Cally sighed. "Although this matter has now come to an end, Elena will surely hate our guts. Who knows how she’s going to make things difficult for us in the future?”
Jordan was right. Although I did not like Elena, there was nothing to pick on in terms of her ability. Otherwise, Theo would not have personally invited her to work in Grant Corporation.
If she did not have a crush on Theo, there were actually many times when her ability and work ethic amazed me.
If things went south and Elena quit in a fit o f pique, then Grant Corporation would definitely suffer a loss.
"Do you still have work to do later?"
Shannon chuckled mischievously. "If you don’t, then we can go over to my grandpa’s right now to have a meal together. There are a lot of fruits in his yard. We can have a s much of them as we want."
Lally derided her jocularly. "You foodie."
She continued after a pause, "But we still have a meeting later. We need to come up with a solution after something like that has happened in the institute."
I said, "There's an orchard not far from here with various kinds of fruits. You can go over and tour around. We’ll give you a call after our meeting."
Shannon had no choice but to agree. "Life's tough. I came all the way here to hang out with you guys but you’re leaving me here all alone."
Cally and I smiled but said no more.
On the way to the conference room, we bumped into Krayden, who smiled a little awkwardly and rushed off after greeting us.
Cally and I were a little confused. What was wrong with him?
