When Alvina Miller returned to her seat, all of the colleagues around her looked at her with shocked expressions, as if they were thinking, "Did she lose her mind? She actually gave up on such a good learning opportunity so easily, and wasn't her goal at the office to get promoted?"
Perhaps many people would consider other people's affairs in their own interests and positions, but in reality, what you cared about was not necessarily what others cared about.
Just like Alvina Miller right now, she felt helpless and gloomy, as she really did not want to be promoted, and just wanted to be closer to her boyfriend.
Old President returned to his seat and smiled as he sized up Joseph Grant's reaction.
Joseph Grant stared at the stage expressionlessly, ignoring him.
Old President didn't say much either. He naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask Joseph Grant what kind of relationship Alvina Miller had with him, and whether or not they were engaged as the rumors said. This matter of him slapping his own face, Old President could only pretend to be confused.
The party had ended and everyone had stood up from their seats in an orderly manner. After a large group of leaders left, some of the ordinary staff began to walk towards the door.
"Alvina Miller!" Suddenly, a voice called out to her. Alvina Miller stopped in her tracks and looked at Benson, who was standing at the side and waiting for her.
"Why aren't you going out yet?" Alvina Miller asked him curiously.
Benson spread out his hands: "I was really shocked by you! Such a good opportunity, you actually said that you don't want it, you really can't guess!"
Alvina Miller knew that her actions just now were too shocking. However, she had her own thoughts and she couldn't be controlled by others.
"That's nothing to be surprised about. I just feel that my ability is still lacking. I just want to stay in the office and learn and hone myself!" Alvina Miller said casually.
"That's why I admire you!" Benson sighed.
"What do you admire about me? I am a woman, and the opportunity to be promoted is not that important to me! " Alvina Miller continued to smile faintly.
Benson nodded his head: "You are really different from other girls!"
Alvina Miller did not lose etiquette and laughed dryly: "I won't be speaking with you anymore, I have to get on the car!"
"Alright!" Benson nodded and waved to her.
Alvina Miller quickly got on the car and sat in her seat, feeling dizzy.
Tonight seemed to be exceptionally long.
It was unknown if it was because she couldn't speak with Joseph Grant, but this kind of feeling of being able to see but couldn't chat was too unbearable. She decided that if there was a chance the next time, she would rather not have it.
It was the most comfortable thing in the world for her to go home and wait for him.
Not long after Old President left, Joseph Grant decided to leave with a group of faction leaders accompanying him.
Kelly stood at the door to see them off and saw the man walk out with an ashen face with a large group of people following behind him.
When she saw the man's ice—cold handsome face, the courage she had accumulated immediately dissipated.
She didn't know if it was her misconception, but she felt that today's Mr. Vice—President was different from before. It no longer had that sort of affinity, but instead gave people a cold, indifferent feeling, like it was difficult to approach.
He walked past her with a cold aura.
The passion in Kelly's heart was instantly frozen. She looked dejectedly and sorrowfully at the man walking away, watching him stoop down to get into the car, and then the car disappeared at the main entrance.
The confession had failed. A staff member like her would never have the chance to meet this noble man alone. Kelly wanted to cry, to cry for once.
There was no other time for her to feel worse than this. In the past, she had felt that the entire world was laughing at her because she was poor and had an inferiority complex. She never thought that she would cry bitterly.
However, at this moment, the tears in her eyes suddenly dropped. She quickly turned around, ignoring the stupefied gazes of the other etiquette ladies nearby, and ran in the direction of the washroom.
Joseph Grant sat on the carriage, while his two aides sat beside him.
"Sir, do you want to give Miss Miller a call?" He also felt that Joseph Grant's mood was exceptionally bad today, as if someone had touched his most precious treasure.
"No need, I'll go find her directly!" Joseph Grant said in a low voice.
"The President's intention this time is to probe your relationship with her. He's using the Miss Miller to threaten you?" Lieutenant Hilton was still a little worried.
