“Alexia, why do you look so unhappy? If such a good opportunity presents itself to me, I shall be happy.” Someone looked at me with a strange expression, she asked strangely.
I couldn’t help but smirk.
“I just don’t understand, is Mr. Smith’s criteria for choosing a secretary beautiful or capable? There are so many people more capable than her, why did he choose Alexia?” Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out from the crowd. A very soft voice, but what she said was the voice of most people.
“Are you questioning Mr. Smith?” I smiled slightly. Of course I wouldn’t like a person like that, but I wouldn’t be bullied either!
“I envy you very much Alexia, it’s good to be beautiful and there are more opportunities than others!” the colleague said strangely.
What she said was obviously meant as an encouragement, and she also pretended that I was promoted because of beauty.
“By the way, Alexia, beauty is not important. I hope that even if you get into the president’s office, you’ll have to work hard so you can work long hours!”
“I thank you for your concern! That’s better than some people who aren’t even beautiful.” I laughed in annoyance. Being beautiful is one of my assets too!
“Okay, okay! The principal called, Alexia, you pack your things and move in this afternoon.” The deputy director answered the phone and immediately gave the order.
“Okay, I’m going out for a bit!” I can’t sit still, I ask Calvin what he wants to do.
When I went upstairs, I didn’t even knock on the door, but walked in, “Why should I be your secretary?”
“Don’t you want a raise? Be a secretary for me, the salary is high!” Calvin smiled and stood up, walking to my side and trying to hold my waist.
“But I don’t want to be your secretary!” I patted Calvin’s hand and took a step back.
“Why?” Calvin frowned, his expression solemn.
I lowered my head so I wouldn’t have to look at him.
“You hate being with me?” Calvin thought only of that possibility.
“No. I just think it gets boring when we’re together every day!” Seeing his frown, I knew he might be angry and quickly explained.
“Are you bored now?” Calvin was happy when he heard those words. He took my hand.
“It’s not boring now, but we all live together and work together during the day. Don’t you think it’s bad that there’s no distance?”
“What’s not good?” asked Calvin again.
“It increases the inadequacies!” I pouted and glared at Calvin.
“No.” Calvin moved forward again and hugged me to his chest.
“No! Goodbye!” I took the opportunity to free myself from Calvin’s arms and quickly ran out the door.
The president’s office issued an order directly, and so in less than an hour the secretary-elect was already in place.
Warren was organizing the work for everyone but me.
I asked myself, “What about me? What do you want me to do?”
Warren waved,”You’re coming with me!”
I thought Warren wanted me to do something, but who knows, he led me right into the president’s office.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” I quickly grabbed Warren’s hand and pushed the door open, asking in alarm.
“I’m organizing work for you!” Warren smiled.
“What kind of work are you planning?” I suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Go inside and you’ll find out!” Warren pushed the door open with vigor.
Calvin was finishing up a conference call and waved me over to join him on the sofa.
“What kind of work do you have planned for me?” he asked.
“Be with me!” said Calvin.
I stood up angrily, “Calvin, what do you mean!”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t want to be a vase! Even though I actually want a high salary, you humiliate me like this! Do you want me to be scolded in the Sky Group?” I was very angry and had a bad tone.
“Who dares to scold you!” said Calvin with a sullen face.
I was helpless, and the whole company would be upset if I were sent upstairs to work so blatantly.
“What do you want?” asked Calvin.
“Let me go back!” I said.
“Impossible!” Calvin declined.
“Then get me a job!” I don’t know what Calvin is thinking, how could he make such an idiotic decision.
“Okay! Then become Warren’s secretary.” Calvin called Warren to arrange the job after he finished speaking.
“Okay!” I’m very happy with this job. As long as I don’t have to deal with Calvin, I can do anything now.
Warren’s work efficiency is also very high. After half an hour, I was already sitting at my desk in front of the computer and started working on the tasks Warren assigned me.
As soon as I got off work, Wallen came into the office and was greeted warmly by the other secretaries.
“Today is your first day working here and you won’t have to work overtime. Mr. Smith is the friendliest boss. You guys pack up and get ready to go home!” Warren looked at us and winked with a smile.
“Poof!” I immediately choked as I drank the water.
Warren dares to say that Calvin is gentle?
When it’s time to leave work, my colleagues are ready to go. A colleague asked me if I should go home?
I shook my head, “There’s still some work to do, I’ll leave later.”
In the elevator, “Have you heard this yet, everyone is saying that Mr. Smith is a sugar dad for Alexia and that’s why she was chosen.”
“No way, no way”
“But you see, Alexia is the least senior. She’s only been with the Sky group for three years and has never had any sense of existence. It was the day Mr. Smith first came, her interaction with Mr. Smith made a lot of people take notice of her. So she got transferred and everyone was talking about it.”
“Let’s leave it alone and do our own work. We as secretaries have to be careful in our words and actions, otherwise our work is not justified!” The discussion in the elevator intensified and finally someone spoke up.
Everyone nodded.
When I saw that everyone had left, I went to Calvin’s office. As soon as I entered the office, Calvin placed the papers in his hands and took me in his arms with a bright smile.
“Don’t laugh at me every day!” I blushed and rested my head on his chest.
“Why?” Calvin frowned. “Are you afraid you might fall in love with me?”
I smelled his body and my face got hot again, “You’re too narcissistic!”
“Then why? You said you can’t be aggressive, can’t be cold, do you want me to cry when I see you?” Calvin was helpless.
“Okay, then you cry!” I imagined Calvin crying and couldn’t help but laugh.
I didn’t enjoy it for long though as I saw Calvin’s face get closer and he kissed me gently.
After a long while, Calvin said, “Go home.”
Calvin drove. After I got in the car, I felt a little embarrassed. I wondered if my behavior toward him had changed too quickly. A few days ago I was arguing and saying I would never fall in love with him, but now I can’t resist him at all. Will this make him think I’m an unfaithful person?
“What are you thinking about?” asked Calvin as he watched me get into the car and get bored.
“I’m thinking about how our relationship always turns out so suddenly!” I said quietly.
“What do you struggle with every day?” Calvin shook his head and sighed helplessly. “You know I’m here for you!”
“Don’t say that! I’m under a lot of pressure!” I pouted and stopped talking.
“Then don’t think about the past, enjoy the moment!” At the red light, Calvin stopped the car and reached out to shake my hand.
“But the past will upset me and the future will confuse me.” I whispered.
“The past, what do you mean?” Calvin paused, then said, “I’ll tell you, but not now.”
“That’s why I’m so excited,” I replied.
Calvin tightened his palm. After a while he said, “Actually, you just don’t recognize me!”
“Why do I feel like you’re becoming more and more of a villain!” “I’m depressed, why is he always like this?” “He’s not like I remembered him.
“What do you think of me?” asked Calvin.
“Then you can’t be mad!”, I said. I thought about what to say.
“Okay.”
I hesitated for a long time and finally shook my head, “Forget it, I still won’t say it or you’ll have to get mad again!”
“Go ahead, I’m not mad!” Calvin wanted to know how he looked, so he didn’t let this opportunity pass.
“Then I said it!” I said quickly, “Cold, boring, authoritarian, arrogant, and kissing me randomly. It feels uncomfortable to kiss me every time.”
“Stop!” Calvin’s tone suddenly became angry. He quickly stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at me. “Do I have that many shortcomings in your opinion?”
“No,” I already knew Calvin would be unhappy if he heard those words, so I had already figured out how I would handle it. “In fact, what I said above is everything you don’t have.”
Calvin smiled, but the last sentence bothered him. “What about that last sentence? Is it hard for you to kiss every time?”
“Not every time,” I blushed, not sure how to explain it to him.
“Calvin was very depressed and continued, but didn’t speak after that.
I noticed Calvin wasn’t on his way home, so I couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going?”
“I’m going to your mother’s,” Calvin said.
“Why are you going to my mom’s all of a sudden?” I hadn’t been here in two days, and I planned to come back tomorrow after work.
“Your mother is my mother-in-law. It’s normal for me to see her.” Calvin drove the car to the hospital and turned his head .
I blushed, “Vertigo!”
“Really!” Calvin emphasized again, “There’s legal protection between us!”
“I have nothing to say.”
He entered the station,
“Alexia, come here!” Florence Brown saw me and waved cheerfully.
“Mom.” I walked over and sat on the hospital bed and hugged her.
“Haven’t you eaten anything yet? I asked Auntie to cook and wait for you so we can eat together!” Florence Brown looked very energetic.
I gave Calvin a puzzled look. I had guessed that he must have called my mother in advance to have her wait for us to eat together.
Was he doing this to bring us closer together? Was he trying to please my mother?
