My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 45

Jasper looked coldly at Edith. When he saw the worried look in her eyes, he frowned. "After all, she's Yvette's cousin. I've got to show her some mercy. By the way, you don't seem too well these days. You can take a break from tomorrow on."

Edith had been Jasper’s secretary for many years. She had always performed her duties professionally. All this while, she had kept her emotions hidden and had never once crossed the line.

Over the past two days, however, Edith had made frequent mistakes. It was either letting random kids into the CEO's office to wreak havoc or revealing her emotions which were neither elegant nor polite.

Jasper needed highly capable and professional people around him to do his bidding.

The way a secretary was evaluated was based on her ability to remain calm under stress and whether she could stay indifferent yet polite.

If his employee were to constantly exhibit strong emotions on the job, he would rather not keep such an employee around.

Edith wanted to say something, but she knew from the cold expression on Jasper's face that he would soon get angry.

Saying anything further would only make Jasper feel more annoyed.

Edith could only bite her tongue and nod before turning around and making an exit. Despite returning to her office, she still couldn't calm herself down after a long while.

Did Jasper really only show Willow mercy and let her stay because she was Yvette's cousin?

The more Edith pondered on this, the more afraid she felt. There was an increasing sense of danger.

Willow had only come to Hughes Corporation for a few days, and Mr. Hughes had already broken so many rules for her.

Willow certainly had many tricks up her sleeve.

After leaving the CEO's office, Willow went to the sanitation department. She told her manager that she wanted to take half the day off to rest.
