At noon, Vespera received several lunch invitations. Two department managers called her back to back, followed by the finance director, and then the assistant general manager from the admin department.
Why was everyone inviting her for lunch? In the end, she suggested they all have lunch together.
The marketing department manager booked a restaurant, and the finance director insisted on covering the bill. Throughout the meal, they showered Vespera with compliments.
Unbeknownst to Vespera, she had become somewhat of a legend in the company. The latest rumors had claimed that her power had surpassed the woman Dominic was supposedly arranged to marry. Word was, she had already won his favor. She was untouchable now.
As lunch was over and everyone began rising from the table, Vespera's phone rang. It was a call from Dominic.
She said politely, "It's Mr. Reid. Excuse me for a moment."
Instantly, the four employees around her lit up with knowing grins, like relatives at a wedding right before the vows. It was as though they would burst into tears and were ready to give their blessings.
Upon seeing their reactions, Vespera was speechless. She ignored them and answered the call. "Mr. Reid."
"That restaurant's bouillabaisse is not bad. Order one to go and bring it back," said Dominic calmly.
Vespera answered, "Alright."
Dominic added, "Be quick. I'm hungry."
Vespera responded again, "Alright."
Although the four employees were seated at a distance, they caught a few keywords—bring it back, be quick, hungry. They thought that Vespera and Dominic must be exchanging secret codes.
