Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 914

“Many of the employees aren’t locals. Our former boss was at odds with Mr. Lee before. It’s a little unsettling now that we’re getting a new boss. We don’t mean any harm. We just hope Mr. Lee will treat us all the same.”

Jem added, “We’d feel uneasy if you didn’t accept the gift.”

That was the true reflection of many employees’ thoughts.

Jem had previously put ideas in the employees’ heads. Now all departments decided to present Sophie with a gift.

At that point, Sophie could not refuse the gifts.

Representatives from other departments offered gifts that were not too expensive, so Sophie accepted them without reservations.

Another two male employees carried chocolate Easter eggs over.

“I’m Lennon Zest, Ms. Song. That’s Theo Kunt, my colleague in the back office. This is a gift for you, from the back office.”

Giggles filled the room.

A female employee teased, “Lennon, Easter is over. Are you giving away the chocolate eggs stashed in the office? I supposed the leftover eggs came to good use.”

“Haha…”

The crowd burst out in laughter.

It was insincere to give away chocolate eggs when Easter was over.

Lennon and Theo stood there, flushed with embarrassment.

Not wanting to put them in the spot, Sophie said, “I’ll take the chocolate eggs. I was too busy during Easter to enjoy any eggs.”

“Thank you, Ms. Song.”

Lennon and Theo thanked Sophie.

Malice hid in their eyes.

After the get-together, Sophie returned to the office to sort out some documents.
