The next day, I went to the company to report.
A man came up and asked me to go to the President’s office.
I’m puzzled. Do ordinary employees have to be approved by the president when they join the company?
I didn’t expect the reason however. I was hired to be Austin’s secretary.
“President, I am here to apply as an economist, not as a secretary.”
“Newcomers in our company have always started as the President’s secretary. and when they are already qualified, then they will be appointed and transferred to a different department.”
Isn’t that just a blatant lie?
“President, can I not be your secretary?” I still want to refuse the position again.
The president exclaimed, “No.”
I was firm. I am going to fight for my desired position, “In this case, I can only resign.”
I don’t want to stay any longer in this fraudulent company.
“Resignation is fine, as long as you compensate for liquidated damages.” Austin said with a careless face.
I was dumbfounded, “What liquidated damages?”
Austin explained, “Isn’t it written on the signing contract? If you leave for no viable reason, you will have to pay the company liquidated damages, which is one hundred times your salary.”
This …
I couldn’t gather so much money.
I can’t help it. I can only be a secretary here.
Austin ordered me, “Acacia, pour me a cup of coffee.”
This is a lot for me to do.
I went to the pantry and poured a cup of random coffee I found. and took it to the office. I didn’t expect him to be picky. I had to grind it by hand. I had no idea what to do so I had to ask others to help me. After I finished it, I took it in. I didn’t expect another terrible accident. I accidentally spilled coffee on him.
Austin was aggravated, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it.” I apologized in a hurry.
He added, ” You can’t even make a decent cup of coffee and even hand it over carefully, what can you do then?”
I was so helpless that I left the office after being scolded by him.
But what I don’t know is that he has his own troubles. His family has arranged for him to get married, but he doesn’t like that girl.
In the past, he felt that no matter which woman he married, he would never meet someone who could make his heart feel warm anyway.
When he returned home, he saw the girl who will marry him along with her family in his own home. They are happily discussing the wedding date.
His father chuckled and said, “Austin, you’re just in time. We’re talking about your marriage.”
“Well, feel free.” Austin replied coldly.
“What is with your attitude? This is your life’s event, why don’t you care at all?” His father felt very angry because of his shameful behavior.
Austin was already vexed and said, “I have given you full authority to handle it for me, and you always ask me what to do?”
Austin was very angry and went back to his room shutting the door close.
At this moment, there was knocking on the door.
Austin opened the door and it was a woman with heavy make-up on. He was annoyed to find this woman. The woman in question is Chloe, the beauty queen who caused me to be expelled out of school.
“Austin, what’s wrong with you?” Chloe asked him passionately.
Austin was inexplicably disgusted with her.
“I’m fine.” He answered her with no emotion at all.
She was about to walk into his room, “Are you too tired of work recently?”
She asked questions left and right, which annoyed Austin, “Yes, if you have nothing to say, just go out, I want to rest.”
She was flirty, “Well, Austin, although you are busy with your work, just leave the wedding to me.”
“Do you really want us to get married?” Austin asked her.
She answered, “We grew up together, and the marriage was decided by both our parents. I just want to abide by it.”
“Even if the man in front of you doesn’t love you, do you want to do this?” Austin was already irked.
She was persistent, “I will do my best to make you fall in love with me. I will do whatever you want me to do.”
“Really?” Austin had an idea.
He added, “Well, then I want you to tell your parents to cancel the wedding.”
Chloe’s eyes widened, “I don’t think I have the qualification.”
Austin snorted and slammed the door shut, leaving Chloe alone and dumbstruck.
The next day, when Austin woke up to go to work, his mother stopped him.
“Austin, you haven’t had breakfast yet.” Her mother was preparing breakfast.
He answered in a hurry, “Mom, it’s okay, I have to go to work.”
His mother chased him outside with a lunch box. Austin had no choice but to take it.
“Austin, you really don’t want to marry Chloe?” His mother was concerned.
Austin nodded without thinking about it. “Mom, I don’t want to marry a woman I don’t like. I’ve already met the girl I like. I want to spend my whole life with her and never marry another woman again.”
Seeing her son so sure of what he wants made her stop dissuading him. She doesn’t want to interfere with her son’s happiness.
His mom showed him support, “Well, mom supports you, if you don’t want to we won’t force you to marry Chloe.”
“Really?” Austin was surprised and hugged his mother.
“Of course, I am your mother, as long as you are happy, business is not important.
“Thank you, Mom.” Austin felt happy.
Her mother smiled, “Silly child.”
Austin then waved goodbye, “I’ll go to work first.”
“OK, be careful on the road.”
Austin’s mood became much happier with his mother’s blessing.
I came to the company very early, and only when Austin was away can I do my favorite job as an economist. But at the moment he arrived at the company, I knew I couldn’t escape, because he called me to pour him a cup of coffee.
I didn’t want to cause any more trouble, so I agreed.
I poured the coffee and took it in. His expression was a bit strange, but I didn’t care.
At this time, another assistant came in with some women in heavy makeup.
“President.” The assistant said.
Austin frowned and said, “Who are these people?”
“This is the secretary you asked me to find again yesterday.” The assistant was helpless, but did not dare to show it.
Austin glanced at them grumpily while a few women were posing.
One of them said, “President, although I don’t have any work experience, I will work hard.”
Austin stared at me, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with me, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
I came forward to Austin and said, “President, I’ll go out to work first. Since you have found a new secretary, I won’t need to bring tea and water later.”
After that, I left, but what I didn’t know was that Austin was furious.
After work, it was already evening. My brother and I went to the restaurant for dinner, where there happened to be a piano, so I got interested and played a song, but I didn’t expect to be seen by Austin outside the restaurant. He thought Jack, my brother, was my boyfriend and became hostile to him. He also asked someone to investigate him.
The next day, When I arrived at the company, he still asked me to bring him coffee. I was puzzled. Didn’t he hire a new secretary yesterday?
Reluctantly, I walked in, but before I could react, I was slowly approached by him. He was so close to me that I felt I could hardly breathe.
To my shock, he kissed me. I was stunned. I subconsciously wanted to push him away, but he kept me locked in his arms.
“You! let me go!” I screamed in front of him.
“Why? Are you afraid of me?” Austin said.
I looked at him and said, “I’m not afraid of you. I hate you. Don’t you know how to respect others?”
“I always think about doing this when I am in front of you.” Austin revealed it.
I was shocked but stayed rational, “President, since you have a new secretary, I ask you not to order me to bring tea and water in the future. I just want to do my favorite job.”
“Those women can’t compare with you at all. How can I keep them around? I will give you a chance to stay with me now. When you become my woman, I will give you whatever you want.” Austin said this like he was negotiating.
I held my ground and said, “President, I think you misunderstood. I have never wanted anything from you, and I will not be with people like you.”
Maybe my words angered him and it made him kiss me with possessiveness. Just when I became dizzy, he looked at me and said softly, “Let’s fall in love.”
I panicked
Then, I ran out of the office in a panic and didn’t want to stay near him. This man is terrible.
