Chapter 741
"Shush." Yolanda King put a finger on her lips.
Irene frowned when she saw who it was. "What are you doing?"
What was Yolanda being so hushed about?
She could just say it directly, whatever it was-why drag her to this quiet place? Irene almost thought it was a villain.
"I'm worried we'd be seen!" Yolanda grinned. "Anyway, I just wanted to thank you."
Irene straightened her clothes and asked, "What for?"
Yolanda actually felt awkward just then. "You know what for. N
Irene actually did not. "I'm going if you won't say it."
"Oh, don't be in such a hurry!" Yoland exclaimed, catching her.
"It's work hours," Irene said flatly.
Yolanda smiled in embarrassment. "Well, it's for you not to reveal that it was me last night. I know you did that for my sake."
Irene brushed nonexistent dust off her clothes. "It's nothing. Having one person being ostracized in the building is more than enough, and the rest of you would at least be able to get along. The big picture, right?”
There was further meaning in her words, and Yolanda naturally understood.
She was certainly chagrined-they had ostracized Irene from the start.
Irene was also right that everyone should get along for the sake of the big picture.
Moreover, most who just joined Hotmesh Complex usually showed a messiah complex, thinking that they could save the world, but reality always proved that it was not that easy.
"We actually have solidarity."
"I think so too." Irene smiled faintly. "And that we can carve a bright future going forward, hand-in-hand."
Yolanda changed her opinion toward Irene ever so slightly then.
Irene was not worthless, and she endured everyone's harassment without getting back at anyone despite having every right as the next director.
"Alright, I won't impose now. You should go."
"Don't slack off on working hours now," Irene joked.
