A Warrior Undefeatable novel Chapter 81

“Didn't you tell Mr. Jennings that Jared is an ex-convict?” Maria continued pursuing the matter.

“Of course, I did! I almost had a heart attack at the look in Mr. Jennings' eyes at that time. If I dared to dissuade him further, he might even demote me!”

In fact, Zayne was still fearful when he recalled Xavier's gaze earlier.

“Don't tell me he's really acquainted with Mr. Jennings?” Maria's brows creased.

“Let's just observe how things are first. If he's really acquainted with Mr. Jennings, we can't target him anymore in the future. Instead, you'll have to fawn over him,” Zayne reminded.

“I know that!” Maria rolled her eyes before stalking out of the office.

By then, the dozen or so people in the sales department had already heard that the general manager himself gave the order to employ an ex-convict.

Such a matter spread very quickly in the company, especially a gossip like this.

“That man named Jared must be somehow associated with Mr. Jennings. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hired!”

“I can't help feeling scared that an exconvict is going to work alongside me.”

“We've got to be careful when he arrives later. If he really knows Mr. Jennings, we'll be dead if we accidentally offend him!”

The staff in the sales department gathered and whispered among themselves.

“What are you all doing? Do you not have any work?” Maria reproached coldly upon seeing everyone gossiping together when she exited the office.

Although she was merely an ordinary sales representative in the sales department, she always threw her weight around. After all, no one dared to offend her when Zayne was the department manager.

Following her reprimand, everyone dispersed. Only a girl with short hair headed toward her.

That girl was known as Lydia Wilson, and she was very close to Maria.

“Maria, have you heard that the sales department has recruited an ex-convict? And it's rumored that Mr. Jennings himself made the hiring decision, so they're probably associated somehow,” Lydia whispered to Maria.

“Nonsense! How could he possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings? It's just dumb luck!”
