The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1036

Blake checked the time and saw it was nine o'clock in the morning. She closed her eyes lying down as she said, "I'll take a short nap for half an hour. Wake me up if there's something!"

As soon as she finished saying that, Kevin, dressed in a black suit, walked into the office. He was holding a stack of documents with one hand and the other tucked in his pocket.

Blake had fallen asleep by the time Kevin entered the office. She heard nothing but the faint sound of footsteps.

Kevin's presence usually set everyone in the entire secretary's office on edge, except for Blake. Only she dared to nap during working hours.

Blake's colleagues were amazed that she was not afraid even though Kevin was in the office. Since Blake was under Cecilia, the others believed that despite Blake's position in the secretary's office, she shared a certain level of authority with Kevin.

The staff in the secretary's office found Cecilia was as scary as Zach. They sympathized with Blake as she bore the brunt of Cecilia's temper.

Blake was so bold because Cecilia would not be in the office early morning, and Cecilia seldom looked for her.

When Susan passed by Blake's desk to enter Kevin's office, she frowned at the sleeping figure but said nothing.

After Susan briefed Kevin on the day's schedule, she went on to do other tasks. When she returned at half past eleven, she was surprised to find Blake still snoozing. Susan was annoyed with it as she thought, 'No one else in the entire Jardin Corporation is as free as Blake is.'

Susan then timidly said to Kevin, "Mr. Harrison, Blake is still sleeping."

Unexpectedly, Blake slept until lunchtime.

Janice patted Blake and said, "Blake, wake up! Everyone's gone for lunch."

Blake woke up and lifted her head. She looked very groggy as she glanced around, asking, "What time is it?"

"Lunchtime!" Janice replied, glancing nervously at Kevin in his office. His cold gaze frightened her as she said, "I'll meet you in the cafeteria."

Blake freshened up herself and headed to the pantry for coffee. She suddenly recalled her days as Kevin's assistant and decided to grab an extra cup for him. With the office empty, she slipped into Kevin's office.

She then settled in Kevin's chair while he was still on the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was completely unaware of Blake who was behind him. She moved the chair a little as she carefully examined the desk.
