After Jeremiah got home, he waited a long time but Paulette didn’t show up. He frowned and checked the time, it was almost ten o’clock.
Still not off work?
With a flick of his fingers, he sent a message to Lynda.
The answer I got was Today we finished work at the usual time, and by 6:30 there was no one left in the office.
Jeremiah frowned, grabbed his coat and headed out, making a call back: “What do you mean no one at the company at 6:30? People haven’t returned yet, phones are not working, how do you explain that?”
Lynda was already ready to go to bed when she suddenly received a call from her boss. She was already feeling anxious, and now this new problem came up, so she was a bit caught off guard.
“Wait, you mean… Paulette hasn’t gone back yet?”
“Did you come back?”
Lynda took a deep breath and quickly sat up in bed, “Mr. Swanson, don’t worry, I’ll go check right away.”
Ten minutes later, Lynda got a hair–raising answer from her assistant.
Paulette and Cecilia were taken out by Kaylyn for a social event.

“She’s really picky about who she chooses…why doesn’t she just ask Mr. Swanson to go with her?” Lynda gritted her teeth and said, “Hurry up and find out exactly where it is!”
Where could he still sleep?
Lynda quickly changed into a set of clothes and rushed out the door.
Got the address, she immediately sent the location to Jeremiah, with a hint of guilt in her voice, “Mr. Swanson, I’m on my way there too, let’s
meet at the entrance.”
He didn’t answer and just hung up.
Lynda kept saying Oh no a few times, driving and frantically calling Kaylyn.
But at that moment, Kaylyn was busy helping Lawson persuade Paulette and Cecilia to drink, and didn’t hear the sound coming from her bag.
Paulette’s face turned red, she couldn’t even take another sip.
Cecilia was doing better, but she drank more than Paulette.
She tried to stay alert, thinking of going out to call for help or grab the phone to call the police… but those two acted like they were in cahoots, never giving her a chance.
“Oh my…look at Paula and Cecilia, they were both so drunk.”
Kaylyn smiled and said, but she was secretly relieved.
Finally got drunk.
She was about to puke!

“I…I have to call my friend to pick me up. Paulette, Cecilia, you two just let Mr. Marshall’s driver take you back.”
Cecilia shook her head repeatedly, “No need… we can just take a taxi, Ms. Gentry.”
“What’s the big deal with Mr. Marshall?”
Kaylyn casually pushed Paulette, who was unprepared, and she bumped straight into Lawson. “Mr. Marshall is going to sign the contract with us tomorrow, we are all on the same team, right Mr. Marshall?”
Her eyes were deep and shallow, containing a lot of things in the dim light.
Lawson got it.
He laughed out loud, “Of course! We’re on the same team, the contract will be signed tomorrow!”
Paulette was so dizzy that she could barely make out what they were saying. She weakly raised her arm to try to grab Cecilia, but before she could touch her, her hand was pulled back by a large hand.
Lawson had his arm around Paulette’s waist, with a growing interest in his eyes, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make sure you guys get home safely, don’t be afraid.”
Cecilia watched the scene, her hand hanging by her side clenched tighter and tighter.
She saw that Kaylyn was really going to leave, so she grabbed her hand in desperation, even with a pleading look in her eyes, “Ms. Gentry…”
Kaylyn frowned and glanced at her, pushing the hand on her arm away. “I already said, Mr. Marshall will safely take you home. What’s your name?”

She said this and then didn’t look at Cecilia again, picked up her bag, and walked out of the compartment without looking back.
“Ms. Gentry…! Kaylyn!”
Cecilia wanted to go after him, but Lawson’s assistant grabbed her back, smirked and whispered in her ear, “Why the rush, Ms. Gomez? Don’t worry, Mr. Marshall is a fun guy, he’ll definitely make sure you guys have a great time.”
Kaylyn came out of the club and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
To be honest, if she didn’t want to make a good impression on the boss, ́she wouldn’t have wanted to have any interaction with that Lawson guy at
all. He just looks creepy and acts like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Kaylyn rolled her eyes and took out her phone to call a cab.
I then saw a few missed calls, one from Lynda and one from Jeremiah.
