Chapter 29: I Heard You Became a Social Climber.
Monica sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, she looked slender. If Jennifer were a man, she would
not be able to look away.
She looked at Jennifer and asked curiously, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Jennifer's face.
"Miss Monica, I don't think we are close enough to talk about this."
Monica was not angry either. She smiled knowingly. "I used to suspect that... but now I am relieved. It
turns out that you and Jackson are old friends."
Hearing Jackson's name, Jennifer's face froze and she looked at Monica stiffly.
"How did she know?" Jennifer thought.
Looking at her surprised look, Monica tucked back her hair. "You always seemed quite low-key, and
you are distant to the company's staff. I thought you and Hans were... Forget it. Since you have
someone in mind, I will give you my blessing. You are totally a social climber.
The way she only spoke half her mind made Jennifer frown.
"Miss Monica, why don't you make it clear?"
A noise came from the elevator. It seemed like the board meeting had ended. Hans and his assistant
James came back. Monica's expression changed. She stood up from the sofa and gave Jennifer an
ambiguous look. "What? You don't watch the news?"
When Hans came back, he saw Monica come out from the secretary's office. Her bright red cloak
assaulted his vision and her strong perfume scent made him frown.
"Hans... You finally finished the meeting. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hans's looked coldly through the glass door of the secretary office and saw Jennifer standing behind
her desk dejectedly. Their eyes met.
His eyes narrowed. He looked at Monica in displease and said, "Why did you come out from there?"
Monica's joyful expression froze. She was slightly stunned and said cautiously, "I... I saw that you were
not here, so I talked to... Secretary Jennifer."
Hans did not pay attention to her explanation. Instead, he looked into the secretary's office at the adept Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
figure. Jennifer already sat down and continued working on the computer within that short time, as if
the things happening here had nothing to do with her.
A hint of coldness flashed in Hans's eyes. He looked away and caressed Monica's delicate face with
his finger. He tucked her hair and said in a deep voice, "You can come to my office directly in the future.
The ventilation is not good out here."
Monica was overjoyed. Hans was rarely so gentle to her. She boldly held his arm and said, "Since you
care so much about me, I'd have to think about you too. I was worried that people would gossip!"
Hans did not refuse and glanced at the secretary office. "Secretary Jennifer, don't you know to prepare
tea and snacks for the guest. Do you think I haven't deducted enough of your bonus this month?"
Jennifer's face froze, and she stood up from her seat. "I will go to prepare it now."
Looking at their backs side to side, Jennifer felt numb.
Hans was always surrounded by many women. Monica was the most patient and ambitious one. She
managed to keep Hans interested in her out of so many other girls. She also got rid of other girls even
though she was not officially Hans's girlfriend either. Her love for Hans was quite persistent.
She should prepare some snacks for Monica seeing that Monica helped her get rid of Han's other girls.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Jennifer's mouth.
She was always good at pretending everything was fine, so such a trivial matter was nothing for her.
When she brought in the tea and snacks, Monica was sitting on the sofa, snuggling in Hans's arms.
Seeing Jennifer with snacks, she picked up a macaron and put it beside Hans's mouth. "I'm on a diet
so I can't eat this. Hans, can you eat them for me?"
Hans was a clean freak. Jennifer knew Hans better than anyone else. He won't even eat food people
gave him wrapped in tissue paper, let alone food people held in their bare hands.
Sure enough, Jennifer found a trace of displeasure on his face.
Monica got lost in too much excitement!
As Jennifer expected, Hans pushed her away from his arms and returned to his office chair with a
poker face.
Seeing that Jennifer was still there, Monica felt embarrassed and said shyly, "This macaron looked too
sweet. I know a bakery with good macarons. Let's go there together next time."
There was a cunningness in Jennifer's eyes. She turned and walked out of the office.
After Jennifer left, Hans felt like it was a chore to even respond to Monica's enthusiasm.
He made a faint sound and did not say anything else.
Noticing that Monica was still here after a long time, he frowned and said, "You don't need to stay here
with me if you are busy."
"I'm not busy today."
"But I am." A cold gaze drifted over from behind his desk. Hans made it clear that he did not want her
here.
Monica knew when she was not wanted. Since he already said that, she did not want to pester him
anymore. "Then I won't bother you anymore. My agent will take me to a meeting tonight and I will be in
a new movie."
"Okay."
Monica's ability to evaluate the situation was the main reason she got to stay by Hans's side for a long
time. Men all hoped that their women knew when to take a step back. This was exactly why Hans could
turn a blind eye to some of her little tricks. As long as her existence could make someone nervous, that
was enough.
Hans looked down and smelled the strong perfume on him. He took off his coat impatiently and threw it
into the trash can, covering the crumpled entertainment newspaper.
With Monica's hint, Jennifer checked the news on her phone. After she clicked on the top three most
searched hashtags, she felt weak and collapsed on the office chair.
"The mysterious woman schemed to get Jackson's attention by fainting at the concert."
'Scheming woman's office location exposed. She was the lover of an entertainment tycoon.'
"Doing anything she could to be asocial climber, she turned her target to Jackson after she failed to
seduce her boss."
...
Although all the pictures were pixelated, Jennifer could still recognize that it was herself. There was
even a video recording at Jackson's concert. It had already been forwarded more than ten million
times.
The fans were attacking her online, and some people even found where she worked based on the
photo Rose posted on Instagram.
Jennifer glanced at Rose's table opposite her, it was empty. It was her day off so she was not there.
Jennifer knew that Rose probably had too much fun last night and she would have to sleep all day to
recover.
No wonder she felt that people were looking at her weird the whole day when she passed by the office
area outside the president's office.
Thinking of the possible behavior of those fans, she was a little flustered.
