NovelEnglishChapter 139 Grayson was pulling a long face and spoke in a deep voice, "Miss Lane, we're just giving sfriendly advice. Don't go too far." "Am I going too far? Even though you're powerful and influential, you're both too old to be pulling tricks like this. Please don't attempt to turn everything upside down." Anger surged in my heart, and I heard myself being rude. "Since you're unwilling to listen to our advice, you may leave. Don't blus for playing dirty after this." The expression on Grayson's face changed, and he spoke in an authoritative tone.
"Fine by me." Even though he looked scary, I had becimmune after dealing with Tyler and Theo for so many years. Scary men could no longer scare me.
I left the coffee shop right away. I was a little unsure about Grayson's threat. After all, his network of people was complicated. Still, I did not take the threat to heart.
Once I entered the company, Xander called. "Wandy, it's been a while since we last met. Would you like to joinfor lunch?" "No, I'm busy." I was in a bad mood, and my tone sounded annoyed.

Even if I'm not as rich, I'll make sure you can live a comfortable life." "Oh, by the way, where's your father?" What Xander said remindedof Petra. That woman was really something. She had several men swarming around her, and every one of them was rather impressive.
This topic caught Xander off guard. He kept quiet and took a while to respond. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?" "Nothing. I'm just curious." It was out of pure curiosity.
"Cover to my house. I'll make something for you to fill up your stomach. I'll satisfy your curiosity as well." "Never mind. I'm hanging up now. I still have work to d o." Then, I was about to hang up.
"Wandy, you seem to be treatingcolder and colder. I feel sad, unhappy, depressed..." Xander said in an aggrieved tone.
I held my forehead and thought that I had indeed been too tired to talk to people recently. I had not been keeping in touch with him as well. I said, "I'll treat you to a surf and turf dinner when I'm free." "You promised! I'll be waiting." I could hear the excitement in his voice like a child who got to eat candy.
After ssmall talk, I hung up the phone.
I entered the office and saw Heidi sitting there with a long face.
It was such a rare scene to find her behaving this way at work. I could not help but ask, "What's wrong? It's still early." "President Grant is personally following up with Xander's endorsement and the launching. I'm a bit worried," she replied sluggishly.
I answered her, "There's nothing to worry about. The preparatory work is almost done. Just do your part well, that's all." Theo must have his own consideration for not lettingbe in charge of this. It would be better if I did not ask. She nodded her head and did not say anything more.
Suddenly, I recalled seeing that man when I got off work yesterday. I said, "Did your boyfriend pick you u p yesterday? He's a good-looking man, he looks vibrant." "How... How do you know?" Heidi's expression changed all of a sudden. She looked nervous, and she was stumbling over her words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI shot her a glance. "Why are you so nervous? I'm not stealing your man. Yesterday when I got off work, I saw you get into his car, so I thought that he might be your boyfriend."
She then smiled atand said, "Wanda, I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid that my colleagues will dearm about this. You know how intense the competition is in Grant Corporation. Once they find out that I'm in a relationship, I'll definitely be ostracized."
Sure enough, it was hard for a woman to get into the workforce, rried women conce especially unmarried they knew that you were getting married and having a baby, you should not even hope to get promoted or receive higher pay. You would even be ostracized. Although Theo paid attention to the employee's welfare and the issue of feminism, the corporation was too big. He could not get everything sorted out bright and clear.
"Don't worry. Your performance is excellent. I won't let you down." I patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"Thank you, Wanda." She did not seem to be too happy and her smile was forced. I did not say anything more, and we both started to work.
I got busy with work and it was already noon when I looked at the ve! time. It was already 12:30 pm. M found it strange. Based on how Theo had been looking afterthese days, he should have already broughtout to lunch. My phone rang all of a sudden. I picked it up and saw that it was Mason.
I tapped on the answer button, and before I had the tto say anything, Mason spoke first, "Cdown now.
I'm waiting for you at the entrance." He sounded anxious and panicked. He was not as calm as he usually was. I could not help but becflustered. "What happened?"
