Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 27: You Think I Went Easy on You?

Jennifer opened the door and stood behind Jane from finance. Her voice was cold and clear. "Jane, I

remember this is your second time here. The first time you were here, the data was not correct, so I

asked you to take it back and change it. It should have been sent here on Friday night. It is already

Sunday. If it weren't for this problem, would you have been willing to work overtime today?"

Jane was extremely careless in her work. Everyone in the company knew that she had a fling with the

vice director of the finance department. If Jennifer hadn't spotted this mistake before it was sent to

Hans, who knew how many people would be implicated in it?

Not only was Jane not grateful to her for extending the deadline, now she even tried to put the blame

on her, it was unacceptable.

"Secretary Jennifer, you... you... I didn't mean that. I'm here now and I made all the changes"

In front of Hans, Jane did not dare to talk nonsense. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She

only regretted that she didn't notice that the door of the office was not closed.

Jennifer looked at her coldly and was about to say something when Hans suddenly spoke.

"You should have finished the data on Friday, why is it delayed till Sunday?"

He sounded like he was putting the blame on Jane, a glimmer of disbelief flashed through Jennifer's

face.

Hans had never spoken up for her in the company. She was always the first to be blamed when

something happened, which was why she was in such a hurry to explain it.

Jane was so scared her face turned pale. She faltered for a long time. "My godmother was hospitalized

on Friday for appendicitis, so I didn't have time to do..."

This kind of lame excuse was obviously false. If there was something really going on with her family,

she could get a medical certificate to apply for a paid leave. Jane was such a lazy and opportunistic

person, there was no reason why she didn't apply for leave.

Jennifer sneered. Did Jane think that Hans was brainless? Hans hated it when others lied to him.

"Oh? You should apply for leave when something happens at home. How about this, you go to the

finance department to get 5,000 dollars incentives, and then tell the human resources that you need a

week off to take care of your godmother..."

Jane was in disbelief. "Mr. Hans... you must be joking. I, I'm fine. I can come to work."

Jennifer's face changed bit by bit. She looked at Hans, her fingertips slightly trembling.

"Go. As for Secretary Jennifer, since you didn't figure out a timetable for each department for personnel

purposes, which resulted in a decrease in our work efficiency and caused the delay of this quarterly

financial review. Your bonus this month will be deducted."

Jane looked like she had just seen the strangest thing in the world. Her pale face looked stiff and

ridiculous when she heard what Hans said, and her cheeks twitched. She looked at Jennifer and tried

to explain, "Mr. Hans, this... Secretary Jennifer is not to be blamed on this matter, it's me..."

"If I don't blame her, then I should blame you?"

Hans's voice echoed in the corridor between the president's office and the secretary's office, giving

people goosebumps.

Jane shivered for no reason and quickly said, "Thank you Mr. Hans. I'll leave the documents in

Secretary Jennifer's office, then I'll go to the finance department..."

Jennifer could not stop Hans's unreasonable behaviour and just watched Jane leave. After all, it was

company business. Hans went too far this time. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Following him into the office, Jennifer clenched her fist and said to Hans in a trembling voice, "You

could have just told me if you are mad at me. Why do you have to mix work with personal issues? You

know that when Jane returns to the finance department, she will..."

"Mad at you?"

Hans snorted and interrupted Jennifer. He slowly sat down behind the desk, and the spacious leather

sofa trembled slightly. He stopped at a distance that allowed him to be at eye levels with Jennifer.

"Who do you think you are?"

James walked out of the office knowingly and closed the door of the office behind him.

Jennifer peered at Hans's desk and defended herself softly.

"I don't think I did anything wrong in this matter. I followed the company's rules, Jane..."

"I told you to get to the office in five minutes. Did you do that?"

There was a trace of astonishment on Jennifer's face.

"You disobeyed my orders during working hours. When you first started working here as a secretary,

did your predecessor not tell you that this is part of the contract too?"

There was a voice in her heart asking, "Did she?"

She thought about it for a long time, only to remember that the last secretary left with a big box without

saying anything.

"If she didn't, I'll tell you now."

As if knowing what she was thinking, Hans's glance grew sharp, stabbing Jennifer like a knife.

"But I arrived before you."

"Was my order for you to arrive before me?"

Hans's voice grew deeper. "You really know how to exploit loopholes. You think you can do whatever

you want when I'm not here."

He could always exaggerate a small thing to the extreme. Initially, Jennifer wanted to explain

something. She opened her mouth but at the end, she lowered her head and kept silent.

The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She really had no idea how had she angered

him.

"Repeat the order I gave you."

She didn't want to speak, but Hans insisted on letting her speak.

Jennifer raised her head slightly, and her thin bangs blocked her vision. She hesitated to keep this

angle and stopped moving. Her sweet voice grew hoarse.

"Get to the office in five minutes."

"What else?"

She frowned.

"If I was late for even a second, I'll have to bear the consequences."

She flustered thinking of the consequences. As she spoke, she grabbed the hem of her suit jacket and

trembled slightly.

Hans looked her up and down. "Why? Are you reluctant?"

"No... No..."

She gritted her teeth and did not dare to resist.

It was because this was his turf. She knew what kind of torture and humiliation she had to endure if she

dared to defy his wishes.

This office was like his playground, he could use it to humiliate her for fun.

Thinking of this, she felt nauseated again just like last night. She frowned and bit the tip of her tongue

to suppress the nausea.

Hans glanced at her. "What are you standing here for? Go do your own work. Or do you want me to

help you check those data?"

She was startled by the sudden remark and asked, "Huh?"

"Or what else do you think it is?" Hans raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a playful smile. "Do

you think that deducting a month's bonus was too light of a punishment? How about we do it another

way?"

"No... it's pretty good... I... I'm going to review the reports..."

As if she had been pardoned, Jennifer ran like the wind.

"Send in a cup of coffee after you are done checking the data." A faint voice came from behind.
