Chapter 121

At the Executive Dining Lounge on the second floor.

This place was reserved for the top brass of the company, boasting an ambiance that could rival any five–star hotel

Kristin felt like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland as she entered the executive dining lounge. It was a stark contrast to the bustling employee cafeteria downstairs. This was tranquility and luxury combined.

“Is all of this free?” Kristin gestured towards the fruit station and the array of dishes available.

Rhett was stern as he contemplated when to transfer York. “I’ll just have some broth.”

York nodded. “Please, have a seat. I’ll get it for you!”

Rhett took the plate from Kristin, who stood awkwardly in place for a long while, grateful that the executive dining area was empty.

Otherwise, with Rhett helping her with her plate, she’d be the talk of the company by

“How irresistible is the FitzGerald Group’s staff meal to you?” James walked in, taking hold of Kristin’s wrist with a resigned sigh.

Kristin snapped out of her daze, pulling her wrist free.
