The two of them got out of the car one after the other. Before they could even reach the house, Jeana had already come over to greet them. "Xav, why are you only home now?" she asked. Her face lit up when she saw Xavier. However, her expression shifted as soon as she noticed Yvette getting out of the car with him."Oh, you're back too, Yvette. Weren't you at a class reunion?" Jeana asked, as if afraid Xavier didn't know about Yvette attending the gathering.Yvette was curious as to how Jeana knew about her attending the reunion. She'd only mentioned it to Noah. Could he have told Jeana? But he didn't like Jeana, so it didn't seem likely. Wendy was the only other person present when Yvette had told Noah.Wendy, who worked in the house, had recently gotten close to Jeana. When Jeana had gotten in a car accident not long ago, Wendy had even spoken up in her defense. Yvette had spent some time with Wendy and knew that the latter was a kind-hearted, simple woman without much guile.
Hearing that, Xavier commented, "If you want to learn something, I can teach you." He didn't think he was any less capable than Jeremiah. Unfortunately, Yvette didn't understand what he was implying. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "Okay, I'll ask you if I don't understand something."Xavier frowned slightly. However, worried that Yvette might get upset again, he decided not to say more. Since she liked going to work at Titan Corporation, she could go. However, he was still uneasy about Jeremiah.…Yvette set an alarm for the next day and woke up early to get ready for work. What she hadn't expected was to see Xavier up even earlier than her. In fact, he was already waiting for her downstairs."Xav, why haven't you gone to work yet?" Yvette asked, puzzled."I'll drive you to and from work from now on," Xavier replied. After all, it was normal for a husband to drive his wife to work. Plus, he wanted Jeremiah to see how close he and Yvette
In the car, Xavier was silent for a moment before he finally spoke up. "I didn't tell her to get out because she was wearing perfume."Yvette grew curious upon hearing that. "Why did you do it, then?""I'm taking you to and from work, not her." Xavier paused, then continued, "As for you wearing perfume, I can put up with it for a bit."After all, it was only a 30-minute drive at most. He could tolerate it.Yvette found his answer impeccable."So that's why. Don't worry, you won't have to put up with anything," she responded. She didn't like wearing perfume anyway.The two chatted sporadically throughout the drive. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of Titan Corporation. Then, Yvette stepped out of the car. Xavier had come in a Maybach today. Although it wasn't as expensive as the limited edition Rolls-Royce from the day before, it still caught the attention of many passersby, who began speculating about the car's occupants.Seeing this, Yvette thought to herself that it
Londyn and the others turned toward the voice. They saw Marlene, her eyes filled with displeasure, approaching with her assistant.Londyn and the three female employees instantly turned pale.After all, Marlene was infamous within the company for being unreasonable, ruthless, and having a strong dislike for other women. Her assistants had always been male, and the female subordinates she'd once had had all been driven out for one reason or another.Londyn, being quick on her feet as a secretary in the CEO's office, immediately explained, "Ms. Larson, perhaps you misheard. We weren't talking about you. We were talking about the former CEO's wife, who is now working as a secretary in the CEO's office."Londyn had done her homework on the preferences of the higher-ups. That was part of the reason she'd been able to hold her position. She knew that Marlene didn't like Yvette. In fact, anyone could guess that much. Both women were daughters-in-law of the Lane family and potentially co
Jeana was taken aback. When had she ever said she wasn't fit to work or needed time off?"No, Yvette. I'm fine to work."Hearing this, Yvette raised her head to look at her. "Jeana, please address me as Ms. Snyder. We're at work now. We should keep personal and professional matters separate."You're my assistant. As an assistant, it's your role to help me complete my work, correct? If you can't even assist me with something as simple as getting a cup of water, how can I trust you with more important tasks?" Yvette explained in a reasonable tone.Initially, the other secretaries in the office had thought Yvette might be a bit cold and harsh. But after hearing her reasoning, they began to understand. After all, fetching a cup of water was indeed part of Jeana's duties.Jeana's eyes flickered with frustration. "I already brought you the water, didn't I?""I asked for warm water," Yvette replied. "What exactly did you bring me?" "Hot water cools down to become warm, doesn't it? Dri
Jeana thought it was strange that Jackie, a mere personal secretary, would call a guest like her by her name.Dressed in standard formal attire, Jackie looked particularly serious. "What, is there another person named Jeana here?"Jeana's expression instantly turned cold as she approached Jackie. "What is it?"She had initially intended to win Jackie's favor. However, Jackie was nothing like the other employees—she was impervious to flattery. So, Jeana had given up on trying to win her over."From now on, you will be the assistant handling administrative support for the entire secretariat department. Please manage all your responsibilities well," Jackie stated.Then, she turned to the other four secretaries. "If you need help with anything, you can ask Jeana to do it. You can get her to do things like send packages, pick up takeout, and so on."The four secretaries were incredulous. "We have an assistant too?"Jeana was equally stunned. "Are you kidding me? I'm here to take care
As the afternoon progressed, Jeana became even busier.Now that she didn't have anyone disturbing her, Yvette could finally focus on her work and study the regulations and policies governing employees under the company.However, it wasn't long before a woman arrived at the CEO's office. Londyn immediately stood up to greet her."Ms. Larson, are you here to see Mr. Lane?" she asked, her expression full of flattery.However, Marlene didn't even glance at her as her gaze swept across the room until it landed on Yvette's workspace. She walked straight over and pushed the door open without knocking.Yvette was engrossed in her work and didn't notice Marlene's arrival until she heard the noise. By the time she looked up, Marlene was already nearly in front of her."Tsk, tsk. Shannon really is ruthless. Did she actually make her daughter-in-law a secretary?"Yvette didn't pay much attention to Marlene's taunts. "Do you need something, Marlene?" she replied calmly.Yvette had bested Ma
Hearing this, Yvette looked up and replied, "Okay."She stood up and headed to Jeremiah's office, knocking before entering. Jeremiah looked up at her. "I heard Marlene came by. She didn't give you any trouble, did she?"Yvette truthfully explained the situation, telling Jeremiah that Marlene had instructed her to get the contract signed.Jeremiah immediately knew that Marlene was up to no good. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can leave the contract here. I'll have someone else handle it."Yvette recalled the gossip in the office from earlier in the day. She knew that it would be detrimental to her reputation in the office if Jeremiah gave this task to another secretary."It's alright. I'll make sure I bring back the contract signed," Yvette insisted.Suspecting that Yvette didn't fully understand how difficult Marlene's task was, Jeremiah warned her, "Cassidy Hanstein is not an easy person to deal with. Not only might she not sign the contract, but she might also mak
