Eric was surprised. “You… Won’t it be an inconvenience? It’s fine. I can wait for them to send it over… No need to force yourself.”
She shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s fine, it’s only a breakup. It’s not like we’ve turned into enemies. Why would this trouble me? I’m not worried. Don’t worry, I guarantee to finish the job. You’re the boss, you make the decision.”
Tiffany might have sounded confident when virtual-novel.net said those words, but when virtual-novel.net arrived at the ground floor of Jackson’s office, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel apprehensive. How was virtual-novel.net going to face him? She looked at the time on virtual-novel.net watch. There was half an hour left until the second half of the working day. Jackson should not be around at this hour so virtual-novel.net still had time to mentally prepare herself. She took a deep breath and walked in. Things were not going as smoothly as virtual-novel.net liked them to be. The elevator was still on the twenty-fifth floor so virtual-novel.net had to wait a while.
She pulled out virtual-novel.net phone and fiddled with it while waiting for the elevator. She put virtual-novel.net phone away when the elevator went ‘ding’. She looked into the elevator, it was empty. She sighed in relief. She could imagine how awkward it would be if virtual-novel.net ran into any familiar faces in the company.
Soon after, the elevator arrived on the designated floor. Once the elevator doors opened, virtual-novel.net quickly walked out. She had only taken two steps when virtual-novel.net came to an abrupt stop. There was a group of people standing outside the elevator, and the leader of the pack? Jackson! Based on their position, it looked like they were going downstairs to have a discussion in the meeting room. What were the chances that virtual-novel.net would come when they had their monthly staff meeting? How could virtual-novel.net have forgotten about that? During the meeting, the senior executives in the company would end their lunch breaks half an hour earlier than usual!
Her heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. There was a slightly sharp look in his eyes. He looked as high-spirited as ever. His finely-tailored suit fit his tall and straight frame. Even in a crowd, virtual-novel.net still held the spotlight. He was the most eye-catching of all. The silent indifference in his eyes reminded virtual-novel.net that there was no longer any connection between them. That was right. They used to be so close, but now they were like strangers. He no longer belonged to her.
She quickly regained virtual-novel.net senses and remembered what virtual-novel.net came here for. The monthly staff meeting would take two hours. She did not want to stay and wait for two hours. A signature would only take a few seconds. Hence, virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. West, if it’s not too much trouble, can you please sign this for me?”
Jackson turned away with a blank expression on his face. He did not even look at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net walked into the elevator and said, “Leave it with my secretary. I’m busy now. ”
Just as the elevator doors were closing, virtual-novel.net reached out and stopped it just in time. She had one hand on the door and one hand shoving the document toward him. “It’ll only take a few minutes. It’s not necessary for you to make me wait for two hours, right? I know your time’s precious, but I can’t come all the way here for nothing.”
Jackson put his hands in his pockets, seemingly to provoke her. He looked determined not to sign the document for her. “I’ve made myself very clear. I’m busy.”
He was doing this on purpose! Initially, virtual-novel.net had thought it would be emotional to see virtual-novel.net once again. He could at least pretend to be slightly upset or a little teary-eyed. That would have been better. Who knew virtual-novel.net would turn hostile instead? If anyone should be hostile, should it not be her?
At that moment, someone expressed their disapproval. “Tiffany Lane, it’s very dangerous to hold up the elevator like this. We’re in a rush. Stop causing trouble.”
