Sweet Love novel Chapter 22

Macy stops walking, turns around and finds Yolanda Sue stands behind her. Yolanda is holding a cup in her hand, as if she had just been to the tearoom.

“Secretary Sue, now I need to go downstairs to deal with some necessary things. I will be back soon." she answers with a faint smile.

Yolanda raises her eyebrows, "Official or private?"

Clenching tight the money in her hand, Macy hesitates for a moment but still answered truthfully, "Private affairs."

"Geez." Yolanda utters a snorting laugh, "you know that the Penn’s doesn't need idlers, don’t you? If you always handle these personal matters during working hours, there will be no need, I think, for the company to hire you anymore.

Yolanda really doesn't mince her words. Just then the elevator cabin arrives by coincidence, and she barricades the door suddenly, looking coldly at Macy, "Go back!"

Without saying anything, Macy looks away, with a frown on her face. Anyway, what Yolanda said is reasonable as well.

As Macy walks towards her office, suddenly, she feels something burns her shank. Macy turns and finds some hot tea steaming is on the floor behind her.

"Sorry, I just accidentally sprinkled the water." Yolanda apologizes immediately, but it’s not hard to notice a feeling of satisfaction in her eyes.

Macy grits her teeth secretly, pretending to be calm and smiling at Yolanda, "That’s all right."

Yolanda at once says unkindly, "Great! Then you’d better mop the floor now."

Stunned, Macy stares back at Yolanda, "Don’t we have cleaners in the company?"

"This floor is one of the most important areas of our company; therefore, the cleaner is not allowed to come here during working hours. Now the tea is all over the place... What if some managers who come here to report vital information to Mr. Penn tumble over?" Yolanda flicks her hair, "By the way, the mop is in the tearoom."

Macy is reduced to silence.

Having her, a secretary of the boss, mop the floor, Yolanda does show no respect. However, considering that Yolanda is her senior, if she fails to bear with such insults now, what else can she do in the future?

Macy smoothly takes the comforts from that fact and replies lightly, "Secretary Sue, you could leave if you are busy now. I'll take care of everything."

Without hesitation, Macy goes straight to the tearoom and then walks out with a sponge mop.

She makes a ponytail hastily, rolls up her sleeves, and starts to mop the floor earnestly.

Yolanda looks a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the daughter of the Downey family is so gentle that she just acted in obedience to these unreasonable demands.

Nearby, Yusef is always standing in the doorway of the president's office and witnessing this scene. The girl bows her head, mops the floor earnestly, and bends down, revealing her neck which is as smooth as jade...

Feeling his heart tighten, Yusef’s gaze can’t help being more intense.

In fact, he was here from the beginning that Yolanda put her in a terrible quandary, but he didn’t expect her to be so patient, either.

Yusef breaks the silence by cleaning his throat suddenly. Yolanda hastens to look back; as she sees Yusef standing at the door, there is the panic rising in her eyes.

"Mr. Penn..."

She glances at Macy, who is still mopping the floor, and hurriedly walks towards Yusef, "I am just..."

Yusef racks her brains to consider some possible answers. After all, there is no reason for a secretary to do this kind of rough work at the Penn’s. Her motives are too obvious to be ignored, anyway.

Yusef smiles and makes up an excuse for her, "Training new employees?"

She immediately responses, “Yes, training new employees!"

Presently Macy hears the sound of that man, but she doesn't raise her head, continuing to mop the floor. Not only does she clean the place where the water had just been sprinkled, but she also shines all areas nearby.

Realizing that Macy remains unmoved by their conversation, somehow, Yusef gets a complicated feeling. He grabs a tie on the hanger and hands it to Yolanda.
