Stella Fletcher was startled by the sudden voice and jerked her head up, seeing Silas Everett standing in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat. She hastily stood up, feeling a bit nervous, and said, "President Everett, I still have work to finish, so..." Silas Everett slightly frowned, looking at the mountain of files on her desk, and said, "Work is important, but you should also take care of your health. You should eat when it’s time to eat." Stella Fletcher was surprised that Silas Everett cared about her, a warm feeling welled up inside her, but she also felt a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, President Everett. I’ll finish soon, and then I’ll go eat." Silas Everett looked at her stubborn expression, feeling a bit helpless. He sighed lightly and said, "Don’t overwork yourself. Health is the foundation of everything." After saying that, he turned and left the office. Stella Fletcher watched Silas Everett’s departing figure, her heart unable to calm down for a long time. She never expected that such a high-ranking leader would care so much about an ordinary employee like her. Riley Hawthorne, carrying her carefully prepared lunch, quietly came to Zachary Sutton’s office. Seeing him sitting at his desk handling files, she glanced at the time on her phone. "It’s already 12:30, isn’t Zachary hungry?" Thinking of this, Riley Hawthorne couldn’t help but knock on the office door. "Come in." Hearing the sound, Zachary Sutton said without looking up. Riley Hawthorne pushed open the door and walked in with a smile. "Zachary, it’s already noon, and you’re still busy." Zachary Sutton finally lifted his head, seeing it was Riley Hawthorne, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Riley, what brings you here?" Riley Hawthorne walked to his desk and placed the food container on it. "I saw you haven’t gone to eat this late, so I brought you something to eat." Looking at the food container, a warmth surged in Zachary Sutton’s heart. "Thank you, Riley. But I still have a lot of work to do, I might not have time to eat." Riley Hawthorne frowned slightly and said, "No matter how busy work is, you still need to eat, otherwise your body won’t be able to handle it. Just have a little to eat first, then continue working." Zachary Sutton hesitated for a moment but finally nodded. "Alright, I’ll have a little then." Riley Hawthorne opened the food container, revealing the dishes she had carefully prepared, including a heart-shaped fried egg. Seeing these delicious foods, Zachary Sutton’s appetite increased. He tasted a bit and couldn’t stop praising. "This tastes great, Riley, did you make it?" Riley Hawthorne smiled awkwardly and couldn’t help but touch the back of her head and said, "Sort of! My family’s housekeeper taught me, it’s my first time making it, not sure if it suits your taste." Actually, only the heart-shaped egg was made by her own hands; she, a wealthy young lady, didn’t know how to cook. Looking at Riley Hawthorne, Zachary Sutton was filled with gratitude and couldn’t help but say, "Riley, you really didn’t have to go through so much trouble. I could have ordered takeout or gone to the company’s cafeteria." Upon hearing this, Riley Hawthorne immediately shook her head and said, "How can takeout or cafeteria meals taste as good as what I made? Plus, Zachary, you take such good care of me, I also want to do something for you." "Riley, I..." Zachary Sutton hesitated to speak. At this moment, a knock came from outside the door. "Come in." Zachary Sutton looked towards the door, only to see a shapely woman walk in, with hair styled in large waves, wearing professional attire, and her white blouse deliberately unbuttoned three buttons, revealing her ample bosom. This woman was Ellie Adler, Zachary Sutton’s female secretary, recognized as the employee with the best figure in the company. Usually, her gazes at Zachary Sutton are almost tangible. Therefore, Riley Hawthorne really disliked Ellie Adler. Seeing her appear, Riley Hawthorne’s expression changed slightly. Ellie Adler walked into the office and was surprised to see Riley Hawthorne there as well, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled and said to Zachary Sutton, "President Sutton, this document requires your signature." Zachary Sutton took the document, quickly skimmed through it, and then signed his name. Ellie Adler took the document back, her gaze flicking to the food container on the desk, and she said with a smile, "President Sutton, didn’t you go to the cafeteria for lunch today?" Zachary Sutton smiled, "I was too busy and didn’t have time to go." "Isn’t this our company’s new female colleague?" Ellie then shifted her gaze to Riley Hawthorne, "How come you’re in the marketing department, right? What’s your name again?" "I’m Riley Hawthorne." Riley Hawthorne replied with displeasure, "I’m indeed a member of the marketing department." Ellie Adler nodded as if in deep thought, "I see! However, as a low-level employee, isn’t it inappropriate to come to President Sutton’s office?" This update is available on novęlfire.net Riley Hawthorne was just about to speak when Zachary Sutton hurriedly said, "Even though Riley is just an employee in the company, she’s also my friend. I asked her to come to the office after work." Seeing Zachary Sutton speak up for Riley Hawthorne, Ellie Adler’s eyes flashed with confusion. Although President Sutton always had beauties around him, this was the first time she’d seen him defend a low-level employee . It seems, this girl is not ordinary. Thinking of this, Ellie Adler glanced up and down at Riley Hawthorne. She is quite pretty, with a good figure, but her face is a bit too youthful, clearly a fresh intern. It’s really hard to understand what the boss sees in her. How can he like such a clean and simple girl over someone more mature and sexy? Although Ellie Adler had various complaints in her heart, she still maintained her professional smile. "Since she’s President Sutton’s friend, there naturally isn’t a problem. However, there are company rules, and as a company employee, didn’t you know that the boss’s office isn’t for random entries?" Riley Hawthorne could hear the implications in Ellie Adler’s words, her displeasure growing, she was just about to retort, "I..." Zachary Sutton slightly frowned, interrupting Riley Hawthorne, and said to Ellie Adler, "Alright, you can go out now." Ellie Adler nodded and turned to leave the office. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to give Riley Hawthorne a look, filled with jealousy and unwillingness. Watching Ellie’s departing silhouette, Riley Hawthorne’s anger gradually rose. "Zachary, what’s up with this Ellie? She’s clearly targeting me." Zachary Sutton smiled helplessly and said, "Don’t be angry, she might have misunderstood our relationship. However, in the future, try not to come to the office to find me, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Riley Hawthorne pouted and said, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Misunderstanding that I’m your girlfriend?" Having Riley Hawthorne say it so bluntly, Zachary Sutton suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Zachary Sutton cleared his throat lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Riley, don’t say such things. We’re just friends."
