Chapter 133 - 133: Old ssmate
Keira had been dealing with some documents in the office, and by the time she finished, it was already eleven o''clock. Samuel had an engagement at the Emperor Pce Hotel, so the two went together.
Underground parking garage.
Samuel grabbed the driver''s side door, looking unsurely at Keira. "Boss, are you sure you''re driving?"
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Got a problem?"
Of course, Samuel wouldn''t say anything.
He walked to the passenger seat with great inner conflict, then buckled up his seatbelt with a look of despair.
Keira sat excitedly in the driver''s seat, starting the car.
The intense roaring sound of the sports car echoed in the underground garage, making Samuel cringe and close his eyes.
Then, he felt the car shake violently for a moment before it slowly started moving.
He wished he could shrink into his seat so no one would see his face.
Embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
Who would drive a sports car at thirty miles per hour?
He quietly turned his head to look at Keira, who was driving carefully. "Boss, aren''t you in a hurry?"
"Nope."
Keira said, "The birthday banquet doesn''t start until twelve, and it''s just a five-kilometer journey from here to the Emperor Pce Hotel. An hour is more than enough."
"..."
Samuel twitched the corner of his mouth. "Boss, don''t you think... you''re driving too slowly?"
Keira looked seriously ahead. "It''s much faster than walking. I''m not on a highway, and besides, Ick iron in my system. I usually need to pay attention to safety. What if there''s a car ident?"
"..."
Samuel covered his face, feeling the other cars whizzing past, their curious nces making him want to crawl into a hole in the ground.
The dignity of his sports car had been lost all along the way!
Finally, the car arrived at the Emperor Pce Hotel parking lot, and Keira got out of the driver''s seat. "Haven''t driven for a long time. The experience was quite nice this time."
Turning her head and seeing that Samuel hadn''t gotten out of the car, she went around to the passenger side and opened the door. "Mr. Morgan, aren''t you getting out?"
Samuel twitched the corner of his mouth and then got out of the car, taking the keys Keira threw to him. "I have an appointment with a client at eleven-thirty. I''m off."
He hurried up the stairs.
Keira went to the elevator entrance and waited for the elevator.
Suddenly, someone spoke up. "Keira Olsen?"
Keira turned around in surprise, only to see a college peer, Charles Riley, standing next to her, also waiting for the elevator.
When Charles saw her turn around, a sh of shock passed through his eyes. "It really is you!"
Keira nodded, greeting him. "Hello."
Charles was a bit surprised.
Keira was truly stunning. Even in college where she was a loner and didn''t interact much, she was voted the campus belle. But she rarelymunicated with her ssmates. Even if someone greeted her, she would just nod and leave as if nothing happened.
It was as if she wouldn''t consider anyone worth her attention.
But now, she has changed a lot. There seemed to be a light in her eyes, which made Charles unable to recognize her for a moment.
However...
Charles nced a few times toward the sports car parked in the parking lot and then asked, "Haven''t you found a job yet? Graduation was almost two months ago, right?"
Keira looked at him nkly. "What?"
Charles pointed at the sports car. "I just saw you get out. Are you working as a designated driver now?"
Keira was perplexed.
Just as she was about to say something, Charles said, "I''ve just joined a really awesomepany. Do you know who the head of thatpany is?"
Keira shook her head.
Charles smiled. "It''s Dr. South! Surprised?"
Keira was indeed quite surprised. "What?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Charles pointed to the sports car. "You just took that order, right? You don''t even know what you missed. That Mr. Morgan who was just here is the person in charge of ourpany, but actually, the boss of ourpany is Dr. South!"
Charles lifted his chin, his face showing a smile and pride. "Dr. South, eh? Who in the new energy sector doesn''t know him? He''s simply awesome. In these two months at thepany, just by looking at internal documents, I''ve learned so much."
Keira nodded. "I see."
Charles looked at her again. "Keira, it''s indeed a bit tough for college graduates to find jobs. I remember you had good grades in college. Do you want me to refer you internally?"
When Keira was in college, she always kept a distance from I.
She strived to minimize her presence.
Therefore, very few of her college ssmates knew of her rtionship with I.
Besides, the worldviews of her college ssmates were pretty much set in stone, and most of them had sympathy for the underdog.
Keira felt the kindness in Charles''s offer and smiled. "Thanks, but that won''t be necessary."
Dazzled by her smile, Charles scratched his head in an honest manner. The bubbly young man didn''t think much about it. He thought she was just being shy, so he immediately said, "Ourpany is quite hard to get into, but I''ll refer you. Keira, you don''t need to be shy. It''smon for college ssmates to ask each other for referrals."
The elevator arrived, and the two entered. The elevator doors slowly closed.
Charles continued. "Back in college, I didn''t interact with you much, but we were all ssmates. We should get in touch more. Let''s exchange WhatsApp details, shall we?"
He took out his phone and opened up a QR code, "You can scan me."
"..."
Faced with such an enthusiastic ssmate, Keira hesitated for a moment but eventually scanned and added him as a friend.
Charles saw her friend request and immediately smiled. "Your avatar is the same as Dr. South''s, all yellow. It''s pretty rare to see that kind of avatar."
Keira said, "...It''s a sunflower."
"Really?" Charles opened Keira''s avatar and looked at it closely. "Haha, it really is."
Just as he was thinking this, Charles suddenly realized something, and he quickly opened up thepany''s WhatsApp group.
The group owner of the WhatsApp chat group was Dr. South.
Charles had already tried to click on the big boss''s WhatsApp countless times to study it in detail.
Even though on the first day of joining thepany, Samuel sternly instructed them not to add Dr. South on WhatsApp privately, curiosity was hard to resist.
Unfortunately, Dr. South had disabled the feature to add him through group chat, so ordinary employees in thepany could only look longingly at that avatar.
At this moment, Charles couldn''t help but look at that avatar again.
Was it a sunflower?
Because the photo was taken so close, the entire image was just a field of yellow, so he had never paid attention before.
He tapped on the avatar, wanting to erge it for a closer look.
But as soon as he clicked on it, he discovered...
Huh?!
Howe he and Dr. South were friends?!
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he saw it wrong.
But looking at it again, they definitely were friends.
Charles was stunned, and then he suddenly realized something and abruptly looked up at Keira!
