"What are you staring at? Get out of here now.
I get annoyed seeing an employee like you with no ambition, out!"
Jane Quinlan turned and left.
Her eyes brimming with large tear droplets.
This was the first ti in her work, no, in her life, that she had been cursed at so harshly.
She really felt like her entire worldview was being turned upside-down.
Leaving Annie’s office was different from when she had entered.
Everyone in the assistant’s office was looking at her.
She was so ashad she wished she could crawl into a mouse hole.
She hurriedly walked several steps and left the assistant’s office.
Once outside, her tears fell in aggrieved streams.
Upon returning to the advertising departnt, she pushed the door and entered Nolan Moore’s office.
Nolan Moore looked up with a frown when he heard the commotion.
Seeing her standing at the door, looking at him indignantly, he put down his pen and looked at her seriously.
"What are you looking at like that for?"
"Nolan Moore, are you for real?"
Nolan Moore was utterly perplexed: "Are you out of your mind, what is it with you?"
"I argue with you and you go tattling to Manager Qu, you are really despicable and petty.
Can’t you resolve whatever issues you have with directly?
Telling Manager Qu just so she can scold makes you happy does it? Nolan Moore, how exactly have I offended you?
Do you even let people live in peace?
If you really want out of the company, why not just have them fire ?
Could you please stop tornting , you beast."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Nolan Moore was baffled, this woman, has she lost her mind?
But thinking about what she just said, did Manager Qu say sothing to her?
He got up and went to the office door, and just as he opened it, he saw her wiping away tears.
Seeing him co out, Jane Quinlan quickly wiped away her tears pretending to be strong and didn’t even give him a glance.
"What’s wrong, what did Manager Qu say to you?"
Jane Quinlan took a deep breath: "I don’t want to talk to you, please disappear from my sight."
"I ca over here out of kindness to comfort you, are you going to keep freaking out?
What exactly did she say to you?"
"Save your fake sympathy for soone who’ll buy it, I’m not falling for that."
Jane Quinlan flipped the materials over: "Respectful Director Moore, please leave the front of my desk, I need to get busy."
Nolan Moore gave her a look and couldn’t be bothered with her.
An hour into overti, Nolan Moore saw that Jane Quinlan was still busy when he stepped out of his office.
Looking at her head down, silent deanor, he thought for a mont and said: "This docunt is not that urgent.
Continue sorting it out tomorrow, you can leave for today."
"No need, I’ll sort it out today.
So I don’t get stabbed in the back again."
Nolan Moore saw her like this, snorted coldly, and walked away.
After he left, Jane Quinlan wrote ’Nolan Moore’ on a piece of white paper and started furiously crossing it out, jerk.
Nolan Moore called Evie Larkin as he arrived at the underground parking lot.
"Are you still at the company?"
"I left an hour ago, just got ho and changed clothes, are you heading out?"
"Not yet, about to get in the car.
Wait a bit for , we’ll go together."
"No need, since I’m inviting you to dinner, of course, I should prepare in advance.
You’re the guest today, just co over and enjoy a big al."
Nolan Moore laughed: "Alright, I’m looking forward to it."
He didn’t go directly to her place, but first went to a mall to buy a necklace, and then bought a bouquet of flowers.
By the ti Autumn Larkin got ho, it was already seven o’clock.
Evie Larkin made three simple dishes.
Pan-fried two steaks, mixed a vegetable salad, and stir-fried a serving of spaghetti.
The pastries were ready-made ones she bought from a store on her way ho.
Those were sothing she definitely couldn’t make.
As soon as Nolan Moore entered, he presented flowers and a necklace.
Evie was pleasantly surprised: "Do you really have to be this nice? I invite you for a humble ho-cooked al and you bring gifts."
"Is that so? Are you sure it’s not just because you’re too easily moved?"
After entering, he went to the dining table: "Not bad, it all looks quite good."
"Co on, sit down and try it, give a score."
After Nolan Moore sat down, Evie turned around to open a bottle of red wine.
"This red wine was given to by old man Kay before the year started, I’ve been sparing it this whole ti.
Just in ti for you coming back this year, you can taste it with ."
He brought the glass to her: "Delighted to."
After Evie sat down, the two clinked glasses.
Nolan tasted the wine: "Hmm, not bad, great wine."
"Of course it’s good, it’s from old man Kay.
Now I’m looking forward to the score you’ll give my cooking."
Nolan cut a piece of steak and tasted it, nodding: "Hmm, out of ten, you get an eight."
"I was hoping for a ten."
"I’d only give a steak at a Chinese hotel a nine."
After Nolan said that, Evie smiled: "Then I’m very happy."
"Oh right, I wanted to ask you sothing.
When you ca back today, did Annie ask you anything?"
"Director Annie?" Evie thought for a mont, "She asked about our trip to Beijing, why do you bring her up?"
"She didn’t ask anything about Jane Quinlan?"
Evie shook her head, "No, what’s up?"
"Nothing, just that today Jane was summoned to Annie’s office for a scolding."
"Ah?" Evie showed great surprise: "Didn’t you say anything in front of Director Annie?"
"I don’t have any personal relations with Annie; we don’t even interact much for work."
Evie nodded in understanding.
But then, as if she rembered sothing, gasped.
"Oh no, Nolan, rember I bought a gift for Director Annie?
When I went to give her the gift, I told her that Jane is really nice.
Easy to get along with.
I quite like her.
I also said that the two of you got along very well, like friends, fooling around and playfully bantering.
Do you think... Manager Annie might have misunderstood what I ant by fooling around?
Nolan, you know, I didn’t an anything by it, I just...
Oh no, now it’s a ss, it’s all my fault Jane got scolded.
I have to call Jane and explain."
"No need," Nolan Moore interrupted her: "No one would appreciate your explanation anyway.
If Kay Forrest found out about it, he might think you did it on purpose.
He’s been acting almost obsessed with protecting Jane lately.
You should just pretend you don’t know about this from now on.
I believe Annie wouldn’t be foolish enough to say such things to Jane for no reason."
Evie hesitated for a mont: "But I would feel so guilty."
"Maybe it has nothing to do with you, perhaps Annie just wanted to pick on her.
Anyway, you should listen to on this and let it go."
Hearing Nolan say this, Evie could only nod reluctantly.
She’s getting scolded just like that? Her tough days are far from over, huh.
