Chapter 989: Chapter 988: The Boat of Friendship Capsizes Easily
After hanging up the phone, Nia Mitchell stood up and tidied up her belongings.
Then she stood up and looked at the large group of people waiting.
There weren’t many people in the Secretary Department, probably only about twelve, thirteen, or fourteen, so a slightly larger private room would suffice.
Earlier, while on her way to the restroom, Nia had already called the Royal Dynasty to book a private room and told the manager to pretend not to know her.
"Let’s go, everyone."
There wasn’t the slightest smile on Nia Mitchell’s face, because this meal wasn’t one she wanted to host, so how could she possibly have a good expression?
But those people didn’t care about that, with bright smiles they packed up their things and grouped in twos and threes to head out.
No one said a word to Nia Mitchell, as if she was an unnecessary addition to this group.
Clearly, at this moment, everyone forgot that Nia Mitchell was the one footing the bill.
Just as they stepped out of the Secretary Office, they saw Edbert Mitchell coming out of the CEO Office.
"Off work?"
Edbert Mitchell looked at Nia Mitchell.
"Mr. Mitchell."
Everyone greeted Edbert Mitchell.
"Hmm."
Edbert Mitchell responded indifferently, still focusing his gaze on Nia Mitchell.
"I’m treating tonight, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?"
Edbert Mitchell openly invited Nia Mitchell in front of everyone.
Nia Mitchell was taken aback, not expecting him to be so blatant.
"Tonight won’t be possible."
Nia Mitchell smiled apologetically.
"Yes, Mr. Mitchell, Nia is hosting tonight."
A young secretary immediately spoke up, trying hard to make her presence known.
Edbert Mitchell was surprised, not expecting that Nia Mitchell chose to host tonight?
This couldn’t be right.
Everyone knew that Nia Mitchell wasn’t the type to host.
"Mr. Mitchell, would you like to join us too?"
Hazel Quartz immediately spoke up.
If Edbert Mitchell joined them tonight, even though everyone would be more restrained, the dishes Edbert Mitchell ordered would definitely not be cheap.
Since Nia Mitchell was hosting, it naturally wouldn’t be the boss’s money being spent.
So obviously, Nia Mitchell would end up spending more.
Thinking of this, Hazel Quartz was full of excitement.
"No need, you all enjoy your meal."
Edbert Mitchell thought for a moment and directly declined.
Being the boss, if he attended, everyone would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, this was a gathering for the Secretary Department, so it wasn’t fitting for him to appear.
"Alright then."
Hazel Quartz’s voice was actually very pleasant, and her speech was gentle, making it hard for people to accept her personality.
This afternoon, she had lost face, so now she had to brush up her favorability in front of Mr. Mitchell.
Without saying much more, Edbert Mitchell reminded them to be safe and then left.
"Okay, everyone get ready to head to the Royal Dynasty. Those without cars should ride with those who have."
Hazel Quartz was very organized and immediately gave directions.
In the office, everyone had their own close friends, so they all paired up for rides, leaving only Nia Mitchell by herself.
"Nia, you don’t have a car?"
Hazel Quartz acted surprised, as if she had just remembered, and raised her voice significantly.
"Oh? But what to do, my car is already full."
"Mine is too."
"Same here, what should we do about it?"
...
All at once, everyone with a car started talking, leaving Nia Mitchell standing there awkwardly.
