Chapter204
However, what puzzled me was that Kimberly, as Reynaldo’s official girlfriend. didn’t get angry or even question Reynaldo when she saw him with me like this.
This is really puzzling.
After all. Kimberly is not a good person either, why didn’t she make a fuss?!
If my boyfriend or husband did this in front of another woman, I would definitely confront them directly.
After Reynaldo sat back in his chair, he took out a cigarette and lit it, then proceeded to smoke it leisurely.
None of the three of us spoke, and the atmosphere became particularly awkward.
I quickly fastened my pants button, zipped up my zipper, and stood up.
At that moment, Kimberly suddenly approached me with an innocent look on her face and asked me, “Ms. Duffy, why are you here? I remember you were working in the shanty town, right?”
“Well, Mr. Humphrey asked me to come here to work. If you have any doubts, you can directly ask Mr. Humphrey,” I said expressionlessly.
“Oh, I see.
Kimberly still wore a fake smile, without a hint of surprise on her face, ast if she had already known that I was going to work at Reynaldo’s company.
It seems that Reynaldo has already told her about this.
Alternatively, the two of them had also discussed privately how to take this opportunity to retaliate and humiliate me.
At the thought of this, a touch of bitterness flashed through my mind.
I asked Reynaldo expressionlessly. “Excuse me. Mr. Humphrey, what was my job? And could you please tell me about the salary and benefits”
Reynaldo slowly blew a smoke ring.
I instinctively stood a little further away.
He glanced at me and then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
I was stunned, amazed by his small gesture.
Did he deliberately put out the cigarette because he saw that I didn’t like the smell of smoke?
Just as I was so pleasantly surprised, Kimberly suddenly coughed twice, covering her mouth, and said, “Reynaldo, if you want to smoke, go ahead, it’s fine with me.”
Oh!
Originally, he used to put out the cigarette because Kimberly couldn’t. stand the smell of smoke.
I self–mockingly tugged at my lips, I had just almost been overly sentimental.
I really didn’t want to stay in the CEO’s office, so I asked Reynaldo, “Mr. Humphrey, should I go directly to the Personnel Department now, or what?”
