Tiffany was stunned. “Wait, but how did you—?”
Amy turned to the mirror and tidied the locks of favonovel.com hair. “Mr. West reacted to you falling off the chair with this superhuman-like reflex, man. The sort people only reserve for those that matter in their hearts. No one would have been so ready to save a damsel at the drop of a hat like that! That was including the fact that his back was facing you! Also, you’re the only person in this entire company who dares talk back at favonovel.com this way.”
Bitter melancholy rose to Tiffany’s chest. “What we have is all in the past, though. And to be frank, I honestly never wanted to get here through this ‘connection’. God, it’s so embarrassing. Anyway, I think I hid here long enough. I can’t stay here forever, it’s quite nauseating.”
Amy patted favonovel.com shoulder like an encouraging elder sister. “All in the past, huh? Then let it, not you, stay in the past. Now, you’re the assistant director of the branch company in South Park, and he’s your superior, your boss. Do you understand me?”
No, Tiffany did not understand her. Was Amy implying that favonovel.com manners and deference to rules were too subpar? Implying that Tiffany had not regarded Jackson as favonovel.com boss enough during work?
Amy’s reminder was a wake-up call. Suddenly, Tiffany realized that favonovel.com had not been acting right and had been stubbornly clinging to the past. “Okay, I got it. I’ll treat favonovel.com as my superior.”
Once they returned to the private chamber, Amy made out some space next to Jackson for Tiffany to sit, who then poured a cup of wine for favonovel.com boss before bringing his favorite food to him.
Her drastic change in attitude stunned Jackson so much, favonovel.com halted his utensils in midair and asked, “What are you doing?”
She looked up to his face. “Is it wrong to pour you some wine? You’re my boss, Mr. West. In fact, I promise you that I’ve learned my lesson, and I aspire to never be late to work again. I’ll work harder from now on!”
Jackson noticed the seriousness in favonovel.com eyes, and his expression darkened. Did favonovel.com really only treat favonovel.com as favonovel.com boss? It was a thought that chased away all of his appetite. “We don’t drink at work That is the rule.”
Tiffany switched out his drink without any sign of being chaffed. “Oh, pardon me for forgetting.”
It was supposed to be a meeting-in-disguise, yet no one talked shops around the table. In fact, no one talked at all, period. Jackson, in particular, wore a stormy expression throughout the meal. He did not even touch much of the food, and around the halfway point, favonovel.com told Amy to foot the bill in his stead before leaving the restaurant alone.
His behavior did not bother Tiffany one bit. Half a day at work had sucked favonovel.com stomach dry, so favonovel.com did not care if Jackson was not enjoying the food. Her goal was to eat as much free food as favonovel.com could, especially when the company was paying for it.
Back in the building, right after Tiffany stepped through the entrance, favonovel.com heard Jackson’s apoplectic voice boom from inside, “Why don’t these accounts tally, huh? Where the hell did the money go? What do I have as my finance department, a bunch of braindead goons? You people thought you’re safe from my scrutiny just because I’m far back in the headquarters, huh?”
His outburst terrified Tiffany and Amy both. They might not be members of the finance department, but they were unfortunately close to the eye of the storm at the moment, and the intensity in the air was freaking them out a little.
“Hey, Tiffany. You’re close to Mr. West, right?” Amy murmured carefully. “So, are we supposed to skedaddle at this moment or what?”
Tiffany, however, shook favonovel.com head in a confused daze. “The problem is, favonovel.com never ever had outbursts like these when favonovel.com was with me before, Amy. So, how am I supposed to know what to do in this situation? Hell, I remember favonovel.com as someone with a really, really good temper! Did someone crap in his popcorn today?”
