Chapter 613: Seeking A Moment Of Ease


    Jane’s POV:


    After George exited the meeting room, Boswell and I also stepped out and walked alongside him.


    Both Boswell and I were a little confused. It was just a trivial matter. Even if the document was lost, it had


    nothing to do with Zhester Technology. At most, it amounted to a dereliction of duty of thew firm. I


    couldn’t understand why George had blown the whole matter out of proportion. This was not George’s


    style of handling matters. I didn’t realize it until I saw Lucy walking past us and towards Helen in the


    meeting room.


    It appeared to me that George had created a fuss to help Lucy’s best friend, Helen, to get justice. It was


    about Lucy, not Helen. George was using public office for private gain. He was pampering Lucy too


    much. Boswell whispered in my ear, “Is he really serious this time?”


    “How would I know?” I looked at the tall, stone figure walking in front of me and felt a little confused. I


    had known


    George for so many years, but I had never seen him behaving so irrationally. He had always been


    particr about separating public matters from private interests, and he never brought his personal


    emotions to work. But ever since my return, 1 had noticed George breaching his own principles for Lucy


    several times. Was he so in love with Lucy? Helen and Lucy walked out of the meeting room arm in arm.


    I could vaguely hear them whispering about what had transpired in the meeting room.


    “I told you a long time ago that you should not befriend someone like Mattie. She is a back stabber. You


    should have taken revenge on her when you came back from Phillyst time. Do you know why she


    always sets you up? It is because you are an easy target!”


    “Oh! I see.”


    “If George hadn’t bailed you out this time, you would have taken the me again.”


    At that moment I was positive that George had supported Helen for Lucy’s sake. The two of them walked


    past us, talking. Lucy greeted us with a smile and then walked off with Helen.


    They were still walking arm in arm like inseparable friends.


    “Don’t the two of you have work to do?” I asked in an icy tone. Lucy and Helen stopped abruptly and


    turned to look at me. Lucy pointed at herself and asked as if uncertain, “Are you asking us?”


    Helen even replied rudely. “I’m sorry. We’re not employees of Zhester Technology.”


    The implication was that they were free to do as they pleased and I had no right to interfere. I had never


    been insulted like this in the workce before. I always had the floor.


    I was always in charge I didn’t expect Lucy and Helen to embarrass me in public. Boswell, who was


    standing next to me, seemed more offended than I was. He said in a soft voice, “Lucy! Helen! Since you


    both work in Zhester Technology’s office building, you need to abide by the rules and regtions of


    Zhester Technology. As business partners of Zhester Technology, if you can’t even abide by the most


    basic rules and regtions of ourpany, it forces me to question your work ethic.”


    “Forget it. Let’s go.” I snubbed their arrogant behavior. Boswell continued to walk alongside me.


    “Sometimes, you are too damn tolerant. No one in Zhester Technology canpare with you. Not even


    George’s girlfriend.” Boswell was angry and reprimanded them on my behalf. Then he consoled me.


    “Jane, don’t take it to heart. George is under tremendous pressure to expand the domestic market. You


    see, Lucy then came into the picture and she is lively and open minded. I’m sure it’s just a fling. George


    isn’t really serious with her. At the end of the day, he knows clearly which is more important.” I shook my


    head with a smile.

    “George has changed a lot recently. It seems like his whole world revolves around Lucy.” At first, I also


    thought that George was just passing time with Lucy and that he was not serious about her. But today, I


    finally realized that George cared very much about Lucy.


    His feelings for Lucy might run deeper than I envisaged. In addition, George had been intentionally


    avoiding me recently. We only talked about business rted matters, nothing personal. I got the strange


    feeling that he was trying to keep distance with me. Lucy’s POV: Around lunch time, George suddenly


    sent me a message, “Let’s have lunch together.”


    This man was so funny. He didn’t dare to invite Helen directly, so he used me as an excuse. I took a look


    at Helen and felt a little awkward. Helen was angry with George because of Jane, and she wanted to


    make a clean break with him. But since he had helped Helen clear her name today, I decided I owed him


    one.


    After all, I knew that Helen was more than infatuated with George. Holding Helen’s arm, I silently slipped


    my phone away and suggested, “I’m so hungry. Let’s go and grab a bite at Zhester Technology’s


    canteen.”


    I dragged her to the staff canteen of Zhester Technology. When we arrived, George was already sitting in


    his exclusive seat and had already ordered for us.


    When Helen saw George, she stopped and pulled back, but then she finally followed me. I was the one


    to ease the tense atmosphere during our lunch break.


    George had his eyes constantly fixed on Helen She responded by lowering her head and didn’t look at


    George. In fact, she didn’t say a word while we were waiting to be served. Then at longst she uttered,


    “Thank you.”


    It sounded reluctant


    “You don’t sound sincere,” George replied, but his expression was always calm. Her indifference didn’t


    bother him. When all the dishes were served, Helen picked up her fork and began to eat with half interest


    George looked at her resignedly.


    “I bought you breakfast this morning, but you chose not to eat it. You deserve to be hungry now” Helen


    ignored his quip and continued to eat silently. I started eating too. In the eyes of the employees of


    Zhester Technology. George was enjoying lunch with me, his girlfriend.


    But in fact, I was the real third wheel at this table. I sighed in my heart that I had sacrificed too much for


    my best friend. I wished for nothing but her happiness after all. Just then, Jane and Boswell also came to


    the staff canteen for lunch. When they saw George. they were drawn to him like bees to honey.


    But I felt really unhappy. Why did they have toe and join us at our table? They were so annoying.


    Pests! The moment Helen saw Jane, she put down her fork, and she stopped eating. This woman clearly


    made my friend lose her appetite. Helen’s face became ashen. Well, it wasn’t surprising that she would


    be upset when she saw someone she didn’t like.


    However, it seemed that Boswell and Jane didn’t care about our presence at all. They sat next to


    George, ignoring us. Jane ate elegantly and calmly. She was wearing a French style shirt, revealing her


    beautiful corbone. Even the outline of her shoulders and neck was gorgeous. She was one ssy


    woman


    I couldn’t help sighing. She was absolutely stunning. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very


    fierce and intelligent. She talked to George as if we did not exist. Although their conversation seemed


    casual, there was no denying that there was a special rtionship between them. It almost felt like she


    was rubbing it in our face that she and George went way back


    What an awesome woman! If she was not Helen’s sworn enemy, I would have made friends with her.


    After all, I always liked to have friends who had beauty and brains.
