CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 283 I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN JANE QUINLAN AS MY TARGET (1 MORE UPDATE)

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly chill, Evie Larkin gave Evelyn Claire a meaningful glance.

Evelyn Claire pursed her lips and smiled, asking, "Evie, you used to be with Director Forrest as well.

I’m very curious, what type of women does Director Forrest actually like?

Exactly what kind of woman can capture our Director Forrest’s heart?"

Evie Larkin thought for a moment: "Actually, I never really understood him.

I thought I was the woman who knew him the longest and should understand him well.

But the fact is... I don’t understand him.

In the past, he liked gentle and obedient women.

But now... haha, the women he chooses surprise me.

They’re not the prettiest, not the most obedient, not even the best in figure.

In my eyes, she is very ordinary.

Ordinary family background, ordinary education, even her job was secured through backdoor.

I really don’t understand what Kay likes about her.

Perhaps, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As long as it is the right person, even if she has no merits, Kay could still love her passionately."

Wendy frowned, ordinary education, and a job got through backdoor?

She set down her coffee cup, "I can’t be bothered to gossip about these boring matters with you, I’m leaving first."

Evelyn Claire quickly said, "Hey Wendy, stay a bit longer."

"No, I need to go."

As she picked up her bag to leave, Evie Larkin said indifferently, "Wendy, do you remember that day you said you hated me?

Actually... I really felt wronged, I am a victim too.

Indeed, I still love that man, but I am very clear that no matter how hard I try, that man is no longer mine.

So, I gave up. From now on, you don’t have to hate me anymore."

Wendy scoffed and left.

After she left, Evelyn Claire asked puzzled, "Evie, who exactly is Director Forrest’s current girlfriend?

Does she really work at our company?"

Evie Larkin shrugged, "Actually, I also don’t know. I just said that to make Wendy stop hating me.

If she doesn’t hate me anymore, then in the future, I can slowly approach her and have her put in a good word for me."

"But look at Wendy’s attitude, it’s clear she doesn’t care about us at all."

Evie Larkin displayed a faint worry, "Let it be, people are all different.

Not everyone can be as easy to get along with as you."

Evelyn Claire shrugged, a smug smile appearing on her face.

The next morning, Wendy went to the human resources department.

She investigated the list of employees who got their jobs through backdoor under the name of Kay Forrest.

The investigation revealed seven people.

Among them, four men and three women.

She curiously tapped on Jane Quinlan’s name, an assistant?

At noon, when Kay Forrest went out for lunch, Wendy called the assistant’s boss, Annie, asking to treat her to lunch.

She splurged to treat Annie to a meal in a high-end Western restaurant.

As soon as they sat down, Annie asked her, "Are you needing my help with something again?"

"Oh Annie, can’t I invite you to a meal without any reason?

Initially, I got my position with Director Forrest all thanks to your help.

Although I might appear prideful, deep down, I am grateful to those who help me."

Annie smiled, "Alright, no need to beat around the bush. I know you definitely need something, otherwise you wouldn’t make such a big event out of it.

No need for flattery, just get to the point. What do you need my help for?"

Wendy chuckled, "Well, I wanted to ask about Jane Quinlan, what’s her background?

I heard she got her job through backdoor connections."

"Jane Quinlan? Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?"

Wendy raised an eyebrow, "I heard Jane seems to have some connections with our company’s executives, so I got curious."

"Indeed, Jane Quinlan was squeezed into the company by the executives upstairs.

Previously, she worked in a newspaper that Director Forrest acquired.

Later, when the newspaper wasn’t profitable, Director Forrest returned to the company, and Director Moore took over Director Forrest’s job.

Afterwards, Director Moore shifted his focus back to the company and brought Jane Quinlan along with him."

Wendy raised an eyebrow, "So does that mean Jane Quinlan is connected to Director Forrest?"

Annie shook her head, "Whether it’s Director Forrest or Director Moore, I can’t really tell.

"Making such a fuss over mere gossip?"

Wendy’s eyes carried a trace of displeasure, "Oh Annie, it’s not what you think.

Director Forrest and Director Moore have never gotten along, I am Director Forrest’s assistant, and Jane Quinlan is Director Moore’s assistant."

When the higher-ups fight, we lower-downs naturally can’t sit idle either.

That’s why I want to take a break from that Jane Quinlan who isn’t really talented.

But, I’m somewhat worried, afraid that Jane Quinlan might have some sort of relationship with Director Forrest.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t my efforts be wasted?"

"No, last time I dealt with Jane Quinlan, Director Moore even stepped in to help.

From my point of view, Director Moore and Jane Quinlan seem to have an unusual relationship.

If Jane Quinlan gets close to Director Moore, then Director Forrest would definitely not favor Jane Quinlan."

Wendy’s expression deepened, it’s possible.

"Anyway, I have already targeted Jane Quinlan as the person I’ll deal with.

Annie, we are in the same boat, you must support me no matter what."

Annie smiled and did not speak: "Alright, enough said, I am here to eat, I won’t get involved in your affairs."

"Okay, okay, Annie, have more food."

After work at night, Jane Quinlan was supposed to go home with Kay Forrest.

But then she received a call from Xiaohua.

Over the phone, Xiaohua was crying bitterly, which made Jane Quinlan feel overwhelmed.

"What’s wrong, Xiaohua, you’re crying so hard, don’t ruin your makeup."

"Are you off work? Come and have dinner with me."

"Okay, wait for me, I’ll come to pick you up at the newspaper office right away."

"Wait a minute, Jane," Xiaohua choked: "Don’t tell Benjamin Quinlan about meeting me."

"Why?"

"Just don’t say, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the newspaper office."

Xiaohua hung up after she finished speaking.

The busy signal was heard from the phone, Jane Quinlan sent a message to Kay Forrest before leaving.

Kay Forrest was originally planning to leave work early, but after receiving Jane Quinlan’s text, he called her back.

"Dear, what’s wrong, now I have to find a place to eat by myself.

Are you going to have a secret rendezvous with a lover?"

Jane Quinlan walked to the company’s gate and laughed wordlessly: "What secret rendezvous with a lover.

I would like to have one, but there needs to be one first.

It’s Xiaohua, I don’t know what’s up, she was freaking out, I’m going to see her."

"Xiaohua, that kind of guy would cry?"

"Since when did Xiaohua become a guy, so all my friends are guys in your eyes, right?"

Kay Forrest laughed: "Just kidding, go ahead, I’ll work an additional two hours."

"Okay, call me when you’re done with work."

Jane Quinlan said, and had already arrived at the bus station; she hung up the phone and took the bus to the newspaper office.

Kay Forrest put the phone aside, and called Wendy to come in via the intercom.

Wendy was already packed up and ready to leave work, yet Kay Forrest said: "Work a bit longer today, fetch the cooperation documents with Warren Group for me."

Wendy grudgingly felt unpleasant, more overtime.

"Okay, Director Forrest."

She could only think about it, she wouldn’t dare to really get angry.

After all, some people wish they could stay overtime with Director Forrest, but they don’t even have the chance.

She turned around to get the documents.

On her way back, passing by the 17th floor, as if thinking of something, she took out her phone and transferred to Jane Quinlan’s line via the switchboard.

But the phone rang for a long time with no answer.

Wendy thought, could it be that Director Forrest purposefully sent her out so Jane Quinlan could come upstairs?

She quickly went up to the top floor and ran into Kay Forrest’s office without knocking.

Hearing a bang, Kay Forrest frowned and looked up at her: "What’s going on?"

Wendy paused, looked around Kay Forrest’s office, no one?

"Eh... I just twisted my foot at the door and almost fell."

She said as she walked to Kay Forrest’s desk and put down the documents.

"Director Forrest, all the documents you requested are here."

"Go out."

"Yes," Wendy bowed and turned to leave, during which, she did not forget to look around to see if there were any corners where someone could hide.

Seeing her acting a bit off, Kay Forrest put down his pen: "Stop."

Wendy turned back to look at Kay Forrest, "Do you have any more instructions, Director Forrest?"

"What are you looking at?"

Wendy’s face tensed: "No... not looking at anything."

"Not looking at anything and sneaking around?" Kay Forrest’s voice unconsciously raised a couple of decibels: "Wendy, I really hate people lying to me, tell me, what’s really going on."
