Chapter 24: You Are the Wisest (1)
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
It was undeniable that she really wanted to sound him out so that she
could know whether he didn't agree her to resign because of his special
feeling. Anyway, she still held a trace of expectation, but dare not
express it abruptly.
Nowadays, he had a fiancee.
That woman was an aggressive character.
"Since Miss Steele canât successfully persuade me, I hope Miss Steele
will stop resigning from now on. Although you are outstanding, Miss
Steele must have accumulated some experience in job hunting these
days. It is not easy to find a better job than that you own now, no
matter in terms of the position or the salary.â Alan looked at her with
his meaningful eyes.
Olive was stunned. How did he know that it was not smooth for her to
find a job? Did he interfere that?
She dared not think deeply, but she couldn't help being curious.
"Originally, I have the chance to get the offer from two companies.
Don't tell me that it was you who obstructed me and made me lose the
chance.â
Alan showed a rare smile, "Miss Steele thinks so highly of me. Luo city is
not my territory.â
It was true he had thought about that, but someone else had done that
for him. Why didn't he gladly look on the results he wanted?
Olive looked at him quietly as if she was trying to tell whether his words
were true or not. He called her "Miss Steele" all the time, which was
polite and alienated. Perhaps, those so-called ambiguities, was only her
own illusions, because she did not forget the beautiful memory related
to them.
As for his appearance in Luo city, maybe it was just a coincidence. It was
not surprising that a person like he flew from place to place.
"If Mr. Hoyle has no other orders, can you give me back my desk?" It
was late. If she decided to continue to work here, she would try her best
t finish her work.
Knowing that he took over Hengdu Company, She was not unwilling to
stay here, but she was too afraid to stay here.
Now working under his leadership made her feel like walking on thin
ice.
Alan gave up the position, "I am just taking over the company. There
are many things to be dealt with. I'm in the office. If there are any
problems, you can come to me anytime.â
Leaving this sentence behind, he went into the office and never came
out again.
So hard? But Olive always felt strange but she couldn't speak out what
was strange.
There was a lot of work to be dealt with and there wasn't much time to
think about it. Perhaps, because there was one more individual
separated by a wall, she had less fear of the darkness around and felt
much steady.
She was busy with working until 4 p.m.. She pounded her waist and
shoulder to loosen up.
Once she was relaxed, Olive just felt sleepy. After checking the data to
make sure there were no mistakes with her eyes keeping closing from
exhaustion, she printed more than a dozen copies, bound into a book,
and put them on the table.
After finishing that, Olive stood up and saw some lights still shining
through the door of his office. Was he still busy? Presumably, behind
the his glorious appearance, he needed to suffer more hardships than
that ordinary people could imagine.
Walking to the door, Olive raised her hand, but finally put down and
sighed softly. Even though she knocked the door and opened it, what
should she talk to him?
Turning around quietly, she went into the staff lounge, where there
were sofa benches. She wanted to have a rest here for a few hours.
Probably she was really tired because of taking care of Chloe last night
and only sleeping for two or three hours, so that she went asleep
quickly without any dream, as soon as she laid on the sofa.
Sabrina woke her up, "Olive, why do you sleep here? You are not afraid
to catch cold in such cold weather."
Olive rubbed her eyes and took her cell phone to watch the time.
Finding that it had been work hours, she immediately didn't feel sleepy.
Didn't she set the alarm for her cell phone? She didn't even hear it.
She slept too well.
"Are my eyes dark?"
"A little.â Sabrina told the truth.
"I have to wash my face and have a meeting later.â Olive rushed into
the bathroom quickly. She washed her face with the cold water to make
herself sober. Then she smoothed her hair and tied it up with a leather
band.
Returning to her office, she felt cold in her heart, as if the temperature
in her heart was lower than that in the winter.
The workplace had always been a battlefield where the smoke was
invisible. She knew that her position as the assistant president had
made many people jealous, but she didn't expect that she would be
framed by others so quickly.
The printed conference materials had disappeared, and even the
archives in the computer were destroyed. Both the analysis manuscripts
and the original data were cleared up, and even the recycling bin was
cleaned up.
It seemed that this person was really intentional. Olive sneered and
then calmly walked to the shredder at the front office.
Sure enough, there was a pile of new paper scraps.
Glancing at that, Olive silently returned to her seat, leaned back against
the chair and closed her eyes. She needed time to suppress her anger.
As for that person, she would ferret him or her out.
The sound of the high-heeled shoes approached and the familiar
perfume came into her nose. Without opening her eyes, Olive knew
that the visitor was Susie.
"Well, what's wrong? You look so grim in the early morning. Didn't you
sleep well last night? The meeting was coming. Why is Assistant Steele
still stunned here?
