Chapter 428: 424, No authority to interfere
Titus Zane did not know how Linda had won Wesley Foley’s heart, but their manner of interacting seemed very harmonious.
Ever since Linda started working at the company, Wesley Foley had stopped asking her to make coffee, and tasks that were previously within the secretary’s job scope were no longer assigned to her.
It seemed that Linda was an all-around talent; sometimes Wesley even sought her opinions.
Meanwhile, Titus also felt that Wesley had become colder towards her, especially that day after work when she ran into Alder Locke pestering her at the company’s entrance.
At that moment, Wesley merely glanced over indifferently and did not step forward to intervene, instead, he walked down the steps towards his car.
Although Wesley said nothing, Titus could clearly see that his expression was not very pleasant.
The next day, after she finished reporting the schedule, just as Titus was about to turn and leave, Wesley spoke first.
Leaning in his executive chair, twisting a signing pen between his fingers, he looked at her with a somewhat frivolous demeanor.
"Miss Carry, indeed, I had misjudged you before—you had your brother-in-law come to work in Banyan City, and now you’ve even connected with Banyan City’s Locke Family, it seems your charm is indeed significant."
Although she had no particular thoughts about Wesley Foley, nobody liked being misunderstood.
Especially by someone who had previously trusted and taken care of her, being treated this way by Wesley made Titus feel an indescribable sensation.
It felt like falling out with a long-time friend; it was simply uncomfortable.
She tucked the schedule under her arm, looking at Wesley with a stern face.
"Director Foley, I think you have misunderstood something."
Wesley raised his eyebrows. "Oh? What have I misunderstood? Let’s hear it."
"Firstly, my brother-in-law is an independent entity, and where he chooses to work is not something I can control.
Secondly, the Locke Family that you mentioned, I do not know them, and the man who was pestering me at the company entrance yesterday, I had only met him briefly before.
Moreover, as a company employee, being pestered at my workplace, I thought you, Director Foley, would intervene,"
At this point, Titus paused for a moment, her previous sternness suddenly turning into a light laugh, which upon closer inspection, was actually her mocking herself.
Wesley frowned, listening to her.
"However, your reaction yesterday really disappointed me."
After speaking, she slightly bowed her head, "Director Foley, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave."
The last phrase returned to her professional demeanor, polite yet also distant.
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the office door and without waiting for Wesley to respond, Linda entered carrying coffee, pausing slightly upon seeing Titus in the room, then continued towards Wesley with the coffee.
"President, please try the flavor of today’s coffee and see if it suits your palate."
With a slight nod, Titus turned and walked out of the office, her back straight, her swan-like neck slightly lifted.
For some reason, when she lived in T city, she used to walk ahead while people whispered behind her back, and she never cared, perhaps because she had become accustomed to it.
But today, being misunderstood by Wesley made her feel severely stifled.
It felt like between friends, where you trust him completely, but he harbors suspicions about you.
Back in her office, Titus called Sister Hua, who had not been in contact with her since Linda had flown back to the country.
She wanted to hear Sister Hua’s opinion; perhaps now was the time for her to step back.
If there is no trust, then there’s no need for her to continue playing the role of a Holy Mother saving the world, especially since she is just an ordinary person.
