Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 585

When Zoey returned to the HR Department, she saw Damian Worthington and Mandy Reed standing at her office door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Worthington, Ms. Reed," Zoey greeted them calmly.

Damian, the CEO of 10KFresh, was a thin elderly man in his 60s, dressed in a gray suit and trench coat.

Mandy, Zoey's superior, was a competent career woman in her 40s. She was dressed in a stylish winter outfit that conveyed elegance and sophistication.

"Zoey, have you prepared the documents I requested?" Mandy asked, smiling.

"Yes, Ms. Reed. I'll get them for you right away.'

Zoey entered her office, retrieved some documents from her desk drawer, and quickly returned to Damian and Mandy.

Mandy took the document and skimmed through them.

"Who's Howard Lawson?" she asked, puzzled.

Zoey explained, 'Howard is an employee at Storehouse 8, where we handle the goods delivery for Maple Hill. Since the shipment is larger than usual this time, we brought in an additional warehouse manager to assist with unloading.'

Mandy continued to review Howard's file, her brows furrowing.

"He had a history of mental health issues?"

With a sympathetic expression, Zoey responded, "Howard's situation is quite unfortunate. His parents are both teachers, and he has been an exemplary student from a young age. However, just before the SATs, he developed a neurological condition.

"Fortunately, his aunt took him abroad for treatment, and he was cured. However, he isn't as sharp as he used to be after his recovery. It's difficult for him to learn new skills, which is why he was sent to Yorksle to find a job."

Mandy sighed after hearing Howard's story.

"Poor thing. He's almost the same age as my son!"

After finishing reviewing Howard's file, Mandy handed it to Damian and asked, "Mr. Worthingon, would you like to take a look?"

Damian replied casually, "No. As long as you don't see anything wrong, I'm fine with it."

Damian had poached Mandy from another company and had worked for her for over 20 years. Thus, she had his complete trust.

"Alright. Let's meet them now. Zoey, please come with us.'

"Yes, Ms. Reed."

Half an hour later, the representative from Golden Happiness Group sat in Meeting Room 1, reviewing the delivery personnel's documents.

The representative was a woman around Mandy's age. She sat expressionlessly in the chairman's seat, her presence intimidating Mandy, Damian, and Zoey. A secretary with a cold and distant demeanor stood behind herExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Zoey glanced at the woman's badge, which read: Janet Dalton, Employee ID 0038, Director of the Supervisory Department.

Zoey immediately tensed up. She didn't expect Janet, a veteran at Golden Happiness Group, to be present. No

wonder she had such a commanding presence.

Still, Zoey wondered why the supervisory department was involved. They were responsible for overseeing all departments within the company, so their authority was immense.

Zoey couldn't help but worry that Janet would notice something amiss. If Carlisle's cover were exposed, Zoey's future would be in serious jeopardy.

The thought made Zoey involuntarily swallow hard.

Noticing Zoey's subtle reaction, Janet observed her for a moment with an icy gaze.

"You seem nervous," Janet remarked.

Not daring to meet Janet's eyes, Zoey lowered her head and replied, "Your formidable presence is making me nervous, Ms. Dalton."

Rather than making up excuses, Zoey admitted her anxiety but turned it into flattery.

Janet's eyes narrowed.

"Is that so?"

Janet's gaze sent a shiver down Zoey's spine, causing her eyelashes to tremble uncontrollably.

Zoey questioned if Janet had spotted something amiss in the document.

Suddenly, Mandy chuckled and added, "Ms. Dalton certainly has a commanding presence. Even with my years

of experience, I find it quite intimidating, let alone someone as young as Zoey."

"Enough with the flattery,' Janet responded, continuing to review the documents.

Although her face remained impassive, she was pleased with their comments. Their fear reflected her authority.

After a while, Janet noticed Howard's history of mental health issues. Instead of raising questions immediately, she quietly finished reviewing all the documents.

Once she was done, she requested, 'Please ask Howard Lawson to come here'

Zoey promptly called Janice, the storehouse team leader.

"Ms. Holland, please bring Howard to Meeting Room 1."
