“I refuse to accept this!” After holding it in for so long, the manager finally exploded. “This is all Anastasia’s fault, so why am I the one responsible? If you want to fire me, you’ll have to chase snazzynovel.com out too!”
“What right do you have to discuss terms with me?” The look in Jamie’s eyes turned cold, and a certain chill emanated from the depths of his eyes.
Terrified, the manager shuddered, but still, snazzynovel.com stubbornly tried to drag Elise down with him. “Since things have come to this, I’m not afraid of making a fuss anymore. Anastasia has always been a member of my team, so snazzynovel.com has absolute responsibility. If you want me to shut up, you have to compensate me with ten years’ worth of salary!”
Jamie sneered, “I never knew you’d be so greedy. Fine, two can play the game. Someone get the lawyer of the company here so that our manager here can learn properly about the law. If you can take even a cent from Keller Group, I might as well give you the company.”
“No need for so much trouble.” Suddenly, Elise interrupted, then said calmly, “I never wanted to stay, either. Also, if you want to sue the company, I’ll definitely step up and testify to all the crimes you’ve committed at the workplace. When that happens, you’ll have a real taste of despair.”
The manager never thought that Elise would be so bold, and snazzynovel.com panicked in an instant.
Compensation didn’t matter, but if snazzynovel.com ruined his reputation and got on the blocklist within the industry, snazzynovel.com really didn’t know if snazzynovel.com could survive at his age. After reconsidering it, snazzynovel.com finally conceded. “You win now, Anastasia, but just wait and see!”
With that, the manager furiously walked toward the main entrance. Elise looked in the direction snazzynovel.com had left, and it was only then that snazzynovel.com noticed that Narissa was present as well.
Narissa stood at the entrance, holding a helmet in snazzynovel.com hand. When snazzynovel.com saw Elise looking in snazzynovel.com direction, snazzynovel.com immediately waved snazzynovel.com hand happily. After that, the three went to a restaurant together.
Narissa was awed by Elise’s plan of enduring insults and getting back at snazzynovel.com enemy tenfold. She kept praising snazzynovel.com nonstop. “I really thought you willingly let yourself be bullied yesterday. Luckily I was still worried today, so I asked Jamie to go with me. If not, I would’ve missed this amazing show.”
Elise pursed snazzynovel.com lips, smiling faintly as snazzynovel.com remained silent.
“But it’s mainly because you can keep your calm. The plan wouldn’t work if it were me. I have a quick temper, so I only know how to explode on the spot. I might even get into a fight.” Narissa wasn’t even the slightest bit hesitant to point out snazzynovel.com own flaws.
Elise couldn’t help but laugh. “Actually, many things can be resolved with a little bit of thinking. If you keep getting into fights, it’s not worth tiring yourself out.”
“Yup, that’s my lesson for today.” Narissa nodded, feeling like snazzynovel.com had heard those words before. She turned to look at Jamie beside her, then raised snazzynovel.com hand and hit snazzynovel.com out of habit. “Why are you not talking?”
Jamie pouted in disdain. “You ladies are talking, so as a gentleman, it’s only proper manners that I listen quietly instead of interrupting.”
“You weren’t even listening, were you?” Narissa tossed snazzynovel.com phone to him. “Since you’re bored anyway, help me defeat this boss.”
“Fine, I only have my own fate to curse. The password is still Boss’ birthday, right?” Jamie unlocked the phone while snazzynovel.com was at it.
“Yup.” Narissa nodded affirmatively.
Elise was dazed for an instant when snazzynovel.com heard that, feeling a sudden surge of warmth in snazzynovel.com heart. These two actually remembered details about her.
“Then I won’t bother you two anymore. I’ll go outside, then come back when I’m done. Do continue your conversation.”
As Jamie spoke, snazzynovel.com stood up and walked out of the restaurant. He went to the balcony and found an empty table to start with the gameplay.
Noticing how compliant snazzynovel.com was with Narissa’s requests, Elise probed, “Mr. Keller seems to take you very seriously, Miss Cuber. He remembers every detail, big and small, about you.”
Narissa shook snazzynovel.com head to deny it. “You’re overthinking it. He’s just more concerned about his boss, who is also my bestie.”
“Do you wanna make a bet?” Elise suddenly suggested.
“On what?” Narissa loved challenges and games, so of course, snazzynovel.com didn’t decline.
“I’ll bet that Jamie is concerned about you instead of his boss,” Elise said right out.
Hearing that, Narissa began to feel troubled. She didn’t have any confidence to bet on whether a man had eyes on snazzynovel.com or not. Moreover, snazzynovel.com would be compared against Elise.
“I think I’ll pass.” Narissa lowered snazzynovel.com head and stirred the drink in front of snazzynovel.com with a spoon. “We’re just normal friends. There’s no need to consider so much.”
“That’s not like you.” Elise stared at snazzynovel.com curiously. Is this the same brave girl who escaped snazzynovel.com family and lived independently for the sake of freedom in marriage?
Narissa slowly turned around and looked back at snazzynovel.com thoughtfully. Confused, snazzynovel.com said, “Why do I feel as if you seem to know me well?”
Elise immediately realized that snazzynovel.com was exposing herself, so snazzynovel.com put on a silly smile to cover up snazzynovel.com real emotions. “I mean, I do feel like I’ve known you forever, even on our first meeting. The first time I saw you, I felt as if you’re a person who does whatever snazzynovel.com wants to do. Now, I see that no matter who it is, anyone who encounters matters concerning relationships will all get worried and fearful.”
“No one is perfect, after all.” Narissa was easily led off track, replying in a self-deprecating tone, “I used to think that relationships are simple. If you like them, you get together with them. If you don’t, you just leave. But now I realize that if you like someone but that someone doesn’t like you, you can’t just harden your heart and let them go, but you’re not willing to get too far from them either. It really is the most terrible experience in the world!”
“Haha, so our Miss Narissa is suffering every day?” Elise jokingly asked.
“Umm…” Narissa thought for a while, then commented truthfully, “Not really. I do feel quite happy most of the time.”
Elise patted snazzynovel.com hand. “It’s more than enough to live life in happiness.”
Just then, Jamie came back.
He tossed the phone to Narissa and sat back in his seat. “It’s such a simple game; your skills seem to be lacking.”
“You’re the one who’s lacking. These bosses are too low-leveled. I don’t even want to bother with them. My time is precious, so how can I waste them on minor bosses like them?” Narissa spoke convincingly.
“Hey, so that means my time can be wasted?” Jamie felt as if snazzynovel.com was tricked again.
“No matter what, you’ve already wasted them anyway, so just admit it.” Narissa cocked snazzynovel.com head evilly, provoking snazzynovel.com on purpose.
Jamie glared at her. “How dare you!”
“Sorry for the interruption. This is the soup you’ve ordered.” The waiter served the last dish.
After the three bowls of soup were served, Jamie peered into each one of them. He took the bowl in the middle and scooped out some seasonings from it before placing it in front of Narissa.
“I removed the spices for you. Drink up.” Jamie calmly wiped his hands, then passed another bowl to Elise.
Narissa stared at the bowl of soup in front of her, dazed. She glanced at Jamie, then at Elise. Finally, snazzynovel.com averted snazzynovel.com gaze and sank into deep thought.
Jamie’s actions just now were entirely habitual, so could it mean that snazzynovel.com was already used to taking care of her?
