DreameNovelChapter 376:
Kristopher’s office was the epitof modern minimalism, painted in shades of deep gray. It was sparsely
decorated, with even the furniture, like the sofa, featuring stark, angular lines. The atmosphere seemed to
becslightly more inviting as Carrie and Camille stepped in.
Kristopher headed to the lounge area and set down the bag of food on the sleek black table. Carrie remained
silent. She bent over to unpack the bag, her eyes briefly catching on a line of elegant thermal containers nearby.
Noticing her glance, Kristopher explained, “Lise sent those.”
Camille was poised to make a snide remark to Kristopher but paused when she saw the contents Carrie was
handling and decided against it. She quietly took a seat on the sofa behind Carrie, trying to make her presence

Carrie experienced a twinge of unease but maintained a casual tone. “So, should we eat this? | can serve it.”
Kristopher, feeling unexpectedly guilty, threw his suit jacket onto the sofa and said awkwardly, “I didn’t request
those from her.”
Previously, he had never felt the need to justify such things, deeming them too insignificant for explanation. Yet,
he now acknowledged that he had often been thoughtless regarding matters involving women.
“Mrs. Norris, Mr. Norris was just about to have the kitchen prepare something light to eat,” Oliver interjected as
he entered, smoothly picking up the thread of the conversation. He gave Kristopher an approving look, pleased
to see him adapting to his role as a considerate husband.
Suddenly recalling another matter, Oliver quickly added, “Also, Mr. Norris, Mrs. Norris, the receptionist has
completed her ten laps. I've directed her to HR to initiate her resignation.”

Camille leaned forward, her tone filled with concern. “What if she goes online and accuses Carrie of bullying
her?”
Oliver chuckled, reassured, and said, “You're overthinking it, Miss Nixon. If she hopes to maintain a respectable
position in Orkset, she wouldn't dare stir up trouble like that.”
The message was clear: if the receptionist caused any trouble, Kristopher had the power to end her career.

Carrie interjected, “Camille and | haven't eaten yet. The food | brought isn’t enough for all three of us, so we'll
keep these.”
Kristopher frowned. “You can order anything you like.”
Carrie dismissed his suggestion, settling next to Camille and unpacking a bag. “Why spend more and waste
food? This is already ready to eat.”
She handed Camille a container. “Here, you love lobster.” As she sorted through the rest, she picked a container
for herself. “Ill take the crab roe noodles.”
Turning to Kristopher, she suggested, “The steak looks good. Do you want it?”
