As there were other people, Loren, for the sake of his own face and dignity, he said casually to Gloria. "Let's eat together."
"Okay." When Gloria had finished speaking, Loren's face changed slightly, and she continued. “But not today, I'm going to eat with my colleagues, and I'll have it with Dad next time."
Loren was not close to Gloria, as he didn't like her, and of course he didn't want to eat with her.
When he heard Gloria's refusal, he looked relaxed, looking a lot gentler. "Well, you go ahead and eat."
At this time, Anne suddenly turned her head and smiled as she helped Loren eat with her chopsticks. "Dad, try this. I think their food is delicious today."
Loren laughed, saying. "You eat them yourself, as you've lost weight lately."
How harmonious they seemed as father and daughter!
Anne smiled contemptuously at Gloria, her eyes seeming to say: You poor bastard, your own parents didn’t love you.
Gloria had to say that Anne really hit on her weak spot.
She thought she had already developed the heart of steel through repeatedly being used and abandoned by the people of the Taylor's, but she was easily struck by the harmonious relationship they seemed as father and daughter.
By the time Gloria and her colleagues had found a place to sit down, Gloria was still looking a little pale.
Recently, there had been a heated discussion about her and Anne's private affairs online. As these female colleagues were all young girls, naturally, they also went online, knowing about the private affairs between Anne and her.
They had seen what had happened, and they could sense, too, that Loren seemed to dislike Gloria.
One of them pushed the menu in front of her. "Look at the menu and see what you want to eat."
Gloria smiling, pushed the menu back. "I'm not picky about food. You order first, because I've never been here before and I don't know what tastes good."
When her colleagues listened to her, they stopped being too polite and began to order.
They thought Gloria was easy to get along with, so someone asked her. "Do you know why Sun Zhenghua asked for leave again today? What happened in the president's office?"
"I don't know. Has he done a lot of bad things before? Perhaps God is punishing him." Gloria looking very serious, she cooked up.
The others did not mind, as they laughed too, and they began to expose the evils Sun Zhenghua had done.
Gloria also spoke from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
Until someone said something that broke the harmony.
"Gloria, why do you want to work for the Taylor's Group when you're already the young lady at Clarke's?"
The questioner meant no harm, but the question was hard for her to answer.
Gloria paused, her voice sounding hesitant. "Well..."
Someone offered to speak up for Gloria. "Well, let's eat quickly, as we don't have much time. After we eat, we can go back to the office and have a rest."
The questioner asked her no more.
In fact, everyone in the company thought Gloria was unpopular at Clarke's.
As for the young master of the Clarke's, who was disfigured and sexually impotent, although he was the first heir of the Clarke's Group, he was physically unfit to take over the Clarke's Group. Therefore, many people have thought that the first heir of the Clarke's Group may have to be replaced, but it’s just that no word has come out yet.
If the young master of the Clarke's was no longer the first heir to the Clarke's Group, the young master of the Clarke's was nothing but a useless man, while Gloria was not popular at the Clarke's, and Gloria had to go out to work.
Gloria not only came to work on her own, but also worked as the market researcher, a very hard job. So in this case, Gloria's really pathetic.
Gloria watched in bewilderment as her female colleagues kept helping her eat with their chopsticks, and the way they looked at her, it was like that -- they felt sorry for her?
On second thought she knew what it was all about.
From an outsider's point of view, she seemed rather pathetic...
…
Kenny spent the day at the office.
At the end of his day, Carl rushed up to him excitedly. "Let's go drink!"
Carl felt that his job was a lot easier because Kenny had come to handle the work. He was in such a good mood that he wanted to go out.
"No." Kenny refused without looking up.
Carl rolled his eyes. "Why are you going home so early? You just stay home when you're free. You go home as soon as you get off work, as you don't go to any parties. Your life is exactly like that of an old man."
Kenny responded blandly, contradicting Carl completely.
"People with wives live like this." Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Carl raised the corners of his mouth, sneering. "Hehe."
At this time, Fu Tingxi just came in.
Unaware that Carl had just suffered a verbal trauma from Kenny, he asked. "Ready to go?"
"Let's go." Carl said as he walked outside.
Fu Tingxi looked at Kenny. "You're not going?"
Carl looking cold, he answered for Kenny. "A man with a wife does not enjoy the night life."
As Carl expected, Fu Tingxi looked stunned as if he had seen a ghost.
"Let's go, just the two of us, because we haven't got any wives yet?"
Carl putting his hand on Fu Tingxi's shoulder, pulled him out.
Fu Tingxi frowned, he pulled Carl's hand down and turned his head, his voice sounding a little sympathetic. "Even if you have a wife, you can only look at her from a distance."
Kenny sneered. "You're not going to eat in our house again."
Fu Tingxi looked stiff, he changed his tune and said. "How I envy people with wives like you."
Carl couldn’t help kicking Fu Tingxi!
Why couldn’t Fu Tingxi be a little tougher? Why did they have to lose to Kenny every time?
Fu Tingxi looked as if he felt no pain, as his legs did not move at all.
Carl taking him, walked out. "Don't make a fool of yourself here."
When he had finished speaking, he turned back to Kenny, saying. "The two of us will leave now. Good- bye."
Kenny was in a good mood, and his deep voice even sounded a little cheerful. "You two go for a drink first. It's my treat."
It's just that when Kenny drove home, looking at the empty house, his previous good mood suddenly disappeared.
He took out his cell phone, calling Gloria, but his call went unanswered until it was cut off automatically.
He called twice, but no one answered.
Did she not answer on purpose, or was there something wrong?
Kenny stood in the empty hall for a while until his bodyguard couldn't resist asking. "What's the matter, young master?"
The young master looked serious, so something great must have happened.
Kenny didn't say a word, he took his coat and went out, and when he reached the door, as if remembering something, he turned, saying. "If the young lady comes back, call me."
“…”Did something great must have happened meant that the young Lady hasn't come back yet?
…
And Gloria, she was invited to shopping now.
When she got off work, she wanted to go straight back.
However, her colleagues, who had lunch with her, probably felt that it was too pitiful for her to go home alone and stay in the empty villa, so they insisted on pulling her out, letting her go shopping with them.
In fact, she felt that she was not pitiful, because when she went home, she was alone in the empty villa, and it was a luxury villa, a thousand times better than the small rented house she had lived in before.
However, her colleagues were so kind and enthusiastic that she had to go shopping with them.
