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.

York chuckled. “Yeah, help yourself.”

towards her had softened subconsciously.

Kristin sparkled her eyes at the neatly sliced fruit arranged in the chilled display with a smile spreading across her face. Recently, her spirits had lifted significantly. though she hardly noticed. “These fruits must cost a fortune.”

She took a modest portion, muttering to herself in a hushed tone.

Her plate was nearly toppling over when a pair of hands reached from behind to steady it.

Kristin turned to see who had helped her and gasped, “Mr. FitzGerald…”

“Mr. FitzGerald, the doctor advised you to fast at lunch,” York interjected, puzzled as to why Rhett had come down.

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

tomorrow.

“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.
