Coupled with the previous conversations Rita had with the boss, she deeply doubted her female colleague's judgment. Rita did not hold any expectations.
However, the other colleagues seemed excited. They gathered around to gossip to the point of even neglecting their work.
Chase was very pleased. It was clear that the boss intended to criticize Rita at the staff meeting. Perhaps he could even get rid of this annoying newcomer altogether.
Thinking about how there would be no one left in the department to challenge him in the future, Chase felt rather satisfied.
With a stack of documents in hand, he walked up to Rita's desk, leaned against her workspace, and clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
Rita did not even bother to lift her head. She found him extremely irritating and had no desire to engage with him.
Chase sneered inwardly at her indifference. 'Let's see how long she keeps this calm facade on her.' The thought of her being caught off-guard and criticized filled him with even more satisfaction.
"Well, someone like you should make the most of your time here. After all, you could be fired any day," he remarked cryptically, basking in the attention from all directions.
Rita smirked mockingly. 'This guy is truly out of his mind. Parading around like he owned the place. Just how insufferably arrogant can he be?'
Someone could not contain their curiosity and leaned in next to Chase. "Chase, you sound like you know something. Is the boss planning to fire someone at the meeting? Why else would you say that?"
Chase glanced at him askance. "You'll find out when the meeting starts. I know some details, but it's not convenient for me to tell you."
However, Chase's words could not be entirely baseless. Who and what went wrong?
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's talk about the main issue of the day," said Lenny, holding a newspaper and taking his place at the head of the table.
Chase craned his neck, unable to see the contents. Could it be that someone was going to be praised?
"I don't know if any of you have the habit of reading our competitors' newspapers, but recently, I came across an interesting article. That's why I called this meeting, to share it with all of you."
Chase grinned. "Anything that catches your eye must be an excellent article. Let's hurry up and project it so we can all see and learn."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
