The face of Secretary Lawrence instantly turned livid, his eyes were filled with disbelief and fear. This time, he got the opportunity to serve as Secretary Mabel's secretary. Although there was the factor of his family's clandestine operations, it was more because of his competing performances, keeping pace with Mabel at every step, which Mabel appreciated a lot.
This made him determined to seize this opportunity firmly, serving her as diligently as if she were an empress dowager. However, he did not expect this dreadful reversal of fortune, to come so unexpectedly and ferociously. Mabel, although she usually seemed aloof, but not unkind to Lawrence, was surprisingly furious, even scolding him harshly and directly stripping him of his secretary status.
Lawrence was like an eggplant thawing from frostbite, almost collapsing. He was angry but dared not lash out. He felt wronged but dared not express it.
