novelxo Chapter 486
"Do you guys know how awesome Rivera was just now?" Andris shared with everyone about what happened in Evon's office just now. Evon was taken away by the police several minutes ago, so everyone now knew who was the one that locked Hesper up in the office.
It was just that none of them expected that Evon would do something like that just out of jealousy.
"Alright. This matter is resolved now. All of you can return to your work."
If it were not because she had been pushed to the corner, Hesper really did not want to have a fall out with her colleague, especially since she was leaving Eustoma soon. Now that Evon had to leave Eustoma because of this incident, Hesper felt somewhat guilty for Pennleigh.
Pennleigh could see through her worries, but at this point, it was completely meaningless to say anything.
"There's a new project available. Do you want to work on it?" Pennleigh said as he sent the client's information to Hesper.
Hesper lowered her head and was a bit puzzled. "Rachael Lane? She contacted me privately and asked me to take her private order, but I didn't agree. Then she deleted my contact. I didn't expect her to come straight to Eustoma."
"Rachael Lane?" Pennleigh was not familiar with the families in Halwanest, but he deduced that she was one of the Lanes from her name. Judging from the fact that Hesper had stayed with the Lanes for some time, he was certain that they must've feuded in the past.
"I'll reject her for you then."
Hesper thought for a while and nodded. "I'll let you handle this matter. Besides, I'm not going to accept new projects for the time being. I have something else to do at night."
"What is it?" As soon as the question left his mouth, Pennleigh realized that he might have been too nosy. He looked at Hesper nervously. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry into your personal matters..."
"It's okay," Hesper replied. She was not that paranoid to the point that she would suspect anything, so she answered honestly, "Someone has found a doctor who can treat my leg injury, and although I don't know the result yet, I've decided to give it a try."
Pennleigh heaved out a sigh of relief after he heard what Hesper said. He nodded. "It would be great if your leg injury could really be healed."
Hesper hesitated for a moment before nodding. "You're right."
When Rachael received the message from Eustoma, she was attending a shareholders' meeting.
Rachael had not been very savvy about the company's affairs since her return, which had made her grandfather worried. To give her some say in the company, Arthur had given her a five percent stake. "Miss, your phone is ringing," Isaac reminded her. The old men on the board were not easily fooled. Since Rachael had not put her phone on silent before entering the meeting, she might get scolded for it. Unexpectedly, Rachael thought that Isaac was telling her to reply to it, so she took out her phone and read the message from Eustoma saying that they were not going to accept her job. Her brows furrowed deeper and she ignored Isaac's gesture to put the phone down, typing with her head lowered.
[Rachael: Is this how Eustoma does things? I demand an explanation from River A.!]
[Rachael: She told me before that if I wanted to book her services, I had to go through the studio. What does she mean by rejecting me now?] [Rachael: Is she kidding me now?]
