“Were you familiar with Ms. Palmer?”
“Not familiar.”
Cecilia rolled her eyes, “I joined the company right when it was founded, and now she’s already a director. I’m just a team leader now, life’s so unfair… Oh well, never mind about her.”
She raised her face and said, “I know a really delicious restaurant, how about we go there together tonight?”
“Can’t tonight.”
Paulette shook her head, “Tonight I was going to attend a networking event with Ms. Palmer.”
Cecilia’s expression froze in an instant.
“Oh, sorry to bother you.”
She turned and walked away. Paulette’s gaze returned to the computer, muttering under her breath, “Greenleaf University… what a coincidence, Jeremiah also graduated from Greenleaf University.”
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
Six o’clock in the afternoon.
Paulette and her colleagues went downstairs together to the parking lot to meet up with Lynda.
“Here!” Lynda waved to her, taking the initiative to open the passenger
door. “Princess, please get in the car.”
Paulette couldn’t help but laugh, “Ms. Palmer, you’re too kind.”
“How can this be called polite?”
Lynda clearly put on makeup, dressed to the nines as if she was ready to go into battle.
She got into the driver’s seat, fastened her seatbelt, then turned to Paulette with a smile and said, “I told you, in private you can treat me as your sister, isn’t it natural for sisters to take care of each other?”
Paulette nodded, “Thanks, sis.”
“Such a good girl!” Lynda laughed out loud.
“Your outfit is not working, I’ll take you to get a makeover first, then we’ll go straight to the venue.
Paulette didn’t expect to go to the event today. She was wearing simple jeans and a coat. She looked down for a moment, staying silent.
In the evening, the distant sky was dyed red by the sunset, creating an indescribable atmosphere reflected on the car window.
Winter in Crireton is much colder than Fromond, the chill in the air feels like it’s seeping into your bones.
Lynda took Paulette to the mall and quickly changed into a white dress.
They got into the car, held hands, and took a deep breath.
“It was so cold, so cold…”
Lynda quickly turned on the air conditioner, muttering, “I can’t let you catch a cold, that would be my fault.”

Paulette blinked, “Why?”
“Because the old…”
Lynda suddenly changed her tone and said with a smile, “Because someone is always taking sick leave.”
That was close!
I almost let it slip!
Paulette always felt weird about herself, but she didn’t think much of it since being different from others is not a big deal.
The meeting started at eight. When Paulette and Lynda went in, most people were already there.
Lynda was familiar with the place, she was greeting everyone along the way. Just then, a waiter passed by, she casually took a glass of champagne and handed it to Paulette.
The man’s gaze shifted over, with a hint of interest in his eyes. He walked up to them with a smile and said, “Rare to see Ms. Palmer herself leading the team out. Looks like Mr. Swanson has been very busy with work lately.”
Paulette looked up in confusion.
Mr. Swanson?
Lynda was surprised and quickly looked at Paulette, who was waiting for an explanation with a puzzled expression. Her heart started beating faster.
“That…yeah, Mr. Swanson was always busy, no time for socializing.” She chuckled awkwardly, just wanting to leave the place of gossip, “Sorry Mr. Pruitt, we have another appointment to attend to, so we have to go!”

After saying that, she quickly grabbed Paulette and left.
“Ms. Palmer, our boss is also named Swanson?”
“Oh, yeah.”
Lynda didn’t know where to look, she didn’t make eye contact with Paulette. “What’s wrong, is there anyone else with the last name Swanson?”
“My fiance, Jeremiah,” Paulette didn’t think much about it, but when she mentioned Jeremiah, her eyes lit up involuntarily, “My fiance’s name is Jeremiah. He’s been on a business trip these days. When he’s free, I’ll introduce you guys.”
Who needs to know anymore.
It’s been familiar for a long time.
She and Jeremiah went to the same school. Even though they were not in the same major, they were both Spaunians, so they had plenty of chances. to get to know each other.
Later, as graduation approached, Jeremiah appreciated her talent and invited her to start a business together in their home country. Lynda, who was feeling lost at the time, simply agreed to his proposal.
Entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship, who would have thought that it would also mess with his love life!
Lynda thought, She really wasn’t good at lying.
“Ms. Palmer?”
Paulette noticed that her expression was off and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
