Chapter 23
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Madeline turned embarrassed, as she really had no idea how to do that.
She tried to ask, âMr. Wagner, would you like some coffee or tea?â
She added, âOr watert Red wine!â
After saying that, she seemed to feel a little ridiculous mentioning wine.
Steven finally raised his head and leaned slightly against the chair.
His deep pupils fixed on Madeline.
The young girl was attractive but looked somewhat malnourished. She could even be considered skinny When Madeline lowered her head, her whole body looked graceful and beautiful.
Her thin wrists looked weak. It was as if they could be broken with just a tiny snap.
In the dim light, she looked obedient and goodâlooking.
âMr. Wagner?â The girlâs voice was clear and melodious.
Stevenâs gaze dropped to Madelineâs ankle. âNo need to bring anything to me.â
He ordered, âYouâd better sit down since youâre hurt.â
Madeline responded, âItâs okay, Mr. Wagner. You can order me at any time. My legs donât feel hurt.â
She added, âToday is my first day of work, and I need this job.â
âSo..â Madeline swallowed and said in a softer tone, âYou donât have to be considerate of my injury She was also afraid that Steven would fire her immediately.
Madeline would not have been in such a difficult situation if her bank card had not been frozen.
She raised her eyes, which were were amberâcolored and bright Steven was very wellâknown as Grim Reaper.
Otherwise, she might be foolish and mistake him for a thoughtful boss.
Therefore, she had to be cautious.
Hearing the girlâs weak voice, Steven felt like he was bullying a child.
He chuckled with his eyes looking obscure.
âHow good is your Uprian!â he asked.
âNormalâ Madeline bit her lips.
Her Uprian was naturally very good during the national university entrance exam but turned bad later on.
Even when she attended foreign events, only simple spoken sentences were required.
As time went by, her Uprian became rusty.
âCome here.â Steven got up, casting a large shadow in the room. âSit here and translate this articleâ
Madeline took a step over.
The strong aura emitted from the man made her look extremely insignificant.
She put her hand on the desk.
Clancing at the mahogany chair, Madeline shivered. âI âI have to sit here? What about you, Mr. Wagner?
âI will supervise your workâ the man said with a lowered voice.
Chapter 23 was joking Madeline stared at Steven and thought he was Unexpectedly, the man really s strode to the couch and sat on it with his legs spread apart.
He sank completely into the couch.
Steven looked at Madeline with his dark eyes, motioning for her to start working.
Madeline glanced at the big CEOâs chair and looked troubled.
She wondered if it was really fine for her to sit on the CEOâs chair on her first day of work.
Madeline steeled herself and sat down to foreign companies. She picked up the black pen on the desk and looked at the article in front of her, which was actually a notice sent to for Stevenâs calligraphy was powerful. Even for a casually written notice, the man had written it with a cursive script.
Madeline thought that was really Stevenâs style.
She took the pen and began to translate the article, Gradually, she ignored Stevenâs gaze.
ngall After all, she had just noticed that Steven had already gotten up from the couch to make a call.
It seemed that he had important matters to attend to, which was why he entrusted Madeline with the translation, Madeline was the only one left in the office when she was immersed in her task.
Matilda brought a manager over and entered the office with a contract to be signed. When she looked at the scene in the room, her face changed dramatically.
There was no sign of Stevenâs mighty gure at the big and specially customized mahogany desk, Instead, a skinnyâlooking girl was sitting on the seat behind the desk.
She was holding the lugrea handâmade pen that Steven often used on regular days.
For a moment, Madeline looked like a little girl studying in her own study.
âMâMaddieââ Even Matilda, who was always unruffled, could not say anything correctly at that time.
The manager r was also dumbfounded. âWho is this girl? How dare she sit on Mr. Wagnerâs seat Matilda, you...â
Steven was in the company today. The manager could not imagine the bossâ reaction if he saw this scene With Stevenâs cold personality, the manager was afraid they would suffer from the consequences.
He yelled, âMatildat Quickly make her get up from the seat!â
Madeline paused. âWhatâs wrong? Are you looking for Mr. Wagner?â
Matilda hurriedly walked over. âMaddie, have She pointed to the small table in the corner, you remembered your seat wrong! Your seat is over there...
She thought, âIf Mr. Wagner sees this, Madeline will never be able to atone for her mistake, even with a thousand deaths.â
âBesides, what are you writing Matilda asked.
âI let her sit there an icy voice rang out..
Matilda turned around and s 3.W Steven coming out of the lounge He was dressed in a fine suit without any folds, towering over them with a disdaining look.
Matilda and the manager immediately swallowed.
Their ex expression also turned slightly tense.
âWhat is it?â Steven asked.
âMr. Wagner, we have a contract here that requires you to sign in person. Matilda was surprised but soon calmed herself down.
171 PM Chapter 23 She squeezed out a smile with a tense expression. âItâs about the cooperation with Skyview Group last week...â
The manager stood stiff. âIndeed, it is.â
Steven sat on the couch and was about to take the pen from his pocket when he remembered that it was in Madelineâs hand.
He glanced sideways at Madeline.
The manager said, âHey, secretary girl. Bring the pen here quickly.â
He added. âMr. Wagner is accustomed to using this pen regularly. Youâd better use another one. Donât break Mr. Wagnerâs pen either.â
âOkay.â Madeline got up.
Steven replied. âNo need for that. Itâs just a penâ
He simply picked up a pen in the pen holder and signed his name after scanning the contract.
Being held in his slender, wellâdefined, and strong hand, the pen looked even more valuable.
The manager took the contract and left the office in a daze.
He wondered why Steven would be this amiable to a secretary, as he was wellâknown as Grim Reaper.
He thought, âIs that secretary his wife? But she seemed to be a little too young and dressed too plainly... Itâs unreasonable for her to be Mr. Wagnerâs wife!
âWhy did she have the guts to sit in Mr. Wagnerâs seat the manager muttered and got into the elevator, The others were a little surprised. âWhy is Mr. Leach behaving strangely today?â
âMaybe he was scolded by Mr. Wagner, How terrifying. Mr. Loach usually has the best state of mind.â
âAlas, who can remain composed in front of Mr. Wagner?
âLetâs muster up our spirit today more. Make sure not to make any mistakes.â
Everyone trembled, showing knowing expressions tacitly.
Meanwhile, Matilda was already sweating at the CLOâs office. âMr. Wagner, Mr. Lively is here and waiting in the reception room.â
She then asked, âWould you like to meet him now?â
Sieven followed Matilda out of the office.
Madeline also withdrew her gaze and did not take the interlude just now seriously.
She looked at a word in the article but could not remember the Uprian counterpart of it.
She had no choice but to take out her phone and search for the translation, only to find that the time was over noon.
âIâm screwed. It seems I canât go for lunch without finishing the translation today Madeline murmured.
Madeline sighed and continued to get busy with her task. âI wonât die from hunger, right?â
She added, âIâd better hurry up and finish it early so that I can liberate myself from this taskâ
She then thought, To be honest, I admit that the CEOâs chair is comfortable and quite ergonomic. Itâs just that I feel extremely uneasy and restless, like sitting on needles. Itâs quite an anxious feeling.â
More than ten minutes later, Queenie entered the office with some food. âMaddie, stop what youâre doing first and come out for your mealâ Madeline was stunned. âBut I didnât order a any takeout âMr. Wagner informed me to prepare funch for youâ Queenie could not help but become a little gossipy She then said, âBy the way, the news abo about you taking Mr. Wagnerâs position on your first day at work had spread through the whole company?
âAhemâ Queenie looked at Madeline with admiration. âWhat a bold newcomer we have hereâ
