Chapter 178 I Said You Were Hypocritical.
The next morning, Peyton appeared in the office full of energy.
The other colleagues in the office had red eyes and haggard faces after staying up late. In comparison to them, Peyton looked like a human who had walked into a zombie circle. There was a stark contrast between them.
Peyton seemed to have forgotten their malice from yesterday. She politely greeted Iris.
“Good morning.”
Her dazzling smile annoyed Iris to no end. Iris took the cup of coffee and returned to her seat. She muttered under her breath, “So leisurely.”
Peyton didn’t regress either. She looked innocent and said, “I wanted to participate in the planning that day. Wasn’t it because you all thought I was a newcomer and were afraid I would leak the plan, even not allowing me to enter the room? Why are you complaining now?”
Iris was already furious in her heart. She fiercely threw the documents in her hand onto the table. “Peyton, what are you saying?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Peyton shrugged. “Nothing. I said you were hypocritical.”
“Peyton, watch your language. Who do you think you are? Do you even deserve to talk to me like this?”
Brynn’s voice suddenly rang out. “So early in the morning. What are you guys arguing about? I could hear your voices from far away. Are you crowing roosters?”
Iris hurriedly ran to Brynn and complained, “Brynn, Peyton thinks she’s superior to everyone. She freely insults her colleagues.”
“Alright, stop it. Do you want the other groups to see us as a joke?” Brynn glared at Iris fiercely.
Iris was very dissatisfied and wanted to say a few more words. But Brynn’s face had already returned to normal. “Peyton, stay after work today. You’re coming with me to meet Mr. Dillon McKinney. We’ll discuss collaboration.”
Finally, she paused and said, “This is work.”
Brynn didn’t give Peyton any room for refusal. Peyton could tell from the smug expressions of others that Dillon was not a good person,
Sure enough, in the afternoon in the restroom, Peyton heard someone giggling. “Mr. McKinney is such a pervert. Peyton is in trouble tonight.”
“Tsk, Brynn is still clever. She used Peyton to negotiate a deal. As long as Mr. McKinney was pleased, he naturally signed the contract. This way, we could surpass Group B.”
“If I were Peyton, I would have swallowed my pride. What’s the point of a newcomer showing off? All newcomers have to go through this. But she’s different. She dares to argue with Brynn right from the start.”
“Maybe she did have some connections.”
“Give it up. Brynn had already checked. Mr. Bryant is not interested in women, let alone having a girlfriend. How could she possibly have connections?”
Peyton didn’t come out of the compartment until their laughter faded
away.
Did Brynn want to take her to exchange cooperation?
Ha.
Peyton finished washing her hands and was drying them off. She noticed a janitor nearby tidying up the trash. Peyton approached and asked friendly, “Hello, excuse me. Are you still in need of a cleaner? My mom is currently unemployed. I would like to have her give it a try.”
The cleaner said enthusiastically, “That’s a good idea. However, we don’t have any vacant positions recently. I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
“Thank you.” Peyton said as she took out a new hand cream from her bag. “If there are any job openings, please let me know. This is my small gift. Thank you for your help.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to inform you,” the cleaner didn’t refuse and quickly accepted the hand cream.
They chatted casually for a few moments. Then, Peyton voiced her curiosity and asked, “Do you also take care of cleaning Mr. Dalton’s office?”
“Stop thinking about it. Mr. Dalton’s janitor was appointed by himself. She is different from us.”
“Why is it different? When I went to submit the proposal yesterday, I happened to see the janitor wiping the bookshelf for him. I just found it strange. How could she be so irresponsible and work while Mr. Dalton is on duty?”
“The little girl, she had a special background.”
