"What's wrong? You're so distracted. Can't you at least pretend to enjoy shopping with me?" Hannah found it funny. Jenna said that she was going shopping with her, but in such a short period of time, she started to feel restless. Judging from her wandering look, it was most likely that she was thinking about her husband, Hansen!
Alas, why was this woman so useless?
"Hannah, don't creep up on me like that! You scared me." Jenna saw that it was Hannah and she couldn't help but to chide her. Being frightened by Hannah, she snapped out of her thoughts.
"Hey, it's you who was distracted. You kept looking around. I couldn't see you. So, I found you here. I was just standing over here." Hannah rolled her eyes. "Can't you be more focused? What in the world are you looking for? Is your husband coming over?"
"It's not like that." Jenna pulled Hannah to the side and asked in a low voice, "Hannah, did you just hear a woman's name, Liya, being called?"
Liya? Hannah shook her head and asked doubtfully, "I didn't hear this name at all. What's wrong?"
No? Jenna was even more perturbed. The woman's voice was loud. Although Hannah was in the fitting room, it was not far away and was even closer to the two women. Since Hannah didn't hear anything, was it really her illusion?
"Nothing." She shook her head and was no longer in the mood to resume shopping.
Anyway, Hannah was so immersed when trying on clothes. Not to mention the name of an irrelevant person, a thunder would not attract her attention either.
Hannah could see that Jenna was not in the mood. After trying a few more clothes, she finally ended the shopping trip early.
Jenna drove to the underground parking lot of Collier Manor.
By the time she returned to Collier Manor with bags of new clothes, Hansen had not come back yet.
Larry had finished preparing the meal. When she saw Jenna, she went back to Richards Manor.
Jenna was deep in thought as she sat on the sofa. If the Liya she met in the mall was the employee from Richards Group, her impression towards her would turn sour as she dared to go shopping during working hours.
Liya was usually well-behaved and knew how to
please others, especially her superiors.
As for such a subordinate, Jenna actually didn't like her much. If she put all her efforts into pleasing others, she may not perform her job well.
In addition, this newly established global network studio not only required computer expertise but also personnel with good character. It was because many trade secrets of the Richards Group were in the database. There would be potential risks if they hired an unprincipled employee.
As she thought about this, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was almost two o'clock.
She lifted her sleepy eyes and took a look.
The house was quiet, and Hansen had not come back.
Sitting there in a daze, she was lost in thought.
Since she started working, they came back to rest every day at noon. Why didn't he show up that day? They had an appointment.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Hansen. She looked at the time and was afraid that he would be sleeping soundly somewhere. After all, he had been working endlessly in the evening. She decided to give up.
After having a meal and taking a shower, she went straight back to the company.
Without Hansen pestering her, she arrived rather early.
As soon as she signed in at the front desk, she suddenly thought of something and went to the 86th floor.
The global network studio was quiet.
There was still a few minutes before work. There should be no one present yet.
Jenna didn't know what she was doing there, but she came to see if the woman named Liya had left the office that morning!
She didn't think that she would be able to meet anyone there at this time.
However, when she snuck into the computer studio, the scene she saw still surprised her.
In the computer studio, a slim figure was concentrating on work. Even when Jenna walked in and stood next to her, the person did not notice her at all.
Jenna's bright eyes blinked and she lowered her head to have a look.
Liya was indeed busy with the sales procedures chart of the Richards Group.
She tilted her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and made a soft grunt.
"Ah, Ms. Murphy, hello." Liya was startled by Jenna's light snort. When she saw Jenna, she immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully.
"Hello." Jenna nodded and looked at Liya from the corner of her eyes. She looked tired. It seemed that she had been working the whole morning.
Jenna thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to rest at noon?"
