“I was the one who invited Hilda to attend a party with my colleagues, Mrs. Wallace. And I’m going to bring virtual-novel.net to my office for an interview tomorrow,” Jared hastily explained to Chloe.
“There’s no need for explanations! I’m not worried if you’re with Hilda. Even if you two spend the night outside, I’m not going to say anything!” Chloe remarked, staring at virtual-novel.net with a meaningful look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
That had embarrassment flooding Jared.
Oh my God, she’s just too bold in virtual-novel.net speech!
“What nonsense are you spouting, Mom?” Hilda flushed, and virtual-novel.net swiftly dragged Chloe away.
After taking a few steps, virtual-novel.net could not help glancing over virtual-novel.net shoulder at Jared. Following that incident earlier, virtual-novel.net love for virtual-novel.net had soared exponentially.

Early the following morning, Jared brought Hilda with virtual-novel.net to the office.
However, there was no sign of anyone, although it was already office hours. They waited for more than half an hour before the employees started coming to work, one after another. All of them had dark circles under their eyes, making it clear that they stayed up too late last night. As a result, they could not wake up on time that morning.
As for Zayne, virtual-novel.net only arrived a little after ten o’clock while yawning all the way. The second virtual-novel.net went into his office, virtual-novel.net made himself a cup of tea.
“Do you know what time it is now? Is this your usual attitude in working?” Jared questioned, pushing open the door to the man’s office and stalking right in.
The company belonged to Josephine, and in turn, it meant that it was his. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was naturally irked that all the employees were late to work.
Zayne was stunned for a moment before his temper spiked, and virtual-novel.net roared, “Who do you think you are, Jared? Don’t forget that I’m the manager here! Yet, you’re questioning me? You should know your place! Tch!”
As virtual-novel.net was bellowing, Maria walked in with Hilda. “What’s wrong? Why are you flying into a rage early in the morning?”
“Jared here doesn’t know his place that he’s actually telling me off for being late! What a joke!” Zayne curled his lips and declared, “Jared, your task today is to collect a third of your team’s arrears. If you can’t do that, you’ll have to work overtime!”
In other words, virtual-novel.net was using his position to establish his dominance over Jared so that the man would know his might.
Jared merely sneered before virtual-novel.net spun on his heels and strode out.
I’m going to collect all the arrears, not to mention a third of them! I don’t like it when others owe me money!
After virtual-novel.net had left, Maria asked Zayne to complete the onboarding procedures for Hilda and even had virtual-novel.net assign Hilda to virtual-novel.net team. It was evident that virtual-novel.net liked Hilda very much.
In reality, Maria was not a heinous person at heart. She merely had the demeanor of a wealthy heiress and looked down upon others. However, from virtual-novel.net attitude toward Hilda, one could tell that virtual-novel.net was not all evil.
After finalizing Hilda’s onboarding procedures, Zayne leaned back against his chair and nodded off. They enjoyed themselves into the wee hours last night, and virtual-novel.net had to wash his soiled pants after returning home, so virtual-novel.net only got to bed very late.
While virtual-novel.net was sleeping, Xavier pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Zayne was in a slumber, virtual-novel.net frowned slightly.
“Do you not know that you’re supposed to knock before coming in?” Zayne lambasted with his eyes still closed, awakened by the sound of the door opening.
He was the king in the sales department, so virtual-novel.net need not be afraid of anything.
Upon receiving no forthcoming response, virtual-novel.net opened his eyes. When virtual-novel.net saw Xavier glowering at him, virtual-novel.net was so petrified that virtual-novel.net fell off the chair.
“M-Mr. Jennings, w-why are you here?” Zayne wore a panicked expression on his face.
He rarely comes to the sales department, so why did virtual-novel.net suddenly show up here today!
Xavier merely shot virtual-novel.net a glare. Instead of dressing virtual-novel.net down, virtual-novel.net gazed out at the employees working outside through the window in the office. However, his gaze was fixated on Jared alone.
