At this moment, Jordan had just arrived at the office too.
Yesterday, he and Victoria had some drinks at a Japanese restaurant near Golden Pavilion, but nothing happened between them, and they quickly went back to work.
“Good morning, Mr. Steele.”
“Good morning, Mr. Steele.”
The employees of the company all greeted Jordan respectfully when they saw him.
At this juncture, Jordan received a call from Drew.
Jordan frowned and answered the call.
Drew ordered, “Jordan, come to my grandmother’s place immediately. I’ve found evidence of you selling the watch that you stole from us!”
Jordan said, “I’m too busy for that.”
Drew urged impatiently, “Jordan Steele, are you too scared to come? We’ve invited the person who bought the watch from you to our place. If you have some guts, come here and confront him face to face!”
Jordan was a little puzzled because he didn’t sell any watches. So, where did Drew get the witness from?
Drew said again, “It won’t take you that long. Just a couple of minutes will do. Miss Clarke will be in the office in the morning. She doesn’t need your protection during this time slot. So hurry up and come.”
Jordan initially didn’t want to go to the Camdens’ place again, but he didn’t want them to get the wrong idea and think he had stolen from them.
“Okay then, I’ll make a trip there and settle this matter, lest you people keep bothering me.”
Jordan hung up and then said to Ashley, “Miss Rose, you can drive, right? Take me to the Camdens’ villa.”
“Yes!” Ashley Rose immediately put down the documents in her hand, grabbed the car keys, and took the initiative to press the elevator button for Jordan. They then boarded the elevator all the way to the underground parking lot.
As Victoria’s personal secretary, Ashley drew a monthly salary of quite a few thousand dollars, including commissions. She owned an Audi A3.
However, this time, Ashley drove the company’s car, a Mercedes Benz S600, because she was sending Jordan, the rightful boss of the corporation, to his destination. That was the car that they would usually use when attending formal events or picking up clients.
However, Jordan didn’t like that car because he felt it wasn’t suitable for his age. So he decided that he would free up some time to purchase a vehicle of his own.
Ashley sat in the driver’s seat while Jordan took the backseat. Ashley drove relatively smoothly and quickly. However, throughout the journey, she would occasionally steal a glance at Jordan through the rearview mirror.
‘This is so infuriating. Why does Mr. Steele takes the backseat all the time?’
Ashley thought to herself secretly. Recently, she considered leaving her position as Victoria’s secretary, in order to become Jordan’s personal assistant. In this way, she would have more opportunities to become close to Jordan.
More than thirty minutes later, Jordan arrived at the gate of Old Mrs. Camden’s villa.
At this moment, Drew, Elle, Hailey, and others were standing at the entrance and waiting for Jordan.
When they saw the ostentatious car that cost more than $100,000, they were all stunned.
They then saw Ashley getting out from the driver’s side before quickly going to the backseat to open the door for Jordan.
They continued to watch as Jordan alighted from the car, clad in a suit.
“Miss Rose, wait for me here,” Jordan instructed, as he buttoned his blazer.
“Yes.” Ashley bent forward and nodded respectfully.
Jordan then walked towards the door of the villa.
When Drew saw Jordan, he laughed out loud and mocked, “Hahaha, Jordan, you’re so good at pretending to be a boss. Fancy you getting Miss Rose to drive you here and open the door for you. How much money did you pay her?”
