Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 1617

"Are you joking? Dean, you are the president's assistant, so you get paid more than me. Do you know how long it took me to get to this position?" Irene said and patted Dean's forehead.

"Haha..." Dean laughed embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head. "Irene, it's not easy to be the assistant president. There are so many things to do every day." There were also many dangerous things that he needed to do, and it was just that no one knew about it in the office.

He felt he was doing such dangerous work. If he was not careful enough, he would be caught by the enemy straight away.

If the company's secret was leaked by him, the president would definitely not let him go.

Irene nodded in agreement. "My work isn't easy either. I have to go get the customers all the time. My dream is just to be a landlady so that I can just collect rent every day without doing anything." Dean felt they were really similar on this.

"That is my dream too. Can you share with me some experiences on investing in real estate? The one I am living with mother is quite good, but it may be easier to be a landlord."

Hearing this, Paula, who was still paying mortgages each month, felt very speechless.

She didn't even want to listen to their conversation anymore.

"Alright. I added you on SNS anyway, so we can chat later." Both of them had the same taste, so Irene started speaking more.

After chatting for a while, Irene left to greet the others.

Only then did Paula have the time to ask Dean alone.

"Dean, Chelsea has been sent into the prison. Do you think she still has a chance to come out again?" She had never thought that this day would come so soon.

Dean glanced at her and said coldly, "What's your relationship with her? Why do you care about her so much?"

"I just want to know if she can come out. Aren't you and the legal team working on this case?" She wanted to make money by selling inside information, after all, she still needed Chelsea to give her money. When she heard about Chelsea's accident, she was also shocked.

She didn't know if Chelsea fell into Eden's trap or Chelsea was just too stupid. Everyone was so confident that Chelsea would win, but everything completely changed over a night.

Dean said coldly, "I'm sorry, I can't talk to you about it."

Paula looked at him angrily, "Am I an outsider? I'm a employee of the company."

Dean glanced at her and replied bluntly, "You're an outsider."

"You..."

"Dean." Just as Paula was going to say something, Thalia called Dean's name and walked towards them with a smile.

Dean looked at her and smiled gently. She looked very beautiful tonight.

She didn't wear black today, which she used to wear all the time, but changed into a while pleated dress. Her long hair fell on her fair-skinned shoulders, making her look very charming. "Thalia, you look so beautiful tonight!" He complimented her from the bottom of his heart.

Thalia looked at herself, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Am I not beautiful normally?"

Dean quickly explained, "Of course you are. Normally you are beautiful and very cool, but tonight, you look very sweet." He felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Hearing this, Thalia smiled with a blushed face, feeling a little flattered.

Paula was a little unhappy. Dean had never said anything nice to her at all.

She didn't understand why Thalia always come to talk to him, who was such a poor man.

"Thalia, let's go somewhere else and have a drink." After saying this, Dean left with Thalia and completely forgot that Paula was still there.

Paula stood there and watched the two leave. She felt a little uncomfortable when she was totally ignored.

"Am I not as good-looking as Thalia?" She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She couldn't believe that even someone like Dean didn't take her seriously.

She turned back and looked at the party venue. The food and wine smelled very delicious, and everyone looked very gorgeous inside.

However, she seemed to be out of tune with these people.

Paula took out her phone and sent a message to Mr. Wiggins. However, after waiting for a while, he still didn't reply.

She could only walk back to the hall, took her favorite food, and sat alone in the corner to eat.

Time really flies, and it was New Year's Eve already. The sky was clear and the weather was getting warmer.

The entire Alwynn Group finally finished the last day of work before the New Year.

Victor took Eden to the supermarket and the shop early in the morning. After getting all the gifts for everyone, they went directly to the Clement family.

They bought a lot of stuff, and Eden also bought some toys for Jimmy.

Seeing the toys, Eden couldn't help but think of her three children. This was the first time that they weren't together for the New Year.

Victor knew that she missed the children, so he put the things in the car and said, "Eden, shall we go and visit Kenny them after the New Year? I'll send them the lucky money tomorrow morning." Eden smiled and nodded. After putting everything in the car, they got in and went straight to the Clement family.

Aisling knew that Eden and Victor were coming back for the New Year, so she got up early in the morning to get everything prepared.

The servants were all on holiday, but Zofia was there, so she was not too tired.

By the time Eden and Victor arrived, lunch was already served.

The house was decorated with all the new year decorations, making everyone feel excited about the New Year.

Even the pillow on grandma Clement's couch was changed into bright red. The festive colors made people feel particularly happy.

"Auntie!" Jimmy had always liked Eden, so he was especially happy to see her.

As for Victor, who always had a cold face on, Jimmy just completely ignored him.

Victor knew that children didn't like him, but he really couldn't do anything about it.

"Hey, Jimmy. You are so much taller now." Eden smiled and put down the gift in her hands, then picked up Jimmy and walked towards grandma Clement.

Everyone was at home. After Eden greeted them one by one, she held Jimmy and sat with grandma Clement.

Buddy looked at Eden with some jealousy, "Eden, you don't come often, but how come he is so close to you? I'm his dad, but he doesn't even like me that much." Before Eden could say anything, Jimmy pouted and said, "Auntie is beautiful and smells good."

Buddy was totally speechless.

Seeing that everyone was there, grandma Clement smiled from ear to ear, "Eden, Victor, I'm so happy that you are here."
