Chapter 114 Not Telling You
“Yes, that’s him! He has been courting me for years, but I’ve never fancied him!” Josephine wasannoyed when Xavier’s name was brought up. “How about this? I’ll explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Chancemyself. After all, Dragon Bay is the perfect place for retirement.”
“That’s not necessary. My parents are happy where they are now. Besides, they have neighborsaccompanying them to pass the time. Perhaps we can talk about it sometime in the future,” Jaredsuggested.
Josephine nodded as she picked up her bag and walked toward the door. Suddenly, she turned backand said, “Don’t hesitate to tell me if someone bullies you, okay? If worse comes to worst, I can just fireXavier.”
“Do you think there’s anyone capable of bullying me?” Jared smiled cheekily.
Amused by Jared’s sense of humor, Josephine left with a smile on her face. Who am I kidding? Iwatched Jared defeat Steven with my own eyes. Surely no one in this company could bully Jared.
Zayne rushed into the office as soon as Josephine stepped out. “Jared, what did Ms. Sullivan talk toyou about?”
With a cold gaze, Jared answered, “I’m not telling you.”
Jared exited the office after that, leaving Zayne in absolute anger.
“Hey, Jared! Just because you collected a debt, that doesn’t mean you can disrespect me! I’m yourmanager!” Zayne screamed at the top of his lungs.
The rest of the staff gathered around Jared the moment they saw him coming out. They were allcurious about the conversation Jared had with Josephine. To their dismay, Jared kept his mouthzipped.
Jared was busy compiling the documents on all the debtors throughout the afternoon. He then sent thedocuments to Tommy.
Just minutes away from getting off work, Xavier dropped by the sales department. His visit hadunsettled the whole department because the employees were worried that he might order them to workovertime.
“Hi, Mr. Jennings!” Zayne rushed to greet him.
Xavier scanned the floor before purposefully gazing at Jared. He then said to Zayne, “Mr. Carlson, dueto the exemplary performance of your department, I’d like to buy everyone dinner. Make sure everyonewill be there. The venue is Vintage Restaurant.”
Xavier turned to leave after making the announcement while Zayne stood rooted to the spot.
Surprised, Maria walked toward Zayne and asked, “Did Mr. Jennings just say he wants to buy usdinner? Not only that, but he also complimented our performance?”
Zayne was equally startled. He nodded and wondered out loud, “What has gotten into Mr. Jenningstoday? Is he all right?”
Truth be told, Xavier had never treated them to a meal before. Furthermore, Zayne was constantlylambasted for debt collection issues during corporate meetings. The former’s sudden change ofattitude caught everyone off guard.
“Mr. Carlson, isn’t that good news? Why are you still standing there like a lemon? Quickly let the othersknow!” Lydia was very excited upon hearing the announcement.
“Oh! You’re right!” Zayne regained his senses and informed the others hurriedly before any of themleave the building. Mr. Jennings said to make sure that everyone will be there!
“Listen up, everyone! Mr. Jennings is very pleased with our performance. Hence, he’d like to invite all ofus for dinner. He explicitly said that everyone in our department must be there.”
The staff started cheering upon hearing that. “Wow! Vintage Restaurant? That’s awesome!”
“That’s one of the best restaurants in Horington! It’s as famous as Glamor Hotel!”novelbin
“What’s with Mr. Jennings’ sudden act of generosity?”
“I have to go touch up my makeup! I must look my best for Mr. Jennings!”
Suddenly, everyone was rushing to get themselves ready for dinner. The ladies stormed thewashrooms to freshen themselves up.
