"Good morning, everyone," Jean greeted everyone with a smile. Robin introduced her to the staff present in the office area. There were only three female secretaries in the president's office—Robin, Kylie, and Rowena. The rest were elite assistants. After a brief introduction, Jean left the president's office area. As she left, Rowena fixed her gaze on Jean, then took out her phone and sent a message. The recipient of her message was unknown. Jean returned to her workstation. She could see Tyler's desk clearly from her place, which was obviously arranged on purpose. Robin was not too busy for the day, so she had ample time to help Jean familiarize herself with her job. "If there's anything you find uncomfortable, just let me know. We can adjust the workstation accordingly," Robin offered. "There's no need for trouble," Jean shook her head as she replied. She was not handling any particularly critical tasks. Meanwhile, Tyler's meeting continued for quite some
Listening to Robin, Jean nodded. "It seems that the Pages have not given up on the Larsons yet, am I right?" Jean said.It was no surprise that Judy refused to meet Lilian when she tried to pay a visit to Larson Residence. Perhaps Lilian had set her eyes on her new target, Tyler. Jean was feeling uneasy. These entitled women were such a handful to deal with.Robin noticed Jean's worries. Lowering her voice, she said, "Don't worry. Mr. Larson will take care of it. It's just that you might run into Lilian now that both of you are in Henkel. Lilian is known for being shameless. If you ever run into her, never trust whatever comes out of her mouth."Jean frowned after hearing those words. She was even starting to get nervous after hearing what Robin said. Lilian had to be avoided at all costs. Otherwise, Robin wouldn't have warned her like this.It was a bustling afternoon at Larson Group. Lilian was waiting in the lounge while reading a magazine. After being reprimanded
Jean saw Rowena in the pantry, and they exchanged smiles. "I came here to get some coffee. Are you getting some water for Mr. Larson?" Rowena asked. "Yes. He needs to take his medicine," Jean replied. Rowena stood quietly as she watched Jean walk over to the water dispenser.With a soft voice, Rowena broke the silence. "I really admire your courage for returning to Mr. Larson. If it were someone else, they might not have done the same. "But seeing that your relationship with Mr. Larson is going well, we're all happy for you. I really wish you guys the best now that you've given your relationship a second go." It was as if Rowena didn't know Jean had lost her memories. She kept her smile on her face and walked out of the pantry. Jean frowned in confusion. She couldn't understand what Rowena meant.She jolted back to her senses when the hot water spilled onto her hand. The glass fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Robin heard the commotion and rushed to the pantry
The doctor immediately came forward and carefully examined Jean's hand. The back of Jean's hand was all red from the burn. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad. The doctor first cleaned the wound with a disinfectant. Then, he applied a layer of ointment on the wound and bandaged the wound with dressing. Jean had burned her right hand. "Ms. Michaels, you'll experience some burning sensation when you move your hand. This ointment has to be applied every two hours. By doing so, the wound will heal better." Tyler took the ointment from the doctor and read the instructions with a serious face. After reading, he asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else to take note of?" The doctor immediately answered, "Ms. Michaels will experience some pain in her skin whenever she moves her right hand. It's best to minimize the movement of her right hand. The wound will likely start to heal by tomorrow." Tyler nodded.It was just a burn. There was no serious damage to the skin. There was some
After Rowena was done talking, she went back to the office. Her heart sank.Robin was too sharp. Even the slightest change in Rowena's expression could raise her suspicion. Now that Jean had returned, Robin would definitely show more concern for her.Rowena had to keep a distance from Lilian in the future. Otherwise, if she was to be found out, she would be dragged down by Lilian.Rowena went back to her workstation, but all she could think about was the problem going on between Jean and Lilian. While in the office, Tyler was working on some official documents. Jean watched him work while she sat on the sofa. Chris brought over some of the documents requested by Tyler. Jean noticed that Chris would come into the office with documents from time to time to discuss with Tyler. She couldn't help but worry for Tyler's health.Tyler had barely rested since he arrived at the company. Jean let out a sigh. After Chris had left, Jean got up from the sofa and walked to Tyler.
Jean felt awkward. She would be working with Rowena in the future, and this incident might affect their working relationship. Noticing Jean was blushing, Tyler smiled and said, "They wouldn't dare to say anything about our relationship." Now that she had embarrassed herself, Jean was worried it might have damaged the impression others held of her. Jean bit her lip lightly. Tyler continued, "You don't need to care about others' opinions." Jean took a deep breath, feeling somewhat uneasy about what Rowena had said to her in the pantry. She murmured softly, "But we're already divorced." Their divorce was no secret in Larson Group. When Jean searched her name and Tyler's, she found articles about their divorce. Therefore, her return to Tyler's side might seem like she was clinging to him in the eyes of many. And Jean was actually quite concerned about how others perceived her. Listening to Jean's words, Tyler slightly frowned and pulled her closer. He loo
Tyler's voice was deep, with a hint of melancholy in his tone. Jean felt the disappointment radiating from Tyler as if she had done something wrong.Nevertheless, she didn't want to be in an on-and-off relationship with Tyler.Now, she just wanted to know what had happened between them in the past so that she could make better decisions. It was unavoidable for Jean's mindset to be influenced since she had been listening to others' opinions a lot."Tyler, I'm sorry," she apologized, not wanting to upset Tyler. They had been getting along well, and Jean didn't want things to become unpleasant. "No need to apologize," Tyler replied in a soft tone while rubbing her head gently. "I rejected you many times before and didn't apologize for that, didn't I?"Jean felt slightly better after hearing what Tyler said. "I feel like I'm interrupting your work. I'll let you be," said Jean as she was reminded of Rowena's earlier knock on the door. Tyler let go of her. Jean then walk
In the past, Rowena and Lilian had crossed paths in their work. Not to mention that Lilian had provided her with some assistance.Rowena had revealed some information to Lilian in order to repay her for the help she offered in the past.Being bound to someone could be really burdensome, especially when the things Lilian asked for weren't that big of a deal.Drawing out a deep breath, Rowena left the building of Larson Group. It was obvious that Lilian was hinting at her. Despite her dissatisfaction, there was nothing she could do.If Tyler ever found out what she did, she would lose her job. After all, embezzlement was strictly prohibited within Larson Group.Lilian's lips pursed into a smirk as she watched Rowena's retreating figure. She was happy knowing she had grasped something that could be used against Rowena. Lost in self-satisfaction, her eyes caught sight of the elevator doors opening.As Tyler walked out, he held Jean's hand. She trailed behind him like a newlywed bride
