Chapter 618: Chapter 320 Evie Larkin’s Shadowy Smirk in Her Eyes (3rd Update)_2
After the two entered the restaurant, Evie Larkin ordered, as Wendy was here for the first time and didn’t know what was good.
Just as she opened the menu to take a look, Evie Larkin said, "Let me order, I’ve tried a few dishes here and the taste is quite good."
Hearing this, Wendy closed the menu and threw it aside.
After Evie Larkin finished ordering, the waiter left, and she said lightly to Wendy, "Actually, I’m really glad that you asked me out.
I thought you hated me too and wouldn’t want to sit with me.
Besides, recently everyone in the company has been against me, and I’ve been isolated.
If people from the company find out you’re meeting with me now, they will definitely talk about you.
That’s also why I chose to eat in such a distant place."
Wendy disdainfully said, "Inviting you out for dinner definitely isn’t because I’ve stopped disliking you.
I just felt it was necessary to sit down with you, that’s all."
Wendy smiled, "Last night after work, Evelyn Claire told me about the conversation you had in the restaurant."
"That blabbermouth," Wendy felt annoyed thinking of Evelyn Claire, the company’s biggest gossip wasn’t called that for no reason.
"She really is a blabbermouth, you can’t say anything in front of Evelyn Claire.
I’ve been betrayed by her once, and I’ve learned my lesson.
I didn’t tell Evelyn Claire that we were meeting, otherwise everyone in the company would know you became friends with me tomorrow."
Wendy sneered, "Aren’t you friends with Evelyn Claire?"
"In the company, I have no friends.
Evelyn Claire... well, I used to be a big gossip topic and she loves gossip, so she always liked to be around me.
If I were just a regular employee, she probably wouldn’t even bother with me.
People like Evelyn Claire are not suitable to be friends, you can ask her about gossip.
But as friends, that’s a different story."
The food was served soon after.
Wendy weighed for a moment before saying, "So, it wasn’t you who asked Evelyn Claire to ally with me?"
"I wouldn’t do such a foolish thing, even if I really wanted to form an alliance with you, I wouldn’t go through Evelyn Claire.
If she knew, the entire company would know the next day.
I’d rather stand with a megaphone outside Kay’s office to ask if you want to join me against Jane Quinlan."
Wendy’s brow rose, "You also want to go against Jane Quinlan?"
Evie Larkin looked at her and calmly picked up her chopsticks, starting to eat some fried aloe.
Wendy was annoyed, this woman, putting on airs.
Before Wendy could say anything, she just heard Evie Larkin slowly say, "I hate her and want to drive her away from Kay.
But I don’t think I need an alliance.
It seems to me that you also like Kay.
If I drive Jane Quinlan away, then we would become rivals.
I don’t want to become enemies with someone who has fought alongside me before."
Wendy raised her eyebrows and nodded, thinking that today, at last, Evie Larkin wasn’t pretending anymore.
She used to play the angel face every day, pitifully seeking her sympathy.
But in reality, their mutual cunning was well understood.
"Your target is Kay too," Evie Larkin said, looking up at her.
Wendy sneered, "I don’t think I’m less deserving than Director Forrest, if someone like Jane Quinlan can, why can’t I?"
"You are indeed much better than Jane Quinlan.
That’s exactly why I dare not form an alliance with you.
Kay dislikes me; if I teamed up with you and we drove Jane Quinlan away, to then fight over Kay, I’m not confident I’d win against you."
"But if you don’t team up with me, then you’ll have even less of a chance.
You haven’t seen how Director Forrest treats Jane Quinlan, have you?"
Jane Quinlan has been working upstairs since yesterday.
I’ve seen with my own eyes how affectionate they are.
The kindness Director Forrest shows to Jane Quinlan is something women all over the world covet.
That’s exactly why I want to replace her.
Wendy knows it’s a bit odd to be talking about this with Evie Larkin.
After all, she’s never talked about these things with anyone else before.
Some ambitions are better kept in the heart.
But since Evie Larkin dared to speak her mind openly today, what is there for her not to dare?
She’s no coward.
However, upon hearing her words, Evie Larkin just shook her head and smiled with a slight hint of hatred in her expression.
"You say I’ve never seen it?"
Evelyn Claire scoffed, "During the New Year’s, I went to the Forrest family home, originally wanting to spend the New Year with the elderly and also to find a chance to get close to Kay, but on the first day of the new year, Jane Quinlan showed up..."
She spoke through gritted teeth, "Do you know why Kay moved Jane Quinlan upstairs?"
Wendy looked at her, "Jane said she wasn’t feeling well, and Director Forrest just wanted to move her upstairs to recuperate for some time, she would leave in about seven or eight months."
"Do you believe that?" Evie Larkin raised her eyebrows and sized Wendy up, it seems she doesn’t know about Jane Quinlan’s pregnancy.
She wanted to say it, but after thinking deeply, she decided she couldn’t say it.
"Do you know the inside story?" Wendy felt that there was more to the matter.
"Nolan knows Jane’s true nature, so he has never quite liked her.
This is something the people from the advertising department and those who’ve worked with her at the previous newspaper can testify.
If you don’t believe me, I can ask around.
She thinks she has now become Kay Forrest’s girlfriend, and she has no reason to tolerate Nolan’s disdain, so she wants to climb up further away from Nolan.
Jane Quinlan is from the assistant’s office, as you know, to climb up in our positions, there are only two possibilities.
One is Manager Qu’s position, the other is yours.
Manager Qu is trusted by the Forrest family, and it is difficult for Jane Quinlan to affect him.
So, she can only start from being Kay’s assistant."
Wendy clenched her fist, it turned out she was really targeting her position.
To think she still trusted her so much yesterday.
This damn woman, she is so infuriating.
Seeing Wendy’s expression, Evie Larkin nodded satisfactorily.
"I may have only lived with them for five days.
But I know Jane Quinlan better than you; I even know that she’s allergic to aloe vera.
You say I don’t know how well Kay treats Jane, huh?
Ha, everything you’ve seen in the office, I’ve seen it all at the Forrest house.
I’ve even seen much more than you have.
The reason I hate Jane Quinlan so much is because I loathe the arrogant way she flaunts herself in front of me."
Wendy looked down at the aloe vera on her plate, "You say Jane Quinlan is allergic to aloe vera?"
"Exactly, she said it herself, she gets pimples all over her face if she eats aloe vera."
Evie Larkin spoke coldly, "If you want to fix her, to watch her turn into a monster, you could use this against her."
Wendy smirked coldly, that’s a good idea indeed.
She called the waiter and ordered a glass of aloe vera juice, Evie Larkin added, "Make it pure aloe juice, and maybe, add some hawthorn juice for flavor."
Wendy was puzzled, "What if the effect isn’t good with the hawthorn juice added?"
"Without hawthorn, she would notice the strange taste with just one sip; hawthorn can mask the taste of aloe vera."
Wendy sneered, that makes sense.
After the meal, the two headed back to the company together in the car, Evie Larkin looking at the juice sitting in front of the car, a sinister smile appeared in her eyes.
