A Love Rekindled

Chapter 67

In the end, I couldn't persuade Caroline otherwise. And as such, I could only carefully drive the BMW back to the office.

After heading inside, Caroline reminded me, "As a newbie, you need time to get used to driving. You should get off earlier these days and find a place with fewer cars to train.

"Right. You can also ask Mr. Irvin to go with you."

"Huh?"

Caroline raised her eyebrows and replied, "You guys have the same car."

It was no wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I got in the car.

I wanted to say something else but stopped after seeing Cindy happily leaving the pantry.

When our gazes met, Cindy suppressed her happiness and whispered, “You're back."

"Yup."

"Bruce told me that something urgent came up for you. That's why you couldn't make it to the party tomorrow. Is that right?” After she said that, everyone turned their attention to me.

Meanwhile, Caroline's expression darkened.

My tone was soft as I replied, "That's right. I'll have to trouble you to attend the party tomorrow with Ms. Whittaker.”

After Cindy got my confirmation, she grinned and humbly replied, "Don't worry. I'll definitely do my best."

I thought Cindy was quite interesting.

Bruce and Caroline were the ones giving her the opportunity. Yet, she was thanking me for it.

"Oh. Did you buy a new car?" Vanessa poked her head over. Then, she stared at the car keys in my hand and sighed. "It's a BMW too.” I didn't pay her any heed.

However, when I glanced over to Cindy, she was staring at the car keys in my hand too. Then, a displeased look flashed through her eyes. But when I looked over again, she had returned to normal and smiled, saying "With her salary, a BMW is nothing to her." Cindy spoke quite highly of me. But she didn't know that it was all thanks to her that I had the downpayment for the car.

I didn't manage to hide this from Caroline though.

After that. she called me to the office and said in exasperation, “You sold your dignity for a mere hundred thousand?"Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I comforted her, saying. "At least I got some money. Perhaps Bruce will wake up one day and invest more in us."

Caroline was furious. "I don't care. The car is on him. If he dares to disagree, I'll immediately fire Cindy!"

I was quite impressed with the way Caroline did things

Then, after work, I called Lilian to ask about driving.

She was the first in our class to get. a driver's license. Not to mentions \ she was a good driver too, and this helped her earn her bosses‘ respect.

"You asked the right person. I know where it is. Just wait there for me.”

Without another word, Lilian drove her motorbike to our company.

"It's the same model as Douglas’. You always have good taste." Lilian stared at the BMW. I facepalmed and explained, "Ms. Whittaker was the one who chose it."

Lilian smiled ambiguously. “Okay. Let's go and train!"

Lilian then miraculously led me to a driving school.

We chatted while training, and when the party the next day was brought up, Lilian giggled. "You should wear the gown from before. I'm sure you'll wood a lot of people." Content ~

I sighed and said, "I can't attend the party tomorrow." But I didn't mention Cindy and only explained that there weren't enough slots. "You should have told me earlier. Helix Group and Nicox University set up a joint venture office. I think Douglas might still have slots."

Douglas didn't tell me about this. But I'd already troubled him sa many times, so I didn't feel like it was right to do it again

Then, just.as I was about to reject ~ her suggestion, I heard Lilian saying, "How could you do this, Douglas? Arent you going to help Nancy? She cari attend the party!" Content ~

Her call had already gone through. Douglas felt a bit speechless. "Pass the phone to Nancy.” Lilian obediently passed the phone to me.

While doing so, Douglas' caring voice sounded from the speaker, "Nancy, what happened?"
