Chapter 98
Chapter 98
She had just taken over Aria's position for less than half a month, and she was already making huge progress. She even corrected many of the flaws, giving the entire company a makeover within such a short period of time and eliminated some of the defects he'd been trying to fix.
Sure enough, he was right to promote Jenna. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
From the surveillance video, he could see that Jenna was wearing a suit. Her silver white midlength suit made her torso look slender. The mid length skirt that she was wearing outlined her pretty, sensual hips perfectly, and the outfit was paired with white high heels, which stepped on the ground rhythmically. Her soft waist twisted, and on the smooth tiles, the sound of her high heels rang all the way to the cashmere carpet in the office.
The sound of Jenna's high heels clicking was very different from Aria's. It sounded like the person was very calm and confident rather than impatient and arrogant. The sound of it would not make people feel uncomfortable. In fact, they were even reassuring.
From the moment Jenna stepped into the Richards Group to the moment she settled the issue with the models, her movements were so natural. She was quick and decisive, and never sloppy. The corner of Hansen's mouth curved into a beautiful curve and the word "queen" flashed through his mind.
Needless to say, this woman really had the temperament of a queen. Although she seemed like a quiet person all those years when she had been working in the Richards Group, she was neither servile nor overbearing. She was calm and collected and he had noticed that long ago. He had deliberately overlooked her potential earlier because he despised her. Now he was finally willing to give her a fair chance.
Hansen was intrigued by her imposing personality. He didn't look away from the monitor until her figure disappeared in the corridor. Then, he looked at the wall opposite him.
He was just a wall away from her, and she was sitting right across from him, so what could she be doing?
Hansen imagined her beautiful body sitting in front of a computer, reading a document, or making a phone call. In fact, she was also a workaholic like him. Since she became the Vice President of the company, she insisted on driving herself to work every morning. She explained to him saying that she wanted to maintain professionalism, lest people say she was in his good graces and depended on him to make a living.
When Hansen heard her explanation, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he thought that she was right and couldn't blame her, so he let her have her way.
However, in doing so, he would be spending a lot of time away from her.
What made him angrier was that she even cited being busy with work as the reason for not allowing him to touch her. Even if she did allow it, he could only touch her only once, making him aching for her every day. He sometimes even wondered if she was using this as an excuse to avoid him. He was so indignant that he could not wait to dismiss her as Vice President immediately.
He stroked his chin and thought for a moment. Then he looked at the wall again. Suddenly, he had a light-bulb moment and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He slowly stood up.
When he entered Jenna's office, she was buried in a pile of documents, frantically looking for something. She was sweating and her cheeks were flushed. When Hansen walked in, she didn't pay attention to him or maybe she didn't even know that he had entered her office.
Hansen cleared his throat and looked serious.
"Stop messing around. Go play on the side," Jenna didn't even raise her head and kept looking in the drawers. Then, she flipped through the documents on her table, looking very anxious.
Hansen was not happy that he was sent away like a child.
"What are you looking for?" He asked in a dignified tone.
Jenna was startled when she heard his voice. She raised her head and realized that it was Hansen. In the past few days, there was a young graduate in the Design Department who would come up to her office to ask questions on the pretext of asking for advice. She thought that it was him who had walked into her office, but now, it turned out to be the beast.
She was a little flustered, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Her face was flushed and her eyes were wide open. She blinked her bright eyes, which made her look very cute.
"Oh sorry, Mr. Richards. It's just that I spent the whole night coming up with new designs and copied it over with a USB flash drive, but now it's gone, and I can't find it. It's really urgent," Jenna wiped the sweat on her forehead with a tissue and was very anxious.
Hansen leisurely put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows. He accused her lightly with a smile on his face, "Is this how you work? You seem very forgetful."
His words made Jenna's face even redder. She opened her mouth and couldn't speak. There was nothing she could do. He had found out her mistakes and she could only accept his scolding for losing the USB drive.
Hansen enjoyed seeing Jenna's flustered appearance and felt happy in his heart. He slowly leaned over and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to ask me for advice when you can't finish the job?"
Jenna found his words were strange. She looked up and saw his deep black eyes. She looked into his eyes and asked timidly, "Does it mean you can help me finish my work?"
Hansen loved her silly expression and was tempted by her gaze. He reached out and placed his hand on her waist and leaned over to ridicule her, "Look at you, you don't put your heart into your
work, not to mention your life. How are you going to please me?" As soon as he said this, Jenna immediately understood what he meant. His dissatisfied expression in the past few nights appeared in her mind. Of course, she was not that stupid. She blushed and tried to get rid of him.
"Don't move. Obey me and you will live," Hansen said playfully. He suddenly retrieved the USB drive from his pocket and showed it to her, "Look, is this what you're looking for?"
The USB drive that she was looking for was sitting in his palm. Her eyes lit up and she reached out to grab it. Hansen quickly pulled back his hand, away from Jenna.
"Give it to me. It's mine," Jenna reached out and grabbed his hands with all her strength. She used all her strength to try and pry open his hand. Hansen exerted a little more strength, and his fist did not budge at all.
Jenna was discouraged.
"You overestimated your own abilities," Hansen sneered sarcastically and walked towards the couch with his arms around her waist.
"What are you doing?" Jenna was now seated on his lap, and being held like a doll.
"How did my USB get into your hands?" Jenna was very puzzled, but she couldn't figure it out. She just asked curiously.
Hansen reached out a hand to stroke her hair and said in an indecent tone, "If you can please me more, I'll tell you. Otherwise, maybe this will happen again."
Jenna was chilled down to her spine by his words; it was as if he had taken it away on purpose. She thought to herself, "D*mn it, he must have done it on purpose!"
However, how did the USB drive manage to end up in his hands? Jenna couldn't figure it out. When she heard that he wanted her to please him more, it reminded her of last night. She was trying to come up with new ideas in the study, but he kept making trouble beside her, urging her anxiously.
He must have snuck it out of her carry-on bag when she was in the bathroom!
Jenna was furious. She had been looking for it for the entire morning. More importantly, she felt guilty that she hadn't done her job properly. However, it was all his doing.
With a sullen look on her face, she looked up and was about to question him. However, by the time she wanted to ask, she realized that his hand was already underneath her clothes and was reaching for her sensitive spots.
"Hey, it's working hours. Can you stop thinking about s*x all the time? You pervert," Jenna grabbed his hand to stop him from going any further. This rascal, his hand was so warm that her temperature had also risen up.
"What are you talking about? I am a man after all. What else can I think about if I'm not thinking about this?" He laughed.
Jenna was disgusted by what she heard. He always had beautiful women to accompany him every day, but he was still desperate for her. Which man could be so energetic and lustful? "For so many years, you've had beautiful women by your side, and a gorgeous beauty named Aria, but I never thought you, Mr. Richards, would be so dissatisfied in your s*xual life," Jenna scoffed, with a hint of disgust in her tone.
Hansen's face immediately turned black when he heard that. This d*mned woman, how dare she feel disgusted by him? She didn't really think he was having an affair with these women, did she?
However, he didn't want to deny it. He replied her proudly, "I just love sleeping with you. I need to sleep with you every day. What are you going to do about it?"
He was being unreasonable again. Jenna remembered that she had a lot of work to do today, so she didn't have time for this, so she held out her palm and said, "Mr. Richards, I have to get back to work. You know that I have a lot of work these days. Could you please return the USB drive to me?"
"Well, it's not that you can't. It's just that I must be satisfied first. Otherwise, I'll not only punish you if you don't finish the job, but also torture you just the same," he sneered and winked smugly.
"What on earth do you really want?" Jenna was helpless. After all, there were still a few projects to work on. There were people waiting for her in the conference room to talk about the contract. The next day was the weekend. No one would be working the next day. Now that she was at work, she wanted to get the work at hand done.
"Think about it. Once you've made up your mind, I'll take you to visit your mother tomorrow afternoon," he tried his best to tempt her. His face was full of smiles.
Visit her mother? Jenna's eyes lit up.
"Hansen, does it mean that my mother's going to have surgery soon?" She raised her delicate face and looked up at him with expectation.
To be exact, Jenna's expression at that time really moved Hansen. He had never seen her such a vivid expression. She looked anxious, beautiful and hopeful. However, there was still a trace of pain in it, which made his heart inexplicably sore for some reason.
His face darkened. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Jenna, we found a matching donor, but your mother is depressed and grief-stricken. Her mental state is not fit for surgery, and it seems like she does not have a strong will to live. I heard from Dr. Brooks that although her left
kidney was indeed injured in the car accident, if the patient has been in a good mood and is actively treated, the surgery will be unnecessary, but her condition now is..."
At this point, Hansen was a little heavy-hearted. He didn't continue. When he saw Jenna's face, it instantly turned as white as a sheet and her eyes were full of pain. Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to continue.
