Chapter 1118: Terrifying
After careful consideration, Camille said, "What can I help you with? I
feel like the work at Simpson Group might not be suitable for me. It's
likely that going there will only cause trouble for you and affect your
work!"
"So, does that mean you're unwilling to go?" Ayan chuckled, reaching
out to gently touch her cheek. He said, âAs long as you go, naturally,
there will be harmony with your work, hmm?"
With his sincere tone, Camille didn't hesitate anymore. She nodded and
said, "Alright, I'll accompany you then."
"Good, start your job tomorrow."
"Sure, Mr. Simpson, please take care of me!"
Camille smiled, and Ayan also smiled as he looked at her.
Probably because of the upcoming job at Simpson Group, Camille even
dreamt of working there at night. In her dream, she temporarily took
over Kian's job, arranging many tasks for him. During this time, many
businesswomen contacted him, hoping to have a meal with Mr.
Simpson. Facing such invitations, Camille naturally refused.
However, despite refusing moments ago, right after Ayan accepted
someone else's invitation, she could only watch as he had dinner with
another woman, standing on the side as his secretary.
This kind of torment made Camille extremely uncomfortable in her
dreams. When she questioned Ayan, she received a reply, âThis is just
work. You're my secretary, and I hope you understand the boundaries.â
This dream woke Camille up a little after six in the morning.
She was well aware that standing in Ayan's position attracted many
women who actively sought to get close to him. However, Ayan himself
was a person of high integrity, maintaining a distant relationship with
the opposite sex, not giving any opportunity for advances or fantasies.
This also meant that Camille had never personally dealt with these
troublesome matters. Even if they encountered such situations, he
would take the initiative to handle them, leaving no room for the other
party to say anything.
However, this dream made Camille feel somewhat uncomfortable
because it felt too real. If she really went to Simpson Group as his
temporary secretary, would she have to deal with these matters?
Camille lay in bed, looking at the man sleeping beside her. Her
expression was particularly low.
She sighed silently, gently shaking her head, urging herself not to
continue thinking aimlessly.
If she really encountered such a situation, it would only be a part of his
daily work. It was just that because she wasn't with him 24 hours a day,
she naturally didn't know the specifics.
Because of this dream, when they had breakfast, Camille took the
initiative to ask, "Mr. Simpson, besides handling work matters, does
being your secretary also involve managing your private schedule?
What if someone invites you to dinner?"
"Handle it as you see fit. You're the secretary, so, of course, it's your job
to arrange it."
"So, I arrange it however I want, and you'll follow suit?"
"Naturally."
Camille looked at Ayan somewhat bewildered and asked with a hint of
unease, "What if Kian arranges for you to have dinner with a woman?
Do you have to go?"
"Why would he arrange for me to have dinner with a woman?" Ayan
asked, somewhat puzzled.
Camille said, "What if someone invites you to dinner!"
"People are inviting me to meals all the time. If I agree to all of them,
won't I be overwhelmed? I don't accept socializing unrelated to work.
The PR department and other departments will handle those. I'm
responsible for chatting with enterprise bosses on major projects and
dealing with things appropriate for my position. So, not everyone can
have meals with me."
Ayan looked at Camille, explaining his job nature and arrangements
seriously and in detail, dispelling any unfounded suspicions in Camille's
mind.
Perhaps because of Ayan's words, Camille's doubts were cleared, and
she felt relieved, eliminating any unnecessary stress.
They arrived at the company together and returned to the office.
The assistant quickly brought various documents, and Ayan began his
routine of reviewing and signing. The assistant then left to attend to
other tasks. Before leaving, she also brought water for Camille and
placed some fruits on the coffee table.
Camille sat on the sofa, watching Ayan. After waiting for over ten
minutes without any assignments, she frowned with dissatisfaction. She
got up, walked to the desk, and looked down at Ayan, asking, "Aren't
you going to assign me some work? I'm here today as a substitute for
Kian, right?"
Hearing her words, Ayan raised his eyes to look at her. In his deep
eyes, a hint of a smile appeared, and in a low, husky voice, he said,
"Do you really want to be a secretary?"
"Of course, why else would I come to Simpson Group with you?"
Camille had mentally prepared for various scenarios. What did he
mean by this now? She asked, "Are you having second thoughts?"
âIt's not second thoughts; I'm worried about you getting tired.â
âI'm not afraid of getting tired."
"Alright, should I have the assistant bring in Kian's work for you?" Ayan
asked in a low voice.
Camille declined, saying, "I'l go to Kian's desk; it's more convenient for
anything that comes up."
Ayan couldn't continue to insist with Camille's firm stance. Seeing her
passionate determination and considering he had already invited her,
he nodded in agreement.
Ayan dialed the internal line to summon the assistant to take Camille
out and then instructed the assistant to give Camille the responsibilities
that Kian usually handled.
The assistant was curious, looking at the two of them in confusion.
Silently, she thought, the president really knows how to play! Is this
what married couples find amusing? When home gets dull, they come
to the office for entertainment?
Playing around like this!
She thought so in her mind, but she immediately proceeded to provide
Camille with a detailed explanation of Kian's usual tasks.
After half an hour of detailed instructions, Camille also understood
Kian's responsibilities.
One couldn't deny that Kian, sitting in this position and earning a
considerable salary, truly deserved it. His job was not something an
ordinary person could handle. Even Camille, who wasn't new to the
workplace, felt there would be a lot on his plate since he had to take
care of everything, not only work-related matters but also some aspects
of Ayan's life.
Camille couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Kian really worked hard.
Taking over Kian's work, the first part was to understand Ayan's
schedule for the day. Most of Ayan's work today was at the company,
but he had to go out in the afternoon to meet a partner. In addition to
that, there were two meetings, each lasting nearly two hours.
The long duration and heavy content made Camille feel sympathetic
towards Ayan's hard work.
During this time, Camille could sit at Kian's desk and organize some
files. Since Ayan was currently dealing with other documents, there was
no immediate need for her to have any contact with him.
Camille's arrival caused quite a stir in the secretary's office.
Some people even speculated, "Did Mr. Simpson bring Mrs. Simpson
to the company because Kian is resigning?"
"Kian going on a business trip is too sudden. There's no schedule
record on the company side. Could it be that Mr. Simpson sidelined
him? What should we do? I'm a bit worried about working with Mrs.
Simpson. Will it be terrifying?"
"I'm also a bit worried."
âLet's not worry about it. If we're really going to work with Mrs.
Simpson, I think we should please her. We can't leave any handles
behind, in case we lose our jobs!"
People in the secretary's office had seen Camille many times before.
They knew she was easy to get along with. She had even ordered
afternoon tea and snacks for them before, and they had talked with her.
They knew Camille was gentle, but she was still the boss's wife, so
they naturally didn't dare to be too casual.
Everyone speculated whether Kian had been fired, so their attitudes
towards Camille were particularly enthusiastic.
Camille sat at the desk, and several people had already brought things
to her multiple times.
This made Camille feel embarrassed, and at the same time, she felt the
gazes of everyone discreetly watching her. Camille felt a bit
uncomfortable, so she decided to get up from her seat and walk
towards the general working area.
On this floor, there were only the secretary's office and Ayan's office, all
directly involved in working with Ayan. Naturally, these people weren't
gossipy.
Facing Camille's sudden approach, everyone was naturally nervous but
kept a poker face. Camille looked at everyone and asked, "Is there
something you want to say?"
