Chapter 286:
“Yeah, I have a friend who interned at his magazine, and he’s really strict. As a newcomer, my friend nearly cried due to his criticism p>
These unfamiliar opinions surprised Jenessa.
In her view, Richard had always been considerate and gentle. How could he be as harsh as they were describing?
Jenessa was still skeptical.
“I think those are just rumors p>
After all, the rumors about her, Sloane Todd, were equally odd and didn’t reflect her true nature at all.
Jenessa’s colleagues didn’t linger on the subject for long. Their current priority was to curry favor with Jenessa and secure Richard’s signatures.
When Jenessa started organizing her office, they eagerly stepped in to assist.
“Sloane, let us help you clean up. Please get us those signatures p>
“I’ll help too p>
Jenessa chuckled, realizing Richard’s allure was undeniable. She mentally noted to thank him properly later.
With numerous co-workers pitching in, Jenessa completed her tasks in no time.
“Thank you, everyone. I’ll secure the signatures for you. Just wait for my good news,” Jenessa promised.
“Thank you so much, Sloane. See you later p>

After her farewells, Jenessa departed the office and made her way to the appointed hotel.
Upon her arrival in the hotel lobby, she found the staff in a whirlwind of activity, preparing the venue. The place buzzed with energy and urgency.
Jenessa was stunned. Could it be that Brinley and Richard had planned such an elaborate event for her?
It resembled a wedding rehearsal dinner more than a mere dinner.
The hotel manager, overseeing the hustle, barked orders with a grave expression.
“Hurry up, everyone! Any mistakes and you’ll be in deep trouble! Be careful p>
Then he spotted Jenessa at the entrance.
He gave her a dismissive once-over, quickly judging her as someone insignificant. His expression soured with impatience as he approached Jenessa, his tone dripping with condescension.
“Who are you? Don’t you know this place is fully booked today? Leave now and stop causing trouble p>
He motioned to two staff members to escort Jenessa out.
Jenessa’s frown deepened, repelled by the manager’s rudeness. Striving to maintain her composure, she explained, “I’m here for a meal. My friends have reserved a private room p>
The manager’s sneer grew even more pronounced, convinced Jenessa was lying.
“You? Eating here? Which room? I need to check p>
Realizing she had forgotten to ask Richard and Brinley for the room number, Jenessa hesitated.
She said calmly, “Wait a moment. I’ll contact my friends p>
The manager’s impatience intensified. He was poised to speak further when his attention was captured by a figure approaching from the distance.
