My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Make the Most of Your Opportunity

Seeing the widespread video early in the morning, Beck was awkward and furious when he arrived at the company. Many of the Miller Group’s employees also browsed that trending topic and talked about it, but they stopped talking and continued their work when they saw Beck coming over with a dark face.

As soon as Beck came, the PR manager wiped the sweat on his forehead and went up to him. “Mr. Miller, we have dealt with that trending topic. Don’t worry. The netizens will forget about it in a few days.”

Only then did Beck’s mood improve slightly. He nodded and strode toward his office. As he opened the door, a young woman hurried out of the room and suddenly hit him, making the documents in her hands scatter all over the floor.

She bent down to apologize, and her lowering face was full of guilt. “Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t see you.

I’m so sorry.”

The PR manager was shocked and glanced cautiously at Beck. Seeing his expression was not good, he, immediately scolded, “Vanessa, are you blind? Do you know who you bumped? He is Mr. Miller.”

The girl named Vanessa quickly raised her head. As soon as she saw Beck’s tightly furrowed eyebrows, her face turned pale with fright. She had a very gentle look. The rims of her eyes were reddish after she was frightened, with tears welling up.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Miller. I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry.”

Beck was initially extremely impatient and on the verge of an explosion, but after seeing Vanessa’s face, his anger disappeared instantly as a ball punctured.

Vanessa was not particularly beautiful, but her gentle and elegant temperament was similar to Lynn’s. When she looked pitifully at him with a pale face, Beck’s memory of helpless Lynn at the train station was evoked.

Beck was touched and gently asked as though he was casual, “Which department do you belong to? Why haven’t I seen you in the company before.”

Seeing him talking to her, Vanessa felt her thin body trembling. “My name is Vanessa Haley, and today is the first day I joined the company. I’m… I’m your assistant.”

The PR manager also explained, “Didn’t your previous assistant leave the job when some changes happened to the company? The HR recruited a new one. Although she doesn’t have a strong resume and experience, she is serious and careful in doing things.”

Beck didn’t speak and looked at Vanessa carefully.

Vanessa felt somewhat uneasy and looked at Beck cautiously. “Mr. Miller, I really didn’t mean it today. I was in a hurry to send documents to other departments, so I accidentally bumped you. Please don’t fire me!”

Seeing her timidity, Beck was a little disappointed. Although she had a gentle temperament similar to Lynn’s, she was still much worse than Lynn.

“Pick up the documents.” After saying it, Beck strode inside.

The PR manager heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and said to Vanessa, “It’s okay. You are fortunate. He was

bad–tempered today, but I didn’t expect him not to punish you.”

Vanessa smiled and squatted down to pick up all the scattered documents. She lowered her head, and there was no expression on her gentle and innocent face. All her pitiful and scared look had gone.

After delivering the documents, Vanessa came to her workstation outside Beck’s office, and she could see his desk when she looked up.

Beck was staring at his computer with furrowing brows as if he was on the edge of anger.

Although the previous video on Twitter was deleted, some netizens took screenshots or saved the video for the first time. Many people still talked about what had happened this morning on the Internet, and even some of Beck’s business partners came over to ask him.

Beck, a man of paying attention to face–saving, felt so furious that he seemed to go mad. He snorted coldly, slammed the mouse on the table, and sighed deeply, leaning against the back of the chair.

Hearing the clicking sound of high heels, Beck sat up, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table.

He looked up and saw Vanessa smiling at him softly. “Mr. Miller, it’s rather cold today. I saw you just came in from outside. Please drink a cup of tea to warm your body.”

She should know why he was angry, but she never mentioned it. Thinking of it, Beck felt touched. He took a sip of tea. The tea had a perfect temperature and a strong aroma. Beck couldn’t help but praise her for being good at making tea.

Vanessa didn’t leave and kept looking at him, fingers grabbing her skirt nervously. The shyness and

innocence unique to young girls suddenly hit Beck.

He paused and asked with a gentle smile, “The tea tastes great!”

Vanessa’s eyes lit up suddenly, and her smile was sweet and gentle. “I’m so glad to hear your praise! Mr. Miller, I’m back to work. If you need anything, just let me know.”

After speaking, she left quickly, and her steps were very brisk.

Stroking the wall of the cup, Beck smiled with his lowering head and couldn’t help but feel a secret joy.

At noon, Vanessa was about to go out for lunch. As she left her desk, Beck walked out and couldn’t help but

smile when he saw her. “Vanessa, are you going for lunch?”

“Yes!” With a smile, Vanessa squeezed her phone tightly and said, “I’m going to the staff cafeteria. I’m a little

curious about the food this noon.”
