“Are you serious?” Stanley whispered.
Jeffrey walked into the next booth, his tone icy. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
“Alright, I’m on it,” Stanley said, a slow grin spreading across his face. Nothing made him happier than stirring up trouble for lan. ‘You’re done for now, lan,‘ Stanley thought coldly.
Meanwhile, lan felt a sudden chill run down his neck. Rubbing the back of his head, he kept talking to Rebecca. “Are you job hunting right now?”
Rebecca looked surprised. “How did you know?”
lan didn’t try to hide it. “Jessica told me.”
‘Of course,‘ Rebecca thought. ‘If it isn’t a secret only between me and Jessica, it’s bound to reach lan sooner or later.‘
“A friend of mine is hiring at the moment. Want me to put in a word? It’s a newly listed company, but it’s stable,” lan offered. He’d heard from Jessica that Jeffrey had been blocking Rebecca’s job search.
Rebecca shook her head. “Thanks, but I’d rather look on my own.”
“It’s a real opportunity, Rebecca,” lan insisted. “No special treatment–just a fair interview. You’ll have to earn the position yourself.”
“It’s not that I’m being polite,” Rebecca said bluntly.
lan frowned, “Then what is it?”
“Jeffrey’s made it very clear to everyone in the industry,” Rebecca explained, her mood dripping. “If I join your friend’s company, I’ll only be putting them in danger.”
“I’m not afraid of him,” lan said firmly. “Come work at my company–I’ll protect you. Whatever tricks Jeffrey tries, I’ll
handle it.”
Rebecca refused. She knew exactly how Jeffrey operated. If he targeted lan, the best–case scenario would be lan’s company going under; worst case, he’d be buried in debt. Sending Jessica overseas had been Jeffrey’s warning–Rebecca didn’t want another friend hurt because of her.
“I’ve got this,” Rebecca said softly. “Really, don’t worry about me.”
Seeing the resolve in her eyes, lan knew she’d made up her mind. He decided to drop it and figure out another way to help
her later.
then, the door swung open. Staff streamed in, carrying roses, candles, and soft string lights. In under a minute, the room had been
