Jack glanced at Austin and continued to twirl with the pen in between his fingertips. "What's up?"
From the look on Austin's face, what he was about to say had nothing to do with business. Every time he showed even a flicker of emotion, it meant that what he was going to say was meant for private ears.
Now, it had something to do with Jack.
"Miss Duan is in the lobby, and everyone says that you quarreled with her. She looks devastated."
If Austin hadn't gone to the executive department, he wouldn't have heard about it.
The executive department held the largest number of female employees in the company. It was also the place where gossip was known to circulate.
When Austin came over to get some office supplies, he was surprised to see several employees crowding in one spot and talking about a certain someone.
Since he wasn't busy today, he stood aside and listened to what they were talking about. The man stiffened when he heard Celine's name.
"Wait, what's wrong with Celine? What did you say?" Austin took a step forward.
"Austin..."
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed. As if nothing had happened, they all went back to their seats and pretended to look at case files.
Austin decided to ask one of them, "What were you talking about?"
"Not
ng.
The more Celine thought about it, the more furious she became. With resentment blooming in her gaze, she threw the necklace onto the pavement.
"Are you off duty now?"
As soon as Eric turned off the computer, he heard Zoe's voice from behind him. He quickly tidied the things on his table. "It's done. Let's go."
However, just as they were about to leave, he received a call from Jack. "Come to my office."
"I'm already off duty. How about tomorrow?" Eric gazed at Zoe awkwardly. They were planning to see a movie together.
"No. Come here."
Glancing at his phone, the man curled his lips. "Zoe, do you mind waiting for a while. I have to see Mr. Fu."
Zoe's eyes quickly flashed as she broke out into a cold sweat. "Sure. I'll wait for you in the office, okay? But we need to go to the cinema soon."
He hurried to the office. "What's the matter?"
"Did you meet Celine when you went to buy the necklace for Rachel?" Jack asked the moment Eric had opened his office door.
"Yes, I did." He recalled what had happened that day before shaking her head. "It was a coincidence."
"When did you take this photo then?" Jack showed the photo that Eric had sent him.
"That one?"
Eric frowned. "It was probably taken when I went home. I don't remember."
