Chapter 32
Joyce said Mr. Evert was absent, so Jolene went to Bowen Evert’s office.
During the handover last time, she remembered that Bowen had wanted to see Martin’s contract. Flora had seemed to have taken it in, but Jolene didn’t know if she had taken it
out.
It was estimated that Bowen had lost his temper, and they had been panicked, not knowing what to do.
Jolene searched everywhere but couldn’t find the contract.
Jolene wondered if someone hadn’t taken it away on purpose. They wouldn’t have thrown it away.
She thought about it, bent down, and looked under the table, and sure enough, she saw a black folder underneath.
Jolene stretched her arms on the ground and took out the folder effortlessly. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as she was about to stand up from under the table, someone came in.
She heard Viona’s voice, “Bowen, I just passed by your company, and I brought you some soup.”
“Thank you,” Bowen’s voice replied.
Jolene saw two pairs of feet slowly walking towards her from

under the table.
She didn’t know if she should stand up now, but Bowen wouldn’t leave for now. She couldn’t squat here forever.
Just as she moved, Viona suddenly mentioned her name.
“Last time I saw Miss Marsh, Bowen, did you dismiss Miss Marsh for Toyar Company’s affairs?”
“Did she tell you?”
“She mentioned it.” Viona said, “Miss Marsh had been with you for quite a long time. If she had been fired for this kind of thing, I am afraid she wouldn’t be able to find a similar job in the industry.”
“So you mean…”
“It is not easy for a girl to work outside…”
“Why did you speak for her?” Not only was Bowen confused, but Jolene was also confused.
“I was worried that you fired her to avoid suspicion.” Viona’s voice was very gentle, “I know there are rumors outside that the relationship between Miss Marsh and you is unusual, Bowen. I have 100% trust in you, and I don’t believe what outsiders say, so you don’t have to avoid suspicion and dismiss Miss Marsh.” Jolene nestled under the table. Her stomach ached, and she hugged her knees, sweating all over her forehead.
What Viona had just said was reasonable.
Even quite considerate.

Jolene couldn’t help but question herself a little bit. Had she thought of Viona too harshly before?
She had always felt that Viona was a bit like a tiger with a smiling face, the kind who hides a knife in her smile.
But this time, someone spoke for her in her absence.
As a result, she was even more unable to stand up and could only maintain her original posture until they left.
Viona walked to the table while talking and put the thermos on the table.
She walked around the table, intending to pour out a bowl of soup for Bowen, but when she suddenly saw a fuzzy head under the table, she screamed in fright and jumped towards Bowen.
“Bowen, what’s under the table? There seems to be
someone!” Bowen also froze momentarily and looked behind the table with a frown.
“Who’s there?”
This situation was embarrassing for Jolene. Should Jolene Marsh stand up or continue squatting?
She hesitated, only to hear Bowen yell again, “Who is it! Come out!”
In the current situation, she couldn’t hide. She could only hold onto the legs of the table and slowly get out from under the table.
When she stood up in embarrassment, with a few spider
threads hanging from the top of her head, Viona saw her face clearly and screamed in surprise.
“Assistant Jolene, why were you under the table?”
Jolene had never experienced such an embarrassing moment.
She put the folder on the table and smiled, “I heard that Martin’s contract couldn’t be found. I handled it last time, so I came here to help find it.”
