The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 305

Jessica thought it wasn't good for this idiot to be idle all day. She had to find him something to do—a means to test his abilities and keep him busy so he wouldn’t charm other pretty girls. In her mind, the plan was perfect.

Monday.

Although Jessica had assigned Daniel a job, he was lazy and didn’t show up in the office until eleven in the morning. Since he had skipped breakfast, he grabbed himself a wrap, a glass of milk and a bagel, and was enjoying his belated morning meal in the office.

Suddenly, the partially closed office door was flung open with a bang. In came Brittany, a force of nature.

"Country bumpkin, still eating breakfast? Do you even know what time it is? You're late, do you get that? Also, since when is the office a place for eating breakfast?"

"This wrap is delicious, wanna bite?" Daniel offered enthusiastically, only to receive an eye-roll from Brittany.

"Get out of here! I'm on a diet! Clean up this office now! Tidy up your desk and then sit tight while I assign you tasks!"

"You’re assigning tasks? What tasks? Besides, I'm Jessica’s assistant, not yours. Why would you be giving me tasks?"

"Why? Because now, I'm your boss!"

"You're my boss? What kind of boss?"

"Did Jessica or did Jessica not entrust you with 'The Concubine' project? She told you to handle it! She talked to me this morning and asked me to be your boss for this project. So, starting now, you do what I say. Whatever I ask you to do, you do it!"
