CHAPTER 682: CHAPTER 682: SHE TOOK THE INITIATIVE

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Hailey Hale sighed lightly, sorted out the documents in her hand, and said, "President Lane, I need to go out for a while, probably about ten minutes."

"Go ahead." Mia Lane responded promptly without asking for a reason. Her fair and beautiful fingers tapped on the keyboard as she worked on a report.

Barbara Sutton watched as Hailey Hale got up and left.

Soon, Finn Morgan came by to deliver some documents, and Barbara deliberately glanced at him a few times.

He was strikingly handsome, tall, and slender, with a face that was as chiseled and attractive as ever.

And he seemed to be in a good mood today.

But Finn Morgan didn’t look at Barbara, nor did he even notice her presence. There was no eye contact between them.

After finishing his work with Mia Lane, he noticed the empty desk nearby, "President Lane, where’s Hailey?"

"Do you need something from her?" Mia asked.

Finn replied gently, "I made an appointment with a client today. Some documents need to be settled in person, so I planned to take her with me. I thought she’d be here, so I didn’t give her a heads-up."

Upon hearing this, Barbara felt a surge of urgency and stood up, raising her hand, volunteering enthusiastically, "Special Assistant Morgan, she went out. I’ll go with you!!"

Only then did Finn turn his eyes to look at her, "..."

"That’s fine." Mia didn’t think too much about it, "I don’t have anything urgent for her here." Since she didn’t try to guess Finn’s thoughts.

After two seconds, Finn nodded, "Ok, then get ready, we’ll head out immediately."

"Great!" Barbara was particularly delighted.

After Finn left, he headed to the president’s office.

Mia observed Barbara’s cheerful expression and couldn’t help but speculate internally, does she like Finn?

When she volunteered earlier, wasn’t it out of a sense of duty, but rather a bit of a personal motive?

But thinking about it, for a man as exceptional as Finn Morgan, after working with him for a long time, how many women wouldn’t like him?

He’s calm and stable, young and handsome, with very distinct insights. Even Justin Kingston admires his ability to assess situations.

Barbara quickly got ready. After bidding farewell to President Lane, she headed to the entrance of the president’s office.

Watching Finn take a few sips of banana milk, she felt sweet inside, and her lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

Then Finn came out with the documents, "Let’s go."

"Mm!"

The girl suppressed the joy in her heart. Indeed, sometimes you have to take initiative.

In the elevator.

The walls were as bright as a mirror, reflecting the images of Barbara and Finn, standing not too close nor too far apart.

This was the first time Finn looked directly at her, even if it was through a reflection. She looked different today, wearing high heels, and her dress fit her well. Not only was the style great, but the design was simply just right.

Noticing he’d been looking at her for a while, Barbara became extremely excited and smiled as she asked, "Does it look good?"

Finn snapped back to reality, naturally turning his eyes to her.

Their gazes met.

With a smile, Barbara slightly tilted her head up. Unable to discern any softness in his eyes, she then became embarrassed and quickly explained, "I mean, is the design of this dress good?"

"Quite good." Finn withdrew his gaze, analyzing from a more professional perspective, "I specialize in aesthetics, and actually, your height suits this style, so wearing this to meet the client today was the right choice. I believe they will also appreciate this outfit."

So what he meant was, he appreciated it, right?? He actually used the word ’also’.

Barbara was particularly pleased and decided to only buy this type of clothes in the future. Anyway, she had money in her account!

As long as the guy she likes feels comfortable looking at her, that’s enough!

"Special Assistant Morgan, are we going to a club? Or driving somewhere far away?" Barbara hoped to go on a business trip with him for a few days!

Sitting in the front passenger seat of his car would be an honor as well.

Ding, the elevator stopped.

Finn walked out of the elevator as he said, "Not far, just to the café across the street. We can walk over."
