Gossip could be seen in the company's sales department every day, and Lavinia would look at it occasionally and then knew clearly that many words were innuendo accusing herself. She was not stupid, but she just didn't want to take these little things seriously.
She didn't expect to hear someone saying dirty words in front of her when she arrived at the company.
"I heard that Lavinia is going to change jobs just after getting rich? You see, once she got a rich boyfriend, she resigned from her job immediately. Was she not used to the life of the poor?"
Lavinia was just by their side. So they just pretended that they didn't see her at all.
She restrained her heart and went back to her workplace, only to find that someone had vacated her place, and all her stuff placed initially in it disappeared.
She hadn't resigned yet. Why was everything gone?
Lavinia stomped to Jack's office, and the bag slammed on his desk.
Jack was about to lose his temper when he looked up and saw that it was Lavinia.
The relationship between Lavinia and Chris had always been unclear. Then, a few days ago, Chris asked Jack to expel Lavinia, which made Jack ask people to pack Lavinia's stuff immediately for fear that he would mess with Chris.
"Lavinia, why are you so angry? Are you angry at Manager Chris and in a bad mood?"
Chris's assistant didn't say how the relationship between Chris and Lavinia was, so Jack didn't know whether he should be so kind to Lavinia.
"Jack, you have dismissed me. Now you have packed up my things. Do you think a woman like me is easy to bully, so you treat me like this?"
Jack was right about one thing. It was because of Chris that Lavinia could be angry with him.
When Lavinia came to the sales department, she did whatever John asked and never complained.
"Do you think that I wasn't angry with you? Jack, it was you who sent me to Chris. And then you have to bear the consequences. What do you think Chris will do to you if I say something to him?"
Lavinia didn't explain her relationship with Chris clearly to Jack. But, then, with the words "say something to him" alone, Jack suddenly understood what Lavinia meant.
Now Jack could do everything for her.
"Lavinia, we have worked together for so long. You and Manager Chris are now sweet and loving. It was me who introduce you to him, right? If I didn't do that, you won't be so rich and have enough money for your mother's operation, will you?"
Jack's meaning was clear enough.
"We have only worked together for so long. Please ask the manager to help sign the paper. Unfortunately, the resignation process has not been finished, and I can't get paid."
Jack was confused. Why Lavinia still had to care about the payment?
If she stayed with Chris, she would have unlimited money. So why she had to ask for the payment by herself now?
Despite that, though, Jack signed the words cleverly and resigned and let Lavinia go to the finance department to get the money.
Lavinia went through the formalities exceptionally smoothly, and Jack had paid more than 7, 000 wages to her account.
Jack sighed with some disappointment after seeing off Lavinia.
He thought he would have the chance to get close to Chris if he sent a woman to Chris.
Lavinia could be said to be Jack's bet. Who knew that he got nothing in the end and made Lavinia angry now.
This year was so unlucky for him.
Chris didn't go back to the villa yesterday. During the reception, there was something wrong with the foreign branch of the group, and he was anxious to let Chris go to the company to sign it. But, unfortunately, it was getting late when he was busy.
Lavinia went to bed early, and when he returned, he was sure to disturb the woman's rest.
So Chris just decided to rest directly in the company and continued busy with his work early the following day.
Until the assistant asked Chris if he wanted to have lunch, he realized it was already noon?
Chris sent no message.
This woman was so hard-hearted that she didn't even intend to ask him.
"Let Auntie make something to eat and pack it, and Lavinia will send it."
Chris finally found an excuse to meet Lavinia.
He suddenly wanted to praise his wit.
Before Lavinia returned, she received a phone call from Auntie, saying that Chris wanted her to send the lunch for him. She hurried home to get the insulation box. She didn't ask Chris why she suddenly wanted to eat at home, so she was busy sending lunch.
It was already 12:30 when it was delivered. After approving the last document, Chris Konev put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows wearily.
He used to sleep in the same bed as Lavinia. Even if he did something until dawn, he was not so tired. He didn't sleep next to her all night last night. Today, he was as if he had done manual work and had no strength all over his body.
Just as he was about to ask the assistant why the food had not arrived, there was a sound of footsteps outside the president's office.
"Manager Chris, the food has arrived."
The assistant, not Lavinia, came in with the meal, and the light in Chris's eyes dimmed.
"What about Lavinia? Didn't she bring food?"
Chris didn't care what the assistant would think about him. Without Lavinia, he was going to be crazy.
"Miss. Lavinia said that she was afraid of disturbing your work, so she left when she sent the food to me."
The assistant took a considerable risk to tell him the truth.
Boss, If you want to see Miss. Lavinia just calls her to come in.
It was a lovely lunch, but when it came to Chris's eyes, it suddenly lost its fragrance.
"Take all these meals down. I still have work to finish."
Chris shook his hand. He was not hungry but furious just now.
