Chapter 67: A Secretary’s Job
John's flustered look puzzled Rose. She stood at the door of the pantry in surprise for a few seconds
without saying a word.
When Rose returned to the secretary's office with coffee in her hand, Jennifer had already turned off
the music and began to work.
Seeing that Rose was in a daze, she couldn't help asking, "Did you run into a ghost in the pantry? You
look so out of it..."
Hearing this, Rose came to her senses and said with a frown, "I just met John. He looked at me like I'm
a ghost. Do I look that scary? Help me have a look."
Her words made Jennifer feel a chill. Jennifer rolled her eyes at her grumpily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? After what happened last night, of course, a scumbag like John
will run away when he sees you. Do you think he can take a lot of psychological tolls? I bet he won't
last for much longer before he resigns."
"Huh?"
Seeing that she was at a loss, Jennifer had to tell her everything that had happened at the gate of her
community the night before. "I have always felt that he had ulterior motives. You better don't hang out
with him anymore, or you won't even know when you have been taken advantage of."
Hearing Jennifer's words, Rose's scattered memories gradually pieced together. She had a lightbulb
moment and suddenly remembered everything from last night.
"D*mn it... he's an a*shole!"
She slammed the coffee cup hard on the table, and the coffee spilled on the table. Rose clenched her
fists angrily. "No wonder he ran away when he saw me. Lucky for him I didn't remember any of it just
now. If I had, I would have torn him a new one."
"Calm down. Fortunately, nothing serious happened last night."
Hearing this, the anger in Rose's eyes eased a little.
So last night, it was Hans who saved them. Suddenly, Rose had a better opinion of him.
The whole morning, Rose was swearing up and down at John while she was looking through
documents.
When it was almost lunch break, Jennifer finally couldn't stand it anymore. She slowly let out a breath
and said, "Rose, you should think about something good for a change. If you continue to swear, we
won't be able to have a good lunch today."
Rose blinked angrily and thought out loud.
"That's true. We can't ruin our mood for lunch. But John, this son of a b*tch, I will spit on his face every
time I see him."
Jennifer sighed helplessly and got up to leave the desk.
"Take your time. I'll send the documents first."
"Wait a minute. I still have three more here. Please help me send them to Mr. Hans."
Looking at Jennifer's graceful figure entering the president's office, the gloomy look on Rose's face
inexplicably turned brighter.
During this period of time, she had noticed the change in Hans's attitude toward Jennifer. "Did
something happen that suddenly made him realize that he wanted to make up to Jennifer, or was he Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
possessed?"
In short, this was a good sign for Jennifer, and maybe it was also a good sign for her. After all, she only
got her current high salary and low effort job because of Jennifer. She couldn't just watch her best
friend suffer while she enjoy her life.
In the president's office, Jennifer masterfully placed a stack of thick files on Hans's table.
"This is the proposals sent by the Planning Department, including the final changes and modification of
the end of the year company management plan, as well as the modification of the artists' management
plan and company's laws and regulations document..."
"Okay." Hans nodded and picked up the first file on the top to read.
Jennifer stood there for a while, feeling a little uneasy.
"Mr. Hans, if there is nothing else, I will go out first..."
"Are you busy?" Hans raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Ehm... not for the moment."
Hans lowered his head again, marking on the document, and ordered without looking up.
"Make a cup of coffee and sit there for a while. I'll be done soon."
Jennifer thought for a few seconds, then quietly went to Hans's personal pantry to make coffee.
The aroma of coffee gradually permeated the whole office. Hans had always been very particular about
these things. There were specific requirements for the coffee beans, and the coffee machine was also
a high-end custom-made one. The fresh coffee beans were grounded into powder in the machine, and
then mixed with hot water, boiled and filtered slowly, and finally dripped into the coffee cup.
"Mr.Hans, your coffee."
"Mhmm."
Hans casually picked up the coffee that Jennifer had placed beside him and took a sip. His facial
expression changed, he frowned and looked at Jennifer. "Lukewarm coffee?"
Jennifer froze for a few seconds. "Last time, you said... the taste of the cold coffee is better... So I put
some ice cubes. Is it not cold enough?"
Hans was at a loss for words. He looked at the cold coffee in his hand and he had very strong mixed
feelings.
He coughed dryly, put the coffee aside, and asked casually,
"Has the company started preparing for the artists and staff year-end trip?"
Jennifer was just sitting down on the sofa when she heard his words and jumped up from the sofa.
Hans frowned and glanced at her with displeasure.
"Why are you so startled? Sit down."
Jennifer sat down silently, sorted out what she was going to say, and replied seriously.
"The Planning Department hasn't informed us yet. The company has a lot of activities this year, and the
artists are also busy. More than 10 percent of the artists have been fully booked until the end of the
next year. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to have a holiday like before. After all, some of the
contracts have been finalized. It's not good to make any changes last minute."
When Joy Group first started, there was a company benefit of bringing all the employees for a vacation
before December. However, as the company grew ever since Hans took over it, the popularity of the
artists skyrocketed. Most A-list artists did not have time to participate in such activities. The most
obvious one was the end of the year trip to Tahiti last December. Except for a few A-list artists who just
happened to have free time, the rest were just newcomers and B-list artists.
Hans frowned. Thinking of the trip last year, he was displeased.
This was a tradition for Joy Group. They started this practice to promote understanding between the
artists and the staff. This way, they could cooperate and work together in front and behind the scenes.
Although it had developed into a vanity project now, it was still their company culture and a good
opportunity to attract the attention of the public.
"This year, we will do it as usual. Check the schedule today, only the artists who are fully booked in
December can be excused, I don't want anyone else missing this trip. I will leave it to you."
"Me?" Jennifer pointed at herself in disbelief. "I... I'm not suitable for this job, am I?"
She was the secretary, and her main task was to help lighten Hans's workload and help him improve
his efficiency. However, it was unheard of for her to be in charge of an event.
Hans glanced at her. "You heard me right, I will leave it to you."
