't allowed to communicate directly with her and instead had to go through two other virtual assistants who acted as the customer service representatives, the two clients were still very satisfied because Kitty always completed the tasks that they assigned her in a very quick and efficient manner. Sometimes they suspected that the virtual assistant didn't sleep. She seemed to be always working even in the wee hours of the night.

They were so satisfied and happy by Kitty's performance that they couldn't help but recommend White Tigress to their colleagues as well. Due to their enthusiastic recommendations, White Tigress' clientele increased after just a few days.

Back to Iris and Jin Liwei's video call conversation, they also talked about Ketchup's business.

"White Tigress already earned back the 8,000 RMB capital that I gave to fund it in just a few days," Jin Liwei revealed. There was an unmistakable hint of pride in his tone.

Iris smiled. "Thank you for watching over Ketchup and her business."

"She's our child so of course I'll watch over her. Don't worry, love. Leave everything to me."

"I still feel a little worried, though. So I'll work on strengthening her security system and her company's in the next few days when I have the time."

A small furrow formed between Jin Liwei's brows. "You're already very busy—"

"We can't risk it, Liwei," she whispered. "Securing Ketchup's safety also means our safety."

His lips tightened into a thin line before sighing in resignation. "Alright. But don't push yourself too hard. You're now busier than me so I always worry about you."

"Thank you. I'll take care of myself. Dom and my bodyguards are also with me. They take care of me and pamper me as per your instructions," she told him with a knowing smile.

"They should or I'll give them hell if something ever happens to my wife during their watch."

"Nothing will happen to me," she reassured him.

"En. I'll make sure nothing happens to you," he said before remembering something. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Second Brother texted this morning to apologize because your next pregnancy test appointment with him will have to be delayed. The hospital scheduled a major surgery for him that day."

She stiffened a little after hearing 'pregnancy test' but still nodded. "Okay, no problem."

Deep inside, she actually felt relieved that it was delayed. There was a confusing mixture of dread, fear but also excitement roiling within her whenever she thought about the pregnancy test. Her gaze dropped to her flat stomach.

'I don't feel pregnant.'

Shaking her worries away, she smiled at her darling and continued chatting with him until they both had to go.
