Serena hung up without a second thought.
Serena picked up her bag and left the office with a dark expression. As she left, the crackling of the keyboard around her stopped for a moment.
It was not until Serena disappeared from sight that the discussion started again with the sound of typing on the keyboard.
However, Serena was no longer in the mood to think about the gossip about her in the office.
Before she entered the elevator, the phone in her hand rang again.
It was midsummer, but Serena felt cold all over.
Her fingers were trembling. Serena hung up the phone again and stepped into the elevator as if someone was chasing her.
When Serena arrived at the underground garage, there were no more calls. However, the new message she received made Serena want to smash her phone.
It read, [You're not picking up the phone? Sure. I'm right at the entrance of your company. It's fine if you don't pick up the phone. Let's see if you can continue working tomorrow!] There was also a photo attached. It was the fountain at the entrance of Quadmart Group.
Serena took a deep breath and returned the call with trembling hands.
As soon as the call went through, Serena shouted in a cold voice, "What do you want?" Her voice was shaking.
A male voice answered, "My dear daughter, how can you speak to your father like that?"
However, the man on the other end of the phone did not waver much. Instead, he sounded a little happy, as if he was happy to anger Serena.
Serena clenched her fists and spoke coldly, "I don't have a father like you. Shut up!"
"Oh, you can't say that. My blood flows in you. Such a relationship can't be severed. Unless you die, you will still be my daughter. It's useless even if you change your last name to your mother's!" The roguish voice, together with the sound of water, came from the receiver, making Serena feel even more frustrated.
Serena wanted to hang up the phone and ignore the man.
However, when Serena thought about how he was at the entrance of the company and that it was time for people to get off work, she could not ignore him.
After a long silence, Serena finally relented. "I'll transfer a monthly allowance to your card. Leave immediately!"
Davian Farley snorted coldly. "Serena, I came from the countryside to find my rich daughter in the city, but you don't even let me see you. That's not good, right? I heard that you're working by the boss's side now. I'll go ask around later..."
"Enough!" Serena finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Davian sternly. "I'll pick you up in three minutes. Don't fucking cause any trouble at the entrance of the company, or I'll call the police!"
"Alright. I'll wait for you at the statue of that fountain. You have to hurry." Davian wanted to say that it was useless for Serena to call the police. After all, even the police disliked interfering in family matters. He had not done anything. So what if the police came?
However, after thinking about the purpose of his trip, Davian obediently agreed and sat by the fountain with his legs crossed.
It was time to get off work. Many people came out of the office building one after another. When they saw Davian, who was dressed like a vagrant, sitting with his legs crossed at the entrance, they could not help but size him up.
Some kind-hearted people went up and gave him some change.
Davian was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage. "Get lost! My daughter works here. Do you think I need your charity?"
"Your daughter works here? Which department is she from? Why are you still dressed like..." The passersby were inevitably surprised.
One had to know that Quadmart Group's salary was ranked at the top in Rozalia and even in the entire country. Even the cleaning lady's salary was a few hundred dollars higher than her peers. She even enjoyed the same benefits and year-end bonus as the company's employees.
