Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 53

Jennifer could not figure out whether Hans meant what he said or not. She never thought that Hans would accept others' opinions humbly. He was always conceited.

"Actually there is not much... just that you always look a little angry..."

She lowered her head and carefully observed Hans's reaction with the corner of her eyes.

He lowered his head, eating with a calm face. "Continue."

Jennifer coughed twice and boldly said, "You don't seem to remember the names of the servants before, do you? You just shout for them randomly. Whenever someone did something wrong, all of them will be punished." She looked up at Hans and seeing that he looked calm, she continued.

"Take what happened with the aroma lamp for example. Actually, it was Daisy who stole it. Although other servants might be harbouring her behaviour, you should also figure out why they protected her. Because if someone were to complain to you that someone else was stealing, and you can't remember who was it, you would ask James to dismiss all of them directly. The result would be the same if they wait for you to find out eventually, it's just a matter of time. That's why they..."

"Ahem..." Hans's sudden cough shocked Jennifer, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"I... I just said it casually... "

She looked at Hans, but he didn't look strange. He just took a sip of water from the cup.

"So, sometimes you can change a little when appropriate."

"Okay."

Hans's voice was not loud, but it sounded like he had answered her. She could not quite believe it.

"Actually, we don't need too many servants at home. Nancy can handle it by herself. You also remember her name... and you trust her..."

Hans glanced at her. After she said so much, he finally came to a conclusion. Jennifer must be out of her mind. He looked calm and said, "Whatever you want. If you don't think it's troublesome that there is no one serving you, you don't have to replace the servants."

"I don't think it's troublesome..." Jennifer nodded quickly. "I always thought it was better to have fewer outsiders in the house. If it's possible, we don't even need a servant. When I was at home, there was only one lay who helped cook..."

Hans's face suddenly darkened.

"The home you're talking about, is it the Miller's family or your previous home."

Jennifer was slightly stunned, and the smile on her face froze. "Both... both of them. My mother doesn't like too many servants at home, so..."

Yes, no wonder after Thomas married Stephanie, the servants in the house were inexplicably dismissed. Thinking of this, Hans's face was full of ridicule.

His mother, Alice, came from a rich family. She was used to having servants around, and so was Thomas. So after they got married, the number of servants in the house grew and they all had their own duties. The cook wouldn't help clean and the cleaner wouldn't help running a bath. When Alice was alive, they even hired a girl as a dog sitter.

"Your identity dictates the life you live."

The stiff smile on Jennifer's face disappeared gradually. Although she didn't quite understand what he was saying, it was probably not something nice.

The originally harmonious atmosphere was disrupted by just one sentence. She didn't quite understand what influenced Hans's uncertain temperament. If it was because of what she did six months ago, his reaction would have been overkill.
