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.

Amused 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

lambasted 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.
