Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 17

The sudden ringing took Tiffany aback. Ivy and Kelly were startled from the outside as well. The two had come to the bathroom to avoid everyone and talk about this private matter. They hadn't expected anyone else to be in there. Ivy had always been hot-tempered. She pounded on the door. "Who's in there?"

The next moment, the door to the stall was opened. Tiffany walked out.

"You?" When Ivy saw her, she was furious. "Why did you hide in the bathroom and eavesdrop on us?"

"You've misunderstood. I happened to be using the bathroom just now." As Tiffany spoke, she walked to the sink.

Ivy grabbed her arm. "Tiffany, I don't care what's going on between you and Mr. Lewis. You better behave. If not, I have tons of ways to get you kicked out of Lewis Group!"

"Ivy." Kelly pulled Ivy back. "Forget it. I believe that Tiffany didn't do this on purpose."

With Kelly's help, Tiffany got the chance to escape.

Watching her leave, Ivy stomped her foot in fury. "Kelly, why do you always side with Tiffany?"

"I don't. I just don't want you to offend someone you can't." Smiling, Kelly glanced at Tiffany's direction. She thought to herself, "Tiffany had done her a huge favor after all. Should I be helping you now?"

...

After work, Tiffany wanted to head home. But just after she reached Lewis Tower's entrance, Vincent's car pulled up.

The car window was rolled down, revealing Vincent and Kelly inside the car. "Tiffany, get in. We should go together." Kelly invited her.

Tiffany shook her head. "No, thank you."

"Oh, are you planning to take a cab there?" Kelly asked. "It's quite a distance. It would cost you dozens of dollars to call a cab."

Tiffany was usually thrifty. She would not even spend dozens just on a meal, let alone calling a cab.

The truth was that she hadn't planned on attending the farewell dinner. After all, she had zero presence in the company. Nobody would notice it, even if she did not go. Because of that, she had deliberately waited for everyone to leave before taking her time to head downstairs. She hadn't expected to run into Vincent and Kelly.

She waved her phone. "I've already called a cab. You guys go ahead."

"I see." Kelly nodded. "We'll head over first, then. See you later."

"Yeah."
