CHAPTER 554: CHAPTER 264 EVIE LARKIN’S TWO-FACED TACTICS (1 MORE UPDATE)_2

"Grayson seemed a bit upset, so he had me come over."

Evie Larkin smiled, "Don’t overthink it, Grayson is just being a bit tough because he cares, wanting iron to toughen into steel."

Jane Quinlan nodded in understanding, "I’m not overthinking it, don’t worry.

Oh right, why did Miss Larkin come up too? You must have something to do.

If that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer."

"I came back from Beijing and brought a gift for Grayson.

I had just finished my work, so I decided to bring it up to him."

"I see," Jane nodded, "you should go in then, I need to hurry downstairs.

Director Moore has assigned me a lot of tasks."

Saying this, she made way, and the two of them, one entered the elevator and the other went to Grayson’s office.

As soon as Evie Larkin entered Grayson’s office, a smile appeared on her face: "Grayson, hope I’m not disturbing you."

"Most of my work has been handed over to Kay.

There’s not much else needing my attention, come sit."

Evie Larkin walked over and took a small box out of her uniform pocket, placing it on the desk and pushing it towards Grayson.

"I was in Beijing yesterday, and I brought you a gift back.

It’s nothing pricey, but I hope you won’t mind."

"Look at you, how could you still think of getting me a gift after such a tiring trip."

Evie Larkin smiled sheepishly, "It wasn’t too hectic.

By the way, I ran into Miss Quinlan on my way up.

She seemed a bit off; did something happen?"

"Is that so? She looked off?" Grayson’s expression deepened.

"These young people nowadays really can’t take much, can they?"

"Uh, you really went there.

Well...Grayson, maybe I saw wrong," Evie Larkin scratched her forehead thoughtfully.

"Now that I think about it, her complexion didn’t look too bad."

Evie Larkin was busily explaining.

But Grayson just laughed, "Alright, no need to defend her.

The young people today do tend to be a bit melodramatic."

Evie Larkin’s lips curled up in a smile: "I think Miss Quinlan is not like that.

No, it’s actually because I trust Kay’s judgment in people."

"What’s the use of your trust in him?

The kid doesn’t comprehend emotions at all."

"Whether Kay comprehends emotions or not is his business; whether I trust him is mine."

Evie Larkin finished speaking and stood up: "Alright, Grayson, I won’t keep you any longer, I’ll get back to work."

"Go ahead."

After leaving Grayson’s office, Evie Larkin’s lips raised disdainfully.

If some love can’t come no matter how long you wait.

Then she decided not to wait anymore.

She was going to change her approach, take the initiative.

Everything that should belong to her, she was going to take back.

After work, Evie Larkin shared the gifts she brought back from Beijing with her office colleagues.

Then, she made another trip to the manager’s office.

"Manager Moore, are you still busy? May I come in and take a minute of your time?"

"Come in."

Evie Larkin walked in with a chirpy smile and placed the gift on the desk.

"I bought you a bottle of perfume from Beijing."

"Look at you, going on a rare trip, instead of enjoying yourself, you still find time to pick gifts."

Evie Larkin shrugged with a smile: "Actually, I have been to Beijing many times on my own before.

There’s nothing particular I wanted to see.

Since I had some time after finishing official business, I decided to stroll through the mall."

"Having worked with you for so many years, you, my dear, are thorough.

Anyway, thank you for the gift."

"I will make good use of it."

Evie Larkin pursed her lips and smiled: "That would be my honor.

Tonight I have also arranged to meet with Director Moore to continue discussing the advertising cooperation project.

So, I’ll be clocking out now."

"Alright, go ahead, I’ll see you tomorrow."

Evie Larkin bowed respectfully, turned around to leave.

As she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and turned back.

"By the way, Manager, may I ask you something?"

"Ask."

"Is there a new employee in our department named Jane Quinlan?"

Annie nodded: "Yes, what about her?"

"Erm..." She scratched her brow slightly embarrassedly.

"We went on a business trip together yesterday, she said she was from the assistant’s office, I was somewhat skeptical."

"She was directly assigned to Director Moore’s office upon her arrival."

Evie Larkin nodded: "She... didn’t go through our department’s staff training, right?"

Annie put down her pen, sensing that Evie Larkin was implicating something.

"Evie, we’re all insiders here, just say what you want to say."

"Hey, Manager, as you know, I’m not one to prevaricate.

There are things I indeed want to say, but I’m worried that later Miss Quinlan will accuse me of speaking ill of her behind her back."

"This is just a conversation between the two of us, how would she know?"

With Annie saying this, Evie Larkin truly felt assured.

She went back to her desk: "I think Miss Quinlan is somewhat too casual in her attitude towards Director Moore.

It’s clearly written in the rules and regulations of our department.

During work hours, questioning superiors or entering conflicts with them is not allowed.

Yet, it seems like Miss Quinlan has been constantly bickering and arguing with Director Moore."

As Evie Larkin spoke, Annie’s expression also turned a bit sour.

"The people I’ve mentored have never dared to be so bold.

Alright, I’m aware of the issue now, and I will handle it. Don’t worry."

Evie Larkin stood still, hesitating for a moment, then said: "Manager, this trip, I got to know Miss Quinlan too.

She’s actually quite a nice person. Next time there’s a chance, I will invite her out to dine and talk to her."

"You know, your inability to offend people can be really troublesome at times.

Some people you shouldn’t be afraid to offend.

If they have done something wrong, they are wrong, and the more you tolerate it, the more they will take advantage of you.

Just take a look at Wendy by the young master’s side.

When she first started working there, see how arrogant she was.

After I dealt with her a few times, didn’t she also become obedient?"

Mentioning Kay Forrest, Evie Larkin’s face turned a bit bitter.

"Alright, you go back to your tasks, I will handle the matter with Jane Quinlan."

Evie Larkin nodded and turned to leave.

Jane Quinlan was busy organizing documents, and suddenly the phone rang on the office desk.

Assuming it was a call from Nolan, she casually picked it up and said: "Hello."

A moment of silence on the other end.

Jane Quinlan frowned: "Hello, this is the Advertising Department Assistant’s office."

"Jane Quinlan, do you stutter?"

A stern female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jane Quinlan was puzzled. Who was this person, and how did they know her name?

"I don’t stutter, may I know who is this?"

"If you don’t stutter, why pause for so long after saying hello when answering the phone?

As an assistant, you should be crisp and clear, ’Hello, this is the so-and-so department, so-and-so office.’

It’s clearly written in the rules and regulations, did you just ignore them all?"

Jane Quinlan was flustered, it was Manager Annie.

"Come to my office immediately."
