Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 28: Mystery Woman

After Jennifer left, James returned with a proposal in hand.

"Mr. Hans, this is the project plan for the next six months. The department has revised it according to

your request at the meeting last time. If there is no problem, please sign it, and then they will carry out

the project in this direction."

"Well, have you read it? Is there any problem?"

"No problem, but you should take another look..."

Hans directly turned to the last page and signed his name. "As long as you think it's fine, just leave it to

them."

James had always been by his side since he first entered the company. If he could not trust James on

this, then there was really no one he could trust around him.

"Alright." Hans closed the contract and handed the black file to James who was on the other side of the

desk. "Give it to them."

James took it with a hesitant look, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Mr. Hans, have you read today's news?"

Hans was puzzled. This was the first time James asked such a question, "Why?"

He didn't like to read the news from his mobile phone. Every day, Jennifer would organize the

newspaper and send it in. He glanced at the spot where the newspaper usually sat and frowned. His

tone grew cold. "I think Jennifer is eager to get fired. When you go out, remind her to do her job."

There was a strange look that flashed past James's face but he did not dare to say anything.

He had been with Hans for a long time and he knew a little about the relationship between Hans and

Jennifer. However, Hans's attitude towards Jennifer was so unpredictable. In front of others, he always

treated her coldly, but he always secretly looked after her behind her back.

He didn't know how much Hans knew about what happened today.

James debated internally before he decided to silently walk out with the folder. Whether Hans knew

about the news or not, it had nothing to do with him. He'd better not get muddled up in this mess.

When he passed by the secretary office, he reminded Jennifer to send in today's entertainment and

finance papers into Hans's office.

Jennifer looked busy, her face turned pale when she realized her mistake. "I really forgot, did... he say

anything?"

James gave her a comforting smile and said, "He didn't say anything. He just asked me to remind you.

I think Mr. Hans is in a good mood today, so just quickly send it in."

Jennifer nodded hurriedly, picked up a pile of newspapers on the sofa opposite the desk, and walked

out of the secretary office. When she was at the door of the president's office, she suddenly

remembered something and turned to the break room to make a cup of coffee, no sugar, with a splash

of milk. Then she took the newspaper in one hand and knocked on the door with the coffee in the other

hand.

"Come in."

"Mr. Hans, the coffee you asked for and today's newspaper."

"Alright."

Hans didn't even raise his head. He was just scribbling on a piece of paper with his Parker fountain

pen.

Jennifer put the coffee beside him and the newspaper on the newspaper shelf within his reach. Then

she slightly bowed to him in front of the desk and turned to the door.

The moment she turned around, Hans raised his head and saw the steaming coffee, it was rich and

fragrant, just as he remembered it. He picked up the newspapers, threw the entertainment paper to the

side, and flipped directly to the finance paper to check the stock market...

Although he was in the entertainment business, he was not interested in gossips at all. This news was

not important to him. If there was anything crucial, his assistant would report it to him, and the

company's public relations and publicity department would handle the issues well. He only needed to

worry about the company's yearly plan and the financial report.

His indifference towards the entertainment news was the reason why he could barely name a few

celebrities in his company.

He just glanced at the cover of the entertainment paper from the corner of his eye and quickly returned

to the ups and downs of the stock market on the finance paper. He stopped for a second before he

slowly looked up towards the colourful cover of the entertainment paper.

There was a piece of explosive news that day.

"Jackson held mystery woman at concert, woman turned out to be the lover of an entertainment

tycoon."

Although the news did not name names, Hans could recognize the woman in Jackson's arms with his

eyes closed.

"Jennifer, you really are something else!" Hans thought.

Hans clenched the corners of the newspaper, wrinkled it up, and ruthlessly threw it into the trash can.

The newspaper unravelled a little, revealing their faces wrinkled and twisted in the newspaper.

The whole morning, Hans did not pick on Jennifer like he usually did.

In the afternoon, Joy Group's most famous celebrity, Monica, who was also a frequent visitor to the

president's office, showed up with her hips swaying side to side. She passed by the secretary's office

with her curly brown hair on one side of her shoulder. She knocked on the glass door of the secretary's

office with her newly done red nails. Her makeup was exquisite and she spoke with a tone that seemed

deliberate.

"Secretary Jennifer, is Mr. Hans here?"

Jennifer was a little surprised. Monica never greeted her before and always walked into the office like

she owned the place. Today must be Jennifer's lucky day since Monica actually acknowledged her.

"Miss Monica, you came at the wrong time. Mr. Hans just went to a meeting downstairs. He would

probably not be back for another half an hour."

"Alright, I'll just wait here."

Monica walked into the secretary's office in twelve-centimetre knee-length boots. Her bright red cloak

was particularly eye-catching. Inside was a white knitted shirt, revealing a part of her wrist. She wore

the latest Cartier bracelet and also rings on her middle fingers. She looked fabulous.

As soon as she entered the office, the entire secretary office was filled with her strong perfume smell.

"Miss Monica, you can wait in the president's office. I don't have enough heating here, and it is not as

well-ventilated as the president's office."

The weather in late autumn started to cool down gradually. The heater was turned on for the whole

building, but Jennifer was afraid that she would catch a cold at home at night, so the temperature in her

office was always similar to outside.

Monica sat on the sofa without asking like she owned the place. "No rush. I think you are not busy

either. Why don't we talk for a while?"

Jennifer was somewhat repulsed by Monica. Everyone knew that Monica was determined to marry

Hans. Since she could go in and out of the president's office freely, not only was she always mentioned

in the gossips with Hans, but the whole company had also regarded her as the future Mrs. Millers.

There was a reason why she acted like she owned the place.

"Miss Monica, do as you please then. I have something to deal with so I can't entertain you."

Jennifer smiled faintly and averted her gaze from her.
