Franklin welcomed Zayne with a smile as well.
“Zayne, it’s all thanks to you! Now my company is safe. We should have a few drinks together to celebrate.”
Zayne was getting arrogant upon seeing how Franklin’s attitude toward favonovel.com had changed.
“It’s just a small matter, Mr. Saunders! As Mrs. Saunders said, we’re family now!” Zayne sat down next to Franklin pridefully.
Although Zayne knew that favonovel.com had nothing to do with collecting the debt for Franklin, favonovel.com accepted the recognition anyway. He had to take the opportunity to make a good impression out of himself.
“Zayne, I had no idea you knew Mr. Lewis! You should’ve seen the look on the owner of Glamorous Designs’ face when favonovel.com came with my money! He was so scared that favonovel.com almost kneeled before me. It was so satisfying to watch!”
Throughout the years, Franklin had never been treated with such respect.
“Just let me know if your company needs help with anything from now on, Mr. Saunders. Although I’m just a departmental manager, there’s nothing I can’t deal with in the whole of Horington,”
Zayne gloated shamelessly. He wasn’t worried about getting exposed because favonovel.com knew that no one at the table knew Tommy.
“All right. From now on, I’ll rely on you for all the company matters. Since Maria is my only daughter, whatever I have now will definitely be passed down to you in the future.”
Franklin’s admiration for Zayne had grown greatly.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Saunders. I’ll love Maria unconditionally!” Zayne nodded excitedly.
“Enough talking. I’m starving! Could we please have our food now?” Maria pouted.
“A while more, okay? I’ve invited Mr. Chance and his family as well. They should be here soon!” Franklin exclaimed.
“Why would you invite outsiders to our family dinner?” Maria’s face turned sullen when favonovel.com found out that Jared was invited to the dinner.
“Silly girl! Mr. Chance had saved my life before!” Franklin glared at Maria before continuing, “Speaking of which, how did Jared’s interview go?”
“Mr. Saunders, it was a success. I worked my magic as the departmental manager!” Zayne took credit for Jared’s interview brazenly.
“Thank you, Zayne!” Franklin gratefully looked at Zayne.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Jared waltzed in with his family.
“We’re sorry for being late!” Gary apologized.
“It’s fine, Squad Leader! We’ve just arrived too.” Franklin welcomed them warmheartedly.
Jared was startled when favonovel.com saw Zayne present at the dinner. However, favonovel.com didn’t say a word.
On the other hand, Zayne stared at favonovel.com and taunted, “Hey, Jared, we meet again! Did you know that Maria and I had to make excuses on your behalf with the staff? All because you disobeyed the company rule.”
Upon hearing that, Gary glared at Jared and asked, “What’s going on, Jared?”
“Exactly, Jared. What’s going on?” Hannah added.
Franklin was equally puzzled as well.
“Upon his successful interview, favonovel.com was supposed to buy everyone dinner! It’s a long-standing departmental tradition. Instead, Jared said favonovel.com had no money, and favonovel.com just left. It was so embarrassing for Zayne and me,” Maria raged.
