Inside Grayson's office, Belle had contemplated the idea of throwing the coffee right into his face as a display of power.However, she was completely captivated by his office the moment she entered. His office was a completely open room of approximately 3200 square feet. She was taken aback by how spacious Grayson's office was and had already forgotten about her initial plans.She began to compare her tiny office in the rental house with Grayson's spacious one. Grayson's office was not only spacious but also exquisitely decorated. A row of large windows flooded the room with natural light, giving it a bright and airy ambiance.The wooden bookshelves displayed an impressive collection of books and antiques, showcasing the owner's refined taste.Even the sofa and potted plants in the room appeared to be custom-made, reflecting Grayson's attention to detail and aesthetics.Grayson's office was entirely different from everything Belle had seen within the Page Tower.She realiz
Belle retorted, "Thanks to the sweets, I do not want to quarrel with you. But I will make it clear right now, I'm here to work, not to serve your lazy ass! If you keep this up, I'll show you who's boss! Seriously, just get someone else to do this for you."Grayson was in disbelief. He countered, "You're working as a secretary. Serving drinks to me is simply part of the job."Belle pouted."I've heard that only a select few people are allowed into your office. You're deliberately toying with me on my first day on the job!"Grayson's lip started to twitch as he was rendered speechless by her apparent lack of appreciation. He had called her in without ill intentions and even prepared her favorite sweets in advance.Seeing her turn ungrateful, even biting the hand that fed her, was beyond his expectations."Plenty of people dreamed of entering my office, and you're out here complaining about it. What an unappreciative woman!" Grayson scolded her.Belle replied, "What do I care? As I
Belle was frustrated. She couldn't believe Grayson did all that just for something so minor.He could have just sent her a WhatsApp message to inform her. He didn't have to call her out in front of everyone specifically. Now everyone knew that he knew her.Moreover, it wasn't his business whether her buttons were fastened or not.Belle thought in frustration, then lowered her head to look at the button on her shirt. She didn't find anything wrong with it. Everyone else wore it like that.Even Rosa didn't fasten the topmost button on her shirt.Annoyed, Belle ignored Grayson's words. She left her topmost button unbuttoned as she returned to the secretarial department.The Secretarial Department was in chaos.Everyone had noticed that Grayson kept staring at Belle during the meeting. Also, when the meeting ended, Grayson called out Belle's name and told her to stay back.That could only mean that Belle had something to do with Grayson.Everyone knew that Belle had connections. B
After the group dispersed, Rosa gave Belle a stack of documents pertaining to Grayson for the latter to read.Perhaps guessing that Belle wouldn't want to read it, Rosa said, "As a secretary, you should know about various aspects of life. But most importantly, you have to know your boss well! This is the basics!"It doesn't matter if you like him or not. You have to read about him. You not only have to read about him, but you also have to memorize everything!"Belle was speechless.After Rosa left, Belle pouted as she looked at Grayson's profile. She didn't want to know about him at all.But now, she could earn money by getting to know him. So, for the sake of money, Belle began looking deeper into Grayson.Grayson Page was the eldest grandson of the Page family. He was 29 years old this year and was the president of Page Corporation. He was also the future head of the Page family.He graduated from Haven University in Midonica. He was a postdoctoral and held more than one bache
Scott said, "It wasn't hard to get your number. I even know that you're working at Page Corporation now. Do you know who I am now?""Yes," replied Belle. "Hey, that's weird. When I told you my name, you didn't know who I was. But when I mentioned Robert, you made the connection right away."You not only know him, but you also know who his friends are. Why are you so invested in Robert? Did you fall for him?"If you fell for him, just tell me. I'm quite close to him. I can help you court him."Belle was speechless. She wondered what was wrong with this guy.She remembered Robert because she felt that he looked like someone she knew in the past. It had nothing to do with whether she liked him or not.Also, she didn't like how Scott called her his "sister".For Robert's sake, Belle didn't end the call right away. Instead, she redirected the conversation back on track."Do you have something to talk to me about?"Scott wasn't mad that Belle ignored him after everything he had sa
Dissatisfied, Grayson reprimanded, "Why are you talking to your superior like this? How rude!"His tone was fierce, but it didn't deal any damage at all. Anyone could figure out that he wasn't truly mad. But when he saw the buttons on Belle's shirt, he got upset for real. "Why haven't you fastened your button?""That's none of your business!"Grayson had a foul look on his face. He immediately put on his arrogant air. "You're a lady, so you shouldn't leave any buttons unfastened! Button up right now!""No!""Do you want me to do it for you, then?""You …" Belle was baffled. "Everyone else wears it like this. Why are they allowed to do it but not me?""They're a different story. I'm talking about you!"Belle couldn't understand it at all. Pausing for a moment, she said, "Why do you care so much about my button, anyway? Did it offend you somehow?"Grayson pursed his lips. "Women have to be modest. They should have some self-respect!""I just left the top button unfastened on
"Grayson, I'm telling you one last time. Be more careful in the company, and keep your distance from me. Don't ask for me for no reason!" reminded Belle. With that, Belle left.Grayson's expression was foul.Sam didn't know what had happened. When he entered, he saw that Grayson had already put on his coat.Sam said, "Mr. Page, we've made arrangements with the restaurant. You can head there right now.""I'm not going anymore!" With that, Grayson tossed his coat at Sam. Fuming, he lit a cigarette and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows.Sam was speechless. He had no idea what was going on this time.Grayson looked quite happy when he asked to make restaurant reservations just now.Belle must have provoked him again.Sam couldn't understand it. Grayson didn't like Belle and would get pissed every time they met. Despite that, he took the initiative to talk to her. Sam felt like he must be some kind of a masochist.Sam didn't dare say or ask anything. After hanging the coat on
Ginger's eyes turned as wide as saucers when she heard Scott calling Grayson by name. He even tried to get Belle to change jobs.Ginger had already determined Scott's identity by now.Because she had confirmed who he was, she was so scared that she dared not say a word.Belle secretly rolled her eyes at Scott. She asked, "Why exactly are you looking for me?"Scott stuffed the flowers and some takeout boxes into Belle's hands."I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you're not free, so I bought some takeout for you. Try it. I promise it's even nicer than the food in Grayson's cafeteria."Belle didn't want to accept it. But Scott said, "I've already eaten. If you don't want it, I can only throw it away. It'd be such a waste, right? How shameful."With that, Scott didn't even give Belle time to react. Opening the car door, he got into the car. He flashed a charming smile at Belle, then left casually.Belle was speechless.Scott had just left when Ginger hastily went over to Belle.
