Crossroads

Chapter 300

December 24th, Christmas Eve, sounded like a very romantic time. However, that wasn’t the case.

It happened to be a weekend, and despite the beautiful day, those who needed to work overtime still did so, exhausted to the bone. The business team had to chase after clients, bending backward to secure contracts.

At the Innovate Group headquarters, quite a few people returned to work early in the morning. The competition was so fierce that any lapse in attention could mean being replaced, so no one dared to relax even during the holidays.

“Ms. Isaac, why are you back at work today? Most employees knew Hayley. Seeing her, they greeted her immediately. Hayley was usually efficient in her work and treated her subordinates with courtesy and respect, earning their admiration.

“Ms. Isaac, aren’t you spending today with your boyfriend?” A few female colleagues entered the elevator with her. Given that it was Christmas Eve, the question came naturally.

“Men don’t find me attractive. Hayley smiled, chatting with them.

“Ms. Isaac, when you say that, we single folks feel so embarrassed. If you just gave the word, there’d be a line of guys in the company waiting for you,” one of the employees said.

As the elevator ascended. Hayley responded casually, “For now, just want to focus on my work.”

“Ms. Isaac is right. We women can be financially independent and don’t need to rely on those lousy men. Besides, some of those managers are just reaching for the moon.”

The women were flattering their boss, but Hayley was uninterested in their conversation. Suddenly, one secretarial staff exclaimed. “Ah, I just remembered, Mr. Wellington said he would be coming in today.”

At this moment, the elevator doors opened.

Two colleagues from the advertising team stepped out on the 42nd floor, leaving behind the secretarial staff and Hayley.
