As soon as Hilla entered the Anderson Group, soone ca forward and asked, "Is it Ms. Holt? Please co with ."
The young man in front of her was polite, wearing a kind smile.
Hilla frowned, "Do you know ?"
"Mr. Anderson asked to take you to go through the entry formalities."
Jas smiled. He looked gentle in the suit.
"You an Bruce?"
Jas smiled and did not reply. He just stepped aside and pointed to the elevator. "Ms. Holt, this way."
He had just dropped her off on the way to work but now had asked soone to help her with the procedures. What exactly was Bruce doing? He was so capricious.
The elevator went straight to the 14th floor. Coming out of the HR departnt, Hilla had a na tag of the Anderson Group in her hand.
"Ms. Holt, you will be in the design departnt as a design assistant temporarily. Mr. Anderson said that you would be promoted when you are familiar with the work."
Looking at the na tag in her hand, Hilla nodded with a smile and asked, "What do you do in the Anderson Group?"
"I was Mr. Anderson’s assistant."
"Bruce?"
"Yes!"
"What about now?"
"Still his assistant."
Hilla said with a wry smile, "Unlike your boss, you got a sense of humor."
Jas replied with a smile, "Mr. Anderson is busy with work and has to be serious before his subordinates."
It was a tactful reply. Hilla nodded and asked, "Are we going to the design departnt now?"
"Yes! Don’t worry. No one in the Anderson Group knows your relationship with Mr. Anderson."
His words surprised Hilla.
What did it an? Did Bruce want to keep it secret from the staff? But why?
She followed Jas to the design departnt. As soon as she entered, she felt
everyone was looking at her. The entire design departnt instantly stopped working. Looking at the slim girl standing at the door, they could not help but gasp.
"This is Hilla. She will be the assistant of the design departnt. Julie, Mr. Anderson said you would be in charge of her."
Jas saw Julie Green, the head of the departnt who had just entered, and left after handing Hilla over to her.
He did not say anything more about Hilla to Julie, but his presence implied that Hilla was different.
Jas had used to be Bruce’s assistant and had assisted Tyree recently. It was unusual that he guided the newcor to the design departnt.
What’s more, no one had pulled strings and had been hired in the company. Even Rudi had gone through those examinations and training back then.
Tyree had treated his grandson like this, so who was she?
"You co with !"
Julie looked Hilla up and down and was annoyed. Hilla followed her obediently and entered her office.
"Tell , what’s your relationship with Mr. Anderson?"
As soon as the door was closed, Julie asked in a cold voice which made Hilla stunned.
She blinked innocently and said, "What does Ms. Green think?"
Julie sneered and glared at Hilla. "Don’t think you can seduce n to do everything for you just because you are young and beautiful. There haven’t been any connections or assistants in the design departnt. What did you do to have Mr. Anderson’s permission and let Jas take you here? Have you t Master Anderson?"
Julie’s aggressive tone made Hilla a little unhappy. Julie was glaring at Hilla as if she were to kill her at any ti.
There was only one reason for a woman to be so angry from the mont they t. They were rivals in love!
Was Julie Bruce’s lover at the company?
Looking at the sexy and attractive Julie in front of her, Hilla found Julie’s red short skirt figure-flattering. She looked mature, wise, and confident. She must be attractive to n.
She may be a match for Bruce with that temperant. But Hilla then thought that Julie might be too vulgar for Bruce.
Hilla nodded, "I have seen Master Anderson. As for my relationship with Mr. Anderson, I think it’s a private matter."
Julie banged the desk, and the pen on it fell to the ground.
It was so sudden that Hilla was startled, but Julie looked at her with fierce eyes.
"You have just entered the company and you are so arrogant. Let tell you, nobody can steal Rudi from . Only I can help him in the Anderson Group. You are such a little girl. He can spoil you now, but when he feels tired of you, he will kick you out."
Whom did she say? Rudi?
Hilla shivered. How could she be with that asshole? Only Julie would think him charming. She felt disgusted just by looking at him.
So Julie had thought that she had a relationship with Rudi.
Hilla rubbed her forehead and said, "Don’t worry, Bruce is yours. I won’t like him."
Julie was slightly stunned. She did not expect Hilla, who had been so arrogant just now, to go soft so quickly. Hilla was so young that it was easy to frighten her.
"Tell , how long have you been with him?"
Julie couldn’t help but want to know more about her. She had to worry about the won in the company every day. She didn’t expect that there would be a newcor.
Hilla was young and beautiful. She lit up the entire design departnt the mont she entered.
How could she be at ease when Hilla was in the departnt?
"Who are you talking about?"
Hilla blinked and asked innocently. She had said that she would not be with Rudi. Why did she still insist on it? Hilla didn’t want to offend the head of the departnt on her first day of work.
"Rudi!" Julie gritted her teeth as she said this. Hilla quickly waved her hand and said, "I have nothing to do with him. I promise." Julie was the only one who thought he was good.
Hilla looked sincere and Julie was relieved. Julie said, "Then why did Jas guide you here?"
She hadn’t forgotten this.
Hilla rolled her eyes and lied, "Jas is my cousin. He has begged ... Master Anderson to let work here. You just said Mr. Anderson, and I thought you were talking about Master Anderson. I don’t know the Rudi you were talking about."
After hearing her explanation, Julie smiled. "So that’s it. I’ve misunderstood. Jas indeed has a high status in the Anderson Group and you are his cousin."
"Yeah." She should tell Bruce to stick to the story later.
"Let’s go. I’ll introduce you to the departnt."
Julie was nice to her imdiately. Hilla realized how unpredictable people might be.
...
"I heard that there is a girl new in the design departnt and she’s gorgeous."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I saw her too. She looks exactly like my ideal wife."
The cafeteria, which was usually lively and full of gossips, beca particularly noisy today because of Hilla.
Hilla was arranged to the design departnt by Jas. She had sent a ssage to Bruce but got no reply.
By lunchti, she could only hide in the bathroom, trying to figure out why Bruce had arranged her to work in the company.
"Have you heard that the company’s male staff all went to the cafeteria during lunchti?"
"I think it’s quite normal. They can’t go out to eat every day, can they?"
"But they ca for the girl from the design departnt. They say she’s a beauty."
"I heard about her too. It was Jas who took her to go through all of the employnt procedures. Has she gotten soone backing her? She must be good at seducing n."
"I think the sa with you! Dirty girl!"
The next door opened with a bang. The won gossiping there were startled and looked in the direction of the sound.
With just a glance, they gasped in astonishnt.
The girl in front of them was smiling, leaning against the door fra. Her small face was exquisite, with her long hair casually scattering in front of her chest.
She was tall and slender. She was wearing a long dress. Her lips curved, and the mole under her eyes made her even more attractive.
"Are you talking about ?"
Hilla’s voice was clear and crisp, like a lark singing, which can clear one’s mind.
Hilla blinked and approached them. She looked so gentle and fragile, while the two won were stunned. She said sweetly, "Thank you for your complint, auntie. I will do better!"
"Did she take that as a complint? Seriously?" They thought.
While they were still in a daze, Hilla had left, leaving them to stare at each other with their makeup nearly ruined, "This woman ... is so annoying."
"She is the new assistant from the design departnt. How dare she call us auntie?" One of the won said.
"We are only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, we are not aunties!" They thought.
Hilla ca out of the bathroom in a good mood. Instead of the cafeteria, she was heading to the design departnt. When the elevator door opened, Jas looked at her and smiled, "Miss Holt, Mr. Anderson is waiting for you upstairs."
"Who? Bruce?"
Hilla raised her eyebrows, saw that Jas was smiling, and entered the elevator.
The elevator went straight to the thirty-ninth floor, where the President’s office sat. She followed Jas to the door and watched him knock twice before turning around and saying seriously to her, "Mrs. Anderson, please!"
"What the hell!"
"Did he take himself as an overbearing president? It makes feel like the powerless heroines in those embarrassing novels," she thought.
Although reluctant, Hilla pushed the door and walked in.
Inside the spacious office, there were the floor-to-ceiling windows of a wall. Outside the window, the sky was clear and the clouds were white. She felt that she can nearly touch the sky.
Bruce was sitting on the sofa and waved at her with a smile. Two exquisite lunch boxes were on the table in front of him. Was he waiting for her for lunch?
Slightly raising her eyebrows, Hilla felt sweet by that thought.
But she pretended to be reluctant and quickly walked to him.
Jas closed the door the mont she stepped in.
Now, they were alone, so Hilla didn’t have to care about others. She ran over and asked, "I thought you want to keep your distance from , but what are you doing now, Mr. Anderson?"
She was still angry at him for tricking her out of the car this morning. She thought, "Won are narrow-minded, which is their nature."
Bruce ignored her complaints and pushed a lunch box towards her, saying, "I want to have lunch with you."
"How do you know that I haven’t eaten yet? I am very popular now. The male staffs in the cafeteria all want to invite for lunch. Oops, in just one day, your company has beco like this. They say I’m gorgeous."
Hilla rolled her eyes, glancing at the lunch box. Only she could say such an words in an adorable tone.
Bruce found her angry look even more attractive. He opened the lunch box and said gently, "Look, my dear Mrs. Anderson, these are your favorites."
"Mrs. Anderson? They call Miss Holt now."
Although she was an to him, she couldn’t help eating.
Bruce poured her a glass of warm water and said, "Drink so before you eat.
"If you want them to call you Mrs. Anderson, I will ask Jas to tell them."
Hilla got choked.
She took the cup and drank it to calm herself down. The rice got stuck in her throat, and tears ca out.
Bruce frowned and wiped her mouth with a tissue, "You are like a baby."
"It’s your fault. Mrs. Anderson? I’ve told them that I am Jas’s cousin."
"Cousin" was more appropriate for her age.
Bruce raised his eyebrows, saying simply, "So I have to call Jas cousin now."
Jas, who had just co to deliver docunts, was frightened. He grasped the folder in his hand in case he caused embarrassnt.
"You two can flirt with each other, but don’t drag in!" He thought.
"Mr. Anderson, these docunts need your signing. Take your ti, I will co back later!"
Jas finished his words without looking up and walked out in a rush after putting down the folder.
Hilla blinked at Bruce and said, "You are not a good boss. Your assistant is too afraid of you."
Bruce put his chicken wings into her lunch box and smiled. "Then why aren’t you afraid of ?"
"Why should I be afraid of you? You are not my boss. If you go bankrupt, I can turn to Halle. Maybe you have to rely on then."
"She is so optimistic, naive but considerate. She would still care about him if he goes bankrupt. How should he thank her for being so sweet?" Bruce thought.
"The Anderson Group cannot go bankrupt, but you should worry about yourself now." Bruce chuckled, approaching her.
Hilla blinked, looked at him getting closer, and asked, "Why should I?"
He grinned playfully, and said, "Just you and I are here. Don’t you worry that I might want to make out with you now?"
