Hanley's mind was puzzled as to why Vivian would associate him with Selena.
Still, he did not open his mouth to ask, nor did he explain that he had in fact purposely cancelled the trip.
As the boss, it was not appropriate for him to stay in one department for too long. Although it was after hours and there were not many people in the company, there would still be those who liked to gossip.
So he turned around, gestured to Quincy who was in the know, and left with a condescending face.
In fact, Vivian's workload wasn't much, and she was done with it long before Hanley came over. There was a pile of papers on the table, but it was just her being bored idly and checking information.
Now that Hanley is gone, Vivian doesn't have the heart to read these materials anymore, but lies on her desk with a sad face. Because her desk is still a bit far away from everyone, so no one noticed.
When people are quiet, they will always think about what's there and what's not.
In Qin's Group these days, except for the first time and Hanley unpleasant and afternoon, the way they get along, seems to be quite quiet. And Hanley treated her with both concern and without much interference.
But tonight Hanley seemed like he had eaten dynamite and started treating her nonchalantly again.
Vivian heart a heartache, but also can only helplessly smiled. As soon as she heard that Selena was waiting for him, he immediately turned around and left, what else did she expect?
It's just that all these hours together have forced Vivian to look forward to more together!
Although the most they could do was to sit quietly and eat together sometimes, and not say much during that time. However, Vivian enjoyed this kind of time because even if it was quiet again, they didn't feel awkward with each other.
She was in a daze until someone from the department called her off and she realized it was ten o'clock. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Holden before she slowly packed her things and went downstairs.
By this time, everyone had already gone back from work, and she was the only one in an empty company. She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and her pace picked up a lot. So by the time she got to the appointment, she hadn't seen Holden's figure.
She sat silently on a stone bench and stared, when suddenly, a familiar vehicle stopped in front of her.
She looked up subconsciously and was surprised to find Hanley sitting inside, although she was a little confused as to why he was still here at this time, as he had just left to attend the reception with Selena.
But Vivian still didn't say anything, but smiled politely, "What a coincidence, how come Mr. Qin is still here? What reception is so fast? It's over in less than an hour!"
Hanley also did not want to explain more, but honked the horn and said, "Come up, I'll take you home."
Although Hanley's tone was very calm, but in fact he was secretly watching everyone leave from afar before he silently drove the car over.
Tonight, his purpose of making Vivian work overtime was not only to stop her from dating other men, but he also had a small intention - to take her home from work.
Because of the gossip in the company, he learned that there was a man who often drove Vivian from work.
Vivian smiled politely again before shaking her head and saying, "No thanks Mr. Qin, I already have a date."
Vivian didn't believe that Hanley had come to pick her up from work on purpose, she probably had something to do with a trip back to the office and happened to see her, she wasn't going to be smug.
"Someone? What people?" Hanley suddenly looked angry, opened the car door and stepped out.
Seeing the coldness emanating from Hanley, Vivian unconsciously shivered a little.
"Mr. Qin, it's already the end of the day!" Vivian said cautiously, not wanting to make it sound too harsh. She still had to work at Qin's Group, and the two of them would still see each other occasionally, and she didn't want to make the relationship too hard.
What's more, now that her relationship with Hanley had eased, she didn't want any more unpleasantness.
