Chapter 1312: Gossiping About the CEO Means No Way Out
"Didn’t I already set the phone to silent? I didn’t see it." Jocelyn casually made an excuse and then said to her, "Congratulations, you passed the interview.""Jocelyn, let me tell you! Today’s experience was so bizarre! If you write it into a novel, you could easily stretch it to a hundred thousand words!"
"I actually got into The Dalton Group’s CEO office! And do you know who the CEO is? His name is Trevor, he’s your frie..."
"I know." Jocelyn interrupted her enthusiastic chatter, having seen the message she had sent, and instinctively looked towards the wooden cabin door.
She knew Ian Shelby was sensitive about Trevor and didn’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
But Cecilia Dunn didn’t know about their relationship.
"Jocelyn, what’s wrong? You seem to not want to mention Mr. Trevino?"
"No, it’s not that."
"Then let’s meet at our usual spot tonight?" Cecilia suddenly cheered up, "Let’s have a drink to celebrate."
"Sure." Jocelyn didn’t refuse; she was naturally happy for her friend who had moved on from a heartbreak and was starting a new Chapter in her life by going to work.
"Jocelyn, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"Does Mr. Trevino like you? Otherwise, why would he care about you so much?" Cecilia gossiped, "Jocelyn, come on, tell me, what’s going on between you two..."
Before Cecilia could finish, someone from behind took her phone, leaving her holding air.
"Give me back my phone!" She instinctively turned her head and met the deep, dark eyes of the man in front of her, "Mr. Trevino?" She stammered in shock.
Meanwhile, at the mountain top, Jocelyn also heard her voice, and her chest tightened slightly, realizing what was happening. Jocelyn quickly hung up the phone.
She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, her mood a bit complicated.
Just then, Ian Shelby’s voice came from the little wooden cabin, "Jocelyn, dinner’s ready! I’ve made your favorite cauliflower! It’s really good."
"Coming!" She smiled and walked towards him, turning her phone to silent. This Cecilia, she really doesn’t know when to rein in her curiosity!
The Dalton Group.
On a certain terrace outside the CEO’s office, a place where almost no one usually visits.
Cecilia looked awkwardly at the CEO. She didn’t know when he had arrived, but it felt like he’d been there for a while...
Her hand, still reaching for the phone, was caught in an awkward position, hovering in the air as though she’d turned to stone.
Trevor’s expression was slightly cool, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, glaring coldly at her.
He wasn’t exactly angry, but he definitely wasn’t happy.
Cecilia felt like she was being pricked by needles all over under his gaze, extremely uncomfortable.
Every second felt as long as a century.
She was on edge, her eyes gradually betraying her embarrassment.
"I’m sorry... Mr. Trevino." She bowed to him at a 90-degree angle, not even sure what she had done wrong, just instinctively apologizing!
If she didn’t apologize, it seemed fine, but when she did, Trevor felt a bit off.
His thick, strong eyebrows knitted slightly, as he placed the phone back in her palm. Cecilia still didn’t dare to move, looking at him as if petrified, but inwardly she was secretly delighted!
The next second, he turned away silently, his strides long and powerful, his long legs impressive! More attractive than male leads from TV dramas.
Cecilia stared at his tall, slender back, as if his cold aura still enveloped her, making her dare not relax for a long time.
Turns out not only is the CEO’s office unsafe, but even the floor it’s on isn’t safe.
Oh my! Could he turn around and fire her on a whim?
Just then, footsteps approached from the side, she quickly turned, and saw Simon standing beside her.
"Are you ghosts?" Cecilia couldn’t help but whisper.
Simon stood with his hands behind his back, watching the CEO’s receding figure, and reminded her, "Gossiping about the CEO is a dead-end."
