Chapter 115: Do Your Best
“Zayne, you must take this opportunity and do your best to impress Mr. Jennings,” Maria encouraged. “If he likes you, he might offer you a managerial position in the procurement department! That’s a good opportunity!”
“Yeah, don’t worry,” Zayne nodded enthusiastically. “I’ll do everything I can so I can buy a house at Dragon Bay.”
A blissful smile spread across Maria’s face.
Unlike the others, Jared was less thrilled. He frowned, sensing the dinner might be part of Xavier’s plot against him. However, he didn't care. "Bring it on," he thought.
Within a few minutes, everyone was ready to leave for Vintage Restaurant. Unlike the others, Hilda and Jared did not drive themselves to work.
“Hilda, come. I’ll drive you!” Maria waved.
“Thank you, Maria!” Hilda gratefully accepted the ride.
“You’re welcome. Sit tight!” Maria sped off.
“Oh no, how about Jared? We’ve left him behind,” Hilda worried, assuming Maria would offer Jared a ride.
“No way I’m fetching him. He’ll only dirty my car! The others are behind us; he can get a ride with them!” Maria sniffed.
Hilda remained silent. She thought Jared could indeed hitch a ride with the others.
However, none of them offered him a ride. Each one drove past him hurriedly.
Troy, in his run-down second-hand car, intended to pull over for Jared, but Zayne honked insistently from behind, urging him to keep going. Troy could only glance helplessly at Jared before driving away.
Zayne, following closely behind, was about to pass Jared when he abruptly pulled over. But instead of offering a ride, he rolled down his window and mocked, “Jared, do you realize how unpopular you are? Not a single car stopped for you.”
Jared responded with a cold smile.
Zayne, taking Jared’s silence as weakness, said smugly, “Get yourself a taxi! Don’t worry, I’ll reimburse you tomorrow.”
Jared snorted. “Reimbursement? That’s unnecessary. Who knows, I might arrive at the restaurant before you!”
“Pfft! Unless you grow wings and fly, there’s no way you’ll arrive first!” Zayne burst into laughter and sped off.
As Zayne drove away, Jared channeled his spiritual energy from his abdomen to his legs. He couldn’t fly, but he could run faster than a car.
Just as he was about to sprint, a Bentley pulled up. It was Tommy.
Surprised, Jared asked, “What are you doing here, Tommy?”
“My Lord, some debtors were so spooked by my voice that they handed over the money immediately! Unfortunately, your company’s financial department had already closed, so I brought the money to you.”
Tommy had called the debtors after receiving the documents from Jared. Fearing for their lives, they wanted to pay Sentiment Chemical Limited immediately, but since the financial department had left, they gave the money to Tommy instead.
Amused, Jared chuckled. “There’s no rush. You can give the money to the company tomorrow.”
