Chapter 174
“Mr. Hall, shouldn‘t you be accompanying your girlfriend? Why are you here bothering Lily? Lily is now our company‘s staff member, and she doesn‘t work for you anymore. If I were you. Mr. Hall, I would take care of my own affairs. You best be off before you lose something valuable.”
Jenny‘s condescending tone surprised Lily. What did she even mean by taking care of his affairs and losing something valuable? Nathaniel was also taken aback by Jenny‘s sudden mockery. He did not know her, so he did not know how to react.
“Ahh! I remember now. I wanted to tell you something!” After shutting Nathaniel up, Jenny finally remembered what she had wanted to tell Lily. Lily looked at her with curiosity. “What was it?” When Jenny was about to share her discovery, she noticed Nathaniel was still there. She turned toward him again. “Mr. Hall, don‘t you have something else to attend to? We‘re a little busy here, as you can see, so could you kindly leave?“.
Before Nathaniel could react, Jenny added, “If there‘s anything important you‘d like to tell us, please make an appointment at our head office. First of all, we‘re your competitors, and second, isn‘t it rude of you to eavesdrop on our company‘s confidential information?” Nathaniel was flabbergasted. When did he ever try to eavesdrop on their company‘s confidential information? He was just trying to talk to an old friend! Since Jenny was so forthright about disliking him, he would not continue to sit there and be insulted. After all, there was always a next time!
“I‘ll leave you ladies, then. Let‘s get together and chat another time, Lily,” he bid them farewell and stood up to leave.
“Haha,” Jenny laughed slightly as she took a sip of her lemon water, “Guess what I saw in the bathroom just now?”
Lily could only stare at her. She was getting to know a whole new Jenny. This lady, who was serious, efficient, and sometimes bossy at work, was just like any other woman when it came to spreading gossip.
