Chapter 613: Seeking A Moment Of Ease

Jane’s POV:

After George exited the meeting room, Boswell and I also stepped out and walked alongside him.

Both Boswell and I were a little confused. It was just a trivial matter. Even if the document was lost, it had
nothing to do with Zhester Technology. At most, it amounted to a dereliction of duty of the law firm. I
couldn’t understand why George had blown the whole matter out of proportion. This was not George’s
style of handling matters. I didn’t realize it until I saw Lucy walking past us and towards Helen in the
meeting room.

It appeared to me that George had created a fuss to help Lucy’s best friend, Helen, to get justice. It was
about Lucy, not Helen. George was using public office for private gain. He was pampering Lucy too
much. Boswell whispered in my ear, “Is he really serious this time?”

“How would I know?” I looked at the tall, stone figure walking in front of me and felt a little confused. I
had known

George for so many years, but I had never seen him behaving so irrationally. He had always been
particular about separating public matters from private interests, and he never brought his personal
emotions to work. But ever since my return, 1 had noticed George breaching his own principles for Lucy
several times. Was he so in love with Lucy? Helen and Lucy walked out of the meeting room arm in arm.
I could vaguely hear them whispering about what had transpired in the meeting room.

“I told you a long time ago that you should not befriend someone like Mattie. She is a back stabber. You
should have taken revenge on her when you came back from Philly last time. Do you know why she
always sets you up? It is because you are an easy target!”

“Oh! I see.”

“If George hadn’t bailed you out this time, you would have taken the blame again.”



At that moment I was positive that George had supported Helen for Lucy’s sake. The two of them walked
past us, talking. Lucy greeted us with a smile and then walked off with Helen.

They were still walking arm in arm like inseparable friends.

“Don’t the two of you have work to do?” I asked in an icy tone. Lucy and Helen stopped abruptly and
turned to look at me. Lucy pointed at herself and asked as if uncertain, “Are you asking us?”

Helen even replied rudely. “I’m sorry. We’re not employees of Zhester Technology.”

The implication was that they were free to do as they pleased and I had no right to interfere. I had never
been insulted like this in the workplace before. I always had the floor.

I was always in charge I didn’t expect Lucy and Helen to embarrass me in public. Boswell, who was
standing next to me, seemed more offended than I was. He said in a soft voice, “Lucy! Helen! Since you
both work in Zhester Technology’s office building, you need to abide by the rules and regulations of
Zhester Technology. As business partners of Zhester Technology, if you can’t even abide by the most
basic rules and regulations of our company, it forces me to question your work ethic.”

“Forget it. Let’s go.” I snubbed their arrogant behavior. Boswell continued to walk alongside me.

“Sometimes, you are too damn tolerant. No one in Zhester Technology can compare with you. Not even
George’s girlfriend.” Boswell was angry and reprimanded them on my behalf. Then he consoled me.

“Jane, don’t take it to heart. George is under tremendous pressure to expand the domestic market. You
see, Lucy then came into the picture and she is lively and open minded. I’m sure it’s just a fling. George
isn’t really serious with her. At the end of the day, he knows clearly which is more important.” I shook my
head with a smile.

“George has changed a lot recently. It seems like his whole world revolves around Lucy.” At first, I also
thought that George was just passing time with Lucy and that he was not serious about her. But today, I



finally realized that George cared very much about Lucy.

His feelings for Lucy might run deeper than I envisaged. In addition, George had been intentionally
avoiding me recently. We only talked about business related matters, nothing personal. I got the strange
feeling that he was trying to keep distance with me. Lucy’s POV: Around lunch time, George suddenly
sent me a message, “Let’s have lunch together.”

This man was so funny. He didn’t dare to invite Helen directly, so he used me as an excuse. I took a look
at Helen and felt a little awkward. Helen was angry with George because of Jane, and she wanted to
make a clean break with him. But since he had helped Helen clear her name today, I decided I owed him
one.

After all, I knew that Helen was more than infatuated with George. Holding Helen’s arm, I silently slipped
my phone away and suggested, “I’m so hungry. Let’s go and grab a bite at Zhester Technology’s
canteen.”

I dragged her to the staff canteen of Zhester Technology. When we arrived, George was already sitting in
his exclusive seat and had already ordered for us.

When Helen saw George, she stopped and pulled back, but then she finally followed me. I was the one
to ease the tense atmosphere during our lunch break.

George had his eyes constantly fixed on Helen She responded by lowering her head and didn’t look at
George. In fact, she didn’t say a word while we were waiting to be served. Then at long last she uttered,
“Thank you.”

It sounded reluctant

“You don’t sound sincere,” George replied, but his expression was always calm. Her indifference didn’t
bother him. When all the dishes were served, Helen picked up her fork and began to eat with half interest



George looked at her resignedly.

“I bought you breakfast this morning, but you chose not to eat it. You deserve to be hungry now” Helen
ignored his quip and continued to eat silently. I started eating too. In the eyes of the employees of
Zhester Technology. George was enjoying lunch with me, his girlfriend.

But in fact, I was the real third wheel at this table. I sighed in my heart that I had sacrificed too much for
my best friend. I wished for nothing but her happiness after all. Just then, Jane and Boswell also came to
the staff canteen for lunch. When they saw George. they were drawn to him like bees to honey.

But I felt really unhappy. Why did they have to come and join us at our table? They were so annoying.
Pests! The moment Helen saw Jane, she put down her fork, and she stopped eating. This woman clearly
made my friend lose her appetite. Helen’s face became ashen. Well, it wasn’t surprising that she would
be upset when she saw someone she didn’t like.

However, it seemed that Boswell and Jane didn’t care about our presence at all. They sat next to
George, ignoring us. Jane ate elegantly and calmly. She was wearing a French style shirt, revealing her
beautiful collarbone. Even the outline of her shoulders and neck was gorgeous. She was one classy
woman

I couldn’t help sighing. She was absolutely stunning. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very
fierce and intelligent. She talked to George as if we did not exist. Although their conversation seemed
casual, there was no denying that there was a special relationship between them. It almost felt like she
was rubbing it in our face that she and George went way back

What an awesome woman! If she was not Helen’s sworn enemy, I would have made friends with her.
After all, I always liked to have friends who had beauty and brains.
