CHAPTER 542: CHAPTER 258: AN AFFAIR... (1 MORE)_2

Jane Quinlan raised her eyebrows and pondered, "Does memorizing all the rules and regulations count?"

Kay Forrest nodded, "It counts, but I don’t think a trivial thing like that is enough to make you this happy."

Jane Quinlan stuck out her tongue, "I’ve noticed you’re getting to know me better."

"Of course, after sleeping with you so many times, I can tell what you’re up to the moment you stick out your butt."

Jane Quinlan gave him a disdainful look. This guy never fails to act cute even when he’s already taken advantage of the situation.

"We’re about to eat, can you talk about something clean for a change?"

"Then hurry up and share with me, I’m dying of curiosity here.

I really want to hear who’s turned my little lady’s grief into joy.

As long as it’s not another man, I plan to reward the one responsible."

Jane Quinlan smirked mischievously, "Then you don’t need to reward anyone else, rewarding me will do."

After her smirk, she recounted the afternoon’s events, which had irritated Nolan Moore.

Telling the story was incredibly satisfying.

Keep in mind she had been holding back for a very long time.

As she spoke, Kay Forrest laughed along.

Nolan Moore always held himself so aloof.

After today’s ordeal orchestrated by Jane Quinlan, he must be feeling pretty uncomfortable.

"Not bad, Miss Quinlan, you’ve got some nerve! Here, let big brother toast to you.

This is to acknowledge your progress."

Jane Quinlan clinked her glass with hers, "I’m not just making ordinary progress, right?

This is tremendous progress.

Coming out of Nolan Moore’s office, I really felt like I had released a ton of pent-up frustration.

Ever since he showed up, he’s been bullying me continuously.

And under all sorts of pretenses, too.

You know I’m not exactly a woman with a lot of patience.

Today, I really reached the limit of my endurance.

You know what they say, if you don’t burst out in silence, you die in silence.

As a model young citizen, I need to live and shine for our motherland.

How could I let someone with such flawed principles as Nolan Moore get to me?

I thought long and hard, and finally decided to burst out after being silent.

I’d rather infuriate him than let him bully me."

Kay Forrest thought, Nolan Moore really had gone too far.

Even making a cup of tea was an ordeal.

It’s only Jane Quinlan who would put up with that; he would’ve splashed the water on his face right there and then.

To let him act so pretentious, could he really outdo himself?

"But you know, when I went to find Nolan Moore’s female assistant today, I feel like there must be something going on between Nolan Moore and her."

Jane Quinlan looked at him with a gossipy interest.

"I’ve known Nolan Moore for several days now, and I’ve never seen him look at a woman with that kind of pity.

But the way he looked at that woman... it was sickeningly sweet."

Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows, a female assistant?

Could it be...

"You said he humiliated you in front of someone else.

That person wasn’t... his female assistant, was it?"

Jane Quinlan was annoyed: "Exactly.

It was so embarrassing.

I felt like I had nowhere to put my face in that moment."

Kay Forrest clenched his fist, good for Dylan Moore.

Thinking he can do whatever he wants just because his old man has his back, huh?

Daring to humiliate Jane Quinlan in front of that woman.

He’s asking for trouble.

"Hey, what’s up with you, I’m talking to you."

Jane Quinlan called out to him.

The daydreaming Kay Forrest snapped back into reality and looked at her with a suppressed smile: "Nothing, I’m just thinking about how awkward you must have felt at that moment."

"So yeah, if it wasn’t for that, would I have gotten so angry?"

Jane Quinlan might have been so cheerful because she had gotten her revenge.

"But how come you don’t have any interest in gossip at all?

Do you think, could this female assistant possibly have something going on with Nolan Moore?"

"Who knows about that? You’d have to ask Nolan Moore."

Kay Forrest smirked and took a sip of her drink.

"I’m definitely not asking. I’m just speculating on my own.

Think about it, if the assistant’s office sends an assistant to deliver documents to you.

Would you also invite them to stay for a cup of tea?"

Kay Forrest, with a devilish charm: "If the assistant were you, that would be a different story."

"That’s why I say there’s something off about Nolan Moore.

Not only did he keep that assistant for a chat, he even showed off his power and reprimanded his subordinates in front of her.

Definitely something fishy there."

Kay Forrest shook his head with a laugh, women are just always so sharp in this regard.

However, he couldn’t care less about their affairs, it had nothing to do with him.

The advertising department had taken on the production of a new product’s ads.

Due to some disagreements with the collaborating company on the choice of actors, Nolan Moore decided to fly to Beijing that day to resolve the issues with this collaboration.

After leaving the meeting room, he had Jane Quinlan go back and pack to accompany him on the business trip.

If it had been before, she would have been ecstatic.

After all, she had never been to Beijing.

But today, she just wasn’t that happy, okay?

She was afraid she’d miss Kay Forrest.

"What are you dazed for? Hurry up and go back?

Meet up at the airport at 2 PM, don’t be late."

"Got it, Director Moore."

On her way home she made a call to Kay Forrest.

Hearing that she was going on a business trip, Kay Forrest was quite upset.

"This Nolan Moore, couldn’t he have just taken someone from the ad department? Why drag you into it?"

"Because it’s work-related, I am his assistant."

"Don’t go."

Jane Quinlan shook her head: "No can do, business is business, and personal is personal.

Since I’ve been transferred to the Skyward Group, I need to work hard.

At the very least, I can’t let that Nolan Moore look down on me."

Though reluctant, Jane Quinlan felt she ought to accompany her leader on the trip.

It was part of her job.

At 1:20 PM she arrived punctually at the airport.

She called Nolan Moore to let him know she had arrived.

Nolan Moore said it would take him another twenty minutes or so to get there.

Jane Quinlan found a quiet place to sit and wait, and also snapped a photo of herself at the airport to send to Kay Forrest.

Kay Forrest replied with a sad emoji: "Be safe when you get there."

After waiting for over twenty minutes, Nolan Moore finally arrived.

He called her, asking where she was.

Jane Quinlan looked around and said: "I’m near the entrance of McDonald’s by Gate 4."

"Don’t move, wait there for us, we’ll be there soon."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she was a bit confused. Wait for us?

Could it be that it wasn’t just the two of them?

Thinking of it this way, she felt somewhat relieved.

It wasn’t long before Nolan Moore arrived, and the colleague he brought with him was quite a surprise to Jane Quinlan.

Well, isn’t this the female assistant whom Nolan Moore had invited for tea?

There’s an affair...
