Realizing Damien and Cheriseâs gazes, Candace pursed her lips and looked at them with embarrassment. âI... | didnât mean to eavesdrop on you guys...â
â| was just... just working overtime, just finished work.â
After speaking, she picked up the files on the ground, hugged them to her body, and prepared to leave quickly.
But after walking only a few steps, Damienâs voice halted her footsteps. âStop.â
Candace, with her back to Damien and Cherise, sounded a bit flustered. âMay I... may | ask if there is anything else Mr. Lenoir wants to instruct?â
âThere is.â
Damien put down Cherise, then he stood up and walked to the door, pointing to the pile of business cards at the door. âI remember you're very good at organizing information.â
âHelp me make a list of these people.â
Candaceâs eyes widened in surprise, stunned by his order.
Even though she was very reluctant, Candace responded with a polite smile and said, âOkay.â
âMr. Lenoir, do you want this to be done by tonight?â
âNo need.â
Damien glanced at the pile of business cards. âIt can be done within a week,â he added.
After that, as if he had thought of something, he smiled faintly at Candace. âArenât you thinking of resigning?â
âThere are many business cards of good company owners here. You can choose a few that you like from here and get to know them.â
âIf they know that | gave you their business cards, they will look highly upon you.â
Candaceâs lips tightened into a thin line as she clutched the files tightly in her hands. âThank you, Mr. Lenoir, but | donât need it,â
she said, feigning a smile.
Even though she no longer wanted to resign, she had better options to select from if she did!
âWeiss Group is not a good choice for you. Even if you go to Weiss Group, you will eventually leave Adania empty-handed,â Mr.
Lenoir said as if he could see through Candaceâs thoughts.
His deep voice was calm, but it sent shivers down Candaceâs spine.
How did Mr. Lenoir know about Weiss Group trying to poach me? she thought frantically to herself. | havenât told anyone else!
And he doesnât even appear angry, casually mentioning it like that!
Seeing Candaceâs pale face, Damienâs wry smile deepened. âThere are no secrets in this world. | know what youâve been saying about me to the people at Weiss Group behind my back.â
âBut a word of advice, if youâre thinking of switching jobs, Weiss Group is not the best choice.â
With that, he turned and returned to Cheriseâs side, saying, âYou can leave with these business cards.â
Still sitting on the sofa, Cherise stared blankly in the direction Candace had left. âDo you think she wants to go to Weiss Group?â
âYes,â Mr. Lenoir replied with a faint smile. âSebastian has her on the list of people he wants to poach from the to read the latest chapter of this novel â| knew Weiss Group must have talked to her when she looked like she wanted to resign after competing with you during the day.â
âOtherwise, a spendthrift like her wouldn't easily want to resign if she wasnât guaranteed a stable job.â
Cherise nodded, thinking that his logic made sense.
âBut, how did you get the list of people Sebastian wants to poach from Lenoir Group?â
The man gave a knowing smile and glanced at Cherise. âIâm not telling you.â
âIt's a business secret,â he added, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
Cherise pursed her lips. Since he didnât want to reveal the truth, she didnât bother to ask him again.
