Chapter 112 Watch Your Tongue

Baffled, Jared went back to his table and continued eating.

Shortly after the lunch break, Jared sorted out the arrears. He planned to send the information over to

Tommy and let him handle it. If the latter could not manage, he would then personally pay the debtors a

visit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to do everything himself.

Just as he was doing so, there was a sudden commotion in the sales department. On the heels of that,

everyone shot their gazes in the direction of the office and whispered among themselves.

That had Jared’s curiosity piqued, so he went over to Maria and asked, “What happened?”

Glancing at him, Maria uttered coldly, “Go back to your desk and do your work. Ms. Sullivan has just

arrived. She hasn’t been here for some time, and no one knows why she’s visiting the sales department

this time. Anyhow, she has now gone into the office. Stay on your toes, and don’t offend her lest you drag

me into trouble!”

In response, Jared frowned slightly. “Ms. Sullivan? Josephine is here?”

At his question, everyone instantly cut their gazes at him. Maria shot daggers at him and snarled, “Are

you sick of living? Ms. Sullivan isn’t someone you can address on a first-name basis! Don’t make any

trouble for me!”

Everyone distanced themselves from him, afraid that they would be dragged into the mess if he said

anything to offend Josephine.

“Hurry up and return to your work, Jared. Don’t talk nonsense anymore!”

Hilda dragged Jared back to his desk to resume his work.

Right then, Zayne was in his office with his eyes closed, planning to take a nap after having had some

wine during lunch. When he heard the click of his office door, he did not open his eyes since he knew no

one else would come over at such a time other than his subordinates.

Besides, the only person who dared to enter his office without knocking was Maria. If anyone else dared

to do so, they would be reprimanded by him.

“You came at an opportune time, Maria. Come over and massage my temples for a bit. I’ve got a mild

headache,” he murmured with his eyes closed.

As Josephine stared at the man, a layer of frost blanketed her face. “Are you asking me to massage your

temples for you?”

When her words rang out, Zayne’s eyes popped open at once. The instant he saw Josephine standing in

front of him and regarding him chillingly, his expression changed in the blink of an eye.

Thud!

He hastily leaped to his feet, only to trip and fall in his haste. Enduring the intense pain shooting through

him, he scrambled to his feet and hustled over to her with an ingratiating expression. “Ms. Sullivan, w-

why are you here?”

“If I don’t come, are you planning to turn the office into a massage parlor?” Josephine remarked icily.

“No, no! Of course not! I wouldn’t dare do that. Please forgive me, Ms. Sullivan…”

Zayne was so frightened that he shook his head profusely, almost going to his knees.

Josephine did not comment further but headed to the desk. Seeing that, Zayne quickly pulled the chair

out for her.

After taking her seat, she ordered, “Call Jared to come in.”

“J-Jared?” Zayne was startled, puzzled as to how she knew Jared. Why is she looking for him?

“Did you not hear me?” Josephine frowned as she asked.

“Ah! Yes, I’ll go and get him right away!”

Terrified, Zayne ran out posthaste.

As soon as those gossiping in the sales department saw him coming out of his office, they hurriedly

dispersed and went back to their respective desks, feigning diligence. However, their eyes remained

fixated on the man. They were all desperate to know why exactly Josephine suddenly came to the office.

The next thing they saw was Zayne striding over to Jared’s desk. “Jared, Ms. Sullivan wants to see you.

Watch your tongue when you’re in there!” he said.

Jared stood up and headed toward the office. He knew Josephine had undoubtedly come over in search

of him, so he was not at all surprised.

“Why does Ms. Sullivan want to see him?”

“How strange! She isn’t acquainted with him, so why is she asking for him first thing when she comes

over?”

“Could it be that she’s here to look for him because he managed to collect Dexter Murphy’s debt?”

“Come on! Mr. Carlson hasn’t reported that to the higher-ups, so how could she possibly know about it?”

Everyone whispered among themselves, curious as to why Josephine was here to look for Jared.
