Chapter 429 She Had Never Seen Such a Shameless Man Before
After Bianca sat down, Yanis swept her penetrating gaze around the office and said sternly, "Now that the urban reconstruction project has already begun, I hope that all of you can complete your tasks to the best of your abilities! Not only that, everyone here has to cooperate with each other. No one can attempt to sabotage another. If I discover it, your name will be instantly removed from the list!" "Yes." Everyone nodded, though a hint of disdain flashed past Bella's face.
When it was almost time to go off work, Yanis told everyone that there would be a joint meeting between T Corporation and Vivi Group the next day. The main agenda would be about everyone's progress in the urban reconstruction project. She emphasized that higher management from both companies, including the CEO of T Corporation and chairman of Vivi Group, would be present at the meeting of unprecedented scale.
Bianca felt immense pressure after hearing Yanis's announcement.
Would she be able to maintain her composure when facing the higher management of both companies?
Bianca wanted to remain in the company to prepare the required information for tomorrow. However, Yanis said that it was a good opportunity for the combined team to have dinner at Blue Honors. Not only could they welcome the new member, but they could also get to know each other better.
"Let's go to dinner. It's at Blue Honors, so the food must be good. My baby will get to enjoy the food too!" Sue said cheerfully as she tidied up her desk.
Nina glanced at Sue and suggested, "Don't you watch the news? Some women tend to overeat after they get pregnant, and their babies end up getting too much nutrition and grow too big. They could only
deliver their babies through C-Section. You shouldn't eat too much." "Ah... that can't be!" Sue was shocked.
Her appetite had been very good since she got pregnant, and she had never controlled her intake of food.
Nina rolled her eyes at Sue. "It's true. Why would I deceive you?" "Boo hoo... looks like I have to watch what I eat."
Sue rubbed her stomach sorrowfully and said, "Did you hear that, my baby?
I'll have to watch what I eat because of you. How suffering..."
Nina and Bianca looked at each other and smiled when they saw Sue's comedic expression.
Bianca's smile was gentle as she discreetly touched her stomach.
It was still flat.
Nina jokingly tickled Bianca when she saw that Bianca was lost in thought." Hey, Bea, I notice that you've been distracted often, and you tend to smile for no reason. Tell me, will there be good news between you and the boss?"
Bianca shut down her computer and said, "...You think too much. There's no such thing. Let's go. The people from Vivi Group have already left.’
Even Sue was going to the dinner. Bianca did not have any reason to decline.
She sent a message to Luke, saying that she would be having dinner with her colleagues at Blue Honors and she would be back late. He did not have to wait for her, and she would take a cab home after dinner.
Luke knew that such work dinners were inevitable. Moreover, he trusted Yanis's character, and he was at ease that the dinner was at Percy's turf. He reminded Bianca that she should not take alcohol, and told her to let him know when she was done with dinner so that he could pick her up.
Bianca walked out of the building with Yanis and the others.
As they walked past a washroom, Bella suddenly clutched her stomach and said, "Ah, my stomach hurts. I'm sorry, Ms. Fuller, I'll have to go to the washroom. I'll catch up with you all later."
Yanis looked at Bella. Be quick!" "I know where Blue Honors is, Ms. Fuller. You can leave without me. Just let me know the room number later, and I'll go and look for you."
Yanis thought for a while and said, "That works too. We'll be leaving first.
Don't be too late." "Mm."
As Bella watched the rest of the people leave, her eyes transfixed on Bianca's back, plotting something...
It was not the first time Bianca was at Blue Honors. However, she was always impressed by the interior decor every time she was there.
The atmosphere at the dinner was jovial.
At first, they were slightly awkward because the usually strict Yanis was there.
However, Yanis was very different when she was not at work. Not only was she friendly, but she was even cracking jokes with everyone. Her refined speech and humorous attitude made her look like an elder sister to everyone. That was the first time Bianca had known that side of her.
Armand was another individual who had left a strong impression. He was very fond of cracking jokes and made everyone laugh.
Bianca was uneasy that Armand was looking at her with an affectionate gaze...
After dinner, Yanis suggested that they go to a karaoke bar.
Blue Honors's entertainment facilities were on the eighth floor. The people did not have to move to another location, which was quite convenient.
The private room at the karaoke bar was spacious enough to accommodate the entire party.
Yanis stayed in the room for a while before leaving. She told everyone to have a good time.
In the private room, Tom, Macauley, Anand, and the other men were drinking. Michelle was hogging the microphone and singing, though unfortunately, she did not have any talents and often went off-key. Everyone was awkward, except for Gerard, the assistant manager, who never stopped clapping his hands.
Sue and Nina covered their mouths and giggled.
Bianca sat on the couch eating fruit from a plate. From time to time, she would chat with Sue and Nina.
At that moment, Anand came over and sat down next to Bianca. "Hello, nice to meet you," he spoke with a foreign accent, "Dare I ask if you are currently seeing anyone?"
Bianca discreetly shifted away. "Mm, I have a boyfriend."
A hint of disappointment flashed on Anand's handsome face, and he shrugged. "That's too bad. I thought that I've found the light of my life, but you're already in a relationship... Never mind, are you married?" "Not yet, but I'll be soon. My boyfriend is making preparations."
Anand instantly became excited. "You're not married yet? It means that I still have a chance. Isn't there a saying, 'All is fair in love and war?' From now on, I have my sights on you." "..." Bianca was speechless.
She had never seen such a shameless man before. He might look like a gentleman, but why did he ignore her rejection toward him?
