Monica sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, she looked slender. If Jennifer were a man, she would not be able to look away.
She looked at Jennifer and asked curiously, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Jennifer's face.
"Miss Monica, I don't think we are close enough to talk about this."
Monica was not angry either. She smiled knowingly. "I used to suspect that... but now I am relieved. It turns out that you and Jackson are old friends."
Hearing Jackson's name, Jennifer's face froze and she looked at Monica stiffly.
"How did she know?" Jennifer thought.
Looking at her surprised look, Monica tucked back her hair. "You always seemed quite low-key, and you are distant to the company's staff. I thought you and Hans were... Forget it. Since you have someone in mind, I will give you my blessing. You are totally a social climber.
The way she only spoke half her mind made Jennifer frown.
"Miss Monica, why don't you make it clear?"
A noise came from the elevator. It seemed like the board meeting had ended. Hans and his assistant James came back. Monica's expression changed. She stood up from the sofa and gave Jennifer an ambiguous look. "What? You don't watch the news?"
When Hans came back, he saw Monica come out from the secretary's office. Her bright red cloak assaulted his vision and her strong perfume scent made him frown.
"Hans... You finally finished the meeting. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hans's looked coldly through the glass door of the secretary office and saw Jennifer standing behind her desk dejectedly. Their eyes met.
His eyes narrowed. He looked at Monica in displease and said, "Why did you come out from there?"
Monica's joyful expression froze. She was slightly stunned and said cautiously, "I... I saw that you were not here, so I talked to... Secretary Jennifer."
Hans did not pay attention to her explanation. Instead, he looked into the secretary's office at the adept figure. Jennifer already sat down and continued working on the computer within that short time, as if the things happening here had nothing to do with her.
A hint of coldness flashed in Hans's eyes. He looked away and caressed Monica's delicate face with his finger. He tucked her hair and said in a deep voice, "You can come to my office directly in the future. The ventilation is not good out here."
Monica was overjoyed. Hans was rarely so gentle to her. She boldly held his arm and said, "Since you care so much about me, I'd have to think about you too. I was worried that people would gossip!"
Hans did not refuse and glanced at the secretary office. "Secretary Jennifer, don't you know to prepare tea and snacks for the guest. Do you think I haven't deducted enough of your bonus this month?"
Jennifer's face froze, and she stood up from her seat. "I will go to prepare it now."
Looking at their backs side to side, Jennifer felt numb.
Hans was always surrounded by many women. Monica was the most patient and ambitious one. She managed to keep Hans interested in her out of so many other girls. She also got rid of other girls even though she was not officially Hans's girlfriend either. Her love for Hans was quite persistent.
She should prepare some snacks for Monica seeing that Monica helped her get rid of Han's other girls.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Jennifer's mouth.
She was always good at pretending everything was fine, so such a trivial matter was nothing for her.
