Chapter 173 Workplace Veteran

Thanks to the Chase family, Peyton finally got rid of Nolan.

Even though they were in the same company, she, as a sales department employee, couldn’t meet

Nolan.

The only regret was that leaving the Secretary’s Office meant she was getting further and further away

from those few secretaries. This went against her original intention of coming to the company.

Peyton could only place all her hopes on Phillip. She hoped that he would be able to find some useful

information after he left this time.

While she was contemplating, she heard a sigh in her ear. “Ah! Why is it me again who has to submit

the planning form?”

Peyton turned her head and saw a pair of round, bright eyes. It was Iris Milton, who was also quite

enthusiastic.

“What’s wrong, Iris?”

Iris pushed aside the stray hair near her ear, looking helpless. “The planning sheet for this project

needs to be submitted. You know we were already in Group C. We came last month. I don’t even dare

to step into the Secretary’s Office. If I run into Mr. Bryant, I’ll be scared to death.”

“Was Mr. Bryant scary?”

“You are new here, so you don’t know. If Mr. Dalton was the King of Hell, then Mr. Bryant would be his

servant. His stern and impartial demeanor even scared the janitor’s daughter to tears.”

Peyton nodded thoughtfully. “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go. After all, I’m just a newcomer. It doesn’t

matter if he scolds me a couple of times.”

“Wow, Peyton, you are so good. Thank you,” Iris quickly handed the folder to Peyton.

Peyton looked at the folder in her hand. The corners of her mouth

lifted slightly. She was worried about not being able to approach those secretaries.

However, as soon as she left, the colleagues who were just laughing around suddenly changed their

expressions.

“I really envy the courage of young people. Another clueless newcomer has arrived. How many

newcomers is this for the year?”

Iris crossed her arms and looked disdainful, saying, “You should know that this is the only way to get

close to Mr. Dalton. If she appears in front of Mr. Dalton more often, he might take notice of her.

Otherwise, who would be willing to take the risk of being scolded to do this?”

“Tsk, the previous person had their hand twisted and then was thrown out by Mr. Bryant, right?”

“Should we bet on how many days she would quit?”

“I’ll join too. The person who loses will treat everyone to a meal.”

Peyton went upstairs. She first glanced at the office at the end of the hallway. The door was tightly

closed. Only then did she instinctively breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned around and entered the

Secretary’s Office.

Her appearance made the busy few turn their heads towards her at the same time. Jaylah blinked at

her. “I heard you went to the sales department? You don’t like your job?”

“Of course not,” Peyton chuckled. “I just felt that I wasn’t capable of handling this job. I didn’t want to

hinder Mr. Dalton’s work. So, I decided to gain experience in the sales department first.”

“Ah, we finally had a stunning beauty. Unfortunately, you left again.”

Jaylah was very clever. She knew that Peyton’s identity was extraordinary.

Over the years, Peyton was the first secretary to bring meals for Nolan. Peyton would switch between

being a secretary and doing sales. If it weren’t for the management’s instructions, changing positions

wouldn’t be so simple.

So she was also willing to please Peyton. “Peyton, you didn’t come here just to chat with us, right? If

you need any help, feel free to ask.”

“Jaylah, this is the planning proposal from our team. Could you please pass it on to Mr. Dalton?”

Jaylah’s eyes shifted. In an instant, she understood. “Alright. Be careful in the sales department. They

are all sly old foxes.”

“Thank you, Jaylah.”

Peyton took out the gift that had been prepared long ago. It was a brooch. And the gift for the

gentleman was a tie clip.

“I thought I would be working in the Secretary’s Office, so I prepared all the gifts. Please accept them,

Jaylah.”

“I just like you being so clever,” Jaylah played with the brooch. “Thanks.”

Peyton distributed the gifts to several other people. Due to her relationship with Nolan, they also dared

not refuse to accept them.

Peyton stood in front of Ariella. She noticed that Ariella had been burying her head in work since she

appeared. Ariella hadn’t looked up at her once.

Even though she approached and placed the box on the table, Ariella didn’t look at her. “Ariella, this is

the gift I gave you.”

Ariella looked up and pushed her glasses frames with her hand. She had a serious expression on her

face. “Are you here at the Dalton Group just to waste time on things like this?”

“Oh, Peyton, don’t mind her. That’s just her personality. If she doesn’t want it, you saved yourself some

money.”

Jaylah blinked at Peyton. “I will hand over the plan to Mr. Bryant. Don’t worry.”

“Okay, thank you. Then I won’t bother you anymore,” Peyton’s gaze swept over Ariella.

Ariella continued working, seemingly with only work in her eyes.

Jaylah and Ariella had completely opposite personalities. If one of them had a problem, who would it

be?

Peyton believed that the fox would not be able to hide its fox tail.

Even if she didn’t take action, the other party couldn’t resist.

She put a tracker in the brooch. This time, she had to take control.

“Bang.”

Peyton was lost in thought. So she never expected there would be someone on this quiet floor. She

bumped into someone’s arms.

A familiar voice sounded above her head. “You were no longer a child.

Can’t you see the way?”

Peyton quickly pulled away from his embrace. She thought Nolan was in the office. Who could have

guessed he would suddenly appear like a ghost?

“Sorry, Mr. Dalton. I had to leave earlier due to some matters.”

Peyton hardly looked at him. She hung her head, apologized, and hurriedly left. She was afraid of

being left behind by Nolan.

Peyton ran a few steps to the side of the elevator. Just as the elevator doors opened, Lucian and

Jayson walked out from inside.

When thinking about his colleagues in the sales department, Peyton immediately imagined them as

minions of the King of Hell.

She found out that they really resembled the subordinates of the King of Hell.

Peyton quickly covered her mouth and entered the elevator.

Nolan didn’t miss the smile at the corner of her mouth. These days, he didn’t look for her. And she was

really far away from him, as if she wanted to completely separate herself from him.

However, he had already noticed Peyton coming up from the

surveillance. So he specifically waited here, hoping to “accidentally” run into her.

Nolan thought, “Peyton saw Lucian and Jayson laughing so happily. Why does she look at me as if she

saw a ghost?”

Nolan had a calm expression on his face. “Find out why she came up.”

“Okay, Mr. Dalton.”

Soon, Lucian had an answer. He planned to give it to Nolan.

Nolan glanced at it and threw the proposal away. “Garbage! Get the person in charge here.”

The file “pa” was smashed onto the table, making a loud noise. The janitor who was dusting the

bookshelf was startled.

Peyton had just returned to the C team office. The chatter among everyone also came to a halt.

Iris had a big smile on her face. “Peyton, thank you so much.”

“No problem, it’s just a small favor.”

She had just sat down for a short while when Brynn stormed out angrily. “Who sent the plan?”

Without waiting for Peyton to speak, Iris sensed that something was wrong with her ability to read

people’s expressions. She immediately blamed Peyton, saying, “It’s Peyton, she insisted on showing

off and going to the Secretary’s Office. Brynn, what’s going on?”

Brynn glared at Peyton angrily. “What did you say in front of Mr. Dalton? How did he get so angry? He

even asked me to go upstairs for a talk!”
