Besides, all employees were required to attend the celebration.
After seeing Vivian’s response, another female colleague chimed in, “We’ll go together!”
The two female colleagues had never hung out with Vivian before. Now that they finally got the opportunity, they couldn’t help feeling excited.
They only joined the company a few years after Vivian. Thus, Vivian was considered their senior.
“I’m sorry. I need to fetch my child, so I can’t go with you guys,” Vivian said apologetically.
She needed to make sure that her son arrived home safe and sound before she could attend the banquet at night.
It wouldn’t be much of a problem leaving Larry at home since the housemaid was there to take care of him. Besides, Larry was a good boy. She had confidence in him that he would behave well at home.
“Alright then.” The two colleagues were a little disappointed.
They were actually a little envious of Vivian when they heard from other seniors that her husband was the famous Finnick Norton – the president of Finnor Group before it changed hands.
Nevertheless, it was not the time to be jealous as they were not yet done with their job.
Soon they returned to their work at hand.
After leaving the office, Vivian picked Larry up at the kindergarten and brought him back home.
Since there was ample time before the banquet began, she ate some noodles with Larry and had a little chat with him. Then, she left the little boy in the hands of the housemaid before leaving.
On her way to the banquet, she felt something was off as restlessness crept onto her heart.
In the end, she thought it was her feeling nervous about attending a banquet for the first time after two years.
Vivian wore a black dress and exquisite makeup. She looked like a goddess, aloof and distant.
A lot of the new employees were stunned by her appearance. It was the first time they saw her dressing up.
Being in the center of attention, Vivian didn’t feel shy or out of place. Instead, she graciously smiled at the crowd.
