Chapter 386 Not Everyone Is Interested
When others heard Reese saying, they became even more unhappy.
"Listen to her. She's basically showing off that she's the heiress of the Hawthorne family, telling us not to mess with her. She's truly a selfish woman."
"Let it go, she has the to cause trouble for us, so let's not provoke her."
"Yeah, look at the previous few times. It's because someone offended her. How many people had a good ending?"
"If you want to keep your job, it's better to keep quiet."
"Yeah, I'd better keep my mouth shut. Who knows if the next person leaving the company will be me."
Soon, the noisy voices in the office gradually quieted down.
Sophia handed a coffee to Reese and whispered.
"Don't say anything. Your move really worked, they immediately shut up. Their words are not very pleasant, even a bit irritating."
Sophia couldn't help but chuckle.
Sophia most enjoyed watching Reese deal with these people in the whole office, but she dared not do so herself.
Reese lived the way she wanted.
She took the coffee handed by Sophia. "Thank you."
"No problem, it's just coffee. I see you're not in a good state today, you probably didn't rest well last night."
"It's okay."
Sophia was still curious. She wanted to ask Reese, but she also roughly understood Reese's temperament and didn't dare ask directly, just probing.
"Reese, do you really have any connection with the Hawthorne family?"
Reese was relatively indifferent to others, but she was very grateful to those who had helped her, especially Sophia, who had never harmed her in the company.
Furthermore, Sophia's status as Stephen's daughter was already well-known, and she was no exception.
"Yes, the reports are basically accurate," she replied calmly.
"Do you plan to return to the Hawthorne family?"
Sophia didn't want to ask Reese for help like her colleagues, and she just wanted to know about this disparity.
Previously, Reese had no status in the company and was still just an ordinary employee. Sophia never expected that there was such a powerful figure hidden in the company.
Reese shook her head. "I don't want to go back."
She had no emotional connection with the Hawthorne family. All the people there were strangers to her.
Sophia was somewhat surprised to hear this from Reese.
But she didn't want to ask too much, as it was someone else's private matter.
"Alright, I respect your opinion, but no matter how the Hawthorne family is, the development there is better than here. Maybe you could get a good position at the Hawthorne Group."
Reese smiled without saying a word.
Since the people in the company knew that Reese was the daughter of the Hawthorne family, those few who used to gossip behind her back had stopped, probably because they didn't want to lose their jobs by provoking Reese.
As lunchtime approached, Sophia invited Reese to lunch.
"Reese, do you want to go eat at the new barbecue place across the street? I have a voucher."
After speaking, Sophia quickly realized and hastily corrected herself.
"Sorry, I forgot you might not want to eat anything now."
After all, as the heiress of the Hawthorne family, how could she casually eat out like before?
Sophia still didn't fully understand Reese. Reese wasn't someone who loved wealth and despised poverty. She had also endured a lot since childhood, not much different from them.
"Let's go, my treat."
She knew that Sophia had a seriously ill grandmother to take care of, and the family's situation didn't seem good, which might be why she was often timid in the office.
Sophia looked at Reese in disbelief, not expecting her to go with her and even treat her.
This wasn't like Reese's usual style.
Seeing Sophia's surprise, Reese lightly patted her shoulder. "Let's go, it might get crowded later."
"Okay, let's go."
As the two walked down the steps, Sophia remembered a question.
"Reese, I heard yesterday that Mr. Flynn's wife was also at the event, but our company still doesn't know who she is. You were also there yesterday, did you see her?"
Reese hadn't expected Sophia to suddenly ask such a question.
But for a young girl like Sophia, Reese was good at concealing things. "There were too many people present; I didn't know which one was Mr. Flynn's wife."
Such a response easily convinced Sophia. "You're right."
"Don't worry about who she is. Let's just focus on our work."
Sophia smiled. "You're right."
As the two walked down the steps, there was a luxurious car parked in front of them, and Sophia excitedly grabbed Reese's arm.
"Reese, this is a great car, so expensive."
Reese glanced at the brand of the car, it was indeed expensive, but not that great in terms of performance, its only advantage was its price.
Reese wasn't particularly interested in cars. "There's nothing special about it, let's go."
Sophia was about to cross the street with Reese when someone from the car called out.
"Ms. Brooks."
Reese glanced sideways and saw a middle-aged woman dressed very elegantly in expensive tailored clothes, a typical wealthy woman.
She didn't need to ask who this person was. She could guess.
Clara walked up to Reese and said, "Ms. Brooks, you may not know who I am, so let me introduce myself first. I am..."
"You don't need to introduce yourself, I know who you are and what you want to talk to me about. There's no need to waste words, I won't return to the Hawthorne family. Not everyone is interested in the Hawthorne family."
At least for Reese, the Hawthorne family was nothing in her eyes, not even worth mentioning.
Clara was truly surprised by the boldness of this girl's words. Her whole demeanor exuded pride, with a chilling light in her eyes.
This girl was definitely extraordinary. No wonder she could anger Mr. Flynn to the point of being hospitalized.
Seeing Reese so defiant, Clara felt increasingly uncomfortable.
She crossed her arms, looking like a noblewoman. "Words are just words, right? How do I know if what you're saying is true? Nowadays, some girls speak nicely on the surface but who knows what sneaky things they do behind the scenes."
Before Reese could respond, Sophia couldn't bear it anymore.
"Madam, how can you speak like this? Reese hasn't done anything to provoke you."
