Chapter 674

• Melvin frowned and said, "Shut up. What are you trying to do?"
• "It's obviously her fault. Before she came, people in this office always got along well." Thea looked at Annette unhappily.Melvin turned to look at Annette.Amanda suddenly said, "Really? You have always been arrogant and a big bully. People simply keep quiet and still try to butter you up. Do you call that getting along?""Amanda, stop talking nonsense. When did I bully them?""You've been doing that all the time. As for the reason, everyone knows about it!" Amanda said mockingly.The office fell silent instantly.Melvin glanced at Amanda and said, "Annette, go back to your seat. I'll announce something."Annette turned around, yet Thea grabbed her wrist and complained, "Mr. Horton, she splashed water on me. Aren't you going to punish her?"Annette said calmly, "How much does your dress cost? Bring me the receipt and I will compensate you. In addition, when I come to work tomorrow, I will also bring you the receipt for my dress, and you need to compensate me too. Then, we will be even."Thea immediately stopped talking.Melvin said, "If you two continue to make a scene, then get out of here."Thea snorted. She let go of Annette's hand and went back to her seat.Annette returned to her desk and sat down.Melvin stood in the center of the office and said seriously, "I have something to announce. Just now, I received a notice from the Personnel Department. From today on, Amanda is the manager of the Training Department."Hearing the news, everyone in the office cheered.Amanda smiled, "Thank you, I'll do my best."Thea threw the pen to the corner of the table angrily.Amanda turned her head to look at Annette and smiled gently at her.Annette also smiled and was a little puzzled. Amanda seemed to be extra nice to her.But why?At lunchtime, after everyone left, Annette was ready to leave too.Catherine walked over and said, "Annette, shall we go for lunch together?""I'm not quite done with work yet. Why don't you go first?" Annette sat down again and said."It's fine. I'll wait for you."Annette stood up. "Let's go for lunch. I'll deal with it later.""Okay." Catherine took her arm.Annette felt a little awkward. As she reached the door of the office, she looked back at the lunchbox under her table.What should she do?At the cafeteria, Annette ordered a burger.Annette took big bites of her burger. Catherine smiled, "No rush. Just take your time.""Don't worry. I always eat fast."Annette finished her hamburger quickly. She looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "Catherine, I'm sorry. I have to go back to the office. I've got some work to deal with."Annette trotted back to the office, only a few people were there.She picked up the lunchbox and hid it carefully until she finally reached the top floor.Standing outside Connor's office, she knocked on the door.Connor's cold voice sounded. "Come in."Annette opened the door and walked in. Connor had a cold expression on his face. He pointed at his watch and said, "I thought you were not going to feed me today."Annette was embarrassed for a moment. "I'm sorry. Just now, my colleague asked me to go to the cafeteria with her. I had no choice but to go with her, and I came to you right after I finished lunch.""So, I don't have the priority, even about the lunch, right?" Connor was a little dissatisfied.Annette changed the topic. "I made macaroni for you today."Connor stood up. He walked to Annette with a cold face and asked, "How's your wound today?""It recovered quickly and didn't hurt anymore," Annette answered truthfully.After her mother passed away, no one ever cared about her like this.During the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.Annette panicked. She stood up and looked at Connor.Connor said calmly, "Who's there?""Mr. Norman, it's me." Hari's voice came from outside.Annette whispered, "What to do now?"Connor was amused by her nervous look. He smiled, "Give me a kiss, and I'll help you out.""How dare you!" Annette glared at him and said in a low voice."Otherwise, I'll ask Hari in. But, I'm not sure what he will tell others about us," Connor said casually.Connor turned to look at the door and said, "Hari..."Annette stepped forward and covered his mouth. Then, she quickly pecked his cheek.Connor pointed to the other side of the office and said, "There is a lounge over there. Go and hide there."After Annette ran into the lounge, Connor let Hari in."Just now, the director of the Finance Department gave me a document. It's urgent. It needs your signature."Hari said as he handed the document to Connor.Connor read it carefully. He then signed the document and said, "Send it to them.""OK." Hari turned around and was about to leave.Suddenly, a phone rang in the lounge.Hari stopped and turned to look at the lounge.The ringtone stopped instantly.Connor could imagine Annette's expression.He said seriously to Hari, "Aren't you going to deliver the documents?""Yes, right away." Hari left quickly.Connor walked to the lounge and opened the door. He looked at Annette, who was upset and sitting on the bed.Annette looked up at him and asked, "Have I screwed it?"She was a little depressed. Why didn't Roxanne call her at such a time?Connor leaned against the wall and said calmly, "Even if he knows someone delivers food to me, he won't mention it to others."
