Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 25: Eating Is a Choking Hazard for Her

"We need to be environmental friendly even in our daily routine." Jennifer blurted out such lies. She

thought about it and was worried that he would not believe her, so she quickly added, "Now is peak

hour, public transports are much faster than driving, really." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Let me send you, I have something to tell you..."

Jackson looked as if he hadn't slept all night. Looking closely, he had huge eye bags.

Jennifer felt sorry for him, but when she thought of Hans, she shivered involuntarily. She raised her

wrist to look at the time and said hurriedly, "I really don't have time. I have to rush to catch the bus.

Let's talk next time."

She turned around and left Jackson behind.

To her, this old love was the most colourful part of her youth. However, life went on. Now there was a

new chapter in her life, with a new social network, and a new life. When she thought about Jackson in

the depths of her memory, she no longer felt the pain like she used to. Perhaps she was too fragile to

handle it then but it did not matter now. Or perhaps time healed all wounds, so well that it didn't even

leave a scar.

Looking at Jennifer darting away in her high heels, there was more loneliness in Jackson's eyes than

guilt.

In his mind, Jennifer was still the little girl in a dress with white sneakers, chasing behind him, begging

him to teach her how to play tennis. Her grades were bad, and she was shameless and clingy.

"After all, it had been ten years. You can't expect her to still be waiting for you, right?" Jackson thought

to himself.

On the second floor of the villa, a cold light flashed through the window slit. Hans looked away with a

smile of satisfaction. It seemed that Jennifer had learned her lesson. She knew that she should not be

too close with another man.

"But what about when she leaves this villa? What will happen?" Hans thought to himself

Thinking of this, an air of anger rose between Hans's eyebrows. He pulled on his tie and walked

impatiently in the room before he finally turned around and strode downstairs.

Jennifer ran to the bus stop in a hurry just as bus 42 left. Looking at the back of the bus, Jennifer ran

after it while waving her white handbag, but the bus didn't stop. The bus turned around the corner and

disappeared from her sight.

Jackson's car slowly pulled up next to Jennifer and he rolled down the passenger seat's window. "The

bus left. Why don't you just let me send you? I'll drop you off somewhere close to where you work.

Nothing will happen."

Jennifer frowned at the sports car in front of her, she was in a dilemma.

If Hans found out Jackson gave her a ride, it was going to be trouble. However, if she waited for the

next bus, she would be late for work and Hans would blow it out of proportion too. The consequences

would also be unimaginable.

Both choices were equally bad...

"It's far away from the villa, Hans probably won't find out, right?" Jennifer thought.

She took the chance and looked at the sports car, her fingers were ready to open the car door.

Dust rose on the side of the road and a black SUV sped past Jackson's blue sports car. There was a

sharp braking noise followed by white skid marks on the ground. The door opened and a man's voice

came from the SUV.

"Secretary Jennifer, you didn't catch the bus? Why don't I give you a ride?"

Jennifer's face turned pale. Under the cold gaze of Hans, she felt like she couldn't get away with

anything.

Hans was wearing a well-fitted black suit, he stood up straight with his slender legs and shiny leather

shoes. His outfit made Jackson frown deeply. "Jennifer, he..."

"This is my boss. Since we are going the same way, I'll just go with him."

Jennifer interrupted him and rushed towards the SUV at the front. Without a word, she opened the front

passenger door and got in the car.

Hans stood outside the car for a few seconds, he glanced at the man with sunglasses in the sports car.

He seemed to be the same person from last night. Hans deliberately caught a glimpse of the license

plate number and memorized it.

He showed a faint smile to Jackson and then turned to get in the car.

It was very quiet in the car. Jennifer still had half a piece of bread in her hands. She was afraid that it

would dirty the expensive leather seat, so she hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks instantly

bulged up and it was difficult to move them.

"Good job Jennifer, you're so good at pretending. If I hadn't shown up just now, would you already be in

his car?"

Jennifer's expression froze. She wanted to defend herself, but she could not speak for a moment as

her mouth was stuffed with bread. She could only munch and swallow forcefully. She almost choked on

the bread and had to catch a breath.

Hans was a little annoyed that she didn't respond. He turned around only to find her choking. He

widened his eyes and growled, "What are you doing?"

She lowered her head for a long while before she could squeeze a word out.

"Water... "

Hans held the steering wheel with one hand and opened the storage box between the two seats with

the other hand. He took out an opened bottle of water and passed it to Jennifer.

Jennifer took several gulps and finally managed to swallow the piece of bread in her throat. She took a

deep breath and burped...

"You..." Hans was speechless.

It was rare to find a woman who could put herself in grave danger just by drinking water.

Jennifer thought that he was disgusted by her burping which had contaminated the air in the car, so

she hurriedly pressed a button and opened the window on her side.

The weather of early autumn was always colder than people realized. Just as she opened the car

window, the cold wind rushed in and made Jennifer sneeze several times.

Hans slightly frowned and said coldly.

"Do you want to freeze me to death so that you can be with that guy as soon as possible?"

Jennifer pursed her lips and closed the window sheepishly.

Her body gradually warmed up.

"Your stupidity makes me speechless."

Hans said that coldly without even looking at her, and he didn't say another word for the rest of the

journey.

This was good too. Jennifer slightly adjusted her sitting position and leaned on the leather seat, looking

out at the window. At first, she was afraid that Hans would say something mean, but he didn't. Slowly,

she fell asleep.

It had been a long time since she and Hans had been in the same space peacefully. It seemed that

ever since that incident, he was always angry to see her and began to hate her for no reason. She

couldn't do anything right.

Hearing a snore, Hans couldn't help glancing at her from the corner of his eyes. Her mouth was slightly

pouted and she was mumbling. He could hear her mumbles between the howling wind.

"Hansy..."

Hans was stunned, he had not heard her call him by this name in a long time.
