Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1091
After what seemed like forever, Hannah pushed the files aside and did some stretching. She muttered, “I’m finally done with this. It’s quite a challenge to write an article about the president. It’s got to be juicy enough to capture the readers’ attention, yet I can’t reveal too much information in order to keep everyone in suspense.”
Hannah was delighted. Thank God I’m experienced in this. Otherwise, I might tread on some people’s toes.
She brought along the finalized article to Bob’s office in trepidation. This room is the origin of all problems. Every time I step foot into the office, I’ll walk out with a series of issues.
“Mr. Dijon, this is my edited document. For your perusal.”
After reading it, Bob nodded to acknowledge Hannah’s good work. “Please personally send this to Mr. Jackson’s company for him to go through.”
Huh? Why is there a need to make a trip to his office? Can’t this be done via a phone call?
Hannah mumbled to herself, “So troublesome.”
Bob seemed to have heard her remark and emphasized, “You don’t need to return to the office once the article is confirmed. Leave a copy here. Just call if there’s anything to amend further. All right, you may go now.”
This gesture is too small to be counted as bribery. I won’t fall for that.
“Noted,” Hannah responded briefly and left.
As she walked back to the common area, she was astonished to see a familiar back profile appearing before her eyes. She had been dying to discover who that person was.
Out of instinct, she yelled out immediately, “Hey, hold on!”
Everyone shot bewildered stares at her. It was only then that she realized what she had done.
Since she had drawn unwanted attention to herself, she could only bite the bullet and continued with the next step.
