Chapter 406: Chapter 211 The Atmosphere Suddenly Became Awkward (2nd Update)_2

Jane Quinlan sighed, "Alright, alright, I’m already stressed out, can you not rub it in?"

"I’m just worried for you." Xiao Hua pouted, "It’s just you who doesn’t understand the urgency."

Jane Quinlan turned sideway to pull out her phone from her bag, which was vibrating.

She looked at it, saw that it was Kay Forrest calling, wiped her mouth, signaled Xiao Hua to be quiet, and then answered the call.

"Hello, Director Forrest," she said, pulling out a tissue to wipe her mouth again.

"Where are you?"

"Downstairs, eating ramen."

"Why didn’t you call me when you’re eating," came Kay Forrest’s reproachful voice over the phone.

Jane Quinlan felt it was unfair: "You didn’t ask me to call you."

"Didn’t I tell you last night when I invited you to dinner that it’s no fun eating alone, that’s why I asked you to dine with me.

I don’t care; it’s your treat for lunch today, bring back something to eat, consider this your punishment," he said.

He hung up after finishing his sentence.

Jane Quinlan heard the beeping tone on the phone, clenched her teeth, and glared, "Hello?

This jerk, why did he hang up?"

Xiao Hua pushed her a bit: "My goodness, Jane, are you crazy, how can you talk to Director Forrest like that, that tone... aren’t you afraid of being disliked and getting fired?"

Jane Quinlan looked at her: "He’s annoyed that I didn’t tell him I was eating."

"You’re his assistant, you’re supposed to commute with him anyway," smiled Xiao Hua.

"Is that so?" She felt confused, thinking she really wasn’t cut out to be an assistant.

"Obviously."

Jane Quinlan thought for a bit, then ordered another bowl of ramen and also packaged her own.

Since that was settled, she might as well go up and eat with him.

When she walked into his office carrying two boxes of ramen, Kay Forrest was clearly not pleased.

"Is this all you got for me?" He looked disdainfully at the large bowl of ramen, inwardly rejecting it.

He was a very down-to-earth person, but his taste in food was difficult...He had been picky since childhood.

"I don’t have as much money as you, so stop being picky.

It’s just a meal, you’re too fussy," she retorted.

She opened the box and broke the chopsticks for him, placing them in front of him.

"Try it, I’ve been eating at this ramen place for two years, the taste is still good.

I vouch for it with my integrity, just eat it and relax."

"Integrity? Are you sure that’s something you have?"

Jane Quinlan gave him a displeased look: "Hey, are you eating or not? Eating a meal has you ridiculing me, I’ve never seen anyone like you."

After speaking, she sat down and opened her own box of ramen to continue eating.

Seeing her enjoy her food so much, Kay Forrest picked up his chopsticks and gave it a try.

This is considered good taste?

Could his taste really be that different from hers?

She always enjoyed her meals, and sometimes, even when he had no appetite, watching her eat heartily would make him eat a bit more.

The dinner meetup place has been reserved by Kay Forrest himself.

Xiao Hua said these sorts of tasks should have been the assistant’s responsibility.

But Kay probably knew she wasn’t familiar with these things, so he did it himself.

He booked an entire floor in the bar.

Xiao Hua said this bar was one of the safest in Anchester, as the owner is the most famous lawyer in Anchester.

Regular troublemakers wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in this bar.

Jane Quinlan had counted the employees who didn’t have cars or couldn’t carpool.

Having gathered the data, Kay Forrest had several business cars from Skyward Group dispatched to transport everyone.

In the afternoon, everyone’s work enthusiasm was very high.

Jane Quinlan knew that they were all waiting to go to the party.

When it was time to knock off, a whole company’s worth of people set off together.

Jane Quinlan was originally supposed to take a business car, but Kay Forrest asked her to go with him instead.

Since she was an assistant, no one thought too much about it.

Seeing her getting into Kay Forrest’s Hector May car, planning to leave with Eden Howard, Xavier’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This Hector May... Wasn’t it the same car from last night?

Could it be that last night Jane Quinlan went to dinner with Director Forrest?

He scoffed coldly, thinking how arrogant Jane Quinlan seemed last night, but it turned out she went networking with the boss.

She really is a woman stubborn as a mule.

"Xavier, what are you thinking about, aren’t you going?" Eden Howard opened the car door and got into the passenger seat, seeing Xavier still standing there, she looked down and shouted unhappily.

At her voice, Xavier looked down and smiled while opening the door: "Let’s go, my dear."

After getting into the car, he affectionately raised his hand and tousled Eden Howard’s hair: "My darling seems to look a bit angry."

Eden Howard tilted her head slightly, impatiently said: "Stop it, let’s get going.

Didn’t you see that everyone else has already left?"

Xavier sullenly retracted his hand and started the car to leave.

Knowing that Eden Howard was angry, he spent the journey trying to coax and soothe her in various ways.

But Eden Howard’s expression showed no signs of clearing up.

Kay Forrest and Jane Quinlan arrived first, she looked up to see the name of the bar, Salsa Bar.

Seeing Kay Forrest heading inside, Jane Quinlan quickly followed him.

Soon after, a large group of colleagues from the company arrived one after another.

Kay Forrest told everyone to order whatever they wanted freely, not to be shy about what they want to eat or drink.

The colleagues in the company were all young people; some went dancing, some went singing, and they were having a great time.

Since her colleagues arrived, Jane Quinlan distanced herself a bit from Kay Forrest.

It was already after work hours and currently a party, she thought there was no need to shadow him like a creep.

Xiaohua kept her company for a while and then went dancing, leaving her alone in a corner, listening to the noisy surroundings while drinking beer.

Before long, Kay Forrest walked over and sat down beside her.

Jane Quinlan looked around, noticing that people were already casting their gazes their way.

It seems that wherever Kay Forrest is, it’s easier to attract people’s attention.

But Kay Forrest didn’t care about these, shaking a glass of juice in his hand he asked her, "Why aren’t you playing?"

"I’m not interested in these things."

"Then what are you interested in?" he asked while looking at her.

Jane Quinlan thought for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "I really don’t know what I’m particularly interested in."

She had just finished speaking, when Xiaohua’s shouting voice came from the other side: "Xiao Jian, I helped you choose a song, come sing!"

After Xiaohua spoke, someone in the crowd began to stir it up: "Xavier, why don’t you and Jane Quinlan sing your signature ’Today You’re Going to Marry Me’ together?"

As soon as this comment was made, applause erupted from the crowd.

Kay Forrest turned his head to look at her with an amused smile as if watching a show.

Jane Quinlan felt this was simply a disaster; her face clearly spelled out ’awkward’, couldn’t anyone see it?

When she originally sang this song with Xavier, they were sneakily getting close; emotions were in place, feelings were right.

But now... they practically wanted to tear each other apart, how could they sing a love song?

The crowd was full of cheers, everyone shouting her and Xavier’s names.

She didn’t move, and far away, Xavier also stood steadily next to Eden Howard without moving.

But his gaze had already fallen on Jane Quinlan.

Jane Quinlan looked towards him from afar as well.

He didn’t move, and she didn’t either.

The two seemed as if they were in a standoff, making the atmosphere suddenly awkward.
