Chapter 1405
Vanessa pretended like she had not heard anything. Hence, the two colleagues gossiping in the pantry thought that Vanessa was oblivious to their words too. They smiled at her and said, "Vanessa, your lip color looks so pretty today. It must be No.43 from Chanel. It sells out every time."
"Yeah." In fact, that was not the case at all, but Vanessa did not feel like explaining to them at all. She would just let them think whatever they wanted.
The colleague who was badmouthing Vanessa moments ago, said with a smile, "Vanessa, it's really hard to get this lipstick! How did you get your hands on this? Let me know when you're buying it next time, okay? I want to get one for myself too. You know, for us women, it's never too much when it comes to buying lipstick, right?"
"Okay, I'll let you know," Vanessa said casually while she was making her coffee. She knew that these people didn't want her to buy the lipstick, they were trying to probe into her relationship with Director Julien.
After making her coffee, Vanessa left the pantry. Two voices sounded behind her, "She's just a woman who sells her body, how dare she behave this arrogantly?"
"Vanessa, Director Julien wants his coffee. Please make him a cup of coffee and send it to his office." Upon exiting the pantry, Vanessa ran into Julien's personal assistant, Joel Skylar.
"Okay." Vanessa nodded and was about to return to the pantry when Joel added, "If you need any help, just let me know. I'm happy to be at your service."
Vanessa joked. "I must be out of my mind if I really did that. How would I dare to order the president's right hand man around."
Joel replied, "The others can't order me around but you can."
Vanessa said again, "Stop joking around with me, Joel. I'll have to go make coffee for Director Julien now. If I'm a second late, I might actually get fired." Joel said, "Okay, you should go now."
Vanessa went back to the pantry. Perhaps, her colleagues in the pantry had heard her conversation with Joel. The two of them no longer gossiped about her, and their expressions appeared to be somber. Vanessa took out the president's exclusive coffee set and patiently made coffee for him. Julien was a picky person. He would never drink the coffee others made. For the past year, in addition to her usual secretarial work, she was also responsible for Julien's coffee. Therefore, whenever he had to go on a business trip, he would definitely bring her along with him.
Superficially, it seemed like she was there to make coffee for him but everyone knew that other than making coffee, she had an important duty, which was to warm the mighty Director Julien's bed! Vanessa knew very well that this was the path she had chosen for herself. No matter how difficult it was, she would grit her teeth and pull through it. She had sacrificed her body and got what she wanted. She would never deny that she had done it willingly.
Vanessa was lost in thought. She did not pay attention to the pot of coffee in her hand and accidentally poured the hot coffee onto the back of her hand. At that instant, the skin on her hand was scalded. She quickly rinsed her scalded hand under running cold water and instantly felt much better. However, there was not much time for her to take care of her hand. She had to quickly send the coffee to Julien's office.
Vanessa had the coffee in her hand and knocked on the door. When she was given permission to enter, she pushed the door open and stepped in.
In the office, Julien was buried in his work. When he heard her entering the room, he did not look up. Vanessa put the coffee on the table and said, "Director Julien, your coffee is here." "Okay." Julien answered in a calm tone.
Without saying anything else, Vanessa turned around and wanted to leave the office.
When she was about to walk towards the door, Julien stopped her. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Vanessa turned around. It was the first time that he had looked straight into her eyes since the night before. She tried to keep a polite smile as she said, "Director Julien, is there anything else you need me to do?"
Julien did not respond. He stared at her with his deep and complicated eyes for a few moments and looked away.
Although he was a man of few words, Vanessa knew a lot about him. Other than her secretarial duties, her job was to understand his preferences. She would usually try not to do anything that would upset him. "I can handle the work by myself. You don't have to worry about it."
Julien still remained silent. Vanessa continued, "I'll go out first then."
"Oh! Isn't this our beautiful Miss Love? I've been looking for you everywhere. It turns out that you are here." The person who appeared at the door was Levi Brown. He was the only person who dared to barge into the president's office without knocking on the door first.
Vanessa smiled. "Hi, Young Master Brown!"
Levi said, "Vanessa, let's have lunch together." Vanessa euphemistically refused. "I still have a lot of work to do. I'm afraid that I won't have any time for lunch."
Levi looked at Julien, who was working at the desk. He said, "I'm pretty sure that your boss is not someone who will exploit his employees. You should rest when it's time to rest. Am I right, our mighty Mr. Kyle?"
Julien remained silent. He did not even raise his head to look at them.
Levi was already used to Julien ignoring him, so he made his own decision, "Vanessa, you can get back to work first. I'll come look for you at noon. We'll try out that new Japanese restaurant." Vanessa said, "I'll get back to work first then."
Everyone in the company knew who Levi was. He was the total opposite of their new president. The new president was as cold as ice, but Levi on the other hand, burning with passion.
He would come to the office more often than the number of times he had gone home. He enjoyed flirting with the female secretaries, and whenever he was in a good mood, he would invite the secretaries out for a meal. And when he was in a bad mood, he would still invite them to a meal.
He would ask one of the beautiful secretaries out for a meal every day. Perhaps, he had spent half of his time having meals with them. That was one of the reasons why everyone liked him.
After Vanessa left the office, Levi sat on the sofa and said, "Julien, how about we do lunch together?"
Julien was still keeping his silence, as if he had not heard Levi at all.
"Are you really not joining us?" Levi asked again.
Julien still did not say a word.
Levi added, "Vanessa will be mine this afternoon then. You'd better not regret it."
Julien finally raised his head and looked at Levi with a somber gaze. He parted his lips and uttered in a low voice, "Get lost!"
Levi, "Even my mother has never asked me to get lost. Why should I listen to you?"
Julien picked up the receiver on his desk and dialed an extension number, "Joel, why is the company allowing random people to enter as they wish?"
After that, Julien hung up the phone. Levi smiled and said, "I am your family, your cousin, and a companion who grew up with you. I am not some random person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Joel came in with several security guards. "Director Julien."
Julien said, "Get him out of here. I don't want to see him in the company ever again."
Levi said, "Hey, Julien! I dare you to lay a finger on me."
