The Man's Decree novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Watch Your Tongue

Baffled, Jared went back to his table and continued eating.

Shortly after the lunch break, Jared sorted out the arrears. He planned to send the information over to Tommy and let him handle it. If the latter could not manage, he would then personally pay the debtors a visit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to do everything himself.

Just as he was doing so, there was a sudden commotion in the sales department. On the heels of that, everyone shot their gazes in the direction of the office and whispered among themselves.

That had Jared’s curiosity piqued, so he went over to Maria and asked, “What happened?”

Glancing at him, Maria uttered coldly, “Go back to your desk and do your work. Ms. Sullivan has just arrived. She hasn’t been here for some time, and no one knows why she’s visiting the sales department this time. Anyhow, she has now gone into the office. Stay on your toes, and don’t offend her lest you drag me into trouble!”

In response, Jared frowned slightly. “Ms. Sullivan? Josephine is here?”

At his question, everyone instantly cut their gazes at him. Maria shot daggers at him and snarled, “Are you sick of living? Ms. Sullivan isn’t someone you can address on a first-name basis! Don’t make any trouble for me!”

Everyone distanced themselves from him, afraid that they would be dragged into the mess if he said anything to offend Josephine.

“Hurry up and return to your work, Jared. Don’t talk nonsense anymore!”

Hilda dragged Jared back to his desk to resume his work.

Right then, Zayne was in his office with his eyes closed, planning to take a nap after having had some wine during lunch. When he heard the click of his office door, he did not open his eyes since he knew no one else would come over at such a time other than his subordinates.

Besides, the only person who dared to enter his office without knocking was Maria. If anyone else dared to do so, they would be reprimanded by him.

“You came at an opportune time, Maria. Come over and massage my temples for a bit. I’ve got a mild headache,” he murmured with his eyes closed.

As Josephine stared at the man, a layer of frost blanketed her face. “Are you asking me to massage your temples for you?”

When her words rang out, Zayne’s eyes popped open at once. The instant he saw Josephine standing in front of him and regarding him chillingly, his expression changed in the blink of an eye.

Thud!
