With others present, Lynn casually said to Summer for the sake of his face, "Let's eat together."
"Alright." After she said that, Lynn's expression changed slightly. She continued, "But I can't today. I want to eat with my colleagues. Let's eat another day."
Lynn didn't like Summer, so he didn't want to eat with her.
Hearing her refusal, he looked relaxed and much kinder. "Alright, you can go now."
At this time, Vicky suddenly turned her head and smiled at Lynn, "Dad, try this. I think their dishes taste good today."
Lynn smiled and said, "You eat it yourself. You've lost weight recently." It was harmonious.
Vicky smiled contemptuously at Summer as if she was saying, "You are so poor. Your parents don't love you."
It had to be admitted that Vicky had stabbed Summer's weak spots.
She thought that she had already had a stony heart after being used and abandoned by the Jarretts again and again. It was still painful to see the harmonious and warm scene between Lynn and Vicky.
Summer was still in a bad mood after she found a table with her colleague.
The matter between her and Vicky had become a hot topic on the Internet. These colleagues were all young girls, so they must have known that through the Internet.
They could tell that Lynn didn't like Summer.
One of them pushed the menu to Summer and said, "Take a look and order what you want to eat."
Summer smiled and pushed the menu back. "I'm not particular about food. It's up to you. Besides, I've never been here before. I don't know what's delicious."
Hearing this, the other colleagues began to order.
They thought Summer was quite easy to get along with, so one of them asked her, "Do you know why Stone asked for leave today? What happened in the president's office earlier?"
"I don't know. Did he do many bad things before? Maybe he was punished by God," said Summer seriously.
The others didn't mind and laughed as well. Then, they began to expose Stone's secrets.
Summer joined from time to time, and it was harmonious. But one sentence broke the harmony.
"Summer, since you are already an Emerson, why are you still working for the Jarrett Group?"
The person who asked that did not have any evil intentions, but this question was not easy to answer.
Summer paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "This..."
Someone took the initiative to help Summer out of the trouble. "Oh, hurry up and eat. There's not much time left. After eating, we need to rest for a while."
The questioner did not continue.
Everyone in the company felt Summer was unwelcome at the Emersons.
Although Leonardo, whose face and sexuality were both harmed, was the first successor of the Emerson Group, he was not suitable to take it over due to his poor physical condition. There were many speculations that the successor might be replaced, but there was no exact news.
Without the title of the Emerson Group's successor, Leonardo was just a cripple. Summer had to come out to work apart from being unwelcome at the Emersons.
She even had to work as a market researcher, which was a tiring job. She looked pitiful.
Summer looked blankly at her colleagues who kept helping her with the dishes. They seemed to look at her with sympathy.
After thinking for a moment, she understood the reason.
From a bystander's point of view, she indeed seemed to be quite pitiful...
Leonardo stayed in the company for a day.
