A smile was still plastered on Kevin's face, though the smile was more playful than before.
Hans, who was usually calm, showed a hint of impatience in his eyes after noticing Kevin's strange look. "Kevin, that was not funny."
"I have never seen you care so much about a woman."
On the other side of the screen, Kevin was showing his white teeth, with rare seriousness in his smile.
"Even when we were at school, you didn't even take a proper look at the arrogant popular girls, let alone asking me which woman I didn't take seriously. Hans, you are really serious this time."
A trace of strangeness flashed across Hans's face, and he avoided Kevin's eyes. "It's just a woman. There are so many women in the world, and no one is indispensable."
"So do you mean that I can woo her?"
"No way."
Hans said that without even thinking, he reflexively glanced at Kevin on the screen.
"Oh, okay then..." Kelvin shrugged and shook the screen a few times.
"I knew you would be like this. Back then when I pestered you for a month, you didn't even let me see her once. When I realized how overprotective you were over her, I knew that you like her more than a sister."
Hans frowned and looked like he wanted to refute.
"Hans, don't lie to yourself. You said no one is indispensable, but you won't know it until you lose her."
"Kevin, I..."
"Well, I'm going to have a date with my 'gorilla' princess. Let's just stop here. I think you're in a good mood recently. I hope you can introduce her to me next time as your girlfriend..."
Kevin's face broke into a grin. "Remember, it's not that I've failed to woo her. I let you have her because you're my best friend. If you hadn't fallen in love with her a long time ago, I would never have missed such a good opportunity. If there's no progress next time, I'll take the initiative. Don't regret it then."
Although he knew that Kevin was joking, Hans still felt inexplicably nervous.
The video on the computer flashed a few times and returned to the main screen's blue interface.
Hans frowned for no reason and looked up at the door of the president's office as if he could see the busy figure inside the secretary's office through the door.
In the afternoon, half an hour before they finished work, Rose just came back from the Planning Department with a pile of food and drinks. It was obvious that she heard something good there.
"Here, these things are for you." Rose put most of the food in her arms on Jennifer's table, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the Planning Department dinner after work."
Jennifer was busy crosschecking data and did not look up. "Did John, the manager of the Planning Department invite you to dinner again?"
"He didn't just invite me, he invited the whole secretary's office."
"You go ahead. I have something to do after work."
"What's the matter? What's this important thing you need to do? You have to eat, don't you?"
Rose grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. Jennifer couldn't focus on work because of this so she looked up at her. "Come on. I have to finish this as soon as possible so I don't have to work overtime. I have to buy a new phone later."
She hadn't had the time to buy a new phone after breaking it outside the company last time. She was using an old phone but it was not convenient. She even missed customers' calls several times.
"It's just a mobile phone. You can't buy it at any time. Just go with me to dinner first, I'll go shopping with you after dinner..."
