Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 173 Workplace Veteran
Thanks to the Chase family, Peyton finally got rid of Nolan.
Even though they were in the same company, she, as a sales department employee, couldn’t meet Nolan.
The only regret was that leaving the Secretary’s Office meant she was getting further and further away from those few
secretaries. This went against her original intention of coming to the company.
Peyton could only place all her hopes on Phillip. She hoped that he would be able to find some useful information after he left
this time.
While she was contemplating, she heard a sigh in her ear. “Ah! Why is it me again who has to submit the planning form?”
Peyton turned her head and saw a pair of round, bright eyes. It was Iris Milton, who was also quite enthusiastic.
“What’s wrong, Iris?”
Iris pushed aside the stray hair near her ear, looking helpless. “The planning sheet for this project needs to be submitted. You
know we were already in Group C. We came last month. I don’t even dare to step into the Secretary’s Office. If I run into Mr.
Bryant, I’ll be scared to death.”
“Was Mr. Bryant scary?”
“You are new here, so you don’t know. If Mr. Dalton was the King of Hell, then Mr. Bryant would be his servant. His stern and
impartial demeanor even scared the janitor’s daughter to tears.”
Peyton nodded thoughtfully. “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go. After all, I’m just a newcomer. It doesn’t matter if he scolds me a
couple of times.”
“Wow, Peyton, you are so good. Thank you,” Iris quickly handed the folder to Peyton.
Peyton looked at the folder in her hand. The corners of her mouth
lifted slightly. She was worried about not being able to approach those secretaries.
However, as soon as she left, the colleagues who were just laughing around suddenly changed their expressions.

“I really envy the courage of young people. Another clueless newcomer has arrived. How many newcomers is this for the year?”
Iris crossed her arms and looked disdainful, saying, “You should know that this is the only way to get close to Mr. Dalton. If she
appears in front of Mr. Dalton more often, he might take notice of her. Otherwise, who would be willing to take the risk of being
scolded to do this?”
“Tsk, the previous person had their hand twisted and then was thrown out by Mr. Bryant, right?”
“Should we bet on how many days she would quit?”
“I’ll join too. The person who loses will treat everyone to a meal.”
Peyton went upstairs. She first glanced at the office at the end of the hallway. The door was tightly closed. Only then did she
instinctively breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned around and entered the Secretary’s Office.
Her appearance made the busy few turn their heads towards her at the same time. Jaylah blinked at her. “I heard you went to the
sales department? You don’t like your job?”
“Of course not,” Peyton chuckled. “I just felt that I wasn’t capable of handling this job. I didn’t want to hinder Mr. Dalton’s work.
So, I decided to gain experience in the sales department first.”
“Ah, we finally had a stunning beauty. Unfortunately, you left again.”
Jaylah was very clever. She knew that Peyton’s identity was extraordinary.
Over the years, Peyton was the first secretary to bring meals for Nolan. Peyton would switch between being a secretary and
doing sales. If it weren’t for the management’s instructions, changing positions wouldn’t be so simple.
So she was also willing to please Peyton. “Peyton, you didn’t come here just to chat with us, right? If you need any help, feel free
to ask.”
“Jaylah, this is the planning proposal from our team. Could you please pass it on to Mr. Dalton?”
Jaylah’s eyes shifted. In an instant, she understood. “Alright. Be careful in the sales department. They are all sly old foxes.”
“Thank you, Jaylah.”
Peyton took out the gift that had been prepared long ago. It was a brooch. And the gift for the gentleman was a tie clip.

“I thought I would be working in the Secretary’s Office, so I prepared all the gifts. Please accept them, Jaylah.”
“I just like you being so clever,” Jaylah played with the brooch. “Thanks.”
Peyton distributed the gifts to several other people. Due to her relationship with Nolan, they also dared not refuse to accept
them.
Peyton stood in front of Ariella. She noticed that Ariella had been burying her head in work since she appeared. Ariella hadn’t
looked up at her once.
Even though she approached and placed the box on the table, Ariella didn’t look at her. “Ariella, this is the gift I gave you.”
Ariella looked up and pushed her glasses frames with her hand. She had a serious expression on her face. “Are you here at the
Dalton Group just to waste time on things like this?”
“Oh, Peyton, don’t mind her. That’s just her personality. If she doesn’t want it, you saved yourself some money.”
Jaylah blinked at Peyton. “I will hand over the plan to Mr. Bryant. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, thank you. Then I won’t bother you anymore,” Peyton’s gaze swept over Ariella.
Ariella continued working, seemingly with only work in her eyes.
Jaylah and Ariella had completely opposite personalities. If one of them had a problem, who would it be?
Peyton believed that the fox would not be able to hide its fox tail.
Even if she didn’t take action, the other party couldn’t resist.
She put a tracker in the brooch. This time, she had to take control.
“Bang.”
Peyton was lost in thought. So she never expected there would be someone on this quiet floor. She bumped into someone’s
arms.
A familiar voice sounded above her head. “You were no longer a child.
Can’t you see the way?”

Peyton quickly pulled away from his embrace. She thought Nolan was in the office. Who could have guessed he would suddenly
appear like a ghost?
“Sorry, Mr. Dalton. I had to leave earlier due to some matters.”
Peyton hardly looked at him. She hung her head, apologized, and hurriedly left. She was afraid of being left behind by Nolan.
Peyton ran a few steps to the side of the elevator. Just as the elevator doors opened, Lucian and Jayson walked out from inside.
When thinking about his colleagues in the sales department, Peyton immediately imagined them as minions of the King of Hell.
She found out that they really resembled the subordinates of the King of Hell.
Peyton quickly covered her mouth and entered the elevator.
Nolan didn’t miss the smile at the corner of her mouth. These days, he didn’t look for her. And she was really far away from him,
as if she wanted to completely separate herself from him.
However, he had already noticed Peyton coming up from the
surveillance. So he specifically waited here, hoping to “accidentally” run into her.
Nolan thought, “Peyton saw Lucian and Jayson laughing so happily. Why does she look at me as if she saw a ghost?”
Nolan had a calm expression on his face. “Find out why she came up.”
“Okay, Mr. Dalton.”
Soon, Lucian had an answer. He planned to give it to Nolan.
Nolan glanced at it and threw the proposal away. “Garbage! Get the person in charge here.”
The file “pa” was smashed onto the table, making a loud noise. The janitor who was dusting the bookshelf was startled.
Peyton had just returned to the C team office. The chatter among everyone also came to a halt.
Iris had a big smile on her face. “Peyton, thank you so much.”
“No problem, it’s just a small favor.”

She had just sat down for a short while when Brynn stormed out angrily. “Who sent the plan?”
Without waiting for Peyton to speak, Iris sensed that something was wrong with her ability to read people’s expressions. She
immediately blamed Peyton, saying, “It’s Peyton, she insisted on showing off and going to the Secretary’s Office. Brynn, what’s
going on?”
Brynn glared at Peyton angrily. “What did you say in front of Mr. Dalton? How did he get so angry? He even asked me to go
upstairs for a talk!”
