After staying there for a while, Fielding Taylor suddenly came up and asked as he looked at Alger, “Brother, do you want to walk around?”

Alger saw that someone was finally willing to talk to him, so he was certainly willing to hang out with Fielding Taylor. He could also ask Fielding Taylor why they didn’t like him.

Alger nodded and said, “Sure!”

The two of them walked around the Enbrel Corporation. When Alger felt like he was a bit closer to Fielding Taylor, he looked at Fielding Taylor with a smile and asked, “I don’t know if I’m hallucinating, but I feel like they don’t seem to like me?”

“You’re not hallucinating. I didn’t like you either when I first saw you,” Fielding Taylor said directly.

Alger was a bit surprised and he asked in confusion, “Why?”

“You’ve just got here, so you may not know the situation in the company. I heard that someone’s already trying to acquire our company. Because of this, the management personnel seem to be thinking about laying off employees.”

Fielding Taylor looked at Alger and explained, “During such a nervous time, everyone’s worried if they would be fired in their minds. In the midst of this, they saw Nadia take you to the HR department. What would you think if you were them?”

Alger frowned and said as he nodded, “I understand. You’re worried that you would be fired because of me?”

“Yes, that’s why they don’t like you.” Fielding Taylor said directly without hiding anything.

Alger was a bit speechless after hearing that, but he could also understand how everyone felt. After all, Alger’s arrival meant that one of them might be getting fired.

During this nervous time, it was impossible that the company was hiring. They knew that Alger definitely got in by personal relations, so they wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in their minds on Alger.

Alger smiled and said, “Don’t worry. If things go smoothly, I’ll probably be out of here very soon.”

“Really?”

Fielding Taylor was a bit surprised. He looked at Alger curiously and asked, “Then, what did you come to this company for? For inspection?”

Thinking of this, Fielding Taylor wanted to fawn on Alger. He looked at Alger and said, “Right, let me remind you. You better not talk to Dana too much.”

Alger was startled. He said, “You mean Dana Edward?”

“Right, her,” Fielding Taylor nodded and said.

“Why?” Alger didn’t get it. He thought that Dana Edward was an enthusiastic girl and his first impression of her was pretty good.

“You have no idea. Browning Adams likes Dana Edward, so he doesn’t allow anyone to get close to her. If you talk to Dana Edward, he’ll give you a hard time in the future.” Fielding Taylor looked at Alger and said.

“Browning Adams?” Alger frowned and asked, “Who’s that?”

“Him, he has a different identity and status. The department manager of the company is his dad, so people here dare not to offend him.” Fielding Taylor explained, “Besides, he’s a bit unforgiving. Guys who were close to Dana Edward all didn’t end well in the end.

“Anyway, I suggest you not to interact with Dana Edward too much. If Browning Adams knows about this in the future, he’ll find trouble with you!”

After hearing that, Alger nodded and said, “Okay, thank you. I got it!”

Alger came to this company to find out who the CEO behind the Enbrel Corporation was. He didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

So, he must be a bit more careful in the company and not be involved with Dana Edward too much from now on.

“Alright, I’ve told you so much. I should go back to work. You just walk around here.” Fielding Taylor said to Alger, then turned around and left.

After Fielding Taylor left, Alger got out of the Enbrel Corporation, trying to take a look around and grab something to eat.

When he passed by the parking lot of the Enbrel Corporation, he saw two people wearing black face masks on their heads robbing a woman.

The back of this woman seemed very familiar. She was Dana Edward that Fielding Taylor talked about just now!

Seeing this scene, Alger frowned and subconsciously wanted to go forward to help.

However, when he saw the body sizes of the two robbers, he was a bit hesitant.

After all, he couldn’t beat those people who were 1.8m tall. Besides, he better lay low in this place. After ruminating about it, Alger thought it was better to play smart.

With this in mind, Alger shouted at those two robbers, “Hey, the cops are here! Run!”

After hearing this, the two robbers indeed panicked, and they wanted to run with Dana Edward’s bag.

When they ran past Alger, he reached his hand out and snatched the bag back quickly and precisely when the two of them weren’t paying attention.

The robbers never thought that someone would be ambushing them at the corner. Although they were unwilling to give up, they still ran away quickly, thinking that the cops were on their way.

Alger was relieved. He held Dana Edward’s bag and was about to give it back to her when he suddenly remembered what Fielding Taylor said to him about not getting too involved with Dana Edward. After pondering for a while, he put Dana Edward’s bag in the corner.

He didn’t walk out directly, but only said, “Those two robbers are already gone. I’ll put your bag here.”

When he saw Dana Edward walking in this direction, he quickly hid in a corner.

Hearing these words, Dana Edward quickly ran over to this side. When she saw that her bag was indeed put on the ground, she was finally relieved.

Thinking of the voice she heard just now, Dana Edward found it very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere…

That sounded a bit like Alger, her new colleague!

So, Dana Edward looked at the surroundings and asked, “Alger, are you the person who helped me just now?”

A hint of blush appeared on Dana Edward’s face. In that critical situation just now, Dana Edward was so scared that her face turned a bit pale. At that time, she deeply hoped that someone could show up and save her.

She had never thought that someone like this would suddenly appear. Even though Dana Edward didn’t see who that person was, she could subconsciously picture Alger’s tall and handsome face by just hearing the voice.

However, since Dana Edward didn’t see with her own eyes that the person was Alger, she was a bit doubtful in her mind.

She could only ask Alger if that person just then was him or not when she went to work in the afternoon.

Alger didn’t go far to begin with, so he had heard what Dana Edward said clearly. After hearing Dana Edward guess that the person just now was him, he was a bit surprised.

Did Dana Edward have such a good memory?

The two of them only talked for a while, but Dana Edward had already remembered Alger’s voice?

Regardless, Alger didn’t care about this. Dana Edward didn’t see him anyway. When asked, Alger could just pretend that he didn’t know anything.

With this in mind, when Dana Edward left with her bag, Alger came out and walked in the direction of the employee residence..
