Chapter 457: 453, I can help you find carry
, going back to his own office to pack up, there really wasn’t much to pack up in the first place.
Working as an assistant under Wesley Foley for two months, aside from reporting on travel schedules, what he did most was accompany him to the research institute.
Instead of calling it a CEO’s assistant, it was more like being Wesley Foley’s lackey.
Seeing Titus Zane come out with his few possessions, Linda leaned on the secretary’s desk with her arms crossed, not even bothering to greet him.
She watched Titus Zane enter the elevator before turning back to the secretary’s desk.
...
Hotels near the tourist spots in City H.
Looking at the woman blocking the elevator door, Colt Thornton was clearly impatient.
"I said, aren’t you done yet, woman? I already told you I don’t know you, why are you still sticking to me without end!"
"Mr. Thornton, please listen to me, I really do know you!" Xiao Man said anxiously, spreading her arms to prevent Colt Thornton from leaving, "And I really do know carry."
After sizing up Xiao Man from head to toe, Colt Thornton scoffed coldly, "You? Know carry? What a joke!"
Seeing that Colt Thornton still refused to believe, Xiao Man raised two fingers, "Mr. Thornton, I swear to you, if I don’t know carry then..."
"Enough, enough, nobody’s listening to your oath. My wife and son are still waiting downstairs."
Xiao Man hadn’t finished swearing when she was interrupted impatiently by Colt Thornton, who roughly pushed her aside and continued toward his room.
"Mr. Thornton, if I can help you find carry, would you give me a reward!"
Xiao Man called out from behind, not giving up. Colt Thornton stopped, turned back, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if scrutinizing the truth in Xiao Man’s words.
Seeing Colt Thornton appeared somewhat convinced, Xiao Man hurriedly trotted over, standing in front of him, "Mr. Thornton, it’s always been me rolling in bed with you, carry only lies beside you when you’re about to wake up."
Colt Thornton’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really, it’s the absolute truth." Xiao Man nodded frantically, she had received a call from carry a few days ago saying she intended to retire, so she should also find a way out for herself.
Colt Thornton’s narrowed eyes suddenly widened, he glanced at the phone in Xiao Man’s hand, "Fine, then call her."
"Okay, I’ll call right now."
...
After leaving the company’s main entrance, Titus Zane threw those few but not many possessions directly into a roadside trash can, stood by the roadside, hailed a taxi, and just as he was about to tell the driver the address, the ringing of the phone in his bag began.
After giving the driver his apartment’s address, Titus Zane retrieved his phone from the bag, glanced at the caller, and then answered.
"Xiao Man?"
"carry, it’s me." Xiao Man’s voice came through the earpiece, sounding just like before.
"Have you left Banyan City?"
"Not yet, I’m about to leave." Titus Zane spoke truthfully, Xiao Man had always been his subordinate, and now that he was retiring, he wanted to arrange a good place for Xiao Man as well.
"carry, where do you plan to go? Back overseas?"
"I’m planning to first go back to City T, there are some things I need to handle, I’ll make further plans after everything’s settled."
"Oh, is that so," On the other end of the phone, Xiao Man looked up at Colt Thornton across from her, a hint of triumph curling her lips. She had the speakerphone on, so every word exchanged with Titus Zane was heard by Colt Thornton.
"Anything else?"
Titus Zane asked, watching the tightly narrowed eyes of Colt Thornton, Xiao Man smiled and said, "Nothing, we’ll contact you again once you’re back in City T, so I can deliver the money I borrowed from you."
