She swallowed her saliva.
Daniel asked: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."
As she spoke, she turned and walked toward the stairwell. She opened the door and quickly left.
Daniel was puzzled. How could it be wrong?
This was the 36th floor, who would go to the 36th floor accidentally?
Besides, why did she take the stairs? Dis she has to run down there on foot?
Shaking his head, he turned around and returned to his desk in front of the CEO's office. He took out his car key and prepared to go downstairs again.
Taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of the dishes that were placed on William Walton's table yesterday and the weird ringtone in William Walton's resting room.
He smacked his head.
No wonder William Walton told him to leave these past few days when it was time to get off work. It seemed like he was secretly messing with that woman just now.
Didn't that mean he had ruined William Walton's plans?
After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and knocked on the door to the CEO's office.
"Come in."
Seeing that it was Daniel, William Walton frowned: "Daniel?"
Sure enough, William Walton was waiting for someone.
"Mr. Walton, I forgot to bring my car keys when I was leaving. When I came back just now to get my car keys, I met Miss Green at the elevator."
William Walton frowned: "Where is she now?"
"She said she went wrong and left from the stairwell."
William Walton said coldly: "You forgot to bring your car keys when you ate. What's the use of your brain?"
Daniel felt injured, people make mistakes.
William Walton took out his phone and called her.
After the call connected, an urgent voice came from the other end, "It's over, it's over. I was just seen by your secretary. Luckily, I was smart and said I went the wrong way. Now I've sneaked downstairs. I don't know if he will suspect me."
William Walton rolled his eyes at Daniel.
Daniel immediately lowered his eyes.
"He's gone. You can come up."
"No, I'm scared to death. You eat lunch by yourself."
Saying that, she directly hung up the phone.
She stayed at the foot of the stairs, sat down on the steps, opened her lunchbox, and began to eat.
William Walton threw his phone on the table and stared at Daniel.
Daniel felt even more guilty: "Mr. Walton, I'm sorry."
"Can I have you're sorry as a meal? Order me lunch. "
"Yes."
Daniel left his office feeling guilty.
Halfway through the meal, someone pushed open the door at the top of the stairs and smoked a cigarette.
Seeing her there, he closed the door and left.
A few minutes later, the staircase door opened again and Jerry came in.
He walked up to her and smiled.
"So, you're eating here."
Feeling awkward for a while, she wiped the corner of her mouth and decided to put the lunchbox away.
It was said that dogs who ate were not allowed to be disturbed.
She pointed to his bowl and asked, "Then what you are eating now, is not something I made?"
William Walton raised his eyebrows, "So, our lunch hour has been changed tonight? OK, I agree."
Even if she brought him food at noon every day, he would come in the evening too, she thought.
Since that was the case, why would she say no?
A week later, she officially began teaching the company's staff.
Perhaps it was because she had been a home tutor before, she performed best out of the four temporary instructors.
When the morning lecture ended, she felt that it was very enjoyable.
At noon, just as she was about to leave, Amy called out to her.
"Laura, let's eat together."
Her voice was loud.
Most of the people in the office heard it.
It wouldn't be good to reject her in front of so many people.
Thus, she nodded her head.
The two of them went to the company's restaurant as usual.
When they were eating, Amy asked, "Have you noticed that the atmosphere in the office has been weird recently?"
Laura shook her head.
"Ah, it can't be. You don't listen to anything outside the window, you only focus on your work. I heard that in the past, Annie is the center of all the offices, she is used to showing off and has always been the most respected one, but in these past few days, don't you see that Annie is very docile? Everyone is praising the new director. "
She smiled warmly, "It's better not talk about other people's matters. After all, this has nothing to do with us."
"Actually, a week ago, after Annie bullied you, I also hated her a lot. Even she has been bullied by the new director, she deserves it."
Before she could say anything, Annie's sarcastic voice came from the side.
"Ah, you are so mean. Is that funny talking something bad about me behind my back?"
