A Man Like None Other

Chapter 83

Maria looked for Jared after work. “Jared, we have a company rule that says the newcomer must buy everyone dinner. So, where do you have in mind?” At that moment, everyone in the office was staring at Jared. They were eager to hear his plan. It was a long-standing office tradition. “There’s such a thing? Who set them? The director?” Jared was bewildered. “Jared, there’s really such a rule. When I first got here, I had to buy everyone dinner as well!

If not mistaken, I spent ten thousand on that meal! If you don’t obey the rules, your life here will be difficult,” Troy cautioned Jared with a low voice. “Jared, since you’re now in the sales department, you have to abide by the rules here. It is one of the rules I’ve set when I became the manager,” Zayne said. “You set the rules?” Jared scoffed and continued, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the money for it. Pay for your own meals.

Don’t ask of it from me as if you guys are a bunch of beggars.” Despite Zayne’s grim expression, Jared left right after he finished his sentence. “Jared is too arrogant! He’s just taking advantage of the fact that he has a special relationship with Mr. Jennings. He doesn’t respect anyone, not even Mr. Carlson!” Lydia showed up and defended Zayne. “Exactly! Even if he does have a special relationship with Mr. Jennings, he shouldn’t have spoken to Mr. Carlson rudely.

Furthermore, he likened us to a beggar! It’s not like we’d starve to death without him!” “Well, it seems like he underestimates what we could do to him. His time will come.” The staff in the sales department were infuriated. On the other hand, Troy kept his mouth shut and hid in the corner with mixed feelings. He’ll surely get sabotaged soon. But since I’m in the same team as him, I’d be suffering the consequences too!

“Hmph! There’s no such special relationship! I’ve asked Mr. Jennings already. The only reason Mr. Jennings keeps him around is that he wants to make a fool out of him!” Zayne said to the others with a cold glint in his eyes. Apparently, Zayne had already asked Xavier about Jared. Xavier told him to make

Jared look bad in front of the other employees. Although Zayne had no idea what the reason behind that was, he dared not to defy the orders of his general manager. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Everyone in the sales department left after hearing that Jared wasn’t buying them dinner. As Zayne was bidding goodbye to Maria before he left, Maria’s phone rang. It was Maria’s mom, Frieda, who called. Maria answered the call instantly. “Maria, I have good news! Glamorous Designs had cleared their debt!

They’ve repaid all the money they owed to us. Now our company is back on its feet!” Frieda exclaimed excitedly. “Really?” Maria was thrilled as well. “But we’ve been asking for the money for so long! So, why have they suddenly paid us now?” “Your dad asked around and found out that Mr. Lewis had spoken to them.

They were so scared that they paid us right after that!” “Mr. Lewis?” Maria paused and continued, “But we don’t even know him. Why did he help us?” “I was wondering about the same thing! Do you remember when I told you that Zayne wanted to use his personal connections to help us?

I think maybe Zayne knew Mr. Lewis personally. That’s why I called you. Please find out if he had anything to do with it. If so, invite him over for dinner!” Frieda answered. “Oh, I see. All right, I’ll ask him now.” Maria hung up the phone. “What’s up? Why are you so happy?” Zayne curiously asked when he saw the excitement on Maria’s face.
