NovelEnglishHans observed their interaction, and with a bit of annoyance in his voice, said over the phone, "You need to find some time to get your act together." It took forever to report these minor issues, and he had to listen to his opinion on every single one.
Julian was a bit confused. Was his boss dissatisfied with his work? But these were significant issues, and he had to hear his boss’ feedback before he dared to handle them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was up with the boss today? He seemed seriously bummed out.
After President Jay finished his speech, it was the company's second-largest shareholder to take the stage. He also paid some lip service, but his words were laced with stings. Molly was left speechless.
Then, the lights at the entire venue dimmed, and brilliant fireworks filled the night sky.
Watching the alternating lights and shadows on the harmonious silhouettes of the two, Hans could no longer hold back. He told the person on the phone, "Let's call it a day. You handle the rest.” "Boss?" Julian hand not quite caught on when he heard the busy tone at the other end.
Hans pocketed his phone and walked towards the two he had left before. As he got closer, he noticed that only Jaime was alone.
"Where's Molly?" Hans asked with a hint of gloom in his voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaime seemed puzzled. "She went to the restroom.” The sound of the fireworks was too loud, and it was dark. Hans couldn't find that figure. He waited around until the fireworks show ended, and the lights came back on, but Molly had not returned.
So, Hans made his way through the crowd towards the restroom.
"Hans." At that moment, a woman tried to flirt with him, but he dodged her.
This woman was a minor shareholder of the Cooper Group, and she had taken a liking to Hans from the moment he made his appearance tonight. "Hi Hans, I'm Joanna, a shareholder of the Cooper Group. | really like you; it was love at first sight. Do you have a girlfriend? If not, do you think I could be your girl?" At 24, Joanna considered herself young and attractive, and she spoke with confidence. But Hans simply said, "I already have one." Without giving her a second glance, he headed towards the restroom.
Joanna stood still, in disbelief. Hadn't the rumor been that Hans was single, a cold-hearted workaholic? When did he get a girlfriend? Who was she? How did she win him over? Why hadn't there been any news? Just as Hans reached the restroom, a lady came out. He politely asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone else inside?" The woman looked confused at his question, and after a moment, she blushed and replied, "No, it was just me." Hans didn't understand why she was blushing. He took out his phone to call Molly, but her phone was off. He planned to check the outdoor banquet hall to see if the young girl had returned. As he was passing by the fire exit, he suddenly heard someone say, "That little bitch is done for today." Hans pushed open the fire exit door and saw a few men coming up. One of them even kicked a high heel that was lying on the stairs to the side. That high heel was the one Molly was wearing tonight.
Hans immediately grabbed one of them by the collar and demanded, "Where's Molly?" The other two, who hadn't been grabbed, turned around and saw that it was Hans. They were scared shitless and ran down the stairs!
