Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 72

She did not do anything the whole day when she skipped class. She just took out all the pocket money she had saved, held it in her arms in a daze, and slept the whole day.

Later when Stephanie came home and held her in her arms. She felt very sorry for her.

"Jennifer, don't cry. I've thought about sending you abroad. I still have some savings and I know a guy who is very nice to me. I'll ask him for help."

Everyone in the school knew about her and Jackson's young love. When the Whitney Family heard about it, Jackson's mother even purposely made an appointment with Stephanie. Stephanie could tell at a glance what kind of obstacles there were between the two children.

Jennifer raised her head from Stephanie's arms and looked at her mother with her teary eyes. Her mother was noticeably much haggard after working hard the past several days. She dried her tears and whimpered.

"Mom, I don't want to go abroad. I just... I promised Jackson to buy him a birthday present. I'm 10 dollars short. Can you give me next month's pocket money in advance?"

...

Later, she would occasionally wonder if her father hadn't passed away, and if her family had been doing well financially, then maybe she would have gone abroad with Jackson back then. But as she grew older, she thought about it less and less. When she looked back at the relationship now with her current age and experience, she somehow agreed with Jackson's mother's opinion.

At least back then, she and Jackson were not suitable for each other.

When she got out of the car, Jennifer pulled out her hand from Jackson's hand little by little and turned back to remind Bastain.

"After he wakes up, tell him that he has to move on at some point. Actually, I didn't suffer as much as he thought I did, so he doesn't have to feel so guilty."

At the Miller's family's villa.

Jennifer took off her coat and hung it on the hanger. She changed into her slippers and went straight into the house, which alerted Nancy. She opened the door and came out of her room. She was going to cook supper for her.

"You don't have to, I ate at the company. You should go to bed early."

"It is fine. Mr. Hans also needs to eat when he comes back. How about this, Miss Hunter, you take a shower first and I'll cook. I'll call you when I'm done."

Currently, Nancy was the only servant left in the house, and it seemed that Hans didn't want to hire any more servants. This made her feel a lot more relaxed. There were fewer people in this big house who had their own ulterior motives. It made the house cosier.

An hour later, when Hans got home, he smelled a faint smell of alcohol as soon as he entered the door. He frowned.

"What's that smell?" His cold voice reverberated in the living room.

When Nancy heard his voice, she had just come out of the kitchen while wiping her hands on the apron. Hearing this, she sniffed and was slightly stunned. "Is it rum? I made tiramisu for supper. Mr. Hans, do you want some?"

Hans nodded. His gaze fell on the grey coat on the hanger in the entryway, and he frowned slightly.

Jennifer had just taken a shower and opened the bathroom door. Her wet hair was dripping down on the towel on her shoulder. When she saw Hans, she paused. "You're back?"

Hans's gaze was withdrawn from the coat and he glanced at her. He frowned.

"You should stand there for a little longer. The floor is not wet enough."

"Who taught her to just walk out after taking a shower without drying her hair first? No wonder she's always catching a cold." Hans thought.

Jennifer froze for a moment. She quickly pulled down the towel around her neck and returned to her room while drying her hair. "I'm going to dry it..."

Ten minutes later, Jennifer returned to the dining table with her soft hair. Her hair was much smoother after she dried it. She also looked younger than usual without her makeup, and her eyes made her look exceptionally pure.

Hans lowered his head and ate supper. He looked up at her and saw that she was eating fast, her plate of tiramisu was almost gone.

"No one is going to take your food away, why are you eating so fast? Do you have anything else to do tonight?"
