Just as she was lost in thought, Isabella felt her clothes being tugged. Coming back her senses, she lowered her head and saw a cute and young face. Then she asked gently, "Rachel, what's the matter?"
Looking at her, the little girl held her toy without saying a word.
Then Isabella asked again, "Wanna pee?"
Seeing her cutely nod her head, Isabella smiled immediately, "I'll take you to the bathroom. Let's go."
Then she took Rachel out of her office. As they passed by the her colleagues, the little girl attracted a lot attention, who all greeted Rachel.
Before they arrived at the bathroom, John suddenly walked in and said, "Miss Jones, Polygon is inviting all members of our department to have a dinner party tomorrow night."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole department was instantly in an uproar.
"Polygon Group? Isn't this like a blind date?" Some young men teased, "If only there were pretty girls."
Hearing this, some girls immediately rolled their eyes, "Don't all of you already have girlfriends? You can't be so greedy... But I wish there could be some handsome guys, like Mr. Miller."
The corner of Isabella's mouth twitched. Ignoring the discussions, she calmly asked John, "When did this happen?"
"Just now. Their administrative department send me a message." John passed his phone to her.
Thinking for a second without any expression on face, she looked at her subordinates and asked: "Do you guys have the time?"
Such company activities were very common, so there was nothing strange. Furthermore, Polygon was in much higher level than Benton, so it was their honour to be have such opportunity. Even if she wasn't interested, she had to consider for her subordinates.
As she expected, everyone nodded their heads. They just wanted to see how the big companies like Polygon would hold a party.
So Isabella nodded at John straightforwardly, "Alright, tell them we'll be there right on time."
"Okay." John then turned and left.
Her department bustled with excitement once again.
"Guys, talk about it after work. Now continue working."
After saying that, Isabella walked out while holding Rachel's hand.
Out of the bathroom, the little girl suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Isabella lowered her head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Rachel slowly raised her pinky finger and pointed in a direction.
Isabella looked over, asking: "You wanna play over there?"
That was the company's leisure area, which was colourfully decorated and had a lot of spaces.
Thinking that she'd also stayed bored in her office, Isabella smiled, "Alright, let's go there."
Then she let John bring her laptop over, and started to work while sitting on sofa.
Everyone passing by would ask about Rachel.
"Hi, Miss Jones. Is she your daughter?"
"Miss Jones, I've no idea that your child are already this big? So cute!"
