Chapter 314
I didn’t notice anything special about him when we had dinner, but now I saw that he was a scary man. He walked over, his expression unreadable. As he passed me, he gave me a look that sent a shiver down my spine, and I fidgeted nervously.
Jenny quickly pressed the up button for the executive elevator. It wasn’t until Eric walked in and the door closed that someone spoke again.
“Your president is scary,” I whispered to Jenny.
“Yes, and he looks angry. I think it’s going to be another terrible day. When I think about it, I miss Ms. Sanders.”
“Why?” Kevin joined the conversation.
“Because she cheers him up.”
Jenny and I went to our workstations after that. I made myself a cup of tea and started my work. The morning passed quickly, so Jenny invited me to have lunch together. She looked fine, so I asked smiling, “Your president didn’t put you through the wringer, did he?”
“No. He’s busy with conferences and client meetings today, so he doesn’t have free time.” In other words, he would put them through the wringer when he had time to spare.
We walked into the cafeteria for lunch and got a seat, when Kevin appeared beside us. Looking at him, Jenny smiled. “I thought that Mr. Walker asked the sales department to lunch half an hour before everyone else, so why are you still here?”
“I am a slow eater.” He smiled at me. “I brought you some yogurt.”
“Hey, I thought it was just one yogurt per person. You’re breaking the rules again.”
“I did not do. It’s one yogurt per person per race. I just queued up twice,” Kevin said matter-of-factly, and I laughed. “If your president finds out that you abused the loophole, he will be angry.”
“I am not abusing the loophole. That’s just being flexible. Mr. Walker used to be generous and the system used to be so easy to use, but he’s become very stingy lately. Hey Jenny, you work around him, so do you have any news on this change?”
“What kind of news?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps his romantic relationship has taken a turn for the worse? Something like
“Don’t say nonsense.”
“I’m not, I saw some news online about Ms. Sanders last night. She attended an event in Oceana and continued to leave with a hunk. Maybe he’s mad about it?”
“It’s possible.” Jenny looked like she had a eureka moment.
“But that hunk can’t hold a candle against Mr. Walker. He shouldn’t feel angry about it.”
“Love is blind, you idiot. Mr. Walker loves Miss. Sanders, so it’s normal for him to be jealous of any man who approaches her.”
“You are right.” Kevin looked at me. “Are you free after work today, Lily?”
“Why do you ask?”
“I am inviting you to dinner.”
Chapter 314
“Why are you asking me out to dinner?”
“Yes, why are you asking her to dinner? What about me?” Jenny asked together.
“All good. Dinner is on me, you two.” Kevin smiled.
“I’m not going to say no to a free meal. How about you, Lily?” Jenny looked at me.
“I’m afraid I don’t have time,” I declined.
“It’s tomorrow?” Kevin wasn’t giving up.
“I cannot say for sure.”
“Well, when are you free then?”
“Hard to say. My boss would sometimes give me work on my day off.” I gave him a dilemma look.
“Your boss really works you to the bone,” he grumbled.
“Shush! Mr. Walker is here,” Jenny whispered.
I looked over and saw Eric coming in with a man and a woman. At the same time, he looked at me.
