Chapter 59: Group Blind Date
Chapter 59: Group Blind Date
"What eligible bachelor?" Jennifer faintly realized that something was wrong and looked at Rose who
was shorter than her.
Rose felt a little guilty by the way Jennifer looked at her. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Well, it's
nice to get a free meal. I am single, and you... are also single..."
"Who do you think I am?" Jennifer suddenly realized that this was not a department dinner at all, and
her facial expression changed. "I'm not going..."
"Don't..." Rose grabbed Jennifer's wrist and stopped her from leaving.
Just then a black BMW pulled out of the company garage. Through the window, they saw John from
the Planning Department smiling politely. The car slowly stopped in front of them.
Jennifer didn't want to argue with Rose in front of others, so she suddenly stopped.
The window of the black BMW slowly rolled down. John sat in the driver's seat and smiled at Jennifer.
"I hope you haven't waited for long, Secretary Jennifer, Secretary Rose..."
Jennifer was about to say that she was not going anymore when Rose spoke first.
"No, no, we haven't waited long. Let's go..." As she said this, she opened the back seat door and
stuffed Jennifer in. She also got in the car and gave Jennifer a look.
Jennifer relented, she could not embarrass Rose in front of others. She could only sit gloomily, bowed
her head down, and questioned Rose through messages.
"Tell me what kind of dinner is this?"
Rose was busy chatting with John when her phone got a notification and she met with Jennifer's fierce
gaze. She instantly understood and looked down at her phone.
"It's just an ordinary dinner. The Planning Department really did invite us to dinner. Not only you and
me but also other girls in the company. Several new interns of their department are also going..."
"All single?"
Rose pursed her lips and looked up at Jennifer, with a look that confirmed Jennifer's suspicion.
Jennifer frowned and turned her head, looking out of the window on the other side. She was too lazy to
argue with her.
Rose was too bold. If Hans knew that she didn't go to a department dinner, but to have a group blind
date that was secretly planned by this staff under his nose, she would be in big trouble.
It was too crazy.
"Secretary Jennifer, are you not feeling well today? You look a little sick." John, who was driving, asked
carefully. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennifer was absent-minded. When she suddenly heard her name, she froze for a moment, glanced at
Rose who was sitting quietly at the side, and said softly, "Nothing, it's just that I haven't been to
department gatherings in a long time. I heard that there are also interns there. They might not feel
comfortable enough to enjoy themselves if they see me there."
After all, she was close with Hans. Everyone was afraid that she would report back to Hans when
something happened. Although she didn't do that, everyone in the company treated her as Hans's spy.
John smiled at her remark.
"Do you not want to have dinner with those young interns? If you don't want to, how about this, I'll make
a call and reserve another room. There will be fewer people, just a few of us..."
Hearing this, Jennifer's face grew even gloomier.
She didn't know whether John really misunderstood what she meant, but his words made her feel a
little uncomfortable.
Rose knew Jennifer's temper best. Jennifer didn't like this kind of gathering anyway, She would avoid it
even more now that they tell her there would be even fewer people. It would be quite an embarrassing
situation if she just left.
"There's no need. She was just joking. We haven't met the new interns yet so now is a good
opportunity. We are going to work together in the future, it's better this way."
"That's true..." John pushed the glasses on his nose.
There was very little private communication between Jennifer and other people in the company. She
was too strict and cautious at work. It was common knowledge that most of the staff were afraid of her.
Rose had always been active. She was familiar with all the departments, be it manager or salesman.
There were a lot of people who asked her for favours. As long as it was not too overboard and did not
harm the company's interests, she would help as much as she could or she would get Jennifer to help.
John had been trying to get on her good side for a while now. He was the deputy manager in the
Planning Department and he was relatively new in the company. He was headhunted from another
media company. He was quite capable and became the deputy manager at such a young age. The
recent excellent proposals from their department were mostly his ideas.
Rose was quite impressed by him.
Jennifer originally decided to leave early after arriving at the restaurant, but she was worried when she
saw Rose chatting happily with John.
Rose was very inexperienced when it came to relationships. Jennifer was afraid that she would be
deceived easily. John looked honest, but he always gave Jennifer a player vibe. She was not sure if her
intuition was wrong, but she did not feel like John really liked Rose all that much.
Joy Group.
Staff was leaving work in droves. James handed in his last assignment, took a look at the time, and
knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Mr. Hans, do you need to order dinner in or do you have other arrangements?"
Hans did not have any plans tonight. He should have gotten off work earlier, but James did not know
what Hans was thinking. It was his duty to remind him to eat when it's time.
Hans looked at the time. It was 19:30.
"There's no need, it's getting late. You can get off work first."
James nodded and turned to go out.
"The planning department is having a gathering tonight?"
Suddenly, Hans asked casually from behind. However, the timing made the question sound a little
abrupt even if the tone was casual.
James rolled his eyes, but he didn't remark on it.
"Yes, the few deputy managers planned to have a dinner together. They also want to welcome their
new interns."
They invited him too, but he always finished work at a weird time. As long as Hans needed him, he had
to work, so he did not go to the dinner.
"Deputy managers? The planning department takes these interns very seriously then..." Hans's tone
was calm.
James chuckled and said knowingly,
"They say it's a welcome dinner, but it was just the bunch of bachelors from the Planning Department
saw that there are many female interns this year, and some were quite beautiful. They want to take
advantage of it before the interns quit due to the workload. I heard that they also invited some female
employees from other departments."
