Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Primrose has always attended wine parties with Joel; this is what directors like him often have to do to keep a good relationship with directors of other companies. Cooperation later is also convenient. more favorable, so Primrose did not refuse.
"I can; what time is it tonight?"
Nancy drank a lot yesterday, so maybe she's not interested in going to the bar today; Primrose is just free. Joel received Primrose's consent and quickly arranged the schedule.
"8 p.m. begins. Today I will come to pick you up after work, take you to dinner first, and then go buy clothes and makeup together?"
These wine party guests cannot wear anything too casual because the clothes Primrose wears will reflect her status, which is extremely important. Therefore, it is usually pre-ordered by famous brands based on Primrose's measurements.
Perhaps today's party was held unexpectedly, so Joel did not have time to prepare in advance. The two of them would be like last time, going to high-end brands to choose clothes and then asking them to fix them according to Primrose's measurements.
"Okay, then I'll call you when I get off work."
Primrose made a quick decision; Joel also nodded in agreement, finished his breakfast, and took Primrose to the office as usual.
When Primrose came to the company, Nancy also came, lazily resting her chin in front of the desk. Seeing Primrose, she happily waved her hand.
"Primrose, are you still sane enough to go to work? Didn't cause any trouble yesterday? Did you and Joel have a quarrel because we drank too much yesterday?"
Nancy knows that Primrose and Joel's relationship is now somewhat plastic, not as close as a normal couple, so she is somewhat worried that Primrose and Joel will disagree and break the relationship. However, after Primrose seriously thought about it, everything was fine.
Joel is still very careful to take care of her; this morning he also did not repeat the old story, even less intend to blame her or remind her to pay more attention next time. This comfort from Joel makes Primrose very pleased; she hates when others interfere in her private life and forbid her from doing things she likes.
"It's okay; it's fine. How are you? Have you and Brave been in contact since last night until today?"
It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to Nancy, she reveals an awkward expression. She is now regretting why she drank so much yesterday that she was no longer alert enough to manage her words.
"Then, when I got home last night, I woke up in the middle of the night. At that time, perhaps motivated by alcohol, Brave called Brave, scolding him for a few hours."
Nancy, of course, doesn't remember exactly what she said in the end; she only vaguely remembers her saying a lot of things, expressing all the discontent she has endured during her time with Brave. And Brave, on the other side, being woken up in the middle of the night, did not show any discomfort; on the contrary, he patiently listened to all of Nancy's complaints, occasionally responding to a few words when Nancy asked him something angry. there.
Originally, Nancy had forgotten these things, thinking it was a dream scene, but this morning, when she woke up and looked at the call log that was more than two hours long at two o'clock in the morning, the vague memories gradually became clear. Everything is true.
She furiously scolded Brave, questioned Brave's relationship with the other coworker, and then complained about how upset she must be when Brave didn't care too much about her.
Primrose listened and could only keep silent; obviously, she did not expect this situation to happen. She took a few seconds to keep up with the story, asking a question that was supposed to be key.
"Then what? "Did Brave and you have any communication this morning?"
Nancy shook her head. After waking up and feeling that everything was too scary, she could only avoid and go to the company, no longer having the courage to contact Brave anymore. Not to mention, last night Nancy's memory only stopped at her constantly mumbling Brave calling Brave a bad guy, without any memory of how Brave responded.
This directly caused Nancy to collapse.
Therefore, she had to pretend not to remember anything without mentioning or actively explaining it to Brave. Moreover, maybe today Brave's work at the hospital is also quite busy or she wants to give Nancy time to calm down, so she hasn't texted or called Nancy yet.
"It's okay; everything will be fine."
Primrose didn't know how to comfort others, dryly speaking. Nancy didn't care too much about it either, chatting with Primrose for a few more sentences before it was time for work.
"So what have you heard? Our department is about to have a new employee just appointed; tomorrow he will come to the company for the first day of work."
Primrose and Nancy's department had just had a resignation last month, so the company quickly recruited new people to not disrupt the work. Primrose normally doesn't care too much about these things, but Nancy loves to talk about them.
"I heard she's a pretty girl; she used to go to the same high school as us."
Nancy has little acquaintance with other members of the company, and she just discussed this with them this morning.
"Oh, is that so? So I'll come a little early tomorrow and see if any of our old classmates move to the same company as us."
Primrose was only a little interested at this time and replied, with Nancy adding a few more words, and it was time to work. Today the amount of work is still moderate as usual; during working hours there are no incidents, and Primrose leaves work on time.
When the car came out of the company lobby, Joel's car stopped at a familiar location.
"Are you tired today? Do you want to go back to take a bath first or go to dinner first?"
It was still early. Joel tapped the steering wheel lightly, tilting his head to look at Primrose. Primrose lazily leaned back in the passenger seat of the car, closed her eyes to rest for a while, and felt that her whole body was less tired. She lazily opened her eyes, silently deciding.
"Go take a shower and order food home; I feel like I'm all dusty."
Primrose is a clean person; normally, when she comes home from work, she will shower first. Today is no exception. Joel obeyed Primrose, drove home slowly, and ordered some of Primrose's favorite food while she showered.
"That's right; is there anything I need to pay attention to tonight? For example, when people come to say hello, they have to have an elegant smile, or actively communicate with famous people in the business world?"
Primrose finished showering, sat down directly on the chair opposite Joel, and asked curiously while eating. At wine parties, the directors often take the opportunity to chat and build a good relationship with each other so that the two companies can cooperate later. Primrose tilted her head to look at Joel, showing that she could play the role of a gentle wife, but Primrose did not want her to be condescending or flatter others.
"It's not necessary; if you don't want to communicate with me, I can be quiet; do whatever you want."
Now that I am also one of the young and rich entrepreneurs in the business world, flattered by many people, there are very few people I have to try to strike up a conversation with to build a relationship with."
Joel's words made Primrose extremely reassured, and she happily ate another piece of salad.
"I will stand by your side, so you just do what you want; there is no need to put yourself down to please anyone; this is not necessary."
Joel helped Primrose tuck a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear. Today he wants to bring Primrose to replace the announcement that he is married, and the girls around him who want to flirt with him can put an end to that thought.
He didn't want any more Mias to show up and insult Primrose.
