Chapter 424: Chapter 216 What is Our Relationship Now?_4

Nowadays, young people are just so melodramatic; making such a fuss over a simple fall."

Kay Forrest curled his lips, "Manager Howard, it just so happens I need to discuss something with you, please wait for me in my office."

"Of course, Director Forrest," he nodded repeatedly and was about to move forward.

Just then, Kay lifted a leg and tripped Strong Howard.

In this position, his falling posture was strikingly similar to Jane Quinlan’s.

Except that he was taller than Jane, he didn’t hit his nose, but his chin was not lightly injured.

Seeing this, Kay Forrest stepped forward with feigned concern and asked, "Oh dear, Manager Howard, are you alright? I’m sorry, it was not intentional."

Strong Howard was covering his chin in pain, but he dared not say too much.

"No, no... no issues."

Eden Howard watched the scene in surprise, unable to comprehend why Director Forrest would help this unremarkable woman.

Even Xavier by her side was bewildered, what exactly was going on?

Kay Forrest looked over at Eden Howard’s desk: "Are you not comfortable with this desk? Do you want me to have someone find you a new one?"

Eden Howard quickly brushed off Xavier’s hand and gave a shallow smile with a shake of her head.

"No need, Director Forrest, I’m quite comfortable with this desk."

"I see your legs aren’t that long, the desk should accommodate them well.

It seems like this corridor is just too narrow; after all, it’s a main passage in the office, it’s better to keep it spacious.

Today, Jane Quinlan has taken a loss on behalf of everyone. I do not wish for such an incident to repeat with any of my staff."

As he spoke, he looked around and pointed to a corner, "There’s a spot over there, Xavier, help Eden move her desk there later."

Eden Howard bit her lip: "Director Forrest, I really didn’t do it on purpose, why should I change my seat?"

"I’ve made myself very clear just now.

Your eyes aren’t on the back of your head, and you cannot always be aware of your colleagues behind you.

If you continue to sit here, it may happen again in the future.

I know you didn’t mean it, and I understand how you feel, as I didn’t intentionally trip Manager Howard just now either.

So, next time, I will also be mindful to keep my long legs in check."

No sooner had he finished speaking than laughter spread around the room.

Kay Forrest curled his lips; with that, the matter was considered resolved.

He turned to look at Jane Quinlan, his expression turning serious as he raised his hand to pat her shoulder: "Go to the restroom and wash up before coming to my office."

Jane Quinlan bowed: "Thank you, Director Forrest."

Little Hua went with her, and as soon as they entered the restroom, Little Hua said indignantly, "Director Forrest let that woman off too easily with such a light punishment. I really want to smash her nose; it’s so infuriating."

Jane Quinlan disagreed with Little Hua, feeling that Kay Forrest had vented her anger in the greatest way possible without exposing his concern for her.

She pursed her lips and smiled, bending over to wash her face.

Little Hua gave her shoulder a pat, dissatisfied, "What are you grinning about?"

Jane Quinlan shook her head, "Nothing, I just think that Director Forrest is quite righteous. If he hadn’t come out just now, Manager Howard would have really bullied us."

Little Hua thought about it and nodded, "That’s true indeed."

When they returned to the office, Xavier was helping Eden move her desk.

Both ignored Jane Quinlan upon seeing her.

Jane Quinlan didn’t speak to them either, picked up her notebook, and went to knock on the door of Kay Forrest’s office.

Not long after, Strong Howard came out of Kay Forrest’s office, glancing coldly at Jane Quinlan before returning to his own seat.

Jane Quinlan pushed the door open and walked up to his desk, "Director Forrest, I’m here to report today’s work schedule."

Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows looking at her, crossed his arms on the desk interrupting her, "How’s your nose? No more problems?"

"It’s fine now."

"I’ve carefully considered what you said to me this morning. Since you don’t think our way of getting along works, then let’s try a different approach."

She frowned and looked at him, puzzled, "A different approach? What do you mean?"
