Chapter 342 To Accompany the Boss

Chapter 342: Chapter 342 To Accompany the Boss

At this moment, in the office of the chairman of the Thompson Group, Bella Quarter read the message sent by Eleanor Thompson and pressed the intercom, "Assistant Dunn, please go downstairs and escort Miss Eleanor up."

Carson Dunn responded affirmatively, hung up the phone, and took the express elevator downstairs.

He had just walked out of the building when he first spotted Dale Land.

His girlfriend seemed to be having an argument with someone else.

And that someone else was none other than the princess of the Thompson Group, Eleanor Thompson.

Carson Dunn slightly quickened his steps as he approached, first glancing at Dale Land to see she was alright, then turned to Eleanor Thompson with a warm smile, "Miss Thompson, what happened? The chairman asked me to escort you upstairs."

Upon hearing Carson Dunn’s words, Eleanor Thompson’s expression eased a bit, and she said impatiently, "This woman knocked over the dress and shoes I had prepared for my sister-in-law. You arrived just in time to handle this, make her compensate."

Arguing here with a fat woman was really lacking in style.

Carson Dunn smiled lightly, "Miss Thompson, the chairman is waiting for you. You can go up first, and I will handle this matter."

Eleanor Thompson coldly glanced at Dale Land and walked proudly into the Thompson Group building, while Scarlett Grant hurried to pick up the dress and shoes from the ground and followed her.

After Eleanor Thompson and the others had left, Carson Dunn turned to look at Dale Land and smiled, "Little Dale, what happened?"

Dale Land snorted, "Miss Thompson’s assistant bumped into me herself, spilled the box and tried to blame it on me, I’ve never met someone so shamelessly cheeky."

Carson Dunn raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "Leave this matter to me, I won’t let you be wronged. You go wait for me in the coffee shop."

Dale Land was satisfied with Carson Dunn’s response, and her previously cold face also showed a smile, "Alright."

Dale Land went to the coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down by the window.

Thinking of the disdainful look Eleanor Thompson had given her just now, Dale Land wanted to secretly roll her eyes.

She was very fat, but her brain was perfectly normal, and she was happy!

At this moment, in the chairman’s office.

When Bella Quarter saw Eleanor Thompson walk into the office, she stopped her work and gently smiled, "Eleanor, thank you."

Eleanor Thompson walked over to the sofa, smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I guarantee you will look stunning at tonight’s banquet."

Bella Quarter was attending a birthday banquet at the Bell family tonight, and although she had already arranged a makeup team, Eleanor Thompson said she wanted to help design her look.

Bella Quarter smiled and nodded, "Eleanor, I trust your taste, I look forward to your design."

Eleanor Thompson’s gaze flashed with confidence, "Leave it to me, sister-in-law. You will definitely be the most dazzling presence at the banquet tonight."

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and Carson Dunn walked in, "Mr. Chairman, Miss Thompson, I have already sorted out the incident that happened downstairs."

Bella Quarter asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Eleanor Thompson spoke with a cold laugh and disgust, "I encountered a woman who bumped into Scarlett Grant, spilling the dress and shoes my sister-in-law is wearing tonight. I demanded an apology and compensation, and she tried to shirk."

The smile faded slightly from Carson Dunn’s lips.

Bella Quarter looked at Carson Dunn,"What was the outcome? Just an apology will suffice, no need for compensation."

Carson Dunn opened the video stored on the tablet and handed it over to Eleanor Thompson, "Miss Thompson, there are surveillance cameras at the company entrance, this is the surveillance footage I just reviewed."

Eleanor Thompson glanced at Carson Dunn with satisfaction and smiled, "Is it the video of her apologizing? You should have recorded it directly on a mobile phone."

She started watching the video.

Bella Quarter also turned to watch.

Scarlett Grant stood beside, biting her lip nervously.

Carson Dunn turned his head towards Scarlett Grant with a faint smile.

After watching the video, Eleanor Thompson looked up angrily at Scarlett Grant, "Get out, you can leave now, and don’t bother trying to mingle in the design circle anymore."

How dare she deceive her!

The video clearly showed that it was Scarlett Grant who bumped into someone while carrying the box.

Scarlett Grant, now no longer able to mingle in the design circle, turned pale, "I’m sorry, I....."

Such a proud person as Eleanor Thompson wouldn’t listen to a deceiver’s excuses, "Get out!"

Seeing that Eleanor Thompson was angry, Scarlett Grant didn’t dare stay any longer and quickly left.

Eleanor Thompson coldly tossed the tablet onto the table, disparaging, "So fat and still standing there in the way, getting bumped was what she deserved."

Carson Dunn: There’s a MMD in my heart, not sure if I should say it.

Bella Quarter looked at the time and shifted the topic away from Eleanor Thompson’s words, "Bella, let’s get your makeup done."

"Alright," Eleanor Thompson nodded, she lifted her chin slightly towards Carson Dunn, "Sister-in-law, who is he?"

Bella Quarter introduced with a light smile, "My new assistant, Assistant Dunn."

Carson Dunn, seeing there was nothing else for him to attend to, exited the office first.

He returned to his desk and rapidly dealt with his work at hand.

By the time it was finishing hour, he had completed his tasks and made a call to his superior.

Bella Quarter was doing her makeup in the office, so he couldn’t go in and had to call her instead.

When the call connected, Bella’s voice came through, "Assistant Dunn, is there something you need?"

Carson Dunn spoke respectfully, "Chairwoman, if there are no other arrangements, I’m going to leave work now."

Bella Quarter said gently, "Assistant Dunn, why don’t you accompany me to the Bell Family’s dinner party tonight?"

Her statement was declarative, not interrogative.

She had just received a message from her husband, William Thompson, saying that he was unavailable to join her at the Bell Family’s dinner party tonight.

Bella Quarter had no choice but to ask Assistant Dunn to accompany her.

As an assistant receiving a high salary, occasionally accompanying the boss to social gatherings was part of the job.

Carson Dunn frowned; being new to the job, he felt it best not to refuse the boss’s request to attend the dinner, otherwise it would reflect poorly on his work attitude.

He thought of Dale Land, who was waiting for him in the café, and didn’t immediately respond to Bella Quarter.

Bella Quarter, guessing that Carson Dunn might have prior commitments, said with a hint of apology, "Assistant Dunn, I’m sorry, if you have other plans, you don’t need to accompany me."

Carson Dunn sighed internally and replied, "I don’t have the right clothes to attend a dinner party."

Bella Quarter chuckled, "Don’t worry about the clothes."

The two ended the call.

Carson Dunn, feeling helpless, headed down to the café next to the company.

"Carson, would you like to have Western food or Chinese food?" Dale Land saw Carson coming over, put down her phone, and asked after he sat down.

Carson Dunn, sitting down, spoke apologetically, "Little Dale, I can’t go to dinner with you tonight. Miss Ji has asked me to accompany her to the Bell Family’s banquet last minute. I’m really sorry."

Dale Land was a bit disappointed, but she also understood; being an assistant required adapting to the supervisor’s schedule, "I understand. We can make plans another time."

Carson Dunn held Dale Land’s hand and said gently, "I’m truly sorry."

At a nearby table sat a couple who happened to see Carson Dunn holding Dale Land’s hand.

The woman felt a bit shocked.

My goodness, this guy is so handsome, how did he end up with such a fat girlfriend???

She immediately looked towards her boyfriend, who was quite ordinary-looking across from her.

She can’t believe she lost to a fat woman.

Dale Land, with her hand being held by Carson, tried to retract it shyly, but the man insisted on holding it, "Alright then, go ahead with your commitments, I should head home too."

The two walked out of the café hand in hand, disregarding the stares from people around.

Dale Land joked softly to herself, "Others have Beauty and the Beast; I am a handsome man with a beast."

Carson Dunn didn’t like hearing Dale Land belittle herself and smiled with his eyes, "In my eyes, you are the beauty."

Dale Land felt at a loss for words, having often doubted her boyfriend’s taste.

Anyway, the benefit was hers.

Carson Dunn hailed a taxi and after helping Dale Land into the car, he turned back towards the company.

Julia Land found food less appetizing when dining with James Thompson, as their daughter was not home.

Alice Thompson, their son, was enjoying his food, already on his second small bowl of rice.

He had spent the day at kindergarten, playing himself tired, so naturally, he dug into two bowls of rice in the evening.

James Thompson, unable to bear watching his son devour his food so eagerly, displayed fatherly love by adding some celery to his bowl, "Little Mouse, eat more vegetables."

Alice Thompson saw the celery he hated the most in his little bowl and felt like crying, "Little Mouse is full already."

Julia Land added sternly, "We do not waste food at home."

Just then, Dale Land returned home and changed her shoes, "Dad, mom, I’m back."

On hearing her daughter’s voice, Julia stood up quickly from the dining table and walked out with a puzzled face, "Back from your date so soon?"

Dale Land waved her hand, "The date didn’t happen. Carson had to accompany his boss to the Bell family’s banquet."
