Amy was shocked when Richard suddenly asked what Mary said to her.
Amy was so surprised and her face turned red immediately.
"Nothing, she told me to enjoy the dishes." Amy lied, because she didn't dare not to repeat what Mary said.
"Fine." Richard said and didn't say anything.
While Amy was looking at him secretively. She thought that Richard didn't seem to be mad, so she was relieved, thinking that Richard believed her.
Amy didn't have much work today, and no one sent files here. Richard was busy doing all the work submitted by others yesterday, so she had no work today. Therefore, Amy was talking to Hannah online.
Hannah knew that Amy was ordered to work on 30th floor by Richard, and she was so worried, because everyone knew that Mr. Carter was very strict. So she was afraid that Amy would get hurt.
However, Amy said that she was fine, and she was quite free and comfortable up here, with little work to do.
Hannah also told her what happened to Zoe, saying that someone was watching Zoe to finish all the work. And Zoe was asked to finish all the work today, or she needed to quit the job. After saying this, Hannah couldn't help laughing.
However, hearing this, Amy was not that happy. Mrs. Jones was fired because of her, and if Zoe got fired too, more rumors against her would come out.
They kept talking, and then Hannah invited Amy to her home, saying that Mrs. Adams made some delicious food today, and she invited Amy to have dinner.
Hearing that it was Mrs. Adams who invited her, Amy said yes immediately, because Mrs. Adams was a great cook. Amy enjoyed having dinner in the Adams' house since she was a little girl.
Finally, it was time to get off work, but Amy saw that her boss Richard was still working, so it would be irresponsible for her to leave now.
She looked at Richard for several times, but he kept working.
"Mr. Carter, it's time to get off work now. Shall I leave now?" Amy was urged by Hannah several times.
It had been half an hour since the off-work time.
"You are leaving?" Richard heard that Amy was going to leave, and he realized that it was time to get off.
"Yes, it's time to get off now. Mr. Carter, take care, and shall I leave now?" It was the first day for Amy to work here, so she thought that it was the best for her to ask before leaving.
"Fine, you can leave now." Richard wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
Hearing that she could leave now, Amy disappeared as quickly as she could.
When Richard remembered to take Amy to see whether Zoe had finished all the work, Amy had already gone.
Hannah drove Amy back to her home in no time.
Amy's mother went missing many years ago, so since she was a little girl, Amy had had dinner in the Adams' house many times, and she considered Mrs. Adams as her own mother.
