Chapter 516: Chapter 245 New Leader Arrives, Jane Quinlan Caught in the Crossfire_3

She simply lowered her gaze towards the side exit.

Nolan Moore’s eyes deepened as he shifted his gaze away.

"Alright, that’s all I have to say.

I heard that Director Forrest’s previous assistant was Miss Jane Quinlan, right?

Until my new assistant arrives, you’ll come with me to the office first."

Jane Quinlan exhaled, a new assistant?

What does that mean, is she being demoted?

After pondering for a moment, she still walked in.

As Jane Quinlan followed Nolan Moore to his office, murmurs immediately spread around them.

Xiaohua sat at her desk, puzzled about what was happening.

Didn’t Director Forrest say he would arrange a good supervisor for her?

Why did the new person start targeting Jane Quinlan as soon as he took office?

After entering the office, Jane Quinlan gently closed the door and stepped forward: "Director Moore."

"Miss Quinlan, I heard that you are Director Forrest’s girlfriend, is that right?"

Hearing Nolan Moore ask this, Jane Quinlan understood that the earlier phone call was indeed meant for her to hear.

This made her truly furious inside.

"Director Moore, I am indeed Kay Forrest’s girlfriend.

However, I don’t think it’s necessary for Director Moore to set rules for me before even understanding what kind of person I am.

Work is work, and personal is personal; I will not confuse the two."

Nolan Moore curved his lips into a hook, quite a fiery temper.

No wonder Kay likes her.

"Good, then nothing could be better."

"Director Moore, may I ask what position will I be moved to next?"

"Do you want to be transferred?"

Nolan Moore’s words left Jane Quinlan somewhat puzzled.

"Didn’t you say that your new assistant is coming soon?"

Nolan Moore smiled: "In addition to the newspaper here, I also have my own work at Skyward Group.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle everything here with just one assistant, so I brought someone of my own over."

While they were speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Nolan Moore said, "Come in."

Jane Quinlan turned around, and at the moment the door was pushed open, she felt her brain swell with blood.

How could it be Xavier?

No wonder Nolan Moore’s words seemed to be targeting her.

Was it Xavier who had spoken ill of her to Nolan Moore?

The surprise in Jane Quinlan’s eyes made Xavier, who had just entered, curl his lips into a smile.

He stepped forward and bowed to Nolan Moore: "Director Moore."

"I heard that the two of you were schoolmates before, and then worked here together for many years.

You must be very familiar with each other.

Say hello, as you will be partners from now on."

Xavier turned his head towards Jane Quinlan with a friendly smile: "Jane, long time no see."

Jane Quinlan bit her lip and nearly furiously glared at Xavier.

What in the world is going on? Why is she feeling so confused now?

Kay Forrest couldn’t possibly have arranged for Xavier to come in.

Did Director Moore take it upon himself, or... was there something she didn’t know?

Nolan Moore crossed his hands on the table: "Seeing Assistant Quinlan’s angry, man-eating expression.

What, is Assistant Quinlan planning to resign over past misunderstandings?

If that’s the case, I won’t hold you back."

Jane Quinlan pressed her lips into a smile and reached out to shake Xavier’s hand: "Senior Xavier, long time no see."

Nolan Moore’s lips curved: "Good, now that I see you getting along, I can rest assured.

Now, you both go out and get to work."

Jane Quinlan turned and left, with Xavier following her out.

The office was now as silent as a graveyard.

Many people felt that something was off with the atmosphere.

Jane Quinlan headed back to her seat.

However, Xavier grabbed her wrist.

Jane Quinlan turned and glared at him: "Xavier, what are you doing?"

"Junior sister, don’t be agitated, wasn’t my seat taken out by you guys before.

Please help me bring it back now."

Jane Quinlan gritted her teeth and found a couple of male colleagues to help carry back his desk and chair.

She returned to her seat, her face ashen.

Xiaohua approached her, completely surprised: "Oh my god, what is happening?

Can you tell me?"

What’s with the new boss?

"And what’s the deal with your senior, Xavier?"

Jane Quinlan rubbed her tousled hair in irritation.

"Xiao Hua, I’m a bit dazed right now, so don’t ask me, let me cool down a bit."

"Why not just give Director Forrest a call?"

Jane looked up and saw Xavier looking at her.

She frowned and shook her head: "No, it’s working hours now.

Even if I’m to make a call, I should wait till noon."

At noon, just as Jane was about to go out for lunch, Nolan Moore came out of his office.

He pointed to Xavier and Jane: "Assistant Xavier, Assistant Quinlan, come out with me."

Jane was exasperated, but she was now his assistant.

When under someone’s roof, one cannot help but bow their head.

The three of them went out together, with Xavier driving, Jane sitting in the passenger seat, and Nolan Moore in the back.

Not long after leaving the company, Jane’s phone rang.

Seeing it was Kay Forrest calling, Jane hesitated for a moment and then hung up.

"I’m working overtime; have something to discuss with you this evening, return home early."

After sending the message, Jane set her phone to silent mode.

Kay Forrest was planning to invite Jane for lunch and was somewhat puzzled to see the message.

Overtime?

How could the newspaper office be that busy?

Jane really didn’t understand what on earth Director Moore was up to.

He intended to visit an old artist, hoping to secure an exclusive interview with the artist.

This was clearly a trivial matter, yet he insisted on bringing two assistants along.

Worse yet, after discussing the formal matters, he surprisingly also wanted to treat the two assistants to a meal.

Nolan Moore chose a restaurant, and upon arriving at the entrance, Jane said to Nolan: "Director Moore, I’m sorry, but I’m on a diet, I don’t eat lunch."

"Assistant Quinlan, do you think the meal I treat you to isn’t as classy as the one Director Forrest treats you to?"

"No, I’d be happy eating at a street stall with my boyfriend."

"So it’s uncomfortable for you to eat with me."

Jane looked at Nolan Moore’s gloomy face, and suddenly she smiled.

"That’s right, I’m someone who can’t enjoy exquisite delicacies while dining out with the leader.

So, I’d rather not waste the leader’s money.

I wish you both a pleasant lunch."

After saying that, she opened the car door, got in, and completely ignored Nolan Moore’s profound gaze.

Standing to the side, Xavier felt awkward and after a moment asked: "Director Moore, are we still eating?"

"Yes, why wouldn’t we eat?

The food often tastes sweeter and more delicious with others’ blessings."

Nolan Moore turned and entered the restaurant, with Xavier quickly following.

Jane was extremely frustrated and took out her phone intending to call Kay Forrest.

But looking at the time, he was either sleeping or had already started working.

The work troubles could wait until she got home in the evening.

After leaving the restaurant, Nolan Moore and Xavier had to make a sudden trip to Skyward Group.

Initially assuming both assistants would accompany them, Nolan instead said he could go by himself.

He asked Xavier and Jane to take a cab back together.

"Assistant Xavier, as a senior, you take good care of Assistant Quinlan, alright?"

"Of course, Director Moore."

After Nolan Moore drove away, Jane went to the side of the road to hail a cab.

She was growing even more disgusted with Nolan Moore’s behavior.

If he wasn’t going to take them to the headquarters, why the hell didn’t he say so earlier?

If he had said so earlier, she would have taken a cab back to the office by now.

Xavier stood by her side, watching her hail a cab, not moving himself.

Taxis were hard to come by at this time.

Xavier stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Jane’s figure from behind.

"Jane, did you ever think we would have a reunion like this one day?"

Jane didn’t respond to him, her hand kept waving towards the road.

She was getting irritated. Why wasn’t there a cab yet?

"I didn’t expect it either.

Turns out the saying that ’paths may cross again’ really isn’t wrong.

I thought I was the pitiful one.

It wasn’t until yesterday afternoon that I learned, Jane, you too are a pitiful person."

Jane turned and looked at him with undisguised unfriendliness: "Xavier, have you had enough yet?"

"Do you know that you’re being used?"
