A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 What the Hell Is This Bitch Plotting?

Emilia was situated on the tenth floor. Though she was placed under the secretarial department, she was still a newbie in a probationary period and therefore, she wasn’t qualified enough to be situated on the top floor where the CEO was, leaving her no choice but to remain on the tenth floor.

After Diane arrived at the tenth floor, she cautiously stepped out of the lift and couldn’t help but look around in awe. But just then, she felt someone grasping her forearm.

It was none other than Christopher who was holding her bag of dessert steady. With his fingers still around her forearm, his expression darkened.

“Why did you run away?”

“I’m not here for you since you’re such a busy man. I’m looking for Emilia.”

Diane took less than a minute to recompose herself in the lift.

She scolded herself internally for having those silly thoughts just a moment ago. After all, what happened between Christopher and Queenie was none of her business.

It was only strictly marriage and no love between the both of them, so why should it bother her so much?

Her train of thought seemed to be convincing enough to calm herself down. Regaining her composure, she managed to squeeze a smile at Christopher despite his cold manner.

However, seeing the smile on her face made him furrow his brows even more, and he gazed hostilely at her.

“Is this for Emilia too?” he referred to her dessert box.

Christopher was still weighing the bag of dessert before it was swiftly taken away by the rightful owner. “Yeah, it’s her favourite.”

Therefore, the dessert that she brought had nothing to do with him; her sister was the only reason why she was here.

At once, he felt a pang of disappointment, and a sudden regret washed over him, for wasting so much time just to catch up to her.

“Off you go then. Don’t linger around. You might bother the other employees.”

With that, Christopher let go of her arm reluctantly and turned around to leave.

“What’s the rush? Tending to your impatient superiors?”

With a purse of her lips, Diane huffed with annoyance and left to find her sister at the secretarial department with her bag of goodies.

When she reached the secretarial department, she peeked into it and spotted Emilia working at her desk. The office felt solemn. There was no sight of the usual office gossiping, only diligent employees performing their duties quietly.

This was what the renowned Evergreen Incorporated looked like. By the looks of its stern working environment, it looked like Emilia would have to tame her attitude a bit no matter how willful she could be at times.

Seeing this, Diane felt proud of her and mentioned to a passing by colleague that she was looking for Emilia.

After Emilia came out, she handed the desserts over to her and left promptly after a brief conversation as she did not want to be a bother to her colleagues.

Truthfully, some of the desserts were meant for Christopher but obviously, there was no need for that now.

Diane did not return home immediately after she left Evergreen Incorporated, instead, she took an en route to NG Enterprise. Even though her long leave of absence was approved by Christopher, she still wanted to retrieve some of her belongings from the office.

As soon as she stepped into the revolving door, a heavily pregnant lady caught her eye. It was none other than Stella who seemed to be carrying a cardboard box.

Stella exited the lift with a backpack on her. It was still office hours; in that case, was she here to resign?

Seeing this, Diane hesitated for a split second before heading towards her.

Stella stopped in her steps when she saw Diane. Her face was expressionless, just like everything did not happen before.

“Diane. I’m quitting,” said Stella.
