Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 39: You Can Cut Ties When You Want To

Rose came out of the office and happened to see James. She didn't have a good impression of James NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

because of Hans. Moreover, she thought that she was likely to get fired after what she did, so she

wasn't in a good mood. When James looked at her, she rolled her eyes at him.

Jennifer was sitting in the secretary office. In her notebook was the stock trend of the day for Joy Group

and a few other media companies. She was taking notes with her head down. She was so focused on

her work that if you ignored her swollen eyes, it was as if she wasn't just being bullied.

Rose sighed. Why was she the one more anxious than Jennifer?

"Jennifer, what are you going to do in the future?"

Jennifer didn't look up as if trying to cover up her pale face. She said lightly, "Continue working and

living."

"I'm asking about you and Hans. Didn't you say you're going to cut ties with him?"

Rose slammed her hands on the desk imposingly. "Don't tell me you changed your mind. You have to

be insistent when you want to cut ties, it's not like he can kidnap you!"

Jennifer felt her temples twitch. She was unwilling to talk about this now. When she heard Hans's

name, she felt her legs go limp and couldn't help clenching her fingers forcefully with her fingertips.

The pencil broke and the tip landed on the folder at the side. It spun around a few times before sliding

down and landing on the floor. Then, it rolled to the corner.

Seeing that she looked at the pen in silence, Rose anxiously said, "Hey, I stacked my career on this

and you are still so indecisive! Are you trying to piss me off?"

Jennifer was in a daze, she spoke after a long time.

"People can always cut ties if they want to. If they can't break it, they probably just don't want to."

She was still looking at the pen like she was talking to herself.

Rose was not good at language. She hated all these artsy things since she was a child. She was

confused by what Jennifer said and she looked impatient.

"What's that? You are just thinking too much. In my opinion, the two of you are just looking for trouble. If

you don't cause any trouble every day, both of you will feel uncomfortable..."

Thinking of how she was about to lose her job because of this but Jennifer was still the same as before,

being abused by Hans willingly, Rose felt that it was not worth risking her job to stand up for Jennifer.

She was contemplating to rush into the office and apologized to Hans to save her job.

As they were talking, someone knocked on the glass door of the secretary's office.

Rose and Jennifer looked up and saw Scott, the deputy manager of the HR department, standing at the

door with a document in his arms. He was dressed in a suit, looking handsome and well-dressed.

Rose froze. "I just shouted at Hans and now HR is already here to talk about my resignation?

"His is too revengeful." Rose thought.

"Secretary Jennifer, Secretary Rose, we have already emailed every department about the personnel

resignation notice..."

"Wait a minute..." Rose interrupted Scott. "I need to be mentally prepared."

Scott was taken aback. "You... need to be mentally prepared? This..."

He just got the quarterly personnel change document from James and HR had just designed the

quarterly recruitment plan. He was just going to show it to someone in the secretary office before

handing it over to Hans for his signature.

"Why not? You will understand how I feel now when this happens to you someday."

Rose reluctantly looked at her table that was covered in celebrities merchandise. Every day, except for

picking up the internal phone calls and going back and forth between the President's office and the

secretary's office, she didn't have much else to do. She was not as hardworking as Jennifer who would

also make revisions and notes for her subordinates. Rose would basically just send the documents

back to the department if something was wrong. Every department always wanted to take advantage of

other people so her strong temper was actually good for her. Most importantly, where else could she

find a job with a monthly salary of 20,000 dollars.

"The personnel resignation notice..."

Scott was anxious to settle the matter in the morning. He was puzzled to see Rose being sad.

"Alright, stop it. I know, I know, I'll pack up my things by myself..."

She interrupted Scott again, walked to her table and reluctantly said goodbye to her desk. She cursed

Hans up and down in her head and looked like she was about to cry.

"Huh?" Scott was completely at a loss. "Secretary Rose, why are you packing up? Are you taking leave

in the afternoon? Should I ask Secretary Jennifer to sign my file?"

He asked Rose for help because he saw Jennifer was busy just now.

Rose came to her senses for a moment, " My signature?"

However, she became defeated again. "I have to sign the resignation report myself, right?"

Scott thought that Rose was going to check the procedure, so he said hurriedly,

"The procedures were done, everyone else who resigned has already signed the paper, except for

Jane from the finance department who was fired. So because of this, HR has re-established this

quarterly recruitment plan. We need Mr. Hans to sign it."

Rose was still deep in the sadness of losing her job, she muttered, "Everyone has signed it except for

me..."

Before she could finish her words, she realised something from Scott's words. She stopped and asked,

"What did you say? What are you sending?"

"Quarterly... quarterly recruitment plan..." Scott was young and had just become the deputy manager.

He did not dare to offend the secretaries. When he saw Rose suddenly glared at him, he was so

scared that he stuttered.

Jennifer was made speechless by the miscommunication between the two of them. She had read the

resignation notice from Scott in her email just now. Rose's name was not on it. Rose was imagining

things and she scared Scott half to death.

At this moment, Rose couldn't restrain herself but cheered out loud after she survived this ordeal. She

took Scott's documents and patted his shoulder to guarantee him. "I'll send this in as soon as possible,

and then I'll send the documents to the HR department!"

Scott was frightened and thought that she had an ulterior motive. "No, no, I'll just take it myself"

Like he was a rabbit staring at a wolf.

Just as Scott was about to leave, Jennifer looked at the list of resignation notices in the email. She

looked absent-minded. "Scott, why is Jane Maddow fired?"

Joy Group did not have a precedent of firing people. Even if someone did something wrong and the

company wanted to get rid of them, the company would ask the HR department to talk to the person

first and let them resign themselves. In that case, the person would feel better and it would look better

on their resume.

Being fired from Joy Group, such a record was enough to ruin her future in this industry.

Scott shrugged and seemed to know nothing about it. "I'm not sure. James personally came to HR to

inform us. She probably offended Mr. Hans."
