Chapter 210

“Coral Braine...”

Spencer glanced at Coral’s resume, then placed it back on the desk in front of Trevor, chuckling. “Nothing to worry about, sir!”

He returned to his desk, opened the computer, and began organizing.

About 3 minutes later...

“What?”

In the spacious and bright open office space of the office building. Coral stared at the computer screen, surprised by the sudden

team-building notification. She was momentarily stunned before a joyful expression spread across her face.

The company hosting a welcome banquet was fantastic news!

As an intern in a new company, navigating interpersonal relationships could be challenging. Some older employees tended to

exert pressure on newcomers, and there was often competition among new hires.

The company’s welcome banquet was a perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues, build relationships, and enjoy some food

and fun. This was godsent!

“Coral.” Not far away, a middle-aged female colleague was dressed stylishly and wearing high heels. She walked over, giggling.

“Are you going to the team-building event tonight? I heard your Alexander is coming to see you. Do you need to take leave?”

Coral stuck out her tongue playfully and laughed, “Whitney, I wouldn't dare take leave. The notice from above clearly states that

all new interns must attend. Alexander can take care of himself. He’s not a child!”

“Hehe!” Whitney covered her mouth and laughed, casting a few glances at Coral’s innocent face before swaying her graceful

figure back to her workstation.

Alexander had just departed from the coastal area, taking a flight to Walganus Capital. Before boarding, he

sent a text message to Coral.

[Coral, the landing time of the flight is confirmed. 8:30 tonight.]

Coral glanced at her phone and quickly replied. [Got it. I'll see how it goes. If I have time, I’ll definitely pick you

up!]

As soon as the message was sent, a joyful shout echoed in the office, “It’s the end of the shift! Coral, Jasmine, Lilly... Everyone,

pack up quickly! We're having a big dinner tonight. It’s our boss’ treat!”

Coral swiftly gathered her belongings, saved her work files, and shut down her computer. She joined seven or eight fellow

interns, along with a dozen or so senior employees, heading out of the office.

At 8 p.m. that evening, over 30 employees of Aarison Auto-Electric walked out of a five-star hotel in Walganus

Throughout the banquet, the atmosphere was unusually lively. Coral, mindful of picking up Alexander from the airport, refrained

from drinking much during the feast. Just as she stepped out of the hotel entrance, she immediately waved and greeted her

colleagues.

“Have fun, everyone. I'll take off now. Alexander’s flight lands tonight, and I have to go pick him up!”

After saying this, she bowed to Trevor and Spencer, then waved to Whitney, her closest colleague. Then, she turned to leave.

‘Planning to leave? Can you really leave?’

In the instant Coral turned around, Trevor narrowed his eyes slightly, silently signaling Whitney with a look.

“Coral!”

Whitney understood instantly, quickly catching up with Coral and grabbing her arm affectionately.

“It's such a joyful day today. Don’t spoil everyone’s mood! Let Alexander take a cab and find a hotel himself. Let’s go for karaoke

next! There’s a new establishment not far from here, and the sound system is fantastic!”

As she spoke, Whitney turned to Trevor with a playful laugh. “Boss, tonight is a company team-building night. You can’t be stingy

with the expenses at the karaoke!”

“Of course! All expenses tonight will be on the company’s account!”

Trevor looked at Coral’s delicate figure with desire in his eyes but quickly adjusted his expression. He appeared graceful and

charming.

“However, we won't go to the newly opened karaoke box. We have a fixed partnership with an entertainment

venue not far from the airport. Let's have some fun and relax a bit. It won’t delay Coral from picking up her

guest. It’s a win-win!”

Coral hesitated for a moment. “But...”

“Nope, no going back on that!” Whitney quickly hugged Coral’s shoulder and waved to her colleagues. “Get in the car, we're

going to have karaoke!”

Trevor, Spencer, and a large group of company employees boarded the company’s dedicated vehicle.

“Well, okay.” Helpless, Coral joined Whitney in the car. She took out her phone from her small shoulder bag

and quickly composed a text.

“Sending a message to Alexander, huh?” Whitney sat beside Coral, giggling. “He hasn't landed yet, has he? He’s still on the

plane, and he won't receive your message. Don’t bother sending it!”

Coral stuck out her tongue playfully, giggling. “It's okay, he'll get it once he lands.”

Whitney frowned slightly, seeming like she wanted to say something more. However, Coral’s fingers were fast, and the edited

message had been sent.

[Alexander, the company has a team-building activity, and I don’t know when it'll end. I can’t pick you up. Find

a hotel yourself, and tomorrow, I'll take a day off to spend time with you!]

After sending the message, Coral sighed in relief and began chatting and laughing with her colleagues. Meanwhile, the

company’s car sped toward Jovial Celebration Karaoke along the roads of Walganus Capital.
