The embarrassment on Hunter's face was so obvious that almost everyone could notice it. The chairman called him as soon as he did that. He was so awkward but had nowhere to hide.
"Okay chairman, I'll go there immediately." Hunter replied respectfully.
Even though he was now the manager of the branch office of the group, he wouldn’t dare to defy the chairman's order, and he had to reply respectfully without any dissatisfaction.
What a rough day! Everything he wanted to do didn’t go well. Hunter cursed secretly in his heart.
He found that Casey was staring at him jokingly, thinking that his bad luck must be caused by Casey, who was the bane of his day.
Diana and Edith also felt a little bit embarrassed for Hunter. After all, he was talking boastfully just now, and now he had to rush to the chairman immediately after a phone call. The contrast was kind of funny.
However, neither of them spoke out, leaving Hunter some dignity.
"Well, our chairman is looking for me for an emergency, so I can't stay with you today. I will pay the bill later; just feel free to enjoy the meal without me." Hunter said with a guilty conscience.
"If you have something to do, just go first." Diana said, and Edith also nodded.
"Oh? Didn't you just say that nobody would urge you even if you don’t go to work?" Casey interjected at this moment.
Hunter's face turned blue suddenly, thinking that Casey must be saying that on purpose. He was definitely making him embarrassed deliberately.
If it weren't for the chairman to call him, he would definitely stay and play the game with Casey.
"It's our chairman who is looking for me. Something important needs to be handled. Normally this is not the case." Hunter still explained.
"Oh." Casey said coldly.
If Hunter had known that Casey was annoyed at him, so he asked Charles to make him away, he might have vomited blood on the spot in anger.
"You can just shut up. The monitor is the manager of a company after all. You are a vagrant and you let women pay for you. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?" Diana said contemptuously.
Hunter agreed with Diana's words very much, and he also had contempt for Casey.
He did not talk to Casey again, but turned to look at Edith, and said, "Edith, you should go to the class reunion two days later. Many classmates miss you and say that they want to see you there."
Edith nodded and said, "Well, I will try my best to go there.”
Hunter saw Edith agreed, so he got up to pay the bill, and then left here.
Seeing that Hunter was gone, Diana turned to look at Casey and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey! Hunter invited you to dinner out of kindness, and you said that deliberately to embarrass him."
"I'm just telling the truth." Casey said lightly.
"Huh, I think you are just jealous of him, because you are afraid that he will win Edith’s heart from you." Diana pouted.
"You mean him? I'm afraid he's not qualified enough." Casey was indeed very serious this time.
"Stop, you don't even blush when you tell lies. I think you can do nothing except bragging. Edith said that your voice is a bit like my prince charming back then. Now I think you can't even compare with a single hair on my prince charming’s legs." Diana said angrily.
Casey didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry, and it was a little strange to hear Diana compare himself with himself.
