Chapter 713
“It’s my company’s annual dinner in a few days. I’ll get an invitation for you. You need a gown for the event. I can come back and pick you up, or you can drive there.
“Why should I go to your company’s annual dinner? I’m not an employee.”
Serenity was not keen on attending social events.
The only reason she would ever go was for the food.
Nevertheless, as Jasmine said, Serenity would have to curb her eating if she was there as Zachary’s plus–one.
Serenity would rather check out new eateries with Jasmine..
“We can bring a family member to the company’s annual dinner. Others would bring theirs, so why can’t I?”
Serenity had no words as she stared at Zachary.
“I’ll be helping out a little at the dinner. It might be a little later if you want me to pick you up. I’ll come straight after I’m done.”
“Alright. Let me know on that day itself. I’ll head over myself, so you don’t have to rush back. You can come out to bring me in when I reach your office. You can’t expect me to enter the event like a deer in headlights.”
Relieved, Zachary replied, “Of course. Ms. Stone will probably be attending too. Mr. Bucham doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he’s interested in Ms. Sox. It’s likely he’d invite Ms. Sox to be his plus–one.”
In the past, Zachary would usually give his speech at the company’s annual dinner and leave right after.
The employees would not be able to let loose and enjoy themselves with him there.
As the life of the party, Josh would party with everybody until it was over.
Many female employees would try to partner with Josh for the company’s annual dinner, hoping Josh could see their beauty and assets and fall in love with them.
Although Josh was gentler, chattier, and easier to get along with compared to Zachary, he did not enjoy being attacked by a pack of hungry female employees.
Subsequently, Josh would hire a young woman in his family to be his plus–one for the company’s annual dinner to ward off the female employees‘ enthusiastic pursuit.
