Chapter 365

She actually expected me to snatch Reynaldo back.

I patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Let’s just focus on working hard and earning our salary, and not think about those unrealistic things, okay?”

“You!” Melany pointed at my forehead with frustration, then went back to her seat to work.

The office was bustling; everyone was complimenting Kimberly and occasionally making a few sarcastic remarks about me.

I pretended not to hear and focused on making the report.

The time at work always passed quickly, and before I knew it, the day was over.

Thinking about having dinner with Quentin and my future sister-in-law later, I was feeling a bit excited.

I will get off work soon. I have to hurry up and go pick a gift for my future sister-in-law.

With a few minutes left before the end of the workday, I started packing up.

It was at this moment that Kimberly suddenly emerged from the president’s office, clapping her hands to quiet everyone down.

She said, “I have some good news to share with everyone. To celebrate the success of our business trip, Mr. Humphrey is going to treat all of us employees to dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant.”

“Wow, really? Is Mr. Humphrey really going to treat us to Michelin-starred restaurants?”

“Of course, this is something I personally applied for with Reynaldo.”

“Wow, Kimberly is still amazing.”

“Yes, that’s right. Come to think of it, Mr. Humphrey has never taken all of us employees out to dinner before. As soon as Kimberly mentioned it, Mr. Humphrey did. What does that tell you?”

“This shows how important Kimberly is in Mr. Humphrey’s heart; no matter what Kimberly says, Mr. Humphrey will agree.”

“Oh my goodness, Kimberly was truly a lucky star for our Secretariat, much better than that jinx.”

The God of Misfortune clearly spoke of me.

I pulled my lip, not paying attention.

Kimberly added, “The largest Michelin-starred restaurant in the south of the city. Remember to go there after work.”

“It was certain that we would go over as soon as we got off work.”

“Yes, we all went together. Kimberly, did you go with Mr. Humphrey?”

Kimberly smiled and nodded, then looked at me and said, “Esmeralda, you don’t have a car, right? Why don’t you come with me and let Reynaldo give you a ride?”

I was about to refuse.

Reynaldo suddenly came out of the president’s office.

The man’s complexion was always a bit gloomy, and his eyes and eyebrows also revealed a cold and hostile atmosphere.

As soon as he came out, the office fell silent.

Almost everyone dared not openly look at him, except Kimberly, who affectionately linked her arm with his.

“Reynaldo, I had already informed them, we are going to eat at Michelin-starred restaurants later.”

“Hmm!”

Reynaldo responded lightly and prepared to leave.

I hurriedly said, “Sorry, I can’t go.”

Reynaldo paused for a moment and looked at me coldly, “Do you always have to argue with people? Will you die if you don’t make things difficult?”

“No,” I said expressionlessly, “I have something to do after work.”

“Huh, what’s up?” Reynaldo sneered, exuding a strong sense of hostility.

He gave me an extremely cold look and then walked out of the office.

After he left, Kimberly hurriedly said to me, “Esmeralda, Reynaldo finally treated all the staff to a meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Everyone was so happy, why did you have to ruin the atmosphere?”

“Yeah, why was she acting like that?”

“I think she was just being malicious, trying to deliberately provoke Mr. Humphrey so that no one could enjoy Michelin-starred restaurants.”
