Chapter 81“Didn’t you tell Mr. Jennings that Jared is an ex-convict?” Maria continued pursuing the matter. “Of

course, I did! I almost had a heart attack at the look in Mr. Jennings’ eyes at that time. If I dared to

dissuade him further, he might even demote me!” In fact, Zayne was still fearful when he recalled

Xavier’s gaze earlier. “Don’t tell me he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings?” Maria’s brows creased.

“Let’s just observe how things are first.

If he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings, we can’t target him anymore in the future. Instead, you’ll

have to fawn over him,” Zayne reminded. “I know that!” Maria rolled her eyes before stalking out of the

office. By then, the dozen or so people in the sales department had already heard that the general

manager himself gave the order to employ an ex-convict. Such a matter spread very quickly in the

company, especially a gossip like this.

“That man named Jared must be somehow associated with Mr. Jennings. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have

been hired!” “I can’t help feeling scared that an ex-convict is going to work alongside me.” “We’ve got to

be careful when he arrives later. If he really knows Mr. Jennings, we’ll be dead if we accidentally offend

him!” The staff in the sales department gathered and whispered among themselves. “What are you all

doing?

Do you not have any work?” Maria reproached coldly upon seeing everyone gossiping together when

she exited the office. Although she was merely an ordinary sales representative in the sales

department, she always threw her weight around. After all, no one dared to offend her when Zayne was

the department manager. Following her reprimand, everyone dispersed. Only a girl with short hair

headed toward her.

novelbinThat girl was known as Lydia Wilson, and she was very close to Maria. “Maria, have you heard that the

sales department has recruited an ex-convict? And it’s rumored that Mr. Jennings himself made the

hiring decision, so they’re probably associated somehow,” Lydia whispered to Maria. “Nonsense! Howcould he possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings? It’s just dumb luck!” Maria didn’t believe that

Jared really had anything to do with the general manager.

At that, Lydia was taken back. “Are you acquainted with that man named Jared?” Realizing her slip of

the tongue, Maria hastily shook her head. “I’m not acquainted with any ex-convict! I just feel that he

can’t possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings when he had just gotten out of prison. Anyway,

don’t simply gossip about him! I’ll ask Mr. Carlson to inquire about it from Mr. Jennings.” About an hour

later, Jared finally completed the onboarding procedures.

After getting an employee ID, he went to the sales department. When he arrived, he noticed everyone

staring at him wide-eyed. That had him rather discomfited. “Congratulations on joining the sales

department, Jared! Make sure that you cherish this opportunity,” Zayne said to Jared in a calm voice.

He didn’t dare target the man before he had ascertained whether he was associated with Xavier. In

response, Jared nodded. “Come here for a moment, Troy!” Zayne called out to a bespectacled young-

looking man. The man promptly trotted over and murmured timidly, “You called for me, Mr. Carlson?”

“You’ll be Jared’s mentor henceforth. You both will be in a team, so remember to teach him the ropes,”

Zayne instructed him. The man glanced at Jared with a conflicted expression. “Why, do you have an

objection to that?” Zayne threw him a glare. The man quickly shook his head.

“No, no…” At his acquiescence, a smile bloomed on Zayne’s face. He then turned to Jared. “Go with

him. Your desk is adjacent to his.” Having said that, he pivoted and returned to his office. The other

colleagues in the sales department regarded Jared with a smirk. Maria also stifled a giggle as she went

back to her seat.
