Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 39

Rose came out of the office and happened to see James. She didn't have a good impression of James because of Hans. Moreover, she thought that she was likely to get fired after what she did, so she wasn't in a good mood. When James looked at her, she rolled her eyes at him.

Jennifer was sitting in the secretary office. In her notebook was the stock trend of the day for Joy Group and a few other media companies. She was taking notes with her head down. She was so focused on her work that if you ignored her swollen eyes, it was as if she wasn't just being bullied.

Rose sighed. Why was she the one more anxious than Jennifer?

"Jennifer, what are you going to do in the future?"

Jennifer didn't look up as if trying to cover up her pale face. She said lightly, "Continue working and living."

"I'm asking about you and Hans. Didn't you say you're going to cut ties with him?"

Rose slammed her hands on the desk imposingly. "Don't tell me you changed your mind. You have to be insistent when you want to cut ties, it's not like he can kidnap you!"

Jennifer felt her temples twitch. She was unwilling to talk about this now. When she heard Hans's name, she felt her legs go limp and couldn't help clenching her fingers forcefully with her fingertips.

The pencil broke and the tip landed on the folder at the side. It spun around a few times before sliding down and landing on the floor. Then, it rolled to the corner.

Seeing that she looked at the pen in silence, Rose anxiously said, "Hey, I stacked my career on this and you are still so indecisive! Are you trying to piss me off?"

Jennifer was in a daze, she spoke after a long time.

"People can always cut ties if they want to. If they can't break it, they probably just don't want to."

She was still looking at the pen like she was talking to herself.

Rose was not good at language. She hated all these artsy things since she was a child. She was confused by what Jennifer said and she looked impatient.

"What's that? You are just thinking too much. In my opinion, the two of you are just looking for trouble. If you don't cause any trouble every day, both of you will feel uncomfortable..."

Thinking of how she was about to lose her job because of this but Jennifer was still the same as before, being abused by Hans willingly, Rose felt that it was not worth risking her job to stand up for Jennifer. She was contemplating to rush into the office and apologized to Hans to save her job.

As they were talking, someone knocked on the glass door of the secretary's office.

Rose and Jennifer looked up and saw Scott, the deputy manager of the HR department, standing at the door with a document in his arms. He was dressed in a suit, looking handsome and well-dressed.

Rose froze. "I just shouted at Hans and now HR is already here to talk about my resignation?

"His is too revengeful." Rose thought.

"Secretary Jennifer, Secretary Rose, we have already emailed every department about the personnel resignation notice..."

"Wait a minute..." Rose interrupted Scott. "I need to be mentally prepared."

Scott was taken aback. "You... need to be mentally prepared? This..."
