Jean Jordan felt a strange sense of confusion. Earlier that afternoon, Hayley Khan had come looking for Cedric Brown, which had already surprised her. She thought they were just going out for fun, maybe to grab a bite or take a stroll.

But now, seeing Cedric in the plaza left her baffled. What was he doing here? Even more puzzling was Hayley Khan! As an undergraduate, it wasn’t unusual for her to be at the plaza, given that it was a place for food and entertainment. But seeing a student sitting in the manager's office was another story entirely.

When did Hayley become a manager? How did she land that position?

These questions swirled in Jean's mind, especially since Hayley had come to find Cedric that afternoon and brought him to the manager's office. What was their relationship?

Of course, Jean didn't think they were dating; they had barely known each other until recently.

Cedric Brown felt a wave of panic wash over him as he noticed the growing confusion and curiosity on Jean's face

  • Chapter 44: THE OFFICIAL IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE!

    Cedric Brown was genuinely surprised. Susan Anderson had never told him where she worked part-time, and he had assumed she was at a restaurant far away, not wanting to bother him. But he never expected that she was working at a restaurant right in his plaza. This realization struck Cedric deeply.Susan was already a pure beauty with her cute bun hairstyle, and seeing her in the restaurant uniform made Cedric even more astonished. He hadn’t realized she had such a great figure!Jean Jordan was also taken aback. Susan was one of her students, and she knew that Susan came from a difficult family background and had been working part-time. Noticing Susan's tired expression, it seemed like she hadn’t even had a chance to eat. Jean felt a pang of sympathy for this responsible girl.When Susan saw Jean, she was delighted to see her teacher. However, upon spotting Cedric, she was initially surprised. Then it dawned on her that Jean must have brought Cedric along for a meal. But when she caught

  • Chapter 43: WHERE IS YOUR BOSS?

    Cedric Brown was taken aback. Jean Jordan wanted his "personal phone number"? How was he supposed to give that? His own number?Seeing Cedric's confusion, Jean quickly added, "I just need to call your boss to ask a few questions. I won't be a bother.""Well, I can't really give that out. I'm just here to help Hayley Khan, and if my boss gets upset, that's fine for me, but I wouldn't want to drag Hayley into it," Cedric replied cautiously.He honestly had no idea whose number to give."Alright then."Jean looked disappointed but didn’t press the issue further. "You can get back to work. I’ll head up to the office.""Since I have some free time, I’ll go up and take a look too," Cedric said. It was true; Jean's company had been running for a few years, and he had only visited a handful of times—mostly when it first opened to help out."Don't you need to focus on your work? Hayley Khan sent you here, after all," Jean said, not wanting Cedric to make a bad impression on Hayley right off th

  • Chapter 41: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

    Cedric Brown was taken aback by Hayley Khan's words and instinctively asked, "You are...?""I'm here because Uncle Henry recommended me," Hayley Khan replied softly.Uncle Henry? That must be Henry Walker, the owner of the plaza. When Cedric signed the contract, he had asked Henry to help find someone, and it turned out to be Hayley Khan.Cedric felt a mix of amusement and concern.The plaza wasn't too big, but it needed capable management. What Cedric really needed was a skilled manager, not just a pretty face.Hayley Khan was still months away from graduation and had no work experience. How could she possibly take on a managerial role?Cedric sighed internally."I know I haven't graduated yet, and you're probably not satisfied with me, but could you give me three minutes to introduce myself?" Hayley Khan said earnestly, her tone sincere.This was making the other classmates envious and a bit jealous!What was Hayley Khan doing?Tiffany was completely stunned. Although she couldn't h

  • Chapter 40: I'LL BE YOUR MANAGER.

    Cedric Brown wasn't a naive young man anymore; he understood exactly what Lisa Young was implying—she wanted to spend the night at his place!With a man and a woman alone together, it was easy to guess what might happen. Although Cedric had never tried it, he was definitely curious.However, Lisa had a great figure and was quite tempting, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Jean Jordan, his wife. It felt wrong to approach Lisa with that mindset, as if he were looking for a substitute for Jean.Besides, Cedric didn't have any special feelings for Lisa at the moment. If he took her home tonight, it would just be a night of indulgence, and the next day they would go back to their separate lives. He wondered if Lisa could accept that.As Cedric was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the car. Seeing that it was Jean Jordan calling, he quickly dismissed his earlier thoughts.It was his "wife checking in" moment.Cedric didn't answer because his phone was

    Winona Anderson dialed Tiffany's number, but Tiffany didn’t pick up. She must not have heard it.Winona was anxious. "What is Tiffany doing? Why isn't she answering her phone?""Just call her again! We finally have a chance to teach that guy a lesson. He embarrassed us last time!" Winona's boyfriend, Simon Blake, urged."Yeah, I know!"Winona nodded and immediately called Tiffany again, but still no answer. This opportunity was too rare to miss, so she kept trying to reach her."This restaurant isn't cheap. How much did that guy actually pick up?" Simon wondered.Last time, Tiffany mentioned it was around twenty thousand, but they had already spent over ten thousand. How could there still be money left to come to a place like this?"How would I know? But Cedric Brown looks a bit more handsome this time. I almost didn't recognize him!" Winona said curiously.Hearing his girlfriend compliment someone else made Simon unhappy. "Hey, are you crushing on him?"Cedric Brown handsome? He just
