Chapter 39 Think before You Answer

"When is it convenient to meet... Sorry, Mr. Young! I have something to do here, and I'll talk yo you later."

The supervisor happened to see James standing in front of the door. He was so frightened that he hung up the phone immediately.

He swallowed and said carefully.

"Hello, Mr. Harvey."

James nodded slightly, "Do I scare you when I burst in?"

"Of course not!"

The supervisor's heart was beating fast, and he smiled uneasily,

"I just didn't expect you to come to me, it's... a surprise, yes, a surprise!"

"You seem to be in a good mood today."

James said carelessly.

The supervisor swallowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, and I am very glad."

"Really?"

James raised his eyebrow slightly, said meaningfully.

"In a-a-addition... there is one more thing."

The supervisor wiped the sweat from his forehead and his legs tremble slightly, "Recently I found a treasure by accident at the antique market." James took a few steps to the couch and sat down, "That's good luck, I wonder if I have the pleasure to look at your treasure and get some luck?"

"Mr. Harvey, you are too polite. It's my pleasure to let you have a look at my jade pendant."

Although the supervisor was reluctant to show his jade pendant, he took out the jade and handed it to James with both hands.

James was a little angry as he saw the jade pendant, he played with it in his hand and asked.

"The jade pendant is from the Ming Dynasty and it must be worth tens of millions. Did you found it in the antique market?

You're so discerning, how about I recommend you to work in the City Art Appraisal Center?

What do you think?"

"I... I..."

Large drops of sweat ran down his forehead.

James touched the warm, smooth jade pendant, his voice lowered a bit, "No rush, think before you answer."

The supervisor's legs went weak and he nearly fell on his knees.

His eyes wandered and finally he bit his teeth and said.

"Angela gave me the jade pendant and she wanted me to change her position."

Fearing that James might misunderstand, he spoke very quickly.

"But I've worked at the Dream Club for ten years and I'm always conscientious, diligent and disciplined. How could I go against my principles just because of a jade pendant?

I asked my manager for permission, and she agreed. Then I gave Angela a new position, and there is absolutely no self-seeking misconduct involved!"

At this point, he was extremely glad he had made the request with his manager.

"When did Angela give you the jade pendant?"

"This afternoon."

The supervisor answered quickly.

James propped his right elbow on his lap, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, and asked carelessly.

"Do you know why she wants to change the position?"

"It must be tired to be a cleaner."

The supervisor took it for granted.

"It's not a decent job, and it's not well-paid.

If she works as a receptionist and meet a generous gentleman, she could get rich at once and don't need to work hard

If she meets a naive rich guy, she can leave here and marry into a rich family. It's better than being a cleaner!"

"Did she tell you this?"

James looked up at him as if he could see through everything.

The supervisor got afraid, blushed and stuttered.

"No... not so, It's just my guess."

Why did James care about Angela so much? Did he know her?

Would he annoy him by giving her so much work during this time?

Thinking about it, the supervisor wiped the cold sweat from his head.

It can't... can't be so. If he really knew Angela, there's no way he would have let her work here as a greeting lady and cleaner. He must have been thinking too much. James looked straight at him. He was so frightened that his limbs trembled and his mind went blank under such steady gaze. Only then James looked away and left. "Mr. Harvey!"

Seeing this, the supervisor followed him, dragging his weakened legs, and shouted impetuously.

James stopped and turned to look at him, "Anything else?"

"Mr. Harvey, that..."

The supervisor stared directly at the jade pendant in his hand and pointed to it, wanting to get it back but not daring to say so outright. His face became red. James played with the jade pendant in his hand and glanced at him nonchalantly, "Well?"

"No... nothing..."

The supervisor felt like having his heart ripped out. He was reluctant to give away the jade pendant, but didn't have the guts to get it back from James. He could only say something which he didn't really mean. "It's getting late, please be careful when you go back."

James nodded slightly and, ignoring the supervisor's reluctant expression, put away the jade pendant and walked away.

"Angela, you're always getting me into trouble!"

The supervisor gritted his teeth and cursed. His eyes were cold. "Angela, wait and see!"

James went out and took a few steps forward, turning into the manager's office.

"Hello, Mr. Harvey."

Someone was reporting on Dream Club's recent purchases to Gabriela. Seeing him coming in, he bowed and greeted him.

James nodded and waved his hand to let him go out.

"I happened to have something to tell you and you came by, what a coincidence."

Gabriela smiled sweetly and stood up, boiling hot water and preparing to make tea, "There were too many cleaners in the clubhouse and not enough women on the PR department, so I transferred Angela to the PR department without asking you."

"Shortage of female PR at the club?

Do you need me to recruit some for you?"

James asked as he played with the jade pendant in his hand.

He clutched the jade pendant a little harder at the thought that Angela would drink with other men in a high-cut cheongsam, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Gabriela glanced at the jade pendant, which looked somewhat familiar and said, "Just kidding. How can you take it serious?"

"Why did you think of transferring her back?"

James walked over to the desk chair and sat down, his fingers tapping on the desk unconsciously.

Seeing this, Gabriela raised her eyebrows. She looked at him with interest.

Tapping the table?

She couldn't even remember how long it had been since she saw him showing his emotion directly.

She glanced at the jade pendant in his hand again and smiled meaningfully, "Because you discorded with Angela.

I thought of dealing with people in the right way, and a proud person like Angela, there's no point making her do manual labor. It's better to let her stay with the guests and wear her down." James stopped tapping the table. There was no change in his expression but Gabriela could tell her boss was unhappy.

The water was boiling and she smiled as she made the tea.

"Are you reluctant to do so?

By the way, Angela is as beautiful as flowers and has chased after you for so many years, if you can't bear to let her do it, it's..."

"Gabriela."

James looked up at her and said coldly.

"I got the nice tea recently, please have a try."

Gabriela made the tea and pushed the cup in front of him.

James took a sip of the tea, the water was too hot. He frowned and put it down on the table.

"Well, I am really amused!

What's wrong with you? How can you burn yourself with a cup of tea?"

Gabriela fell about laughing and her eyes were beautiful, "No one will believe me even if I tell the truth."

James squinted at her with a gloomy face.
