Chapter 1642

Unspoken Rule

Yvette was speechless and rubbed the place where Lance bumped into her, then forgave Lance,

“It doesn’t hurt.”

Lance looked at Nicole behind her and smiled. “Shall I walk you down?”

Nicole said, “Of course, Mr. Sheldon.”

She naturally knew that Lance was doing this for Yvette.

Yvette’s attention was not focused on Lance at all.

Everyone broke out in cold sweat.

They watched as a world war disappeared.

It was like their expectations were dashed.

Someone spoke. “It’s because Mr. Sheldon wants to chase Ms. Stanton. That’s why he’s so reserved
and gentlemanly!”

Others echoed. “That’s right!”

They did not understand the reason for Iris’s departure. The HR department was very tight lipped and
did not reveal a single word.

Iris had blocked all her colleagues too, so no one could contact her.

They suddenly realized that Iris, who was not competitive on the surface, actually had such a bad
temper.



Iris seemed quite different from the one they knew from the office.

The three of them went downstairs. Yvette turned around and waved at Lance.

“You can go back to work overtime. Bye!”

Lance was stunned. He glanced at Nicole, then looked at Yvette helplessly.

“I’m not working overtime today!”

Yvette’s mouth fell open in shock. “Why? You’re not working overtime today?”

Lance could die from anger because of Yvette.

He took a deep breath, “Yeah, I want to relax.”

Yvette nodded. “Then go home and relax.”

Lance said, “Do I have to go home? Can’t I go somewhere else?”

Yvette thought for a while. “Then do as you please. As long as you don’t cross the lines of morality, you
can do whatever you want.”

Lance felt like he could suffocate to death from the breath he was holding in.

He looked deeply at Yvette, who thought that he was angry, and she quickly spoke.

“I’m just joking. Of course, I believe in your character…”



To the side, Nicole could not bear to listen anymore. She spoke with a smile. “Why don’t you just bring
Mr. Sheldon along with you? That way, you’ll be able to keep an eye on him as well. It’s killing two birds



with one stone!” Lance’s eyes lit up, but before he could look at Nicole gratefully, he heard Yvette’s
decisive refusal.

“No, he can’t go.”

“Why?”

Nicole and Lance asked at the same time.

Yvette spoke in a serious voice. “This is our private gathering. There are rules. We can’t just bring a
family member.”

Lance’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say something but held it back.

Nicole looked at her in surprise. “Was there a rule like that?”

Yvette rolled her eyes and nodded naturally.

“There always has been. We just didn’t inform you. Well, now you know.”

Nicole said, “Oh..”

She was the last one to know about this.

Yvette took Nicole’s arm and dragged her toward the car.

“Let’s hurry up and go. Stop dallying or we won’t make it in time.”

Yvette seemed to be in a hurry.

Lance hesitated and took a few steps forward.



“Then I’ll send you there…”

Yvette said, “No need. Luca is both a driver and a bodyguard. What’s there to worry about?”

A second refusal.

Lance could not help but say, “If Luca can go, why can’t I?”

Yvette looked at him like he was an idiot.

‘I just said that he’s both a driver and a bodyguard, not a family member. You can’t go. If you really
want to relax, just go back and clean up the house!”

Then, Yvette simply closed the door.

Luca floored the pedal, and they left.

Lance was speechless.

So, his way of relaxing was to be a cleaner?

Lance’s chest heaved in anger.

This woman had a completely different face at work and after work.

When Yvette was at work, she was gentle, and her words were sweet like candy. She knew how to act
coquettish and pitiful.

Why was it that when she left work, she became so unreasonable?
