Chapter 2488: Singing Companions, Chatting Partners, Drinking Mates

Will Caddel is very down-to-earth. Although he’s the Deputy General Manager, he’s younger than the other men here.

Jasmine Yale didn’t expect him to smoke. She glanced at him a few times under the hazy lights.

The private room was filled with various scents—cigarettes, red wine, perfume... all mingling, giving off a dreamy feeling.

Will Caddel smoked silently, watching them play.

People chatted him up, and he would say a few words, appearing calm and composed, even speaking leisurely.

A man was singing, and his voice was pretty good. Jasmine Yale rested her head on her hand, humming softly while watching the screen.

The room was noisy, and only she could hear her own voice.

Jasmine Yale wasn’t familiar with the others, nor was she used to initiating conversations, so she just sat alone on the sofa. Even though Will Caddel was next to her, she didn’t know what to say to him.

Manager Quinto was carrying a wine bottle around, pouring wine for everyone, enjoying himself.

The people from Sam Group even invited a few alluring Little Princesses to liven things up.

The KTV Little Princesses were good singers and pretty, wearing skimpy outfits despite the cold winter.

The Little Princesses sang, chatted, and drank with everyone, having a great time.

Will Caddel smoked one cigarette, then stopped and played with his lighter, turning to look at Jasmine Yale: "Why aren’t you playing with those female colleagues?"

"Not familiar yet, I warm up slowly." Jasmine Yale smiled sheepishly.

"Oh." Will Caddel said, "You’ll come across many such occasions in the future. The more you socialize, the more familiar you’ll get. The Marketing Department is like this, lots of external activities, you need to adapt."

"I know, I’m slowly adapting."

"Been half a month, do you like this job?"

"It’s great, I really like it. Manager Quinto takes good care of me."

"He’s quite a character." Will Caddel laughed. "When he’s nice, he’ll damn near wait on you hand and foot. But if he gets mad, don’t take it to heart or cry secretly."

Jasmine Yale laughed: "I won’t cry, I’m grown up now."

"If something comes up, just find him. He’ll help you solve it. What he can’t solve, you come to me."

"CEO Caddel, you’re too kind."

"No need to be so formal with me, KTV is a place to relax, just chill."

"Okay."

"Drank a lot tonight? Did anyone give you a hard time?"

"No, I’m not the main player, don’t stand out."

Will Caddel chuckled, saying no more.

On the table was a poured glass of red wine. He picked up the glass and took a sip.

A flamboyantly dressed Little Princess swayed over, sitting beside Will Caddel, cooing: "Boss, want me to feed you wine?"

Will Caddel smiled awkwardly, pointing at Manager Quinto: "He asked you to come over?"

"Yep, boss, you’re so smart, nothing escapes you."

Will Caddel pulled a few US Dollar bills from his wallet for her: "Here you go, don’t come over."

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." The Little Princess grinned widely, delighted, and swayed off happily.

Jasmine Yale watched her, dazed, remembering the bathroom incident tonight and how Sylvan Cheney would often give her money.

Jasmine Yale frowned, suddenly uncomfortable, grabbing another glass of red wine from the table.

She tipped her head back and took a big gulp.

The red wine tasted good, and even though she wasn’t used to drinking, she didn’t mind it.
