Chapter 863 – #97. Lanna (23)
“Did you hear that?”
“What?”
“I’m talking about the CEO.”
“Of course I heard that you were pregnant. Where is the employee who doesn’t know that?”
“Did you just know that you were pregnant?”
“Then what else is there?”
As if the employee knew it, he put on a happy expression and spread his three fingers.
“?”
“What triplets!”
“Yes?”
“CEO, you’re pregnant with triplets!”
“Three people?!”
It’s just that being pregnant is amazing, and having twins is amazing, but there are three of them!
“Rumours are spreading that you’re pregnant with triplets.”
“If it’s triplets… Is it true that our CEO can continue to work?”
“Even if it’s not the case, the company is in trouble because of it. If you have triplets, your body will be very hard, so you’re sure to take maternity leave sooner than you think.”
Meanwhile, the news reached the ears of three of the employees who went on a business trip with the CEO.
They unknowingly exchanged glances with each other, even though they knew they had to forget.
‘It must have been that day…?’
‘I should have forgotten… But I keep thinking of that image.’
‘Ha…How on earth are you that great? I envy you. I envy you…!’
The superior ability to conceive triplets.
The three employees who had witnessed it had no choice but to imagine something strange.
By the way…
“Really, what should I do?”
“The company is growing very fast…”
“If the representative is unable to work, who will take the place? Do you want to raise internal personnel?”
“Well, who among the employees can take the place of the CEO?”
“Um…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to hire a professional manager rather than the interim representative? If you have triplets, it’s not just a problem. It would take a lot of work to raise them…”
“Ugh! Come to think of it, is that so?”
Triplet.
Not one, not two, but three!
How difficult it must be to raise three newborn babies.
Entrusting it to someone else was too dangerous in today’s world.
“If there is one son among the three…”
“The company can’t come out unconditionally.”
“Ah~ But since you have a lot of money, why not hire someone you can trust?”
“I don’t think I would ever be able to leave your side if I were your mother.”
“That’s… Right.”
Haven’t you had three children?
Since I’m old, I wonder if I’ll have to recuperate for quite a while.
It has become a situation where it is unknown how long the vacancy of the CEO, who had been watching for about a year, will increase.
‘The CEO isn’t at the company, and someone else is taking the position?’
‘Who the hell can take the CEO’s place?’
‘If the CEO changes, won’t the company change a lot? I like it best the way it is now.’
‘I am growing rapidly, but suddenly the brakes are applied like this.’
Employees know.
The reason the company has been able to grow steadily is not because the employees are good, but because the CEO’s ability is amazing.
The cooperation of a large company that is of great help to the company this time.
Isn’t that also the achievement brought by the CEO?
When I went on a business trip myself, I expected that going abroad would be more difficult than I thought, but the CEO suddenly presented a solution to the employees.
It is said that such a competent representative is away because of his pregnancy.
It was inevitable that employees would be anxious.
These employees’ anxiety was conveyed to the CEO by competent secretarial staff.

“Can’t people live without worries?”
“What happened at work today?”
“Yes.”
She practiced being honest with her husband and not hiding what was inside her.
She thought it was very good after she had done it once or twice to tell her story in a cool way.
It wasn’t that things were going to be resolved, but just talking about it made the headache go away.
‘We shouldn’t be stressed for the sake of our dadungs.’
Currently living with the best possible thoughts for the triplets.
Work at the company was her only concern.
‘I want to quickly solve my company affairs and spend my days thinking only of Dadungs…’
“I informed the staff that I was pregnant with Dadung, because I have to take a leave of absence sooner than planned.”
“So what?”
“I think there are a lot of worries about who will fill my vacant seat among the employees.
She thought it would be a big problem for the company if she left her seat, and the behavior of the employees making a fuss felt cute, but the current problem was that her employees did not say that she was worried.
“Isn’t there an insider to entrust the company with?”
“I asked if there was anyone who wanted to do it, and everyone said it seemed impossible. They said it was burdensome.”
“Hmm… There might be at least one person with ambition, but it’s really strange. In other companies, they can’t rise higher and have internal power struggles.”
“Because the company hasn’t been around in a while.”
She was working hard for the company while everyone was proud.
“So, I have absolutely no idea who to entrust my position to. It would be appropriate for Kanna-san to recommend a professional manager, right?”
“If you rest this time, how long are you planning to rest?”
I pondered over her husband’s question.
It’s not just about having children.
She had to take care of her by her side, at least until the age when her children wouldn’t be a problem if they were separated from their mother.
“You can’t leave all five children with a nanny.”
“Yes.”
In fact, it’s possible, but at the time, Ranna didn’t know how competent her nanny was.
“Is there anyone else I can trust and entrust my children to like a nanny?
Ranna also thought that if she had only one more person like a nanny to take care of the children, she would be able to return to work quickly.
Then, she immediately shook her head.
‘No matter how well nanny treats me, I have to be by her side. Kids need their mom the most.’
Even when she gave birth to her first and second children, she worked from home until her children were three years old.
‘Should I just work from home this time? No, in the current situation, the CEO who can’t even go to work will be a nuisance.’
Even though she thought about not being overly greedy, Ran and I had to sigh several times a day because she suddenly became greedy for the company.
“There’s no problem with finding a nanny. But even if we find more nannies, wouldn’t the company have to take a break for at least a year or two?”
Seeking more of her nanny did not reduce the minimum amount of time she had to rest.
She said it would be good for her husband to take up to three years off if possible.
“…Three years?”
“If 3 years is too much for you, how about doing it as if you were working from home?
“Working from home…So you think it’s right to hire a professional manager?”
“Yes.”
Can a professional manager… Really grow our company well?
When she couldn’t make up her mind, her husband asked.
“Are you so worried about the company?”
“It’s kind of funny, right? What a great person. I don’t know if he’s acting like something big is going to happen to the company if I’m not there.”
Delegating the representative position to someone else will not make the company’s situation rapidly deteriorate.
Isn’t the company doing well because she is good at her ability in the first place?
‘The connections she was introduced to by her husband are growing the company. The company will run well even without me.’
But when she thought that the company might not need her, she felt bad.
“It’s a company you built with your own hands, from one to ten. It’s only natural that you have attachments to it. And no matter how talented you are, you won’t be able to take your place.”
How can you say what you want so sweetly?
She smiled spontaneously and made her laugh at the bash.
“Even if you say that, you agree that the company will run well.”
“But he probably doesn’t love the company as much as you do. Employees don’t worry about you taking maternity leave for nothing.”
How her husband’s words warmed her heart.
She forgot her cares and took the time to fully enjoy her husband’s loveliness.
It was impossible to have a hot time because of pregnancy, but the relationship between the two was much closer than before.
“Ha…”
After her warm time, she was exhausted and lay down on her bed.
It was still early for her to go to sleep, but she fell asleep.
Then her husband put his hand on her belly and caressed it.
“It hasn’t even come out yet.”
“I will. But it will come out soon. I have three babies, so my stomach will get very big.
“I’m worried about the company, and you’re worried about me.”
“I’m thinking of staying by your side while resting and not working for a while. Wouldn’t it be okay to have three people to raise and give birth to triplets?”
“You’re taking a leave of absence too? Is that okay?”
At some point, the husband who used to leave quickly, saying it was because of work.
Even before I was pregnant with triplets, it was hard to see her face for a while, saying she would be busy for a while.
As much as her company is important, her husband’s work can be very precious to him, but she did not want to sacrifice her husband for her sake.
However, just as the first or second child did not want to die for nothing when the husband came, the husband had excellent skills in taking care of the children.
It was true that if such a husband gave great help in childrearing, his worries would be greatly reduced.
“There’s nothing more important to me than my family. So I’m a little less worried about childcare. Raising triplets will be much easier if I’m by your side. And about the company… Shall we try once in two years?”
“Yes?”
“And don’t worry about the professional manager. I’ll find a decent one.”
“I didn’t mean to ask you to solve all my problems!”
“Don’t get excited, listen.”
Her husband put his hands on the shoulders of Lanna, who was about to reject him, and bent over her to meet her gaze.
“There are three children in your belly right now.”
“…”
“Your body is being torn apart from raising the babies in your belly.”
A mother’s energy is what the three children need to grow up.
“But there’s nothing I can do for you and the babies. The only thing I can do is solve your worries about work. I can’t change my body and raise the baby instead.”
“Is this something I have to do?”
“Why is that obvious? I didn’t make the child alone. I’m upset that there are only things I can do for my family, so please don’t reject me saying it’s a burden. It’s not for me. Please accept it as a thank you.”
After hearing his heartfelt words, I understood.
That her husband’s favor, which he had rejected because it was burdensome, could have felt frustrating to him.
