Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 68

After coming out of the president's office, Jennifer was in a daze. She sat on her chair with a stack of documents in her arms and sighed.

Rose was going crazy because of a few datasheets. When she saw Jennifer coming back, she quickly waved her over.

"Come and tell me how to change the data here. I'm going crazy."

Jennifer didn't move at all.

"I'm worried about something... You can Google it on your own..."

Hearing this, Rose was stunned for a moment and turned her head looking puzzled. "You are worried? You are so easy-going that you can tolerate Hans that maniac. What can you be worried about?"

Only Rose could joke in a situation like this.

Jennifer looked up and glanced at her. "Mr. Hans asked me to plan the December company vacation this year."

"He asked you?"

Rose exclaimed and raised her voice. "Isn't this under Planning Department?"

"Yeah, and he asked me to do it. He probably wasn't satisfied with what the Planning Department did last year. Several well-known artists in the company did not participate in it, and the B-list artists were not very involved. Only the company staff had a good time."

Jennifer sighed helplessly. "But if the Planning Department can't do it, what can I do? I'm just a secretary."

"That might not be true." Rose rolled her eyes.

"Do you know? Every year, the Planning Department will try to benefit themselves when they planned for the trip. The places we go and the activities we do are actually chosen by them internally since they can bring their families. The wives of the directors and managers made most of the decisions. Only the employees who have never travelled much had fun. The artists felt bored. Instead of humouring us, they could have been working and earning money."

Jennifer was slightly stunned.

"Is that true?"

"My God, I thought you knew." Rose frowned and seemed to think of something. She slapped her thigh.

"But of course, you have never joined the trip, so you didn't know."

Every year, the company's trip was set in December. Jennifer had been in the company for four years since she graduated. The first two years, Thomas and Stephanie were still alive. People in the company didn't know she was related to them yet and she was happy to hide it. The whole family rarely showed up together at the same time. So she didn't go on the company trip that two years and went backpacking with some of her friends instead.

Two years ago, Thomas and Stephanie passed away in an accident and the company trip was canceled. There was a huge shift in the company personnel. After that, she stayed at home for more than half a year and only came back to work earlier this year.

Jennifer looked helpless. "I think it would be very hard for me to plan this. I really don't know what he is thinking. What if I screwed it up?"

Seeing that she was in a dilemma, Rose didn't share her worries. Instead, she patted Jennifer on the shoulder encouragingly.

"I think that Mr. Hans is giving you a good chance to contribute. This will help you build a good image in the company. A perfect secretary should be flexible, an all-round player, and be able to work in any department if necessary. I believe you can do it."

Rose was making a lot of sense. Ever since Jennifer graduated and joined Joy Group, she had been working on various documents from all different departments in the company. From Human Resources, Planning, Finance to even Advertising Department, she was involved in all of them. Sometimes, she could point out the problems in their documents more professionally than those in the department.

She was never spoiled by her parents, and Stephanie had never intended for her to live an easy life. That was how she managed to survive such a demanding job, by learning on the job.

Rose's encouragement gave her hope. She suddenly felt that maybe what she said was true. Hans was giving her a chance to shine.

At lunch break.

"It's almost time. Let's go have lunch."

Jennifer closed her laptop, took the canteen meal pass, packed her things, and was ready to leave.

The phone on the table suddenly rang and it was an internal call.

Rose put on a sad face, unwilling to answer the phone.

"Looking for me?"

"..."

"Alright, I'm coming..."

Hanging up the phone, Rose stuffed her meal pass into Jennifer's hand. "Help me get some fried chicken. Someone is looking for me downstairs. I'll go and have a look. I'll meet you in the canteen in ten minutes."

"Hey, maybe I shouldn't buy for you first? What if you don't come back?"

"No, if I get stuck there for a while, the fried chicken will sell out."

Rose also hung her bag around Jennifer's neck. "Wait for me. Ten minutes."

After saying that, she sprinted towards the elevator.

Jennifer smiled resignedly and walked to the canteen. As soon as she walked into the canteen, her phone in her pocket rang.

Rose was incoherent on the other end of the phone. "You... you... don't go to the canteen. Come to the front door and send me my bag..."

Jennifer looked at the food in the canteen that was so close to her, touched her hungry belly helplessly, and couldn't help complaining, "I told you to take your bag with you. I'm blaming you if the fried chicken is gone..."

As if she had heard a joke, Rose cackled on the other end of the phone. "Just come here, hahaha, forget about the fried chicken... Don't hang up the phone. I'm afraid you can't find me."

At the entrance of the Joy Group.

Jennifer was holding two bags in her hands. She looked for Rose for a long time at the entrance but she didn't see anyone.

Suddenly, Rose's voice came from her earphones. "Go straight to the side of the road from where you are, turn right and then go straight."

"What are you doing?" Jennifer was at a loss, but she had to follow her orders.

She could hear Rose's overly excited voice from her earphones and she couldn't stand it. She walked into a remote path after making a big detour around the whole Joy Group.

"You'll be there after you go through the alley."

When she got out of the alley, there were very few people on the road. This was the back door of the Joy Group. It was a blind spot in the business district. People who lived there were mostly old people who had been there since before it became the business district.

The only thing that looked out of the ordinary on the street was the royal blue sports car parked by the roadside.

It looked very familiar to Jennifer.

"Did you see a sports car on the roadside when you come out of the alley? Come straight over and get in the car."

Jennifer walked along the road towards the car dubiously.

"I saw you!" Rose shouted in the earphone. Jennifer trembled and almost dropped her phone.

The back door of the sports car suddenly opened, and Rose pulled her in without giving her any time to react.

"What are you doing? You're so mysterious..."

Jennifer complained. Before she could finish her sentence, she glanced at the man sitting in the driver's seat at the front. From the rearview mirror, she could only see that he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, covering himself up very tightly.
