Chapter 967

I realized that there were traces of mischief under his cool demeanor.

Sitting in the hot tub and feeling the warm water surrounding my body, my mind and body relaxed

like never before. I looked at Jordan and said with a smile, "I'd like to buy you a meal."

He smiled. "Tomorrow. How's that?"

"Can we do it after work?"

Jordan nodded. "Any time."

I smiled. "After work, then."

After deciding the time of the meal, someone walked i n to whisper in his ear. When the guy left,

Jordan looked at me and said, "I still have things to do, so I'll b e leaving now. Don't forget about our

date tomorrow night."

Date, my *ss!

How did he say those words with a poker face?

After he left, I closed my eyes and continued to enjoy the pleasure of soaking in the hot tub.

"A few ladies in our department are gathered in a

private room. Why don’t you go over and hang out with them for a while?"

A man's voice sounded in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Horton.

I shook my head to refuse. "Forget it. I'm going back soon."

It was getting late and I should go back to sleep. I still needed to wake up early tomorrow morning

to go to work.

Horton frowned. "Say, can you have some team spirit? We're all out here to have some fun yet you

decided to spend the time alone?”

He continued after a pause, "Also, the purpose of a gathering is so everyone can get to know each

other better. Did you think the company booked the whole venue for us for nothing?"

I pursed my lips. "So this gathering is for bonding?"

Horton was completely speechless. "I just think you should talk more with the other young ladies.

Don't you feel lonely doing everything alone?”

I shook my head. "Once I got used to it, I don't feel lonely anymore.”

Horton pulled his hair, losing his mind a little. "I surrender."

I helplessly smiled. "I surrender too.”

Horton sat down beside me and asked, "You know Mr.

Frederick?"

I frowned slightly. "Mr. Frederick?"

"The one who taught you how to swim just now."

"Jordan?"

He nodded. "That's him."

Jordan did not seem like an ordinary person, hence I could more or less guess something.

I looked at Horton and asked, "Who is he?"

"Our company’s president," he replied succinctly." From your conversation earlier, I could tell that

you seem to know each other. I can't believe you don't know his identity."

I pursed my lips. "I met him by chance.”

Horton looked at me with a complicated gaze. "Our president is a pretty mysterious person. No one

knows anything about him. Only the senior executives would have the chance to interact with him at

work. It's incredible that you’re acquainted."

My head grew a little dizzy from being in the hot tub for too long, hence I got out and sat on a bench

at the side. I looked at Horton and said, "Those in a high position will inevitably try and remain

mysterious."

Horton nodded. "Just make sure you know what you're doing."

After a pause, he persuaded me again. "Go to the private room with me. Since you plan to start

anew, there's no need to keep your distance from our colleagues. After all, you'll have to work

together for a very long time.”

I was a little speechless now. "I realize that you're a little naggy."

Horton nearly lost it. This time, he ordered me directly with his identity as my superior, "You must go

or I’ll cut your salary."
