While Adrian was settling Jayden's issue, Angel and the colleauges in the company was busy preparing for the project that Adrian sucessfully get during their work trip in country K. Adrian also soon focus back into company matters. He oversees all the big and small matters so that thqy could have a perfect collaboration and give the other party a perfect result.
Angel was extremely busy assisting Adrian, working overtime everyday while getting minimal rest. After one torturous month, they were finally done and was wrapping up. Adrian know that his employees had worked hard and gave them all two days off.
Some staff from the company propose to have a company gathering to celebrate their sucess and to compliment their hard work. They are the party goers who often arrang gatherings for the staff of the company. Many female staff is hoping for president Wang to attend the gathering too but hopes are slim.
Adrian do not like to socialise especially with his employees so he had never attend any gathering organised by his staff but this time he overheard a female employee and Angel talking about the gathering and she expresses her interest on attending as it was her first time too. Adrian contemplated a little before asking for Angel via the intercom.
"Secretary Xu, give a notice to tell the whole company that the company gathering this time is compulsory. Anyone who did not attend without any valid reason will have a 10% pay cut for the month. And also tell them that I will be attending this time. Claim the expenses for the gathering from the finance department."
"Yes, president Wang."
Gina had also heard that Adrian was attending tge company gathering as news was spreading like wildfire. Gina will occasionally attend gatherings but she has never heard Adrian attend any gatherings ever since she enter the company so she was extremely shock.
Most of the female employees were extremely excited that their big boss who had never attend gathering will attend this time. Adrian had also asked Justin to join the company gathering with the reason of shielding off Gina's suitors. Justin has also gladly accepted his invitation.
On the day of the gathering, many female employees came well dressed and dolled up to attract their big boss attention. As it is for the whole company, the whole restaurant was booked and the entire ktv was also booked for their use. Justin and Gina came with their arms linked while Adrian was a distant behind them.
Everyone enjoyed the meal and was also having small talks. Angel was also enjoying it while hanging around with some female employees but she has never leave too far from Adrian's sight just in case he needs to look for her. After dinner, everybody went to the ktv.
Adrian really dislike such rowdy enviroment but he just endured it and stick around with Gina and Justin. He could not spoil the mood of the party by walking away or leaving so early. He will just have some drink and listening to songs and occasionally overheard some gossips but he do not intend to stop them as it was a party after all. Some female employees will try to grab Adrian attention but they did not go overboard as they will still want their stable job at WS coporation and can't afford to lose it. Adrian would just give them a slight nod.
"Bro, you never come for any gathering unless being forced. I heard you initiate coming yah. Why is that so?" Justin started teasing Adrian as though he can read his mind
"Shut up." Adrian was slightly embarrassed by what Justin had said
Everyone hang around until 10.30pm when people start moving off. Some choose to stay longer as the next day no one have to go to work while some was tired so they went home first. Gina and Justin was also preparing to leave when Justin turned to Adrian.
"Bro, are you not leaving yet?"
"I will leave soon too. You two can go first. send her home safely." Adrian told Justin.
After Justin and Gina left, Adrian walk to Angel and said
"Secretary Xu, take your stuff and come with me."
The employees outside urge Angel to head out quickly and not let big boss wait for her.
"I will send you home. You're drunk." Adrian look at Angel without any expression.
"Big boss, I....am.. not..drunk. You don't have to send me home."
Angel had drank a little too much and was tipsy and started going overboard.
Adrian has put Angel into the car with much struggle then Angel suddenly place a peck on Adrian cheeks and it made him froze for a while. The peck has made him fluttered for a while but he kept telling himself that he cannot be confuse and will only love Violet.
'I should send her home quickly and she cannot drink a drop of alchohol from now on.' Adrian thought to himself.
Adrian has unconsiously started to take note of Angel and took care of her and give her his attention.
