Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Dinner Together Tonight Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Dinner Together Tonight What’s going on?

Kingston Howard watched her slender eyelashes quiver slightly from surprise and, feeling good, his lips curled up as he asked, “Enna, you don’t have any other plans tonight, do you?”

Enna…

Although Kingston Howard usually addressed others in the same manner, at that moment, the nickname seemed to carry a different connotation.

After all, the new girl had just arrived today, and the Director actually remembered her name. What did that imply…

Quite a few female colleagues were already looking at Enna Clark with unfriendly eyes, while the majority examined her as if trying to ascertain the nature of her relationship with Kingston Howard.

Being watched by so many pairs of eyes, and with Kingston Howard waiting for her response, Enna Clark had initially wanted to decline, but the others hadn’t given her the opportunity to do so.

Before she could speak up, a female colleague next to her bumped her shoulder as if by accident and said teasingly, “Welcoming newcomers is a company tradition, Enna certainly doesn’t have any other plans, right?”

Others immediately understood and piled on the praise, “Exactly, exactly, it’s not easy for the Boss to treat us, Enna surely has no plans.”

“Enna, just go ahead and order. Tonight the Boss is picking up the tab, don’t be polite with him.”

If it weren’t for the fact that no one had paid her any attention all day, Enna Clark might have thought she had already blended in with the group; otherwise, why would these people talk as if they were so familiar with her?

However, with everyone egging her on in turns, if she declined again, she would appear to be overdoing it.

Right on cue, Kingston Howard asked again, “Enna, do you have plans?”

Enna Clark glanced at the looks around her and frowned slightly, “I don’t have any plans.”

“Okay then, tonight we’ll go to Dolar Hot Pot,” Kingston Howard announced to everyone.

The other colleagues, upon hearing Dolar Hot Pot, were thrilled.

“Remember to finish up your work before leaving, so we can head straight to Harvestville after work.”

Harvestville is a big place; on the first floor, there’s Dolar Hot Pot and Seafood, and upstairs are the clubs—spending here isn’t cheap.

Kingston Howard is certainly generous when he treats people.

“Understood, Director.”

“Okay, Boss.”

“The Boss is mighty.”

Having said that, Kingston Howard went back to his office.

Enna Clark didn’t want to stay and be scrutinized further, so she went back to her own spot to get busy with the last of the binding work.

…

As soon as work was over, the two female colleagues sitting next to her, who had made her fetch coffee in the morning, had changed their attitude and took the initiative to ask, “Enna, are you done?”

“Yes.”

“Did you drive here? If not, do you want a ride to Harvestville later?”

“No need, I drove here.”

The colleague sitting to her right gathered her bag and said, “You drove? Great, Linda, I won’t need your ride anymore; I’ll go with Enna directly.”

As she said this, she turned her head to Enna Clark, “Enna, could you give me a lift later, my car isn’t allowed on the roads today.”

“Sure.”

The woman beamed with joy and immediately said, “Then I’ll wait for you.”

Linda glanced at her subtly, knowing the other woman cozied up because she saw the Director was taking good care of the new girl and figured the newbie must have connections.

In the workplace, such things were commonplace, and she wasn’t surprised.

Without saying much, she took her purse and left first, but not before warmly telling Enna Clark, “I’ll go ahead, Enna; I’ll save us some seats. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Ten minutes later, Enna Clark had finished up her work and, along with another female colleague, drove to Harvestville—
