Chapter 1180 Her New Assistant Is A Man

The man’s deep voice rendered Laney dazed for a while. She didn’t expect that there’d be such a

handsome male nurse in the hospital.

Before Laney could even react, the man took out his ID card and handed it to her. “I’m the personal

assistant that Mrs. Larson has hired for you. My name’s Ian. Just let me know if you need anything and

I’ll do my best to attend to your needs.”

Laney was even more astonished. The personal assistant Janet had hired for her was a man? Was she

serious?

“Let me have a look.” Laney took the ID card from him, and was about to check it over carefully when

footsteps were heard coming from the door.

She raised her head and saw Lola walk in with several bags in her hands. It seemed like she’d had

some good fortune on her way there, as she wore a bright smile on her face.

Despite Laney’s good temper, Lola’s irresponsibility annoyed her. In a stern tone, she asked, “Where

have you been, Lola?”

Still completely immersed in her euphoria, Lola failed to notice anything different about Laney’s

demeanor. She simply shook the bags in her hand gleefully and said, “I just went to get the gifts. These

are the ones that Miss Kailee Gibson asked me to give to you. She said she wanted to offer you an

apology.”

As soon as Laney heard Kailee’s name, she remembered the malicious intent that Kailee had clearly

shown towards her at the reunion. She frowned and said, “I don’t want them. Return them to her

immediately.”

When Lola heard this, however, her facial expression quickly transformed into one of anger. She placed

the gifts on the ground and said, “Miss. Gibson got you these gift out of kindness. Don’t be so stubborn,

Mrs. Harding. All these nutritious tonics are going to be good for the baby anyway. Even if you don’t

want to eat any of it, don’t you think you should consider the developing child in your womb?”

With restrained anger, Laney retorted, “Are you her assistant or mine? Just return them to her. I can

buy tonics myself!”

Despite this, Lola remained unconvinced and wanted to talk back. Just then, Ian had finished checking

the gifts. He immediately stood up with a frown. “These foods don’t provide any real benefits to

pregnant women. Some of the ingredients may even cause Mrs. Harding to have an allergic reaction,

so they are not suitable for her consumption.”

As Laney’s personal assistant, Lola didn’t check the food nor even know that Laney was allergic to the

ingredients.

Being so incompetent, how did she manage to get the job as an assistant? Ian was befuddled. Lola’s

face darkened. She glared at Ian and asked, “Who are you? Why do you say that it’s not good for her

health? And how do you know that they contain any allergenic ingredients?”

Ian smiled and said unapologetically, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m the personal assistant that Miss

Janet Lind hired for Mrs. Harding. I’ll be in charge of her day-to-day affairs from now on.”

When Lola heard that Ian was also Laney’s personal assistant, she felt like she had been slighted.

She became so infuriated that her face almost turned red. She turned around and spoke to Laney in a

very direct tone. “Mrs. Harding, Mr. Leo Harding has already arranged for me to be your personal

assistant. Why did you hire another one without his permission? Do you still hold him in high esteem?

Do you hold the entire Harding family in high esteem?”

Although Lola had put up a bad attitude earlier, she still showed respect to Laney outwardly. But now

she’d be bold enough to throw a series of questions at Laney, which made Laney get very angry,

despite her good temper. Just when Laney was about to refute Lola’s allegations, Ian stepped in.

“Don’t you understand why Mrs. Harding needs a new assistant? It’s because you are not qualified for

the job,” Ian said coldly. It was evident that he also disliked Lola’s brazen attitude.

The most important duty of a personal assistant was to treat their employer with respect while properly

managing their day-to- day activities, and Lola seemed to have failed in this duty.

“What?” Her eyes widened in disbelief. Ian then ruthlessly pointed out Lola’s defects, “First, as Mrs.

Harding’s personal assistant, you didn’t tell her about your temporary leave. What if something had

happened to her while you were away?”

Lola bit her lip and stood speechless. Ian continued, “Secondly, you recklessly accepted people’s food

gifts without checking their ingredients first. The worst thing that a pregnant woman can experience is

an allergic reaction. If anything were to happen, would you be able to take responsibility for it? Thirdly,

emotional fluctuation within a pregnant woman will not only affect her body, but also the baby in her

belly. Yet you quarreled with her and made her upset.”

After a long pause, Ian’s tone became even colder. “As an assistant, you have completely failed in your

duties.”
