A Love Rekindled

Chapter 36

An icy voice emerged through the receiver, and I recognized Bruce's voice at once. When I thought about the rich ladies whe had been with Kate that night, I immediately knew what the reason was. It seemed that Bruce not only wanted to make Cindy part of the upper circle. He also wanted Kate to be the one to personally bring her in.

“Our gathering had already begun by the time she got off work. Since she was going to be late, it would be better not to come at all," Kate replied directly.

It wasn't a secret that Kate did not like Cindy. Since it was a conversation between mother and son, it would be inappropriate for me to keep listening. So, I quietly hung up.

When I went to the office the next day, I shared my experience at the comic convention with Caroline. After that, we discussed the team building event.

"Let's go and stay at a homestay. Nalvale has a pretty good scenery, and we can either have a campfire at night or have a dip in the hot springs. We can relax properly.”

We decided to set off tomorrow.

I had no objection to this. Caroline was the boss when it came to having fun.

After she got divorced, she spent half a year traveling around the country.

She would be the best person to know which team building venues there were around Joddesdon and Saza.

After we had decided, she immediately called everyone to the conference room to announce the good news.

Everyone seemed happy to hear it, except Cindy, who sat silently in a corner.

I couldn't tell what she was feeling.

I guessed that it had something to do with Kate standing her up, so I didn’t think much of it.

That afternoon, Caroline suddenly called me into her office and gave me a meaningful look.

She rarely looked at me that way.

"What happened?"

Caroline brandished her address book at me and said, "Mr. Zeigler just called."

"What did he say?"

"He said that Mr. Harold heard that we're going for a team building event, and that he has a better suggestion."

Bruce wanted both companies to take part in this team building event.

He would bring his secretarial team, and he would personally be in attendance as well.

He had also decided to change the team building venue from Nalvale to Horton Estate, which was located in the north of Jaddesdon and Saza Roeval would pay for all expenses.

I was confused. "What kind of place is Horton Estate?"

Caroline said concisely, "Basically, it's a resort where people toss money away. This is how much it costs to spend a night there."

She held up ten fingers, and I fell silent:

"Mr. Zeiglera so said that it's freezing eold at night in Nalvale, -~ which is s why it's not suitable for~ team building, " Caroline's lip curled. "Bruce I is probably worried that his little kitten will freeze to death.”

I finally realized what was going on. Cindy was probably still on her period.

It had to be'said that Bruce was a I pretty thoughtful boyfriend. Nowsit seemed that we were the ones-who weren ‘t considerate enough “Content >

"What do you think, Nance?”

I twirled my pen between my fingers and said calmly, “Since Mr. Harold is being so generous, let's just accept it.”

Caroline paused, and her gaze swept over my neck as she said, "I'm glad that you think so.”

After a while, Caroline updated the information about the team building event in our work group chat.

At the mention of Horton Estate, the chat exploded with excitement. Everyone began tagging

Bruce to express their thanks.

However, Bruce did not reply.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He only emerged when Cindy followed the trend. "Remember to bring more clothes."

We would stay overnight at the estate, and Bruce had thoughtfully considered that as well.

He was reminding Cindy in front of everyone, and not bothering to disguise his care for her at all.

Everyone understood at once. It was all thanks to Cindy that we were able to go to the ridiculously expensive Horton Estate. When it was time to get off work. I saw Cindy go into Caroline's office

"Ms. Whittaker, I won't be setting off with everyone tomorrow morning.”

The office door was open, and everyone could hear every word clearly.

Caroline said curiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Cindy shook her head and said, "Bruce said that he'll take me there as it's on the way for him. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted..." There would be a car to drive her there

"Got it." Caroline remained calm. "You'd better go home and rest early. See you at the estate tomorrow."

Cindy nodded.

“Oh, right." Caroline took a sip of tea as she stared straight at the young woman in front of her.

She smiled and said, "I should thank you on behalf of the company.”

Cindy saidin sickly sweet tones, "You're. too kind, Ms. Whittaker. Ss Bruce just wants everyone to have a gaod time. It's not just for mie."

Caroline's hand shook slightly as she lifted the lid on her cup.
