Chapter 110 Make the Most of Your Opportunity Seeing the widespread video early in the morning, Beck was awkward and furious when he arrived at the company. Many of the Miller Groupâs employees also browsed that trending topic and talked about it, but they stopped talking and continued their work when they saw Beck coming over with a dark face.
As soon as Beck came, the PR manager wiped the sweat on his forehead and went up to him. âMr. Miller, we have dealt with that trending topic. Donât worry. The netizens will forget about it in a few days.â
Only then did Beckâs mood improve slightly. He nodded and strode toward his office. As he opened the door, a young woman hurried out of the room and suddenly hit him, making the documents in her hands scatter all over the floor.
She bent down to apologize, and her lowering face was full of guilt. âSorry, I was in a hurry and didnât see you.
Iâm so sorry.â
The PR manager was shocked and glanced cautiously at Beck. Seeing his expression was not good, he, immediately scolded, âVanessa, are you blind? Do you know who you bumped? He is Mr. Miller.â
The girl named Vanessa quickly raised her head. As soon as she saw Beckâs tightly furrowed eyebrows, her face turned pale with fright. She had a very gentle look. The rims of her eyes were reddish after she was frightened, with tears welling up.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Miller. I didnât mean it. Iâm sorry.â
Beck was initially extremely impatient and on the verge of an explosion, but after seeing Vanessaâs face, his anger disappeared instantly as a ball punctured.
Vanessa was not particularly beautiful, but her gentle and elegant temperament was similar to Lynnâs. When she looked pitifully at him with a pale face, Beckâs memory of helpless Lynn at the train station was evoked.
Beck was touched and gently asked as though he was casual, âWhich department do you belong to? Why havenât I seen you in the company before.â
Seeing him talking to her, Vanessa felt her thin body trembling. âMy name is Vanessa Haley, and today is the first day I joined the company. Iâm... Iâm your assistant.â
The PR manager also explained, âDidnât your previous assistant leave the job when some changes happened to the company?
The HR recruited a new one. Although she doesnât have a strong resume and experience, she is serious and careful in doing things.â
Beck didnât speak and looked at Vanessa carefully.
Vanessa felt somewhat uneasy and looked at Beck cautiously. âMr. Miller, I really didnât mean it today. I was in a hurry to send documents to other departments, so I accidentally bumped you. Please donât fire me!â
Seeing her timidity, Beck was a little disappointed. Although she had a gentle temperament similar to Lynnâs, she was still much worse than Lynn.
âPick up the documents.â After saying it, Beck strode inside.
The PR manager heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and said to Vanessa, âItâs okay. You are fortunate. He was badâtempered today, but I didnât expect him not to punish you.â
Vanessa smiled and squatted down to pick up all the scattered documents. She lowered her head, and there was no expression on her gentle and innocent face. All her pitiful and scared look had gone.
After delivering the documents, Vanessa came to her workstation outside Beckâs office, and she could see his desk when she looked up.
Beck was staring at his computer with furrowing brows as if he was on the edge of anger.
Although the previous video on Twitter was deleted, some netizens took screenshots or saved the video for the first time. Many people still talked about what had happened this morning on the Internet, and even some of Beckâs business partners came over to ask him.
Beck, a man of paying attention to faceâsaving, felt so furious that he seemed to go mad. He snorted coldly, slammed the mouse on the table, and sighed deeply, leaning against the back of the chair.
Hearing the clicking sound of high heels, Beck sat up, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table.
He looked up and saw Vanessa smiling at him softly. âMr. Miller, itâs rather cold today. I saw you just came in from outside.
Please drink a cup of tea to warm your body.â
She should know why he was angry, but she never mentioned it. Thinking of it, Beck felt touched. He took a sip of tea. The tea had a perfect temperature and a strong aroma. Beck couldnât help but praise her for being good at making tea.
Vanessa didnât leave and kept looking at him, fingers grabbing her skirt nervously. The shyness and innocence unique to young girls suddenly hit Beck.
He paused and asked with a gentle smile, âThe tea tastes great!â
Vanessaâs eyes lit up suddenly, and her smile was sweet and gentle. âIâm so glad to hear your praise! Mr. Miller, Iâm back to work.
If you need anything, just let me know.â
After speaking, she left quickly, and her steps were very brisk.
Stroking the wall of the cup, Beck smiled with his lowering head and couldnât help but feel a secret joy.
At noon, Vanessa was about to go out for lunch. As she left her desk, Beck walked out and couldnât help but smile when he saw her. âVanessa, are you going for lunch?â
âYes!â With a smile, Vanessa squeezed her phone tightly and said, âIâm going to the staff cafeteria. Iâm a little curious about the food this noon.â
A secret look flashed in Beckâs eyes, and he cleared his throat. âIâm going to go to the private kitchen opposite the company. Go with me.â
After finishing speaking, he felt his tone too intimate and added, âBy the way, letâs discuss work matters.â
Vanessa paused and said quickly, âOkay. Please wait a moment. Iâll go to the bathroom first.â
Beck nodded. Looking at the back of her excellent figure, he smiled meaningfully.
After entering the bathroom, the greenness on her face disappeared. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message.
After receiving a response, she looked up at herself in the mirror. She was not a particularly beautiful girl, but she had a mixed temperament of gentleness and shyness. Seeing herself in the mirror, Vanessa couldnât help but smile. She touched up her makeup and left the bathroom.
The Maple Garden.
Cynthia was peeling apples for Lynn. Her phone suddenly rang, and she picked up the phone. Someone sent her a message.
âMrs. Smith, Beck invited me to have lunch.â
A sarcastic smile touched the corner of her mouth. Cynthia replied, âMake the most of your opportunity.â
It was Cynthia sending Vanessa to Beckâs side. During this time, Jane and Cherry provoked her many times, trying to destroy her relationship with Alston. Since they were such leisured, she had to find something for them to do.
As Cynthia finished replying to the message, Lynn walked in from the outside. After Lorenz came to Fort, Lynnâs spirit rose a lot.
Now she was exercising hard and eating healthily. She hoped to see the others of the Green family earlier with a healthy body after receiving a kidney transplant.
With this hope, Lynn visibly became healthy.
âCynthia, is it about work?â Seeing Cynthia bowing her head and sending messages, Lynn asked.
Cynthia put away her phone and smiled sweetly. âNo. I just saw a funny joke, so I sent it to Alston.â
Lynn came over and snatched her mobile phone. Cynthiaâs heart trembled. She was afraid that Lynn would see the news.
Instead of looking at the phone, Lynn held it far away and looked at Cynthia discontentedly. âHow often have I told you that you should play less with your phone? You are pregnant. The phone has radiation.â
Cynthia was guilty and whispered, âI look at it occasionally. Besides, how can people live without their mobile phones now.â
In a low voice, Lynn poked her head and said, âYou still dare to talk back to me? Look at me. I donât use my mobile phone, and my body is improving. Am I right?â
âYes! Yes!â Cynthia had no choice but to agree with her words. Looking at her serious but gentle face, Cynthia couldnât help but be in a trance.
Although Beck was indeed a scumbag, he really liked her mother. She chose Vanessa because her temperament was very similar to that of her mother.
Thinking of it, she felt a little guilty about facing her mother. She cleared her throat embarrassedly and handed the peeled apple to Lynn flatteringly.
The Miller Group.
After the meal, Vanessa didnât have the initial nervousness and sweetly smiled when facing Beck, maybe because Beck said something to relieve her unease.
Instead of âVanessa,â Beck called her âVanny.â
Vanessa was complacent, but she didnât show it. When she got off work at night, Beck drove her home. They arrived downstairs.
She pretended to be offhanded to reveal that she lived alone. She asked casually, âMr. Miller, do you want to go up and have a cup of coffee? Not only do Iâm good at making tea but also coffee.â
Vanessa initially thought he might refuse, but Beck paused and said in a low voice, âOkay.â
Inside, the car was quiet for a while. After two minutes, Vanessa smiled, moved her slender and fair fingers, and grabbed Beckâs hand, with her eyes full of flirtatious look.
Beck couldnât bear her seduction and leaned toward her.
