Chapter 1632 Are You Skipping Work?
It was a large vacation resort, so it was impossible that there was not a single attendant around.
Yvette shrugged. “My colleague said that she would call someone for me, but no one came. M y phone broke and I just finished showering, so I couldn’t let others come either. That’s why.”
Nicole frowned and pondered as she watched Yvette go inside while holding the clothes.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
“Luca?”
Nicole asked
Luca said, “Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Sheldon wants to see Ms. Quimbey.”
Nicole rolled her eyes. Even without thinking, she knew that this matter today had something to do with Lance.
Yvette suffered injustice but did not notice it herself.
However, as a bystander, Nicole knew very well.
Yvette was set up by someone.
“No. Tell him to get lost.”
Nicole spoke unceremoniously.
The two people outside were stunned.
Luca calmly relayed Nicole’s words to Lance.
“No. Get lost.”
Luca did not bother to reword it to make it sound more euphemistic and tactful.
Lance was stunned for a moment before walking up and knocking on the door to speak personally
“Ms. Stanton, I’m Lance. I only want to see how Yvette is doing. If it’s inconvenient, please just tell her that I’ll wait for her downstairs.”
Although Yvette had a temper, she never held a grudge overnight. She would forget about it i n the blink of an eye.
Lance knew that very well, so he was sure that refusing to see him was Nicole’s decision alone, not Yvette’s.
Nicole laughed softly and ignored him. She sat there and waited for Yvette to come out?
Fortunately, the people outside were tactful enough not to continue knocking on the door.
Yvette changed her clothes and even blow-dried her hair. She walked out looking fresh and sharp.
She twirled around with a smile. “You haven’t worn these clothes even once before, right? The price tag is still attached! You’re slimmer, so it’s a little tight on me, but it’s still decent!”
There was no hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Nicole laughed. “As long as you’re satisfied, Ms. Quimbey.”
It was a black and white dress and looked cool and domineering. It was very suitable for Nicole’s style.
Yvette was more voluptuous, so she looked sexier when she wore it.
Nicole paused and lifted her chin. “Mr. Sheldon is waiting for you at the door.”
She was not the type to instigate things.
However, Yvette refused to say how she got her clothes dirty. There was definitely something going on.
Yvette froze and hurriedly ran to open the door. “Lance, I didn’t hear you earlier. What are you doing here? Is the reception over?”
Lance stood in the doorway and was slightly stunned when he saw her suddenly running out.
He looked at Yvette’s clothes that were not her style and had a strange feeling in his heart. However, Yvette did not look abnormal or angry at all. She seemed no different from usual.
His face was calm as he nodded. “It hasn’t ended yet, but we can leave now. I’ll wait for you downstairs?”
Yvette called out to him and paused.
“Nicole is here, and we’re going to a dinner party in the evening, so I won’t go back to the office with you.”
Lance was silent for a few seconds. A strange emotion surged in the bottom of his eyes as he tried to catch something off from her expression, but he could not find anything.
“Ms. Quimbey, there’s still four hours before the end of the workday. Are you trying to tell your boss that you’re skipping work?”
His voice was steady with a hint of authority and coaxing.
“I’ll send you to the party in the evening, so come back to the office with me for now.” Lance felt like he could not let Yvette go until things were clear.
Once she left, it would be even harder to explain.
Yvette stood there awkwardly. If she was still as nonchalant as before, she would not care what kind of crap Lance spewed.
However, Lance taught her earnestly these days. If she left like that, it would make her seem too heartless.
