Because of Tracy’s recommendation, Claire becomes the secretary of Howard Group’s president. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy is happy, too. She is not as mean as usual. She smiles smugly at Claire and says, “you can start work today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” Claire is relieved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But she suddenly thinks of a fact! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If she starts work today, she will meet Leo today. Claire is nervous and scared at the thought of meeting Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe she’s not ready to face him again. She is afraid that she will not be able to escape from him after meeing him again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t imagine how angry Leo was when she ran away from him. She dare not think of it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo must be furious! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the thought of Leo’s anger, Claire unconsciously hates it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she thinks of her son. Claire is determined to get her son back! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Forget it. Leo, I’m not afraid of you! I’m not the Claire I was six years ago! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, when Claire is taken to the front desk of the secretary outside Leo’s office, she does not see Leo. She sees a woman full of resentment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This woman is Leo’s last secretary. When she sees Claire, she smiles sarcastically and then she begins to feel sad as if she has thought of something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She tells Claire the company’s whole process indifferently. Then she takes her back to the front desk of the secretary and tells her something about her work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire follows the former secretary with sincerity. The former secretary can not help sighing at her honesty, “you are obedient. It’s a pity that I didn’t expose Tracy in front of the president before I left.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t know the truth, but she smiles politely and doesn’t comment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The former secretary sighs again. She puts a notebook in Claire’s hand and says, “I’ve told you everything. Next you can only rely on yourself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire takes the notebook and looks at it suspiciously. She can’t help reading it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The former secretary reminds her, “the president likes to drink unsweetened coffee. It’s better to be bitter, but it can’t be too bitter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He eats in the company when he is busy. You’re responsible for his lunch. He only eats food from a few restaurants. I’ve written those contacts on it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She pauses and says, “if Tracy asks you to call her Mrs. Howard, you mustn’t!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire remembers the first two points, but she can’t understand the last one. “Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Because…” The former secretary looks around. She approaches Claire mysteriously and says quietly, “because she’s not the president’s wife at all. She’s just the president’s fiancee!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Claire is relieved. She breathes a sigh of relief. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she wonders why she is relieved. Whether Tracy is Leo’s wife has nothing to do with her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire stops thinking and smiles at the former secretary and says, “I see. Thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The former secretary is more worried. She waves casually and says weakly, “you are much older than me. Are you married? Tracy won’t be alert to you. She is a hypocritical woman. I really want to give her a good beating.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t help chuckling at the tone of the former secretary’s voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why do you laugh?” The former secretary glares discontentedly at Claire. She says seriously, “don’t be too happy. That woman has a bad temper. She’ll embarrass you later. You’d better be careful yourself!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It has to be said that the former secretary is quite interesting. Although she is a bimbo, Claire agrees with her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy’s manner makes people dislike her. She lets others call her Mrs. Howard in private, which shows that this woman is full of vanity. Such a person is really unattractive. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I see.” Claire stops smiling and says seriously, “would you like to have lunch with me later?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, I’m upset to stay here. The president may be busy today. You stay here to prepare lunch for him.” The former secretary waves and packs up to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s heart pounds when she hears that she is going to prepare lunch for Leo. She doesn’t see Leo all morning. She thinks she is ready to face him again, but now she is so scared. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire takes a deep breath and cheers herself up in her heart. At that moment, the internal phone on the front desk of the secretary rings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The former secretary’s face changes when she hears the telephone ring. She looks at Claire in panic and says hurriedly, “I forgot to prepare coffee for the president this morning. He must be urging now! I have to leave first. You solve it!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, she leaves in a hurry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is also shocked by the unexpected news. She coughs softly and picks up the internal phone that has been ringing all the time. She says softly, “Hello, president.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why do you take so long to answer the phone?” Leo suddenly stops. He asks suspiciously, “who are you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s heart thumps when she hears the familiar voice she hasn’t heard for a long time in the microphone. Her hands tremble a little. She comforts herself in her heart many times. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire stabilizes her voice and calmly says, “Hello, president. I’m the new secretary. My name is Angie. Today is my first day at work.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
