The bathroom door slowly pulled open. It was not loud, but it sounded deafening to Rose. She bought Jennifer a white dress with V-necks and a black blazer. The neckline was not very revealing, but even as Jennifer covered her chest with an open palm, she still could not cover the many bruises.
"Having sex might leave some marks, but what is it with so many bruises?
"This man has gone crazy, how could he be so aggressive?" Rose thought.
"Hans, are you crazy?" Rose immediately turned towards the coffee table and shouted at Hans.
"Rose, I... am fine."
There was a faint voice behind her.
Rose still wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Jennifer. "Let's go, we still have work to do."
"F*ck work..." Rose was really irritated today. Seeing Jennifer's timid look, she got even angrier. When she was about to argue with Hans, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The cleaner came in and looked at them dubiously.
"Mr. Hans, Mr. James asked me to clean here."
"Hm." Hans snorted indifferently.
Rose felt her wrist lightened and Jennifer had already run out with her head down. She staggered and swayed as if she could fall at any moment.
Looking at the back of Jennifer, Rose's eyes turned red.
"Please go out for a while, I have something to say to Mr. Hans."
The cleaner glanced at Rose in surprise, and then looked at Hans as if asking for his permission.
Hans frowned and was about to say no when Rose add.
"It's necessary for me to give you an explanation for what happened last night. I should also let you know what you've missed or what you've misunderstood."
Her words were vague. The cleaner was scared to death upon hearing that. She had worked there for a long time and she had never seen anyone talk to Mr. Hans like this. This secretary must be crazy.
Hans glanced at her and she hurried out of the office.
After the cleaner left, Rose stood there with a cold face. She clenched her fist to give herself confidence and asked coldly, "Why do you treat Jennifer like this? You know that the person she cares about most in the world is you. You are her only family now."
Hearing this, Hans stared at her with a little contempt. "Oh? She cares about me the most? Did she stay out all night last night for me? Did she cut ties with me this morning for me too?"
Rose was stunned for a moment. Firstly, she was surprised that Hans had misunderstood what happened last night, which meant he still cared about her. Secondly, if Jennifer dared to say such words to Hans, she must have suffered a lot. Rose couldn't help but feel even more furious.
"Hans, don't think that you can just do whatever you want because you are rich. Just because she didn't go home last night doesn't mean that she met her old lover. Where were you when she was attacked by Jackson's fans in front of the office? Where were you when she came to my house in the rain and had a fever all night? She cuts ties with you? You motherf*cker, if she doesn't cut ties with you then what else should she do? Cut herself?"
When he heard that Jennifer was at Rose's house, Hans's playful expression froze. The more he listened, the darker his face became. His cold eyes glanced at Rose as if he didn't believe her. He clenched his fingers and said,
"Lying for your friend to help her, your friendship is really touching."
Hans glanced at him emotionlessly.
"It's alright, ask her to clean it after work."
James nodded in a daze. The office was a mess, there was nowhere to look at. He saw a pile of documents at the corner of the table, which was the one he sent in the morning, so he picked them up.
Hans had already signed it. James opened the black folder and saw this sentence clearly.
"Termination letter for gross negligence. Jane Maddow, assistant of the Finance Department."
James glanced at Hans. He was sitting on the sofa with his laptop, but he was clearly absent-minded. James wondered what he was thinking.
"Mr. Hans, Jane, the assistant of the finance department still doesn't know that she had been fired. Should I make a call to inform her before the announcement is released?"
Last time, Hans gave her a week off and she went home happily with the subsidy she got from the financial department. When she signed, she didn't even notice that it was a termination subsidy. If they didn't inform her, she would probably still come to work happily next Monday.
Hans didn't reply to his question.
James reminded carefully, "Mr. Hans?"
Hans came to his senses and glanced at him emotionlessly as if he didn't hear what James just said, he only replied,
"It's up to you."
