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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmused 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.
“Hi, Mr. Jennings!” Zayne rushed to greet him.
Xavier scanned the floor before purposefully gazing at Jared. He then said to Zayne, “Mr. Carlson, due to
the exemplary performance of your department, I’d like to buy everyone dinner. Make sure everyone will
be there. The venue is Vintage Restaurant.”
Xavier turned to leave after making the announcement while Zayne stood rooted to the spot.
Surprised, Maria walked toward Zayne and asked, “Did Mr. Jennings just say he wants to buy us dinner?
Not only that, but he also complimented our performance?”
Zayne was equally startled. He nodded and wondered out loud, “What has gotten into Mr. Jennings
today? Is he all right?”
Truth be told, Xavier had never treated them to a meal before. Furthermore, Zayne was constantly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlambasted for debt collection issues during corporate meetings. The former’s sudden change of attitude
caught everyone off guard.
“Mr. Carlson, isn’t that good news? Why are you still standing there like a lemon? Quickly let the others
know!” Lydia was very excited upon hearing the announcement.
“Oh! You’re right!” Zayne regained his senses and informed the others hurriedly before any of them leave
the building. Mr. Jennings said to make sure that everyone will be there!
“Listen up, everyone! Mr. Jennings is very pleased with our performance. Hence, he’d like to invite all of
us for dinner. He explicitly said that everyone in our department must be there.”
The staff started cheering upon hearing that. “Wow! Vintage Restaurant? That’s awesome!”
“That’s one of the best restaurants in Horington! It’s as famous as Glamor Hotel!”
“What’s with Mr. Jennings’ sudden act of generosity?”
“I have to go touch up my makeup! I must look my best for Mr. Jennings!”
Suddenly, everyone was rushing to get themselves ready for dinner. The ladies stormed the washrooms
to freshen themselves up.
