"That won''t be necessary. The two of us will do it."
Anya''s response surprised Zachary somewhat. She was worried that he would misunderstand her meaning. So, she exined, "My friend doesn''t love to talk about love outside working hours. She won''t be happy to see Molly there."
"Well, then. Why are we going at all?" Zachary was even more confused now.
Anya brushed a strand of hair from her temple and giggled gently. "Why, we''re going to have dinner with her and catch up on old times, of course. I will also bring up Molly during the meal. Do you think she can reject me if I''m the one who took the initiative to talk about it?"
"Alright. Thanks for your help." Zachary heard what she said and didn''t make furtherments.
Afternoon came, and he gathered a couple of marketing staff. He wanted them to go to the Economic Development Zone with him. However, all of them said they had work to finish. So, they collectively asked him to find someone else.
At that moment, one of the marketing staff who sat by the window rose to his feet and said with a smile, "All of us are quite busy with work. Mr. Lloyd. You''re wee to go there by yourself if you can''t wait for us."
Zachary didn''t know who this marketing staff was, but he did remember him. After all, thetter was the one who gave Shawn ideas on the first floor.
Zachary frowned slightly, but he didn''t get angry. Once he saw that not a single one of them was willing to follow him, he realized that they were maliciously pinpointing them.
Although Zachary could''ve thrown his weight around and made them follow him by force, he didn''t do anything of the sort. If these fellows were waiting to make fun of him, then he would just have to prove them wrong with results.
Just as well, too. He could establish his intimidating authority and let them see what he was made of through this project.
At the thought of it, Zachary didn''t waste any time with them anymore. Instead, he turned around and got ready to leave.
At that moment, a young intern suddenly raised his hand and asked, "D-Do you mind if I follow you, Mr. Lloyd?"
Zachary heard the voice and looked over. Then, he saw a young man wearing a ck suit and a tie staring at him with reddened cheeks.
"Sure thing. Let''s hit the road." Zachary nodded with a smile.
The intern''s eyes sparkled when he heard it. He was about to rise to his feet and leave with Zachary.
That was when Shawn''s expression turned grim. He said in a cold voice all of a sudden, "Have you finished the tasks I appointed to you, y?"
At the next moment, a lot of people stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze to y Castro, the intern. Some of them were also stealing nces at Zachary''s expression.
y responded, while his face was still reddened, "I''ve just finished every task you''ve given me, Mr. Zimmer."
"Great. I need topile some
documents. Please work on that if you''ve got this much free time. I want thempiled and printed before you get off work today. Then, you''re going to put them on my desk."

Shawn rose to his feet with a cold expression and mmed the thick pile of documents on y''s work desk. Thetter''s face turned pale in a matter of a second. There were so many documents that it was simply impossible topile them in an afternoon.
Anyone could see that Shawn was maliciously picking on the intern. However, he
was the team leader. So, no one was willing to speak up for y.
"This is a lot of documents, Mr. Zimmer. Can I get it done before I go off work tomorrow?"
y felt deeply troubled. He had to read the documents before he couldpile them. Although he had a lot of documents, he could only work through them little by little.
The truth was he might not even be able to finish them by the day after tomorrow,
let alone tomorrow before he went off work.
"If you ask me, you''re an efficient staff. So, I have faith in you, bud. Go and make me proud!" Shawn sneered and turned around to return to his work desk. His lips curled into a disdainful grin when he brushed past Zachary''s shoulder.
