Chapter 401: Please don’t be angry
Demitri stepped out of the interview room, glancing at his watch. It was still lunchtime. Knowing Nora’s usual schedule, he decided to join her for lunch.
Pulling out his phone, he quickly typed a message: "Have you had lunch yet?"
As he made his way toward the elevator, he pressed the button and waited for the doors to open, at the same time, waited for her reply.
The elevator doors slid open, and Demitri stepped inside. A handful of employees occupied the space, but his eyes immediately landed on Nora.
His soft demeanor shift instantly. She was carrying a stack of files, despite it being lunchtime.
Without a word, he took the files from her hands.
"You!?" Nora finally noticed him, her voice hushed in surprise. "Why did you take the files from me?" She reached for them, but he effortlessly kept them out of her grasp.
"Stay quiet," Demitri muttered. He already knew the situation. It was always the same. Her toxic colleagues dumping unnecessary tasks on her, using her as their errand girl. It wasn’t part of her job, yet they treated her like an assistant for their own amusement.
His gaze remained fixed on the digital floor display. As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, he stepped out with files still in hand. Nora hurried after him, matching his stride.
"I’ll carry them, Demitri. You don’t need to do this," she whispered, her tone laced with concern as she glanced around cautiously.
They reached the reception desk, and Demitri set the files down with a decisive thud. He turned to face her, his sharp gaze locking onto hers.
