He was with his assistants, walking straight toward another private elevator without sparing her a glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a split second, she was stunned, wondering if he had been talking to her. Logically, he shouldn\u2019t even have noticed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as Winnie hesitated, another assistant came up behind her and said, \u201cMiss Olson, Mr. Morrison would like you to ride the elevator with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did she follow along, a little awkwardly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael was already standing inside the elevator. One assistant held the doors open and released the button only after Winnie stepped in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs the new job going smoothly?\u201d Michael asked lightly, his tone neutral and polite, without much emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After returning to the country, they had put their past conflicts behind them and resumed being friends. They had even chatted once in the past few days-though it was just him asking if she\u2019d arrived home safely, followed by an emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm. Yeap.\u201d Winnie nodded. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At those words, Michael couldn\u2019t help glancing at her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unexpectedly, their eyes met. When Michael stole a look at her, Winnie had also glanced at him.-\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both of them quickly looked away at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael felt the elevator grow a bit stuffy. He pressed his lips together, cleared his throat, and said, \u201cThe person you should be thanking is Khloe. I just told her about your situation. She values talent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm, yes, I\u2019ll thank her,\u201d Winnie replied perfunctorily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t say much more. Michael seemed unusually cautious, as if afraid she might latch onto him for\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 403\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>something.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They fell into silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the elevator reached Winnie\u2019s floor, Michael didn\u2019t ask-he already knew it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie didn\u2019t ask either. She simply said, \u201cThis is my stop,\u201d and stepped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Michael stepped out after her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinnie!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you buying so much coffee? Is it for other people? Remember-you\u2019re here to work, not to run errands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about how she had almost been knocked over earlier, an impulsive surge rose in Michael\u2019s chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie was still taken aback and hadn\u2019t had time to respond when Michael\u2019s two perceptive assistants quickly took the coffee from her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got it, Miss Olson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, I\u2019m not\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before she could finish, Michael cut her off. \u201cCome on. I\u2019ll go with you to deliver the coffee.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Michael\u2019s eyes, Winnie wasn\u2019t particularly likable. She had poor people skills, a tough mouth, and a stubborn streak. But in truth, she was the one who got bullied and suffered in silence the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since the Morrison Group was his territory, and Khloe couldn\u2019t conveniently step in, it felt necessary for him to smooth the path for Winnie, at least a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not it, Michael. It\u2019s not what you think. I bought the coffee for myself\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael didn\u2019t take her explanation seriously at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When they entered the R&amp;D department, everyone was gathered in the lounge eating lunch. Seeing Michael arrive with such a noticeable entourage-and even bringing Winnie along-everyone\u2019s expressions immediately changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Someone recognized him and quickly greeted him. \u201cMr. Morrison! What brings you here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael had once interned in the R&amp;D department. When Niel brought him around back then, he had formally introduced him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just taking a look,\u201d Michael said, not elaborating.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He gestured for his assistant to hand out the coffee, then turned to look at Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinnie is new. She can\u2019t carry this much coffee by herself. I happened to run into her and helped bring it up. Next time, be more considerate of the newcomer. If you need her to go, have a few people go together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 403 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 403 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26924\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
