Chapter 168
“You’ve been working for Isaac for a while now, so you should know his favorite food. Can you tell me about it?” Kathy smiled.
Stan, however, was wary–she addressed Isaac on a first–name basis, and not by ‘Mr. Jefferson.
“Why bother asking? You know that Mr. Jefferson married Ms. Spencer, who just left.”
Stan was certainly sharp enough to tell what Kathy was up to the instant she asked, and weighed down on ‘Mr. Jefferson‘–he was telling her to know her place as an employee, and not get out of line!
Kathy murmured meekly, “I’m just…”
“You’re here to work, so do your job and quit messing around. Have some dignity as a woman, and don’t lust after a married man!” Stan warned her, and turned to leave.
Kathy’s innocent expression turned to a hateful glare–in her opinion, he was meddling in her business.
A mere assistant, talking to her like that?
Her hands clenched into knuckles at her sides as her desire to become Mrs. Jefferson became even stronger!
One day, she would have Stan address her respectfully as Mrs. Jefferson!
After leaving the building, Stan drove straight to Spencer Holdings.
Irene was sitting in her office, and there were stacks of documents covering her desk. She barely understood most of it, since she lacked knowledge in the field and the jargon used.
She was at her wit’s end when someone knocked on her door.
“Come in,” she said.
Her secretary opened the door, saying, “Ms. Spencer? This gentleman is here to see you.”
Irene rose to her feet when she saw that it was Stan, and said, “Let him in. You may get back to work.”
As Stan entered and saw the documents on her table, he asked, “Not used to your new job?”
Irene nodded.
