No One But You novel Chapter 11

"Go back and find out what kind of woman Calvin likes, then you can be the kind of woman he wants."

She blinked, feeling confused.

"Or, you can find out what kind of woman Calvin's mother is. Generally speaking, a man’s future wife looks like his own mother."

Her eyes got bright. "Like mother-in-law?"

I didn't care what cards she played. I looked at her and smiled, letting her figure it out.

She left after she understood that she could not see Calvin even if she wanted to.

I went back after I made sure she left with her car.

Calvin was having an office meeting in a room full of senior managers. Secretaries were taking notes nervously. And there was a recorder on the desk

I sat in a corner and took notes of what other people said, which was the basic skill of a journalist.

After listening to it roughly, I began to write an outline, and then listened to the tape and expanded it after the meeting.

It was simple. They didn't have to be scared like that.

After the meeting, the secretaries huddled together to listen to the recording of Calvin.

I know Calvin must be very strict in his work. Otherwise the secretaries wouldn't be so nervous.

Their leader had resigned and it was leaderless, so they were like headless flies.

I sat down with them but they didn't notice.

Finding an idle computer, I began to expand the outline by combining it with Calvin's recordings, and soon finished writing the minutes of the meeting.

Then I typed it and gave it to one of the secretaries. "Give it to Mr. Knight!"

She saw a strange face in the secretary's office, so she looked at me. "Who are you?"

"I am Josephine Wood, your new director."

They believed it and stretch out a hand, “Director Wood, My name is Alice Newman."

"Director Wood, my name is Olive Smith."

I shook their hands with a smile. I had their names in mind.

Alice went to hand in the minutes of the meeting and later came back to tell me, “Director Wood, Mr. Knight wants to see you."

I sorted my clothes and walked into Calvin's office. He had changed his white silk shirt into a dark blue shirt with dark gold stripes. I looked at his cuffs and found it had a fine cufflink.

"What are you looking at?” A cold word cut short my glance.

"Looking at a handsome man." I was laughing.

He looked up. I read in his eyes a great deal of disgust.

I knew he hated me.

But why did he sleep with me since he hated me? After he messed up my life, I didn't know how to move on."

“Did you tell my secretary you are the director of Secretary Department?" He asked.

"You said that as long as I could get rid of Elena Jenkins, I can take any job in the Secretary Department, and only the secretary position would be acceptable for the time being."

It was very rude of me to speak to him.

However, Calvin was an unusual person. If was compliant, he might ignore me. But If I didn’t respect him, he would pay attention to me.

"You got rid of Elena? But she will show up again."

"You asked me to drive her away, not to kill her. As long as she is alive, sure she will show up again. But I had completed the task you gave. Will you go back on your word?"

He lowered his eyes and smiled with a nice curve of his lips.

What a delightful man. With such a face, the kid in my belly would be beautiful no matter it was a boy or a girl.

"Josephine." He called me when I was distracted.

"Yes." I hastened to answer.

"There's a lunch meeting at noon and a cocktail party in the evening. I'll hire you if you do a good job."

"That's not what you said." I sneered.

"It's up to me. You have no room to bargain." He bowed his head and went on with his work. "Go out and meet me at the office gate at twelve noon."

I watched him for two seconds before I turned and walked out the door.
