His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 57

"David..." Autumn felt uneasy to be called Mrs. Lu. She frowned and said, "Just call me Ye..."

After hesitating for a while, David responded, "It's..." 'Charles didn't want anyone in the company to know that she is his wife. It seems improper to call her Mrs. Lu.' David thought. Then, he nodded a yes and called, "Ye."

Hearing this, Autumn felt relieved and asked with a bright smile, "What's my duty here as the secretary of Mr. Lu?"

David flurried and replied, "Well... Listen to Mr. Lu's orders. Do whatever he asks you to do." He didn't dare assign tasks to Autumn. After all, she was Charles's wife. 'If I displease her, Charles would blame me for it.

Besides, Charles hasn't set up a post for personal secretary in the company. No one knows why he brought his wife in the company.' David reflected.

David took Autumn to the Secretary Department. There were two girls in the office. With Autumn and David, Charles had four secretaries in total. David said, "Your attention please..." He introduced Autumn to the two girls, "This is the personal secretary of Mr. Lu, Yvonne. You can call her... Ye."

'I can't call her Mrs. Lu as Charles doesn't want anyone in the company to know they are married.' David thought.

Autumn stood in front of the girls and introduced herself, "Hello, everyone. I'm Ye. I hope that we can get along well in the coming days."

"David, I don't think that Mr. Lu employed her to be his secretary. She looks more like..." At the sight of Autumn, the two young pretty secretaries became alert and restless. They decided to unite and be against Autumn. One girl said, "She is good-looking, but I'm not sure if she is a qualified secretary. Don't ask us to handle the trouble she makes later."

The other girl followed her and said, "Don't get us into trouble." The first girl grumbled while retouching her make-up, "We already have lots to deal with. We don't want someone else to come and affect our work."

David was furious. He shouted, "Shut up!" 'You're speaking ill of Mrs. Lu in front of her. Even I dare not to displease her.' He thought to himself. He turned to Autumn and said, "Ye, don't take their words seriously. They always talk in that mean manner, but they're good girls."

David told Autumn that the girl who had spoken first was Jenny and the girl who was doing her make-up was Linda. Both of them had graduated from first-rate colleges. They always thought of themselves as superior to others for they took pride in their education background and pretty faces. But they didn't like each other.

But as Autumn arrived, they started to treat her as their enemy.

David led Autumn to the seat opposite to him, and said, "Ye, this is your desk." Autumn nodded slightly. Before she sat down, Jenny told David, "David, that's for the secretary of CEO. We wouldn't mind if you sit there. But she can't. She can't take that seat as soon as she enters the company."

"Why not?" David had always entertained them, but not today. He continued, "Just mind your own business. It's not your call to decide who sits here."

Hearing this, Linda frowned. She stared at Autumn with dissatisfaction and said, "David, what's your relationship with her? Why do you speak in favor of her?"

She curled her lip and complained, "Both Jenny and I graduated from first-rate colleges. Besides, we have worked for Mr. Lu for long. Why can she sit there but Jenny and I can't? Is it only because she is more good-looking than us?"

The seat that David had arranged for Autumn was closer to Charles's office. The person who sat there could get more of Charles's attention. To get that seat, Jenny and Linda had made great efforts but failed. Now a new face showed up and took that seat. How could they not be jealous?

Jenny twitched her mouth and continued, "None of us can take that seat."
