Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1024

Cally smiled slightly. "You're very good at talking, Ms. Lane."

She continued after a pause, "Thanks for the compliment. I’ll be making a move first."

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left in a hurry.

She was an independent woman in the business field and a dedicated mother at home. She did a great job playing out her roles and was worthy of admiration.

I planned to pack my things and get off work. Just as I was almost done packing, a man in a black suit appeared at the door. It was none other than my superior, Jordan Fredericks.

I asked with a smile, "How can I help you, Mr. Fredericks?"

It was after working hours now, and usually, he would look for me at this hour for non-work-related things.

Sure enough, he said, "Shannon invited us for a meal. Let's go there together."

I was astounded. "She invited you?"

Jordan pursed his lips. "Os."

Shannon was truly bold to directly invite Jordan, and I was genuinely impressed.

Jordan took out the car keys from his trouser pocket and said indifferently, "Let's go."

I nodded. "Okay."

After leaving the company and getting into the car, I suddenly wondered in hindsight why Shannon would have his phone number.

I looked at Jordan and asked, "When did Shannon get your phone number?"

Jordan smiled slightly. "She asked for mine when you were exchanging numbers in the airport."

U H

What a professional.

Jordan stopped at the red light.

It was too quiet when neither of us spoke on the road, s o I took the initiative to start a conversation. "Has Ms. Lally been with you for many years?"

He looked at me sideways and said faintly, "She worked for my grandpa last time and is a really capable worker. My grandpa later sent her to work for _ n

me.

I nodded. "She's indeed pretty good at her job."

I had been familiarizing myself with work with Lally's help these days. I realized that she could take on several secretaries' work by herself. She handled everything very well no matter what it was.

Jordan smiled slightly. "Are you curious about her?"

I nodded. "Generally, bosses prefer single, young, and beautiful assistants. That’s why I'm slightly more curious about this.”

Jordan frowned slightly and said a little sarcastically," Capability is everything in the business field, not physical appearance. Do all bosses seem that dirty-minded to you?"

I quickly shook my head to deny it. "Of course not."

Jordan nodded slightly. "You probably often read a lot of pointless books. I suggest you read more useful ones."

U H

Did I just get looked down upon?

The car drove to the entrance of the clubhouse and I caught sight of Shannon standing there at a glance.

She looked extremely sexy wearing a black halter dress and with delicate makeup on. She attracted many glances from men when she stood at the entrance like that.

Jordan and I got out of the car. He tossed his car keys t o the valet.
