Boss's Sweet Secretary

Bastain's hand had not yet touched the door when the door opened with a click, a gap appeared between the white door and the door frame, revealing the dim light inside. Jackson stood behind the door in a simple beige pyjama, holding the door handle with one hand and staring at him with a frown.

"What is it?"

Lonely nights were always endless. The wind blew through the windows, making bleak sounds as if someone was singing their pain away. Some were drunk, some sober, and some seemed sober, but they were drunk on the street.

The next morning, Jennifer woke up quietly as Rose had just bought breakfast back. If Rose hadn't sat by the bedside all night and felt very uncomfortable, she wouldn't have gotten up so early in the morning. She also especially went to buy breakfast for Jennifer. As soon as she put down the breakfast, she saw someone with dishevelled hair coming out of the bedroom.

"Hey, this appearance is good enough to apply for a job at the haunted house and they wouldn't even need to put make-up on you."

Rose had always been straightforward, and she did not sleep well last night, so it was normal for her to be a little grumpy now.

There was a full-length mirror in the corner of the living room, which happened to reflect Jennifer's unkempt look. She looked like the ghost from The Ring, except that she came out of the bedroom instead of the TV.

"Last night... I..."

"You called Hans's name all night last night. That was kind of annoying."

Hearing Hans's name, Jennifer's heart sank and her face turned pale. The scene from yesterday afternoon played in her head again. Her fingers trembled and she couldn't help clenching her fists, suppressing the sadness in her heart.

Seeing her sad face, Rose couldn't bear to hurt her again. She took out a cup of coffee and some bread from a bag.

"You should rest for a day if you are not feeling well. I will help you apply for leave when I go to work. Don't mess around. There are some oatmeal and bread on the table. You should eat some before you go back to bed."

Jennifer frowned and looked up at the clock on the wall. It was 7:30 and she still had time to get ready.

"There's no need for that, I'll go to work as usual."

"You were burning up last night, don't force yourself."

Rose rolled her eyes at Jennifer as she changed her shoes at the entrance and kept on nagging.

"I'm not Hans. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me. I have known you for eight years, and I know exactly what you're going to do. I know you're worried about Hans picking a fight with you, but you can't ignore your own well-being. You don't know how to take care of yourself. What's so good about that scumbag?

Speaking of this, she wanted to vent her anger and cursed again. "If I had known this would happen, I would resign directly instead of going to the secretary office. I don't care how much money they offer, this is too frustrating."

When she graduated from university, Jennifer was still close with Hans, so she and Rose went to the Joy Group for internships. Originally, only Jennifer worked as a secretary, and Rose worked in the HR department. Later, when her relationship with Hans turned bad, Rose was transferred to the secretary department for no reason and she replaced an experienced secretary who had been working there for years.

No one knew what Hans was thinking but Jennifer felt like she had dragged Rose into this mess. After all, being a secretary didn't seem like a promising career. She didn't care about herself, but Rose still needed to support herself. After the personnel transfer, she wanted to go to talk to Hans, but she was stopped by Rose.

Hans gave her a high salary to be a secretary. Rose wouldn't be able to earn that much even if she had worked for ten years at her old department. At that time, Rose did not know that the relationship between Hans and Jennifer had deteriorated. She even thought they would get married soon and she benefitted as Jennifer's best friend.

Jennifer stood and hesitantly twisted the lower hem of her pyjamas, which made Rose anxious. "Alright, alright, come and let me check. I will let you go if the fever is gone."

Jennifer was stubborn. If she didn't let her go, she might still tidy herdelf and leave after Rose had left too.

It was better to promise her directly to prevent any trouble.

Rose just came back from the outside, and her hands were a little cold. She rubbed her hand before putting them on her forehead and compared them with herself. She sighed, "You recover fast, are you naturally resilient to torture?"

In the end, she was unable to stop her.

In the Joy Group, Jennifer knocked on the door of the president's office right after she put down her bag in her office.

"Come in." Hans sounded calm as if nothing was wrong.

Jennifer hurried into the office and closed the door. Since she was in a hurry to explain, she did not notice that there was something different in the office today.

In the office, Hans was sitting behind the desk, his black shirt was unbuttoned at the top, showing his solid chest, and his slender fingers tapped on the keyboard. He was strangely calm when he saw Jennifer. However, the calmer he was, the more scared Jennifer became.

"Last night, I..."

"Hans, can I use your towel?"

Before she finished speaking, a soft voice interrupted her. Jennifer was very familiar with this voice.

She turned around and saw a woman in a bathrobe leaning against the bathroom door in Hans's office. The white bathrobe was tied loosely around her waist and her wavy, chestnut colour hair hung on her shoulder. Her delicate face always showed her charm. She was holding a beige towel with her bright red nails and looking at Jennifer's direction delicately. When she saw Jennifer's face, she was stunned for a moment, but it was too sudden and it felt like an act.

"Ayy... Why is there someone here..."

She had been standing at the door of the bathroom for a long time. She had already known that Jennifer came in, but she still acted surprised.

At that moment, Jennifer was not concerned about Monica's pretentiousness, but about what happened between Hans and Monica that made her wear a bathrobe in the office.

"Why are you here?" She asked uncontrollably.

Hearing this, Monica was slightly stunned and she looked at Hans. "Of course it's because Hans needs me, so I'm here."

"This is the office, Miss Monica, pay attention to how you act."

Jennifer felt as if a ball of fire was going to burst out from her chest. She tried to suppress it, but there was no way to calm it down.

"Secretary Jennifer, don't forget your place."

Hans slowly opened his mouth, and his voice was so cold it felt like the dead of winter. Wanting to hurt Jennifer even more, he looked at Monica flirtily and said, "I don't need you to comment on my personal life, do I, Secretary Jennifer?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
