A Man Like None Other Chapter 114 Read Online “Yes, that’s him! He has been courting me for years, but I’ve never fancied him!” Josephine was annoyed when Xavier’s name was brought up. “How about this? I’ll explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Chance myself. After all, Dragon Bay is the perfect place for retirement.”
“That’s not necessary. My parents are happy where they are now. Besides, they have neighbors accompanying them to pa*s the time. Perhaps we can talk about it sometime in the future,” Kai suggested.
Josephine nodded as she picked up her bag and walked toward the door. Suddenly, she turned back and said, “Don’t hesitate to tell me if someone bullies you, okay? If worse comes to worst, I can just fire Xavier.”
“Do you think there’s anyone capable of bullying me?” Kai smiled cheekily.
Amused by Kai’s sense of humor, Josephine left with a smile on her face. Who am I kidding? I watched Kai defeat Steven with my own eyes. Surely no one in this company could bully Kai.
Zayne rushed into the office as soon as Josephine stepped out. “Kai, what did Ms. Sullivan talk to you about?”
With a cold gaze, Kai answered, “I’m not telling you.”
Kai exited the office after that, leaving Zayne in absolute anger.
“Hey, Kai! Just because you collected a debt, that doesn’t mean you can disrespect me! I’m your manager!” Zayne screamed at the top of his lungs.
The rest of the staff gathered around Kai the moment they saw him coming out. They were all curious about the conversation Kai had with Josephine. To their dismay, Kai kept his mouth zipped.
Kai was busy compiling the documents on all the debtors throughout the afternoon. He then sent the documents to Tommy.
Just minutes away from getting off work, Xavier dropped by the sales department. His visit had unsettled the whole department because the employees were worried that he might order them to work overtime.
“Hi, Mr. Jennings!” Zayne rushed to greet him.
Xavier scanned the floor before purposefully gazing at Kai. He then said to Zayne, “Mr. Carlson, due to the exemplary performance of your department, I’d like to buy everyone dinner. Make sure everyone will be there. The venue is Vintage Restaurant.”
Xavier turned to leave after making the announcement while Zayne stood rooted to the spot.
Surprised, Maria walked toward Zayne and asked, “Did Mr. Jennings just say he wants to buy us dinner? Not only that, but he also complimented our performance?”
Zayne was equally startled. He nodded and wondered out loud, “What has gotten into Mr. Jennings today? Is he all right?”
Truth be told, Xavier had never treated them to a meal before. Furthermore, Zayne was constantly lambasted for debt collection issues during corporate meetings. The former’s sudden change of attitude caught everyone off guard.
“Mr. Carlson, isn’t that good news? Why are you still standing there like a lemon? Quickly let the others know!” Lydia was very excited upon hearing the announcement.
“Oh! You’re right!” Zayne regained his senses and informed the others hurriedly before any of them leave the building. Mr. Jennings said to make sure that everyone will be there!
“Listen up, everyone! Mr. Jennings is very pleased with our performance. Hence, he’d like to invite all of us for dinner. He explicitly said that everyone in our department must be there.”
The staff started cheering upon hearing that. “Wow! Vintage Restaurant? That’s awesome!”
“That’s one of the best restaurants in Horington! It’s as famous as Glamor Hotel!”
“What’s with Mr. Jennings’ sudden act of generosity?”
“I have to go touch up my makeup! I must look my best for Mr. Jennings!”
Suddenly, everyone was rushing to get themselves ready for dinner. The ladies stormed the washrooms to freshen themselves up.
