A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 36

An icy voice emerged through the receiver, and I recognized Bruce's voice at once.

When I thought about the rich ladies who had been with Kate that night, I immediately knew what the reason was.

It seemed that Bruce not only wanted to make Cindy part of the upper circle. He also wanted Kate to be the one to personally bring her in.

"Our gathering had already begun by the time she got off work. Since she was going to be late, it would be better not to come at all," Kate replied directly.

It wasn't a secret that Kate did not like Cindy.

Since it was a conversation between mother and son, it would be inappropriate for me to keep listening. So, I quietly hung up.

When I went to the office the next day, I shared my experience at the comic convention with Caroline. After that, we discussed the team building event.

"Let's go and stay at a homestay. Nalvale has a pretty good scenery, and we can either have a campfire at night or have a dip in the hot springs. We can relax properly."

We decided to set off tomorrow.

I had no objection to this. Caroline was the boss when it came to having fun.

After she got divorced, she spent half a year traveling around the country.

She would be the best person to know which team building venues there were around Joddesdon and Saza.

After we had decided, she immediately called everyone to the conference room to announce the good news.

Everyone seemed happy to hear it, except Cindy, who sat silently in a corner.

I couldn't tell what she was feeling.

I guessed that it had something to do with Kate standing her up, so I didn't think much of it.

That afternoon, Caroline suddenly called me into her office and gave me a meaningful look.

She rarely looked at me that way.

"What happened?"

Caroline brandished her address book at me and said, "Mr. Zeigler just called."

"What did he say?"

"He said that Mr. Harold heard that we're going for a team building event, and that he has a better suggestion."

Bruce wanted both companies to take part in this team building event.

He would bring his secretarial team, and he would personally be in attendance as well.

He had also decided to change the team building venue from Nalvale to Horton Estate, which was located in the north of Joddesdon and Saza.

Roeval would pay for all expenses.

I was confused. "What kind of place is Horton Estate?"
