CHAPTER 528: CHAPTER 249 WHERE DO YOU GET THE RIGHT TO BE SKYWARD GROUP’S YOUNG MADAM?_3

"Actually, I don’t really know you, but I understand Kay Forrest, which is why I asked you that question."

Nolan Moore nodded lightly with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

In fact, she had rarely seen him smile.

His current smile made Jane Quinlan feel like she had guessed correctly.

"Indeed, some things have happened that created a distance between us.

However, it doesn’t affect my familial love for him."

He didn’t say what those things were, and Jane didn’t ask any further.

In her view, if Nolan wanted to talk about it, he would have told her upfront.

But it was clear she had no intention to discuss it.

So why bother making things awkward for herself.

After the meal, the two of them went back to the office together.

As they approached the lobby of the company, Jane immediately spotted Benjamin Quinlan standing by the elevator entrance.

She ran up from Nolan’s side and patted Benjamin on the shoulder: "Bro, why are you here?"

Benjamin turned around, saw that it was Jane, and frowned: "Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for half a day."

"I stepped out for a bit, what’s up?"

"Your phone has been off these past few days.

Your uncle and aunt couldn’t reach you at all.

They don’t have your brother-in-law’s number, so they got anxious and came here to see you.

Unable to find you, they contacted me."

"Ah?" Jane was surprised: "My phone was... I lost it, and I just got a new SIM card at noon today.

Where are mom and dad now?"

"There’s a girl named Daisy Zenith in your company who said she’s your good friend.

She took your uncle and aunt upstairs to wait for you."

Jane turned to look at Nolan Moore, who was standing two meters away, with an unfriendly gaze.

It was all this guy’s fault. If he hadn’t broken her phone that day, none of this would have happened.

She turned around, pressed the elevator button, and went up with Benjamin and Nolan.

Daisy Zenith took Ms. and Mr. Quinlan into the rest room.

When Jane rushed in, the old couple were drinking tea: "Dad, Mom."

Seeing Jane, her mother put down her teacup and came forward: "Jane, my child, why didn’t you keep your phone on? We thought something happened to you, it scared your dad and me to death."

Jane hugged her mother: "I lost my phone, I just went to replace the SIM card."

"The key point is we couldn’t contact Kay either, so we had no choice but to come here ourselves.

After arriving, we got in touch with your cousin, who took leave to pick us up from the high-speed rail station and brought us here."

Jane nodded: "I know, my cousin just told me.

Well, since you’re here, why don’t you stay for a few days.

I’ll ask for leave in a bit and take you to where I live."

"Is that okay? We don’t want to get in the way of your work.

Seeing that you’re alright, we can leave."

Mr. Quinlan didn’t actually want to stay; he didn’t know anybody here, and it was very inconvenient.

"No problem, I’ll just ask for leave."

Jane said, turning to Daisy Zenith: "Daisy, this is my cousin, Benjamin Quinlan.

Could you please make a cup of tea for my cousin? I’m going to ask Director Moore for some time off."

"Sure, go ahead," Daisy blushed a little when she looked at Benjamin.

Jane went to the door of Nolan Moore’s office, knocked, and then entered.

Nolan was looking at some documents. Seeing her enter, he raised an eyebrow: "Taking leave?"

"Director Moore, you would grant me this leave, right?

If it wasn’t for you breaking my phone, my parents wouldn’t have had to come here worrying about me."

Nolan nodded: "Take the afternoon off."

"I want to ask for three days off. It’s the first time my parents have come to look for me here.

I want to take some time off to show them around Nolan City."

Jane felt somewhat uneasy asking for this leave.

Because she felt that with Nolan’s character, he might not agree to give her such a long time off.

But unexpectedly... he agreed.

"The newspaper isn’t making a profit anyway, and having you here just means paying more salary.

If you want to take leave, go ahead.

But those days won’t be paid."

"Okay," Jane nodded happily: "Thank you, Director Moore."

"Don’t mention thanks, I don’t want you to keep blaming me every time this issue comes up."

Jane pursed her lips: "Can I take my parents and leave now then?"

"Go ahead."

Jumping with joy in her heart, Jane turned and left.

Watching her close the door, a flicker of envy passed through Nolan’s eyes.

Having parents who love and worry about you felt like this.

If you can’t be reached, your parents will worry and rush to different places to find you.

Unfortunately, this was an emotion he had never experienced.

Jane stopped at the doorway of the pantry excitedly stomping her foot: "Director Moore granted me the leave."
