Chapter ５

"Wait, you're going to ride the elevator with me, and when we get to the parking lot, you're going to get in my car. I'll take you out to supper when we finish shopping for new clothing and changing into them."

I did not agree and said that I was sorry but that I needed to go early.

"Aren't you going?"

"Yes, I'm just getting started here. I just don't feel like going to that dinner party."

"Donna Davis, you’re just a public secretary. Don't act like you have no clue."

"Thank you very much for minister Davis's praise; but, I truly do not want to depart,"

I shifted my focus and left the room.

This guy actually believes that if he has money, then he is wonderful. What a load of nonsense!

My hand was taken away just as I was about to press the button for the elevator.

"I'll give you one more opportunity to mull it over in your head. If you don't give careful consideration to the situation this time, I'll make your life much more miserable than a dog's!"

Even if I have no money nor authority, I will not stand for being intimidated.

"Are you sneering?"

Andrew Allen asked.

"Minister Allen, are you completely oblivious?"

I said furiously

Andrew Allen can’t believe what he heard.

"Just because you have some money does not give you the right to behave like an estrous puppy.

Be careful not to turn yourself into a gigolo!"

I scrutinized him well before responding with,

"You can't make any money off of your appearance at a nightclub. "

Andrew Allen's face is flushed with rage since he has never been reprimanded in such a manner in his whole life.

"Poof."

Whoever laughed was not audible to me.

When Andrew Allen turned around to see who was laughing, he stopped dead in his tracks.

When I spotted the guy in front of me, I stopped moving as well.

Sean Matthews and Bruce Scott behind are approaching in silence from the other end of the hallway. Bruce Scott is the one who couldn't contain his grin at the moment. They are not far away.

Sean Matthews did not alter his appearance in any way, and the atmosphere was menacing.

Is Andrew Allen's office located on the same floor as Sean Matthews' office?

Despite the fact that he is just a distant cousin of the Matthews, Andrew Allen has a tremendous amount of fear.

"This new employee has been verbally abusive to the management staff, who have shown no regard for our organization, Mr. Matthews. such individuals are not permitted to continue working for our organization in any capacity."

After that, he cast a scornful glance in my direction!

as if to imply that if you insult me, you will be fired from your work.

This is exactly what I had in mind. Fire me fast! I just cannot wait!

The air became more strained. Sean Matthews stared at me with eyes that were dark and piercing, and he spoke in a tone that was deep and menacing. "She did a terrific job. She should start working as the president's secretary immediately. Now."

"Yes."

There was a nod from Bruce Scott.

After saying that, Sean Matthews went into the private elevator, and the door to the elevator closed behind him.

I just stood there dumbfounded. I was wondering whether there was something wrong with my ears.

Bruce Scott was queried in a hasty manner by Andrew Allen, "Just what is going on here? Promotion? Not dismissal?"

Bruce Scott grinned, but it was an oddly composed smile on his face. "Minister Allen, you should be thankful that Mr. Matthews did not demote you because you got into a fight with a subordinate in the firm." After that, he approached me and informed me, "report to the president secretary department first thing tomorrow morning."

After that, he departed.

My thoughts are racing in circles.

I apologized to Mr. Scott as I tried to get caught up.

"But I have no interest in advancing in my career. I believe that serving in a public sectretary capacity is beneficial."

Bruce Scott expressed a modicum of astonishment. "This is an instruction from Mr. Matthews, not to ask for your opinion," .

After that, he gave a kind grin before walking away.

I would be foolish to irritate Sean Matthews. If he finds out that I've been concealing his children, my relationship with him is over.

I went back to the house to prepare dinner for the kids, and then I sat in the far corner of the kitchen to think about whether or not I should quit from my job after tomorrow.

Will Sean Matthews be irritated by my resignation?

What are the repercussions of this decision?

"Alas..." I let out a long sigh.

"Mom?"

I raised my head and observed the kids as they entered the room. They approached me and crammed themselves into my arms.

I extended my arms and gave each of them a comforting embrace before asking, "What's the matter?"

"Mom, are you being bullied by anyone?"

When she inquired, Dora's expression was solemn and serious.

"Mom, let me assist you!"

The small hand gesture was made by Duke.

"Mom, you can count on me to assist you!"

Doris walked up behind me and wrapped his arm over my neck.

"Mom, I need a hug too...," the child said. Debbie said faintly.

I grinned. "I adore you each and every one of you darling kids."

When I think about how kind and intelligent the kids are, it makes my heart happy.

In addition to this, the kids inspired tremendous bravery inside my heart.

My vulnerability increases in direct proportion to the degree to which I am terrified.

The next day, I made my way to the president secretary department in order to report.

Bruce instructed me to get ready in advance and meet in the guest meeting room.

After making sure that everything in the meeting room was in order, I went outside to wait at the door.

I could see that the chiefs of several departments were approaching from a distance, so I hurriedly opened the door.

Is there nobody in the room?

When I turned around to lock the door, I found Sean Matthews standing there. He was dressed in a black suit and had a tall, straight figure. He had a powerful aura.

My diaphragm began to tighten.
