BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 - 117: The Company Was Acquired?
The moment she stepped into the office building and hadn’t even put down her bag, a mug appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Tiffany Clifford gazing at her with a gossip-filled face.
“I saw it all.”
“Saw what?” Enna Clark put her bag in a drawer and turned on her computer.
Tiffany leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming. “That guy just now.”
“I saw him driving what looked like a Mercedes-Benz. I couldn’t tell the model, but it must be at least 30 thousand. He’s tall and has a nice figure.”
She had seen Enna coming out of a man’s car on the second floor and thought it was an illusion. But with a closer look, she was sure it was Enna and couldn’t help but peer through the window for a better view.
“Who is that man? He brought you to work early in the morning? Are you living together? Your son didn’t cause a fuss?” Tiffany bombarded her with questions, clearly very curious.
Enna was annoyed by her questions and ignored them, moving Tiffany’s mug and pouring herself a glass of water, before returning to her seat. When she looked up and met Tiffany’s curious eyes, she rubbed her temples and complained helplessly, “That’s a parent from my son Bobby’s kindergarten class. He saw that I didn’t have a car and offered to give me a ride since it was on his way.”
“So you managed to score a ride in a Mercedes-Benz?”
‘ Enna really wanted to reply that back in the day when she had a part-time job, she had also accidentally gotten onto Baron Lawrence’s bed. Compared to sleeping with Lord Lawrence, how could predestination not bring her a ride in a Mercedes – Benz?
Tiffany noticed she wasn’t lying and hesitated for a moment before nudging her with an elbow, “Hey, Enna, I think that man is quite good. Is he married?”
Enna knew what she meant, but she honestly didn’t have any ulterior motives towards Wyndham Howell. So she played dumb and smiled, teasing her, “Why, did you fall in love at first sight?”
After that, she let out a heavy sigh, deliberately exaggerating and kidding, “Oh, my poor Brother Smith, still unaware that his wife is about to run off with someone else- Should I play ‘A Passing Smile’ during this afternoon’s live stream? You hurt me, only to smile and walk away. Your love is brilliant; my love is weak-”
Tiffany’s face turned red from her teasing, and she covered Enna’s mouth and glared at her fiercely, “Stop singing that, you little brat. No more singing!”
No matter how young they are, those who do well in the workplace have good judgment. After Tiffany realized that she wasn’t interested, she didn’t bring up Wyndham Howell again. Instead, she poured half of Enna’s water into her own cup and took a sip. Glancing around at the few people present, she lowered her voice and leaned in close to Enna’s ear, “I’ve got some big news for you.”
“Hmm?”
What kind of news was so significant that the usually calm Sister Tiffany called it a big deal? She was curious. “Our company has been acquired.”
“Acquired?”
Now, Enna was truly puzzled. Their radio station was just a local car radio station with limited reach. Although their performance wasn’t bad, it wasn’t particularly eye-catching either. Additionally, the car radio station industry had many limitations, with advertising revenue being the main source of income. Why would anyone want to acquire their radio station?
“I just found out about it from Cooper in the office. Apparently, the other company wants to integrate all city radio stations into a complete radio entertainment industry chain. Our station is part of their plan. They’re rich and powerful and offered our boss an irresistible sum. They also promised a 10% monthly salary increase and a 5% increase in commission. Cooper said that our boss is so happy these days that he can’t even close his mouth. Ha! I heard he’s been crawling to please the new boss’s mistress, always so busy!”
Tiffany expressed her indignation as she spoke. The “fat fish” she mentioned was their department head for the afternoon shift, who was notorious for his odd, stingy, and mean personality..
