Kay Forrest knew this woman was persistent, so he deftly changed the subject.
Indeed, as soon as he brought up Xavier, she really cald down.
In this regard, his eyes have always been sharp.
Back then, fifteen-year-old Faye Townsend had a crush on Hunter Warren.
The first ti she forcefully dragged him to hang out with those grown n, he noticed sothing off about Faye.
Although she vehently denied it due to shyness, a few days later, she ca to confess willingly.
Faye has never been able to keep secrets from him.
Back then, he strongly opposed the two of them being together, but eventually, they still ended up together.
The way this woman just looked at Xavier was also sowhat off.
And the wariness Xavier displayed when looking at her was problematic.
Normal relationships between n and won, especially colleagues, shouldn’t have the expressions they just had upon eting.
"Why aren’t you answering my question?"
Jane Quinlan pouted after a mont of silence: "Because your question is really strange, I don’t even know how to respond. Xavier and I are colleagues, why would there be any animosity?"
She was about to walk out as she spoke, "You go ahead and eat first, I’ll co back in after you’re done to take orders."
"Give a notice when you’re leaving, everyone must gather for dinner tonight, no one is allowed to ask for leave."
"What if soone really has sothing important?" She looked back at him confused, wondering why he was organizing a dinner out of the blue.
Why does he always have to be so tricky? Can’t he just keep things simple?
After a mont of thought, Kay Forrest said, "There are three situations where soone could ask for leave: those who want to submit a resignation letter, those with a death in the family, and those whose birthday it is."
Jane Quinlan glared at him: "You are really domineering and unreasonable."
Kay Forrest smiled and did not react.
After Jane Quinlan left, she walked to the center of the office and announced, "Sorry to interrupt. Director Forrest just inford that there will be a company-wide dinner tonight. Apart from those who wish to resign, those who have family ergencies, no one else can ask for leave."
As soon as her words dropped, a cheer erupted in the office.
Everyone seed very excited.
Since the new boss arrived, it seems like he’s always been providing benefits to everyone, how could they not be excited?
Was she the only one who didn’t normally want to attend a company dinner?
She sighed deeply, always feeling that Kay Forrest had ulterior motives for hosting the dinner tonight.
At noon, a few female colleagues used their break ti to plan a shopping trip for new clothes.
Jane Quinlan originally planned to join them, but Eden Howard was also going, so she chose to rest in the office instead.
Eden Howard is Xavier’s current girlfriend.
Their relationship has been made public, so everyone knows.
Unlike when she was with Xavier, who told her that their foundation in Anchester wasn’t stable yet; revealing their relationship too early could make it seem like their minds were not focused on their work.
Back then, Xavier’s reasoning seed very sound to Jane Quinlan.
She had just started working after graduating and always felt that getting into a relationship so soon was sowhat objectionable.
After all, the company hired her to work, not to engage in romance, marriage, and childbearing.
But now she realized it was all bullshit.
His reason for not making it public was just to keep his options open.
Seeing that she wasn’t going, Daisy Zenith, knowing her situation, also chose not to go.
They went together to eat lunch downstairs.
There was a ran restaurant below, where she most often solved her lunch.
Daisy Zenith ate quickly, finishing her small bowl of ran in no ti.
Jane Quinlan ordered a large portion and ate slowly because she was cautious of the heat.
Daisy Zenith wiped her mouth and tossed the napkin aside, saying, "You say you work with these two people every day, doesn’t it bother you?"
Jane Quinlan knew what she ant and shrugged nonchalantly.
Even if she cared, what could she do about it? It’s not like she could quit.
This was her first job after graduating from college, and she really liked it.
She had no intention of giving it up so easily.
Daisy Zenith shook her head, "That’s why I absolutely refuse to get involved in office romance, it’s just too ssy.
Young people nowadays break up at the drop of a hat. There’s no sense of responsibility.
If two people can really get married and have children, then it’s a happy ending for all; but if not...
Everyone is in the sa office, how are you supposed to interact after a breakup.
And most importantly, you and Xavier were classmates, graduates from the sa university."
