Hailey had just arrived in Achusville, and since she wasn’t familiar with the area, the location for the dinner gathering was chosen by the group. They ultimately settled on a barbecue restaurant–lively and perfect for a group meal.

As soon as work ended, six or seven people left the office, heading straight for the barbecue place.

Of the men in the Translation Department, only two had cars, excluding their boss. The women were hesitant to ride with their boss, so they split into two cars with the two gentlemen.

“What’s this? Are you all afraid I’ll eat you?” Victor raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing.

“Of course not! We’re just worried you’ll quiz us on work,” one of the women responded, laughing. “Besides, with Miss Dalton here, how could we dare get into your car?”

“Well, well, well, when have I ever refused to give you all a ride?” Victor chuckled, playfully scolding them.

Laughter filled the air. After a few jokes, Hailey and one of the male colleagues climbed into Victor’s car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

It was buzzing with activity, full of chatter and laughter.

Victor reserved a private room, and the group ordered a large platter of barbecue along with various side dishes. As the food was still being prepared, they casually began chatting.

Naturally, the topic turned to Hailey, who had just joined the company.

“Miss Dalton, did you study abroad? How did you end up in Wothaland?” one male colleague, Kaiden Tucker, asked. He was tall, handsome, and radiated a sunny charm, earning him the nickname ‘department heartthrob.

“Whoa, when did Kaiden become so interested in Miss Dalton?” a female colleague teased, her tone dripping with envy.

Mia Cain, a striking woman around twenty–five, chimed in.

Kaiden chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head, while the others erupted in mock disapproval.

Hailey smiled gently and responded, “The head office sent me here, but I do plan to return to Wothaland. After all, that’s where I’m from; it’s my roots.”

Victor raised his glass with a smile. “Well said, Miss Dalton. No matter where we go, we must remember where we came from. This toast is for you.”
