The Man's Decree novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Not Telling You

“Yes, that’s him! He has been courting me for years, but I’ve never fancied him!” Josephine was annoyed when Xavier’s name was brought up. “How about this? I’ll explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Chance myself. After all, Dragon Bay is the perfect place for retirement.”

“That’s not necessary. My parents are happy where they are now. Besides, they have neighbors accompanying them to pass the time. Perhaps we can talk about it sometime in the future,” Jared suggested.

Josephine nodded as she picked up her bag and walked toward the door. Suddenly, she turned back and said, “Don’t hesitate to tell me if someone bullies you, okay? If worse comes to worst, I can just fire Xavier.”

“Do you think there’s anyone capable of bullying me?” Jared smiled cheekily.

Amused by Jared’s sense of humor, Josephine left with a smile on her face. Who am I kidding? I watched Jared defeat Steven with my own eyes. Surely no one in this company could bully Jared.

Zayne rushed into the office as soon as Josephine stepped out. “Jared, what did Ms. Sullivan talk to you about?”

With a cold gaze, Jared answered, “I’m not telling you.”

Jared exited the office after that, leaving Zayne in absolute anger.

“Hey, Jared! Just because you collected a debt, that doesn’t mean you can disrespect me! I’m your manager!” Zayne screamed at the top of his lungs.

The rest of the staff gathered around Jared the moment they saw him coming out. They were all curious about the conversation Jared had with Josephine. To their dismay, Jared kept his mouth zipped.

Jared was busy compiling the documents on all the debtors throughout the afternoon. He then sent the documents to Tommy.

Just minutes away from getting off work, Xavier dropped by the sales department. His visit had unsettled the whole department because the employees were worried that he might order them to work overtime.
