The Man’s Decree Novel Chapter 83Maria looked for Kai after work. “Kai, we have a company rule that says the newcomer must buy
everyone dinner. So, where do you have in mind?”
At that moment, everyone in the office was staring at Kai. They were eager to hear his plan. It was a
long-standing office tradition.
“There’s such a thing? Who set them? The director?” Kai was bewildered.
“Kai, there’s really such a rule. When I first got here, I had to buy everyone dinner as well! If not
mistaken, I spent ten thousand on that meal! If you don’t obey the rules, your life here will be difficult,”
Troy cautioned Kai with a low voice.
“Kai, since you’re now in the sales department, you have to abide by the rules here. It is one of the
rules I’ve set when I became the manager,” Zayne said.
“You set the rules?” Kai scoffed and continued, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the money for it. Pay for your
own meals. Don’t ask of it from me as if you guys are a bunch of beggars.”
Despite Zayne’s grim expression, Kai left right after he finished his sentence.
“Kai is too arrogant! He’s just taking advantage of the fact that he has a special relationship with Mr.
Jennings. He doesn’t respect anyone, not even Mr. Carlson!” Lydia showed up and defended Zayne.
“Exactly! Even if he does have a special relationship with Mr. Jennings, he shouldn’t have spoken to
Mr. Carlson rudely. Furthermore, he likened us to a beggar! It’s not like we’d starve to death without
him!”
“Well, it seems like he underestimates what we could do to him. His time will come.”

sabotaged soon. But since I’m in the same team as him, I’d be suffering the consequences too!
“Hmph! There’s no such special relationship! I’ve asked Mr. Jennings already. The only reason Mr.
Jennings keeps him around is that he wants to make a fool out of him!” Zayne said to the others with a
cold glint in his eyes.
Apparently, Zayne had already asked Xavier about Kai. Xavier told him to make Kai look bad in front of
the other employees. Although Zayne had no idea what the reason behind that was, he dared not to
defy the orders of his general manager.
Everyone in the sales department left after hearing that Kai wasn’t buying them dinner. As Zayne was
bidding goodbye to Maria before he left, Maria’s phone rang.
It was Maria’s mom, Frieda, who called. Maria answered the call instantly.
“Maria, I have good news! Glamorous Designs had cleared their debt! They’ve repaid all the money
they owed to us. Now our company is back on its feet!” Frieda exclaimed excitedly.
“Really?” Maria was thrilled as well. “But we’ve been asking for the money for so long! So, why have
they suddenly paid us now?”
“Your dad asked around and found out that Mr. Lewis had spoken to them. They were so scared that
they paid us right after that!”
“Mr. Lewis?” Maria paused and continued, “But we don’t even know him. Why did he help us?”
“I was wondering about the same thing! Do you remember when I told you that Zayne wanted to use
his personal connections to help us? I think maybe Zayne knew Mr. Lewis personally. That’s why Icalled you. Please find out if he had anything to do with it. If so, invite him over for dinner!” Frieda
answered.
“Oh, I see. All right, I’ll ask him now.” Maria hung up the phone.
“What’s up? Why are you so happy?” Zayne curiously asked when he saw the excitement on Maria’s
face.
