Nicole looked around, but no one echoed.

She cleared her throat and began to speak again. "Mr. Xiao, I know that Zoe has been with you for a long time. It must be hard saying goodbye to her, but you can't keep a vicious woman like Zoe. Something bad would likely happen in the future..."

"Who told you to capture these photos?" Barton interrupted Nicole as his face turned to a scowl. "And when did you have the right to tell me what to do with my company? Are you deciding on my behalf now?"

"What?" Nicole paused for a moment, but she hurried to explain herself. "No, it's not like that!

Mr. Xiao, I know you are too embarrassed to admit that you are being threatened by Zoe. Don't worry. With me, you won't have to worry about anything.

As long as you let me handle this, I will work on it efficiently, and I won't make it any difficult for you."

"I think you're being delusional!" Barton ridiculed her. "No one threatened me, and what you're accusing Zoe

and Zoe should not have shown mercy to a woman like Nicole.

After things had been settled in the office and Nicole was nowhere to be seen, Barton went straight to his office, and the employees flocked Zoe like a fan club. Someone said, "Zoe, you won Mr. Xiao's heart! You are awesome!"

"Exactly! When can we expect to receive your wedding candies?"

"True! When will you be married?"

Zoe flashed a silly smile and said, "It's still up to destiny, I guess? The wedding candies can probably wait."

"I think it will come any day now!" said Melina with a bright beam on her face. "I bet Mr. Xiao is just waiting for the perfect time. The engagement party will be here soon!"

"Let's not talk about wedding candies now. Zoe, don't you think you should treat us to dinner?"

"Sure! Why not?"

said Zoe. With the enthusiastic faces in front of her, she did not dare to disappoint and gave in to their request. "Let's do it tonight! You girls choose the place."
