Chapter 5 – She’s Been Chosen
Ops. We’re not going to get caught, are we?
Christine White hurriedly lowered her head and was struggling to hide, but Baird Lane quickly averted her eyes as if she hadn’t seen anything.
Luckily. She heaved a sigh of relief that he hadn’t noticed.
“President Lane, look, here are all the employees of the company, and we are all very excited about President Lane’s arrival.” The executives hurriedly walked over to pander.
Baird Lane responded coldly, not at all interested in these, and led the group of executives behind him into the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, Christine White heard people all around her begin to whisper, all admiring Baird Lane’s looks and demeanor.
Words like “handsome and noble” seemed to belong to him by nature.
Christine White couldn’t care less about gossiping about these things, covering her rapid heartbeat chest, she wanted to leave the place quickly, but was dragged by Debby York who was full of excitement, “Christine, did you see that! The new boss is so handsome, I suddenly want to stay in the company all the time! Oh my god, so handsome!”
“That … is for sure.”
Her lips were trembling slightly as she tried desperately to steady her breathing.
Could she not be aware of how handsome Baird Lane was?
The first glimpse was enough to make her nostalgic for years.
Back then she was a little nobody, all she could think about was Baird Lane and wanting to be closer to him.
When she heard that The Lane Family wanted to choose a suitable wife for Baird Lane, she summoned up the courage to go over for an interview and put her best foot forward to finally become his wife as she wished.
But then I remembered the way Baird Lane had just looked at a stranger, and what he’d said earlier in the car about not wanting a baby, and my heart ached again.
Does he not want a child … or, simply, does he not want her to carry a child?
Christine White sighed and knew in her heart that Baird Lane simply didn’t want onlookers to know that they were husband and wife, so she never mentioned half of it to the public, and she didn’t dare to talk nonsense.
Perhaps, this is their marriage …
…
The company’s executives quickly put the new president’s office in place, and a high-level meeting was to be held that day.
The original executives rubbed their hands together and asked with a flattering face, “President Lane, look, it’s your first day in our company, shouldn’t we also arrange for a new secretary to make it easier for you to get to know our company more fully?”
He said, his deep intent gaze falling on a couple of pretty young female secretaries.
Obviously trying to use a woman to curry favor with his boss!
Christine White was watching from the sidelines, so naturally she could see that face of the executives at a glance.
Is that any different than introducing a woman to Baird Lane?
What’s even more infuriating is that Baird Lane isn’t even trying to say no!
“Good offer from Manager Kent.” Baird Lane stopped and looked back.
There was no extra expression on his face, but it managed to make the apprehensively waiting female secretaries around him blush and look at him with a shy face, expecting to be chosen.
“Just that one.”
Baird Lane raises his chin and nods at someone seemingly at random.
The female secretary standing over there instantly revealed a smile and took a step forward with a scarlet face.
“President Lane, you have a good eye! Although Secretary Marry is a new employee who just arrived this year, she is exceptionally good at what she does.” Manager Kent took advantage of the opportunity and opened his mouth to flatter.
Baird Lane frowned, “I’m talking about the person next to her.”
“Next to her?”
Manager Kent looked over in surprise just in time to see Christine White trying to back away with her head down.
Baird Lane had said he didn’t want to expose their relationship, so naturally Christine White had to go along with him, just not realizing that all eyes were suddenly on her.
“This … President Lane, the person you’re talking about is Christine White?” said a surprised Manager Kent.
“Me?” Christine White looked up in shock as the people in the hallway all looked at her.
There was surprise, deep thought, and contempt!
Debby York, standing beside her, didn’t expect her best friend to be instantly chosen by her new boss!
“Christine!” she whispered as she yanked down hard on Christine White’s hand, “President Lane picked you, you hear me! Really picked you!”
“I hear you.” Christine White endured the pain and pulled her hand out, she wasn’t deaf, so naturally she could hear it.
“President Lane, are you sure you want Christine White as your secretary?”
Manager Kent looked disbelieving and asked again stiffly.
He has been in the company for so long, naturally he knows who Christine White is, this woman is not understanding at all, how can he ask her to be a secretary?
