A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 688

Sylvie went into the office, following Marley.

"Mr Hughes, what's the matter?"

"Sylvie, do you know I give you the consent being my secretary?" asked Marley, who went to the chair and sat down.

Sylvie shook her head, not knowing what he was going to say. In fact, she always thought that this was an agreement between him and Mr Mccarthy. She came to work as a secretary just to better cooperate with Marley and not give him any trouble, and just hoped that the contractual marriage would end soon, which were the reasons she would agree so readily.

"I heard you studied at Harvard for four years!" he said instead of going straight to the point.

"Yes!" Sylvie nodded.

"Majored in MBA?" Marley asked in disdain.

"Well, sort of.” MBA was just one of her two degrees. In order to study architectural design, she minored in MBA. In this way, she could avoid Sadie and repay the kindness given by Mr Mccarthy.

She thought that maybe she was eager for family affection in her heart, so she agreed to him. Fortunately, Mr Mccarthy did not force her to major in MBA, which was a small part of the reason for her compromise.

Marley said, "Frankly speaking, you are not suitable to be a secretary. You are not from this professional background, and I like to work with a clear distinction between public and private. We are a couple now. Of course, I can't guarantee whether we will divorce in the future. But you can rest assured that I will not make things difficult for you, but I am very strict. Do you have the confidence to be a good secretary?"

"I think I can learn!"

"Secretary Sylvie, I want a positive answer! Yes or no?"

"Yes!" Sylvie was inspired.

"You can't find any excuse for your mistakes, understand?"

"Yes!”

"I hope you don't use your identity to do things under the name of Mccarthy Group or Marley's, and act arrogantly behind my back! Never think that you can take advantage of this position to gain any personal benefits. To make it clear, I don't want to deal with any disputes for you. Remember you are a secretary. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Sylvie said.

"Well, since you have taken MBA as a subsidiary subject at Harvard, you must understand the rules. In business, you can only keep the company's affairs in your mind. You don't have to tell others. Besides, I don't want you to gossip like other women. I hope that what you see and hear from me will be kept to yourself. If you let me know that you have violated these regulations, you will have to leave! Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes! Don't worry, Mr Hughes. I understand business rules. I won't say a word about business secrets. If you don't have anything else to tell me, I'm going to work outside."

"Wait, you make me a cup of coffee!"

"I..." Sylvie hesitated.

"Well? Do you have any doubts?"

"No, I'll be right there!" In fact, she didn’t know how to make coffee at all. She enjoyed drinking tea, especially green tea, which was healthy. But she thought that there were coffee machines in big companies, so that staffs should be able to drink coffee. Besides, she saw the coffee machine in the tea room yesterday.

When she came back with a cup of instant coffee, Marley took it up and drank it. Then he suddenly stopped, frowned and vomited in the cup. “Instant coffee?” he asked.

Sylvie was stunned and nodded honestly.

"Secretary Sylvie, I don't want instant coffee! You can't make coffee?"

"I'm sorry!" Sylvie admitted, “I never drink coffee, so I don’t know how to make it!"

"What do you drink?" Marley raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Green tea! Or plain water,” Sylvie replied.

"Secretary Sylvie, I forgive you this time. I hope I can have a more authentic black coffee next time I need coffee! Remember, I only drink black coffee!"

"Yes.”

"Make a cup of tea."

"Yes.”

Sylvie had lots of tea. She liked Huang Shan Mao Feng Tea, West Lake Longjing Tea, Biluochun Tea and Taiping Houkui Tea. She liked all kinds of green tea. Among them, Huang Shan Mao Feng Tea was her favorite. It was of good quality, looked like a sparrow tongue, even and sturdy. The tip of it was as white as ivory. With delicate fragrance, and clear and bright liquor color, it tasted fresh, mellow and sweet, The bottom of the leaves was bright yellow, very beautiful!

She had a good commanding of making tea, which could be as clear and beautiful as mountains and rivers.

When she came back, Marley took a sip of green tea, then frowned and relaxed. He looked up at her. At the moment when her eyes met, Sylvie found that she was expecting something and wanted to know how he felt when he drank Mao Feng Tea.

He gave her a deep look, which implied many complex emotions that she could not understand.

"Get out!" he suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Well!" Sylvie realized that her behaviors was inappropriate. She got excited and immediately avoided his unpredictable eyes in embarrassment... At the same time, she said quickly, "Yes!"

Sylvie was enriched by a busy day. Several stranded major projects were put into operation again because of Cassius's capital injection.
