Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 61

Jennifer couldn't hold Rose and hail a taxi at the same time, so she had to leave Rose with Elena. She didn't want to go with John. It was the middle of the night, no one knew what would happen, especially when she was with Rose who could barely move.

"The designated driver is here..." Elena opened the door and put Rose into John's car. Then, she waved at Jennifer. "Secretary Jennifer, the designated driver is here. Get in the car quickly. You can't get a taxi here."

Jennifer looked back and saw that Rose already slumped over in the backseat. She immediately panicked and hurried over to pull her out.

"No, Rose and I live not far from here. We'll take the subway if we can't get a taxi."

Jennifer held the car door. "Elena, do me a favor. Help me pull her out."

"Hello?" Elena suddenly took out her mobile phone from her bag and answered a phone call. She looked at Jennifer apologetically. "My boyfriend said he's coming to pick me up. Secretary Jennifer, just go with John. My boyfriend is here. Goodbye..."

"Secretary Jennifer, just get in the car. There's a designated driver, what are you worried about?"

John's hand went along the car door and touched her elbow. She stiffened and shook him off. She took two steps back and kept a distance from John. "John, it's too late. You're drunk. I have to make sure Rose is safe, I have to take her with me."

"Then go, take her with you..." John leaned against the car door, looking like he was drunk. "I'm letting you guys go now, Secretary Jennifer."

"You..."

"If you don't want to leave, then I'm leaving. Secretary Rose is very drunk. I have to send her back home safely." He sat in the back seat, and Rose, who was barely conscious, leaned on his shoulder in a daze.

Jennifer panicked. "Hey, wait a minute..."

John poked his head out of the car and looked at Jennifer with a faint smile.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll sit with Rose, you sit at the front."

She figured that John would not dare to do anything. After all, they work in the same company and they would see each other at some point. At most, he was just finding an opportunity to get closer to them.

If Rose hadn't drunk too much, she wouldn't have bothered with such a person.

In front of the Japanese restaurant, a group of people had just finished their meal. There were men and women among the mix, with a man standing out with his handsome look, his slender body, and his tall figure. The woman standing beside him was wearing delicate makeup. The wine-red coat could not hide her impressive figure. She was accompanying a greasy middle-aged man, talking and laughing.

"Mr. Liam, I'm sorry I had to change our dinner plan to tonight so suddenly. Let's go out for dinner again some time, my treat. I hope you can make time for me."

Her voice was very charming, any man would fall for her voice. Mr. Liam patted her on the back and said, "Monica, I have a few bottles of liquor in my private collection. If you have time tonight, how about we have a few drinks?"

Monica remained calm.

"Oh, Mr. Liam, you must have forgotten after all the fun we are having. I had work tomorrow, otherwise, why would I suddenly change the dinner to tonight? Next time, Mr. Liam, next time..."

"Really? Don't lie to me..."

"Of course. Mr. Liam, your car is here. It's windy outside. Get in the car..."

After seeing off Mr. Liam, Monica let out a long sigh of relief and reached out to hold Hans's arm.

"Hans, this is all for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with these old men. You have to do something nice for me."

Hans took a step down the stairs as if he didn't hear her. Monica's arms missed his and she looked a little embarrassed.

"It's getting late. You have work tomorrow. Go back and rest early."

Monica bit her lip and moved closer to Hans, not giving up. Her voice was very soft.

"Hans, it's so late. It's not safe for me to go back alone. Won't you send me home?"

Hans's gaze was on a black BMW in the distance, and his eyes grew cold.

"James, send Monica back."

James, who had been standing aside quietly, was slightly stunned. "Yes..."

"Hans..." Monica wanted to say something but was interrupted by James.

"Miss Baker, this way please."

Sitting in James's car, Monica's face immediately darkened. "Your boss is really heartless, he thinks he can just call me up and kick me away as he pleased."

James started the car and slowly headed to the road. His voice was gentle.

"Mr. Hans has always been like this. Compared to other women, he treats Miss Baker especially well."

"That's only because I can help him keep customers and business partners."

Monica was very self-aware, otherwise, she would not have made a name for herself in the entertainment industry not long after her debut. In the past, it was okay for her to just have fun with men, but as she grew older, she had to get married and find a good partner. There was no doubt that Hans was the best candidate.

"Since you already know, why are you still willing to stay by Mr. Hans's side?"

James couldn't help asking.

"What can I do? The most stable relationship is the one that's mutually beneficial. I'm valuable to him so he keeps me by his side. I need his protection so I'm willing to help him."

"What if one day you are no longer valuable to him?"

"Impossible..." Monica retorted without thinking. Seeing her delicate appearance in the rearview mirror, she was slightly stunned and realized that she had lost her composure. She frowned and said, "James, you are quite chatty today."

James's face changed slightly. He stopped for a few seconds and said lightly,

"It's because I care about you."

Monica's face softened a little, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"I should thank you. You have indeed helped me out a lot. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known the places that he frequented. How about this? I will get you a big gift during Christmas."

"No, I'm happy to do this for you."

James sounded a little weird.

Monica stared at the back of his head suspiciously for a while, feeling that something was wrong with him today.

James felt the gaze behind him and quickly changed the subject. "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Huh?" Monica was a little surprised and remembered his question.

After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "It's impossible. I will hurry up and make him realize that he wants to marry me. He has no other women. Even if he does, it's just for fun. No one had been beside him for longer than I did."

As she spoke, she seemed very confident that she would be Mrs. Miller one day. Indeed, from the moment he started working in Joy Group, he was known as the successor of the company. There were many women around her. In recent years, the gossips surrounding him were no less than that of a popular celebrity. However, those women around him did not last long. The only one who had been there for more than half a year was Monica.

She didn't notice James's face turned sad all of a sudden.
