A One Night Stand With My Boss

Chapter 76

Connor waved his hand with a smile and said, “No worries. If they can be poached, my company doesn’t really need them.” He raised his glass of red wine, smiling slightly, “Here’s to us making it big in the robotics industry.”

Jaiden awkwardly lifted his glass and took a sip. Lauren elegantly placed a shrimp into his bowl. A cold glare shot towards Jaiden as she mouthed the word “useless.”

Lauren was the heiress to a major media conglomerate, and she had been in a long–term relationship with Gavin, the scion of a film production company.

Soon after, Lauren and Jaiden had a lavish wedding. Lauren was dressed stunningly, but her smile was clearly forced.
