Sweet Love novel Chapter 20

Yusef realizes Macy has been standing aside until he finishes the documents. He closes the folder and asks, “Have you met Miss Sue?”

It must be Yolanda Sue.

“We just met in the pantry” Macy answers honestly.

“She is in charge of assigning daily tasks for you. You are directly at my disposal. You later go and ask her for my schedule and come to a meeting with me. I’m going to talk about the South Sea Project with the managerial board. You will be responsible of taking the meeting moments.”

“Alright.”

Macy answers. Yusef grabs his suit and covers himself upon standing up. He walks out of the office.

Macy follows. But Yusef stops at the doorway suddenly. Macy doesn’t react timely and bumps into Yusef’s back.

“Sorry! Mr. Penn!”

Macy apologizes before she can have the chance to rub her forehead.

Yusef stares at her for a few seconds and touches her chin.

Macy gets nervous but she has to look at Yusef’s deep bright eyes. She can’t see his emotions.

“Macy Downey, remember. A good secretary doesn’t only have one expression.”

“I got it.”

She certainly has no experience working as a secretary. To be more specific, she has worked at the Downey’s after graduation. She is not good at business area and doesn’t have other working experience.

“At least, you have to smile at me.” Yusef suddenly pinches her cheeks.

Macy doesn’t know what to do. That man loosens his fingers and turns over to open the door.

Walking behind him, Macy thinks about what he said and practices smiling.

In the conference room, people have sat by the oval meeting table to its full. Only the position in the front middle is left.

All the presented staffs today are the managerial staff. Eliot is among them. He skims through the proposal for the South Sea Project, feeling a bit depressed.

Ever since he has met Macy Downey this morning, she has been lingering in his mind. He feels angry every time he thinks Yusef let her work at the Penn’s.

The door to the conference room is opened; Yusef walks in with an aura of elite. All the people straighten their upper body and stop discussion upon his arrival.

Eliot has a glimpse at him. At the moment when he is about to withdraw his gaze, he accidentally finds a slender figure in his sight.

He turns his head and sees Yusef and Macy walking together inside. She is holding a note taking pad, and looks like a professional secretary.

He frowns and looks at the woman over and over again.

Is she working for Yusef as a secretary? He suddenly recalls the hickey on her neck at the villa.
