Chapter 96 Dennis’s New Secretary
She nodded, with a shallow smile on her face, “Director, thank you very much during this period. I’m sorry about it but this decision is also my own decision.”
Since it had come to this, I didn’t need to say more.
I nodded and said, “Well, you can take the time to send me your resignation letter, and hand over your work.”
She stood in front of me, looked at me and took a very serious bow, turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at me and said, “Director, the George Group’s audit and HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s incident is not as simple as it seems.”
I was taken aback, and before I could ask, she had already left the office.
I have been in a bad state recently. It was easy to forget things, and my thought had been very unclear. I’m aware of the issues around George Group’s audit and HY Technology Co., Ltd. but I’ve no way to dig deeper into it.
Dennis has also been reluctant to talk about work with me at home so I can only put them on hold.
At lunchtime, Dennis called and asked me to go to his office.
It goes without thinking that he wanted me to go up and have lunch with him.
I didn’t know if Dennis did it on purpose. His office interior design was also changed. The plants that were originally placed at the door were replaced with two pots of peacock blue.
Devil’s Ivy and other plants were also placed in the originally empty hall.
Toby packed up his things for lunch and head out. When he saw me, he was slightly taken aback and said, “The president is in the office, Miss Kennedy you may just go in!”
I nodded, glanced at the newly added desk in the office area, and couldn’t help being curious, “Have you added new manpower to the secretarial department?”
Toby didn’t talk much and usually avoided talking whenever possible. He nodded and said, “Yes!”
Since I couldn’t ask anything from him, I didn’t continue and went straight into Dennis’s office.
Dennis was still occupied with work. When he saw me, he motioned that the food was on the table, “You eat first, I’ll be done in a while.”
I nodded and noticed the newly added Devil’s Ivy on his table. It was only a glimpse before I lowered my head to eat.
After Dennis finished his work, he sat next to me, looked at me, and said, “Is there any place you want to go?”
I shook my head, “No!”
Shouldn’t I be staying at home to care for the child now? Why should I keep moving about?
After having a few mouths, I lost my appetite. I looked at him and said, “Is there someone new in your office?”
He raised his eyebrows, “You have a bit like the president wife’s aura.”
I kept silent and waited for him to continue.
After a pause, he said, “It is Stefan’s personnel. You will need to home and rest in a few more months. It would also be convenient to have a few more secretaries.”
Stefan?
I would like to go to the restaurant where I previously met the girl.
It may be a jinx that person I was just talking about had arrived. The girl came in abruptly, dressed in a bright yellow dress with a high ponytail, and her entire self was very youthful.
“Mr. George, my apologies. I’m here to deliver the documents!” The girl was a little embarrassed, placed the documents in her hand on Dennis’s desk, and gave a restrained attitude towards me.
I looked at Dennis and smiled when she left, “It’s great that everywhere is surrounded by youthful presence.”
He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his long arms, and pulled me into his arms, “Jealous?”
I shook my head, “No, I just think that you and your office have changed a lot. There’s a power of life.”
He hugged me and breathed calmly, “We are giving birth to a little life, aren’t we?”
I was silent. At the start, there was no sweetness in my heart, it was endless fear, and I didn’t know where this fear came from.
After eating, Dennis asked me to have a rest in the lounge for a while. When I returned to the office, it was a little noisy.
Dennis seemed to have gone out. I didn’t think too much about it. I wanted to head home since nothing was going on in the company.
However, I met a young and pretty girl in Dennis’s office. When she saw me, the girl stiffly smiled, “Mrs. George. I didn’t realize you were resting in the lounge. Did I disturb you just now?”
The girl looked a bit familiar, but I really can’t recall for a while. I was taken aback, “You are…?”
She smiled and said, “I am Nova Pearson. We have met before, but you may not have an impression of me. I am Stefan’s niece. I just entered the George Group, and I am President George’s secretary.”
I had just woken up. Although I vaguely heard it, I roughly understood it. I was just curious why Dennis suddenly asked her to be his secretary.
“You arranged all these Devil’s Ivy in the office?” I asked casually. Both Dennis and Toby were straight men. There were previously some plants before, but they didn’t last long. It was mainly due to Dennis feeling that they were in the way.
How’s it that he now allowed others to put things in his office.
“Yes! President George is aloof, and the office looked a bit deserted. I asked Toby for his opinion and brought in some Devil’s Ivy.” Nova looked smart.
I nodded and didn’t say much, rubbed my sore eyebrows, and said, “I see…”
I left Dennis’s office after.
With Jackie’s resignation, there were a lot of things I had to do by myself. Although the George Group’s audit had been completed, HY Technology Co., Ltd. still had many things to settle.
I was too tired after half a day of work. Although the critical period of the first three months had passed, I still felt that I was not in a good health.
When I saw that it was about to be eight o’clock in the night, I simply stopped my work and prepared to go home to rest.
Dennis sent me a message during dinner to inform me that he had ordered soup for dinner as he had something else on and would not be able to accompany me.
I didn’t care much, after all, it’s all my own time, and I can’t be together often.
When I reached the carpark, I drove went straight back to the villa.
I got a shock when I Nanny Daisy was still mopping the floor and asked, “Nanny Daisy, why are you back? Don’t you have other things on these days?”
She stopped mopping, looked at me, and sighed, “What do I have? My body is old and even my son complains that I’m not of any help.”
There were part-time workers in the villa who would come over to clean. When she saw that the villa was spotlessly cleaned, she thought that she might have made a bad move to go home.
I didn’t continue and after some thoughts, “Nanny Daisy, I seem to have some indigestion from dinner. Is there any way you have to improve it?”
“You might be bloated. I’ll cook you some soup for digestion. You can take some time to walk outside since it’s still early after you’re done drinking too.”
With that, she went into the kitchen.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
I followed her, leaned against the kitchen door, and complained, “Nanny Daisy, you don’t know how pitiful Dennis and I have been in the past few days since you left. We’ve been so pitiful. We can’t cook, so we don’t have anything to eat.”
She laughed while cooking the soup, “You two have to take care of yourself. This old woman won’t leave from now on. I’ll stay to take care of you. Your child will come in a few months. Nothing can happen to you till then.”
Nanny Daisy was in a much better mood as we chatted. She cooked soup for me, but I didn’t have much. I was a little sleepy that I went straight to sleep.
