Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany) novel Chapter 65

Vincent looked up from his computer. "You read the whole thing?"

"Yes, sir," Alex answered.

"Alright, then." Vincent checked the time. "You can get off work since you're done."

Alex was flabbergasted. "But… you haven't told me what's wrong with it."

"Oh." Vincent took the document back from him. "Nothing's wrong with it. I just wanted you to read it a few more times. What if there was a mistake somewhere?"

Alex was rendered speechless. Vincent ignored him and called out to Tiffany, who was packing her things. "Hold up."

She stopped. "I've finished all my work, Mr. Lewis. Or did you need me to stay back for a while?"

She was fine with working overtime, but Teresa was still in the hospital. She wanted to spend some time with her.

"No, that's not it." Vincent turned off his computer as he spoke. When he saw Alex still standing there, he asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh… Yeah, I'm going to go. See you tomorrow, Mr. Lewis. You, too, Tiffany."

"See you, Mr. Zander."

Once Alex was gone, Tiffany and Vincent were left alone in the office. Vincent went to the pantry to collect the thermos flask Kelly had brought. He handed it to Tiffany and said, "This is for you."

She shook her head. "I don't like chicken soup, Mr. Lewis."

"It's not for you to drink."

"Huh?"

"I want you to pour this away for me and wash the flask before returning it to me tomorrow," Vincent said seriously. He seemed to be making a big deal out of this.

Tiffany said, "I can just wash it in the pantry for you."

"Yes. I did it in the restroom."

"Good." Vincent was afraid of scaring her off, so he grabbed his briefcase and asked, "Should we get going?"

Tiffany fell behind him. "You can head off first, Mr. Lewis."

He turned to look at her. "But why?"

She shook her head. "It's nothing."

She just didn't want to give others the chance to gossip about her. It was fine if they wanted to badmouth her, but she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Vincent.

Her concise words were enough for Vincent to sense that she was deliberately putting distance between them. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. "Alright, then. Stay safe, and I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."
