Talia finally looked up at Kendrick, her eyes were indifferent, and her tone was flat: “Hmm, congratulations to you.”
Kendrick was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Talia to react like this.
He frowned and thought it was absurd, “What did you say?”
In his memory, Talia, he was the only one in his heart and eyes, and he would definitely make a big fuss because of this.
She couldn’t bear to part with him, isn’t it?
Congratulations?
However, she actually said congratulations to him?
Kendrick whispered, “If you regret it, maybe I could still give you a chance…”
But faced with Talia’s cold gaze, he suddenly remembered that scene from the night at the bar when she had thrown a bottle at him.
In the past, not to mention injuring him, Talia would even inquire about his well–being for a long time if she heard him cough.
With a sour feeling in his chest, Kendrick furrowed his brow and said, “Don’t you want this opportunity?”
Talia’s gaze was quite calm, and she sneered, “I don’t care.”

As soon as the words fell, she didn’t hesitate and directly reached out to press the elevator button.
Raymond didn’t expect to have eaten so much melon, trying to lower his own presence.
Seeing Talia enter the elevator, he, like a little brother, quickly followed.
Without waiting for Kendrick’s reaction, the elevator door had already closed.
The distance between several people was forcibly separated.
Kendrick stared at the elevator doors for several seconds, his face turning pale.
Just then, an employee from the Marketing Department happened to pass by.
She held a stack of documents in her hands and smiled as she handed them over. “Mr. Deven, I didn’t expect to find you here. These all need your signature.”
“Get lost.”
Kendrick reached out and knocked over the documents, white papers flying everywhere.
The employees were so scared that they didn’t dare to breathe. They had never seen Kendrick lose his temper like this in the office before, and they thought they must have. done something wrong.
She took two steps back, fearfully pressed against the wall, and tried to minimize her presence.

Milton had just come out of another elevator when he saw the situation and caught up, saying, “Kendrick, what’s going on? Are you feeling down? Let’s grab a drink together after work.”
Kendrick remained silent and walked towards the office with a cold expression on his face.
Milton followed closely, but little did he know that when they entered the office, Kendrick “slammed” the door shut.
“It was strange.”
Milton almost bumped his nose, shrugged his shoulders, and couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of person could make Kendrick so angry?
According to the CEO Office Division’s practice, on the first day of a new employee’s joining, there was a departmental dinner.
The venue for the gathering was a high–end restaurant, a seven–star one, located on the busiest street in Maplehelm, called Zavala Restaurant.
Hundreds of magnificent skyscrapers were said to have been built, resembling royal palaces inside.
Behind the grandeur and magnificence, it also represents high consumption.
Everyone knew that Zavala Restaurant was a famous gold mine, and only VIPS could book the private rooms inside. The minimum spending started at six figures.
In the CEO Office Division pantry, an employee was making

coffee and asked, “Ms. Shepard, I heard that Mr. Deven personally spoke up and said that he will foot the bill for all the expenses at Zavala Restaurant that he has arranged for us. Is it true or not?”
Ashleigh smiled, pursing her lips. “Mr. Deven is generous, even to us subordinates. He’s on a business trip in Aurivelle, but he still thinks of us. He probably can’t join the dinner, so he’s giving us a benefit.”
Madisyn Bauer brewed a cup of coffee and casually added a cube of sugar into it. “What’s the name of the new employee in Project Team Two? By the way, we also benefited from her presence, didn’t we?”
Ashleigh furrowed her brow slightly, “The name is quite ordinary, I didn’t remember it. Riding on her coattails? That’s not necessarily the case, she’s just a newcomer, where does she get such a big face?”
Ashleigh didn’t seem very impressed with the new employee. Madisyn agreed, saying, “Yeah, maybe Mr. Deven just wants to treat us and show his appreciation. Let’s go, Ms. Shepard, it’s about time we left.”
On the way to the restaurant, Talia took out her phone and messaged Kayson: “Did you arrange the dinner? It was too extravagant.”
The minimum spending was in the six figures, just thinking about it made Talia feel a pain in her wallet. All that money was just going down the drain.
Kayson responded quickly to the message: “Warm
congratulations to Mrs. Deven on joining the Galaxia Group CEO Office Division. This is a gesture from your husband, so

enjoy it and don’t have any psychological burden.”
Talia pursed her lips and gently set down her phone.

Although these money didn’t mean much to Kayson, Talia was still very touched..
No one had ever splurged on her like this before. She understood that Kayson wanted her to get along with her colleagues and integrate quickly, so that she could fully engage in her work.
Shyla Gillespie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was the same age as Talia.
After Talia got in the car, she kept her head down, pressing her phone. She turned her head and curiously asked, “Talia, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Cough, cough.”
Talia hadn’t spoken yet when Raymond couldn’t help but cough twice.
Not only did she have a boyfriend, but her boyfriend was also Prince Maplehelm. They even had a fight, which resulted in her being sent to the hospital.
After learning about Talia’s identity in the morning, Raymond did not disclose it to anyone.
These were personal privacy matters, and the people who could enter the CEO Office Division were all very tight–lipped.
However, the thought of a wealthy young lady like her becoming his subordinate, Raymond felt very strange.

He had to take good care of her!
Worried about Talia’s embarrassment, Raymond quickly said, “Shyla, don’t be so nosy.”
The Project Team Two had few employees, only three of them. They used to get along and were very casual with each other.
Shyla innocently blinked her eyes.
Today she was too busy with work. Talia came over to Project Team Two and didn’t have time to greet properly. She just wanted to find a topic to chat about.
Now, as I think about it, suddenly asking like this seems a bit abrupt, Shyla scratches her head apologetically.
I thought to myself that I would definitely have a good drink with Talia later, as a way to make amends.
As soon as Talia got out of the car, her phone rang.
Talia gestured for them to go in first, while she stood at the entrance of the restaurant answering a phone call.
It was Maeve who called, “Talia, tomorrow evening at seven o’clock, you go on a blind date at Palm Restaurant. The person was personally chosen by me, and there’s nothing to say about their appearance and character. Let me tell you, don’t think that just because you joined Galaxia Group, Kendrick will even spare a glance for you. He doesn’t even have you in his mind.”
