Chapter 132 - 132
Chapter 132: Chapter 132
After dealing with some documents at the company, it was already eleven o’clock, and Samuel Morgan had a social engagement at the Emperor Palace Hotel, so the two of them simply headed over together.
The underground parking garage.
Samuel Morgan clutched the door of the driver’s seat, uncertainly looking at Kiera, “Boss, are you sure you’re driving?”
Kiera raised an eyebrow, “Is there a problem?”
Samuel Morgan dared not say there was a problem.
He walked to the passenger seat, deeply conflicted, and then despondently fastened his seatbelt.
Kiera, new to the driver’s seat, started the car.
The intense buzzing sound of the sports car echoed in the underground parking lot, causing Samuel Morgan to close his eyes in despair.
Then, he felt the car shake violently for a moment before… it began to move slowly.
He wished he could shrink into his seat and hide his face from view.
How embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
Whose sports car drives only thirty miles per hour?
He silently turned his head to look at Kiera, who was concentrating on driving, “Boss, aren’t you in a hurry?”
“Not in a hurry,”
Kiera answered slowly, “The birthday party doesn’t start until twelve, and it’s only five kilometers to the Emperor Palace Hotel from here, we have plenty of time within an hour.”
“…”
Samuel Morgan tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Boss, don’t you think… you’re driving too slowly?”
Kiera seriously looked ahead, “It’s much faster than walking. I’m not on the highway, and besides, I am deficient in iron, so I should pay attention to safety. What if there’s a car accident?”
“…”
Samuel Morgan covered his face, feeling other cars zoom past, their curious glances making him wish he could dive into a hole in the ground.
There goes his sports car’s dignity, all the way down the drain!
Finally, the car arrived at the parking lot of the Emperor Palace Hotel. Kiera got out of the driver’s seat and said, “I haven’t driven in a long time, that was a nice experience.”
Turning her head and seeing Samuel Morgan hadn’t gotten out of the car, she walked around to the passenger side and opened the door, “Mr. Morgan, aren’t you getting out?”
Samuel Morgan tugged at the corner of his mouth before getting out, and immediately took the car keys Kiera tossed over, “I had a customer meeting at eleven-thirty, I’ll go ahead first.”
He rushed up the stairs.
Kiera, on the other hand, walked to the elevator and waited leisurely.
Suddenly, someone spoke up, “Kiera?”
Kiera turned around in surprise and saw an old college classmate, Charles Riley, standing beside her, also waiting for the elevator.
When Charles Riley saw her turning towards him, a flash of shock passed through his eyes, “It really is you!”
Kiera nodded in greeting, “Hello.”
Charles Riley appeared a bit surprised.
Kiera was exceptionally beautiful, even if she was reclusive and didn’t interact much with others in school, she was still considered the campus belle. But she rarely communicated with classmates and if someone greeted her, she’d just nod and walk away, as if indifferent to everyone.
It seemed as though no one could catch her eye.
But now, she had changed a lot, there was a light in her eyes that made Charles Riley not recognize her at first.
However…
Charles Riley glanced towards the sports car in the parking lot a few times, then started, “Haven’t you found a job yet? It’s almost been two months since you graduated, right?”
Kiera looked at him blankly, “Huh?”
Charles Riley pointed towards the sports car, “I just saw you coming down from it. Are you working as a private driver now?”
Keira Olsen: ?
Just as she was about to say something, Charles Riley cut in, “I’ve just joined a really awesome company, do you know who the leader of that company is?”
Keira Olsen shook her head.
He laughed, “It’s Dr. South! Surprised?”
Keira Olsen really was surprised, “What?”
Pointing to the sports car, Charles continued, “You just finished a ride, right? You have no idea what you’ve missed. That Mr. Morgan just now is the person in charge of our company, but actually, the owner of our company is Dr. South!”
Charles Riley lifted his chin, his face beaming with a smile and pride, “Dr. South, who doing new energy doesn’t know him? He’s incredibly awesome. In these two months at the company, just by looking at internal materials, I’ve learned quite a lot of knowledge.”
Keira Olsen nodded along, “Oh, oh.”
He looked at her again, “Keira Olsen, it is indeed a bit difficult for college graduates to find jobs this year. I remember you had good grades in your university courses. Do you want me to help you with a referral?”
During her university days, Keira had always kept her distance from Isla Olsen.
She tried to minimize her own presence.
Thus, very few of her university classmates knew about her relationship with Isla Olsen.
Moreover, the worldviews of university classmates were basically fixed, and most of them harbored sympathy for the underdog.
She could feel Charles’s good intentions, so she smiled and said, “Thanks, but no need.”
Her smile dazzled Charles, who scratched his head honestly. The sunny young man didn’t have so many complicated thoughts and thought she was just being shy, so he immediately said, “Our company is quite tough to get into, but I’ll give you a push. You don’t have to be shy, Keira Olsen. It’s quite common for us university friends to ask each other for referrals.”
The elevator arrived, and the two of them entered. The elevator doors slowly closed.
Charles went on, “I didn’t really interact with you much during our school days, but we’re all classmates, after all. We should keep in touch more often. Let’s add each other on WhatsApp, shall we?”
He took out his phone, opened the QR code, “You scan me.”
“…”
Facing such an enthusiastic classmate, Keira Olsen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately scanned it and added him as a contact.
When Charles saw her friend request pop up, he immediately laughed, “Your profile picture, it’s the same as Dr. South’s! Both of you have this yellow background. Such a profile picture is quite rare.”
Keira Olsen: “… It’s a sunflower.”
“Is it?” Charles opened Keira Olsen’s profile picture, took a closer look, and laughed, “Haha, it really is.”
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Charles suddenly realized something. He abruptly opened the company’s WhatsApp group.
The group owner was Dr. South.
Charles had countless times clicked on the magnate’s WhatsApp, studying it closely.
Although on the first day of his job, Samuel Morgan had emphatically advised them that nobody was allowed to add Dr. South on WhatsApp privately, curiosity got the better of him.
Unfortunately, Dr. South had disabled the feature to add contacts through group chat, causing the ordinary employees in the company to only gaze at the profile picture to quench their thirst.
At that moment, Charles couldn’t help but take another look at that profile picture.
Was it a sunflower?
Because the photo was taken so close up, the entire picture was just a block of yellow, so he really hadn’t paid attention to it before.
He subconsciously clicked on the profile picture to enlarge it for a closer look.
But just as he clicked into it, he discovered…
Huh?!
How come he was friends with Dr. South?!
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
But upon looking again, they were indeed friends.
Charles was stunned, then suddenly realized something and jerked his head up to look at Keira Olsen!
What do you think?
