She was also surprised that Abigail suddenly trusted her soÂ
much.Â
“During this time, I couldn’t go to Evercrest because my dad wasÂ
really worried about me chasing after Reginald. But in a while,Â
I’ll come to Evercrest to hang out with you.” And then, sheÂ
emphasized, “Don’t worry, I don’t like Reginald anymore. I’mÂ
going to Evercrest to find true love!”Â
Turns out she still wants to find true love at Evercrest…Â
Actually, Adelaide wanted to warn her, Evercrest guys are prone to crashing and burning.Â
But she didn’t want to hit Abigail too hard, after all, she had justÂ
finished a one–sided love.Â
“Good night, Adelaide.”Â
“Good night.”Â
The phone rang, Adelaide rolled over and went to sleep.Â
Last time the treat didn’t happen, so this time Adelaide came to the company early to inform colleagues that she had alreadyÂ
Chapter75Â
booked a restaurant in advance for lunch together.Â
As soon as lunch break came, everyone happily followedÂ
Adelaide.Â
Reginald walked out of the office and found the work areaÂ
empty for the first time.Â
He wondered, “Why did I arrive so early today?”Â
Nathan said, “Today Ms. Pierce treated us to dinner, so we allÂ
went together.”Â
Reginald just chuckled when he heard it.Â
He thanked her so many times but she never said a word about treating him to a meal. She’s really heartless, a real ingrate.Â
The boss seemed upset, Nathan kindly said, “I heard them say that Ms. Pierce had a reservation at Kirby Restaurant, Mr. Thorton, isn’t that your friend’s place?”Â
“Huh?” Reginald was still angry and didn’t really think about it. He blurted out, “Whose friend’s store?”Â
Nathan silently mourned Kyson Guerrero for three seconds in his heart, and there’s no way Kyson can find out. Otherwise, Kyson would definitely grab a forty–meter long knife and chop his boss.Â

“…Kyson”Â
That said, Reginald remembered being dragged to get a haircutÂ
back then.Â
Kirby Restaurant.Â
The sun was shining, so they were having a meal on the second-Â
floor terrace, with a great view of a park.Â
“Come on, welcome Ms. Pierce to join our team.”Â
“Welcome.”Â
Adelaide smiled brightly and said, “Thanks everyone, eat and drink well, don’t be polite with me.”Â
“Hahaha, no problem, definitely gonna show off.”Â
“Ms. Pierce, next time we’ll treat you.”Â
“That’s settled then, we’ll end the design competition in Steyca Village,” said Jorge.Â
“Hey, I think it’s possible,” Mara chimed in, “Ms. Pierce, bring back a first prize so the boss can take us all to Steyca Village. Whether it’s a company–paid trip or not, it’s all up to you.”Â
Adelaide was surprised, “Can we still go on a trip?”Â
12 Didn’t the boss tell you, ifÂ
Chapter75Â
we win, he’ll invest in the old town project?”Â
Adelaide nodded, “Said it.”Â
“So, we definitely have to go on a field trip, then we might have the chance to travel on the company’s dime,” Mara saidÂ
confidently, “This is a benefit our boss often provides.”Â
Adelaide silently praised Reginald for being such a good bossÂ
again.Â
With so many great benefits, no wonder everyone is clamoringÂ
to join the team.Â
Adelaide enjoyed the atmosphere of eating and chatting with colleagues. Seeing that it was still early, she got up and ordered two more dishes from the waiter.Â
Suddenly, her shoulder was grabbed by someone, and she wasÂ
twisted around.Â
“Adelaide, you’re just here casually eating as if nothingÂ
happened,” Amanda said with a resentful expression, squeezing her words through gritted teeth.Â
