Chapter 1005
On the other end of the hung–up call, Celeste was fuming.
She immediately dialed Liam’s number
Liam was in a meeting at the company. Seeing Celeste’s call, he paused, stood up and said, “Discuss the points I just raised, we’ll continue the meeting later” He took his phone and left the meeting room.
The team looked at each other and eventually tumed to Owen, who looked calm
Someone joked, “Mr Assistant, can we knock off early today?”
Every time that special ringtone rang. Mr Reed would become particularly lenient
Not only do they get to leave early, but they also get a rare holiday, and the bonus didrit decrease. This past month felt like a vacation.
For a research team like theirs there’s almost no company in the industry that doesn’t have overtime.
Because experimental data needs continuity and accuracy. If the data is about to come out when everyone is about to clock out, who will record and analyze there’s no one in the lab, who knows if the data will be tampered with
So, during the crucial stage of research and development, their overtime becomes even more severe. The lab needs to be manned 24 hours a day When the data comes out in the middle of the night, a group of people gather to discuss strategies. This is common.
Because of this contrast, the past month with almost no overtime felt like heaven
Especially every time Mr. Reed was “lenient,” it was after this special ringtone So now, everyone gets excited whenever they hear this ringtone.
This time was no exception
Owen was indifferent, checking the documents while saying, “Work more, dream less.”
Owen was popular in the team, and no one was afraid of him They joked, “Last time Mr. Reed received this call, he let us leave early. The time before that, he was fuming after seeing the experimental results, but he held it back after the call. And the time before that, I saw Mr. Reed laughing on the phone with this person when I went to deliver some files Owen, Mr. Reed seems to really like his girlfriend.”
Owen glanced at him, “Just focus on your work and stop prying into Mr. Reed’s personal life.”
“Oh come on, Mr. Reed isn’t here, we can chat a little”
“Who’s Mr Reed’s new girlfriend? She’s super low–key, no news at all. Last time I went to negotiate with Mr. Francis from Galaxy Games, he didn’t know either Owen, you re always with Mr Reed, you must know, right?”
Owen said flatly, “I don’t know.”
“Ugh, never mind. Owen is the best at keeping secrets. If he doesn’t want to say it, no one can make him.”
“I really have no idea what Mr. Reed’s current partner looks like, ‘cause his ex was such a knockout. I mean, if Reed was willing to divorce someone like that, his current partner must be a real head–tumer”
Owen rolled his eyes, but he didn’t say a word.
“Ah, I really liked Mr. Reed’s ex, you know Only met her twice, but she’s such a sweet talker, not the least bit snobbish. She even helped me with directions once and tossed me an orange. I swear, when she smiled, I blushed like a schoolboy.”
