When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster Chapter 813: Did Chase Hire a Female Secretary?

"Exactly, wasn’t the secretary position specifically created for her? There’s absolutely no need, right? Even when the chairman was around, there wasn’t a single female secretary by his side."

"Won have too much drama; a little scheming could easily stir up a scandal involving President Fletcher."

Rachel Sherman stood just behind the door, her fingers gripping the door handle, completely frozen.

She stayed that way until the sound of footsteps and gossip faded away after they finished washing their hands.

Only then did she take a silent breath, opened the door, and stepped out to stand in front of the sink, staring at her reflection in the mirror.

She was truly speechless.

The faucet was sensor-activated; she snapped out of her trance, placed her hands under the running water, bent over to collect a handful and splashed it on her face to gently pat herself, trying to stay calm.

In this world, as long as there are people around you, you can’t escape hearing gossip; so people just can’t bear to see others doing well.

Especially towards won, even if they’re strangers, harboring intense malice is in the nature of so people.

She can’t change others; all she can do is do her job well.

The two female employees chatted about President Fletcher’s sudden hire of a secretary as they walked towards the elevator—

"It’s obviously a specially created position. Don’t be fooled by her plain looks; she’s probably already won over our President Fletcher behind the scenes."

Their tone carried a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentnt.

This was overheard by another female employee coming towards them; she hadn’t heard the beginning but understood the last few words—

Already won over our President Fletcher behind the scenes???

She stopped and furrowed her brows in confusion, "Wait, what did you just say? Who won over President Fletcher?"

Her na was Jasmine Quinn, known within the company and, although so might not recognize her, most knew of her. It’s rumored she’s distantly related to President Fletcher.

The two female employees halted, their mirthful eyes falling on her, and responded with a touch of mischief—

"Jasmine Quinn, you don’t know yet? President Fletcher hired a female secretary!"

"Didn’t you say if the President was to hire a secretary, he’d transfer you to the Executive Office? How co you’re still here and haven’t heard the news?"

Upon hearing this, the girl was dumbfounded, "Seriously? Chase hired a secretary?"

"The whole company knows, and today that female secretary even got out of President Fletcher’s car; who knows what happened last night!"

"Jasmine Quinn, maybe you should stop bragging. If President Fletcher cared about you, why would he hire a female secretary to bother you?"

"Exactly, even if the workload is truly overwhelming, why not hire a man? Or let you step in?"

As she watched these two leave proudly, Jasmine Quinn was so angry she wanted to stomp her foot. What’s going on?!

Chase hired a female secretary, and she had no clue!!

On the way back to the office, she was so upset she almost twisted her ankle several tis.

Chase, all good, what do you need a female secretary for?

Doesn’t he know won have a lot of drama?

Later, as soon as she entered the office, she was bombarded with discussions about President Fletcher hiring a female secretary.

Her colleagues couldn’t resist pulling her into the gossip—

"Jasmine, quickly tell us, what’s that woman’s background?"

"Yeah, she not only beca President Fletcher’s secretary, but we heard they even ca over together in his car this morning."

"Jasmine, you’re close to the Fletcher Family. Do you know this woman? Is she so distant relative as well?"

It seed the fact that Chase hired a female secretary... was now a reality.

Jasmine Quinn worked hard to process it, lifting the corners of her mouth, striving not to lose composure—

"Why are you all so gossipy? Have you finished your work? If you’re so curious, why don’t you directly ask President Fletcher?"

"Oh, you’re unwilling to answer, aren’t you?" Instantly, soone started to criticize, "How did you boast before? You said once Assistant Fletcher left, you’d take over, but what happened? He hasn’t even left yet, and they’ve parachuted in a female secretary!"

"You..." Jasmine Quinn was very angry, but this was a losing argunt, and there was no point in quarreling.

Her opponent wasn’t these colleagues, but that parachuted woman!
