Chapter 277
The man who entered Bernard’s office was one of the secretaries of the vice president.
He was, in fact, “Secretary Sean” in the gossip group chat. After receiving the news in the group chat, he deliberately showed up to see what Hera looked like.
When he saw Hera, he froze. It was just like the receptionist had described–Hera was beautiful.
She was so beautiful that he was jealous of her beauty somehow. Two years ago, when Sean joined Shuttle Ventures, Bernard just so happened to take over the company.
Sean had only caught a glimpse of Bernard’s face from afar, but he’d been attracted to Bernard’s good looks ever since.
He heard later that Bernard was single and never got close or intimate with women. Bernard would rather let go of the chance to inherit the Killian family’s shares than marry just
any woma
At that time, Sean was secretly glad that he was a man because he could get on Bernard’s good side. That was why Sean made himself look presentable every day, hoping to get close to Bernard at the company.
Not only was Bernard attractive, but he was also rich and had a good figure
are. Sean would be content for the rest of his life if he could enter into a “relationship with Bernard, even if it meant not being able to marry him
Bringing his attention back to the present, Sean felt that it didn’t matter if the woman in the office looked pretty. He was sure that Bernard wouldn’t spare her a glance.
“I’ve brought you coffee,” said Sean as he placed a cup of coffee on the table.
His renewed confidence was apparent in his voice.
“Thanks. Are you Mr. Killian’s secretary? Hera asked, glancing at him.
Sean wasn’t that dashing compared to others, but his facial features were prominent enough
His hair was slightly permed, and he looked smart in his clothes. He even smelled of cologne.
If someone were to look closely, they would see that he’d put on some light makeup that was barely noticeable.
Sean clucked his tongue, slightly annoyed. He thought about how wonderful ir’d be if he truly were Bernard’s secretary and could always stay by Bernard’s side.
Unfortunately, Bernard rarely came to the company. Even if he did, he’d give Douglas Instructions.
Sean had no opportunity to offer his assistance. At most, he could admire Bernard’s handsomeness when he brought drinks into the office
“Yes. I can help pass on your message to Mr. Kilian if you need me,” said Sean.
Bernard showed up to the company no more than five times in a year. And since Douglas left without even telling anyone about Hera after bringing her here, it could only mean that she wasn’t that significant of a person.
As the vice president’s secretary, Sean could do whatever he wished to someone insignificant at the company.
“Are Mr. Killian’s secretaries all men?” Hera asked.
Sean was displeased. He didn’t like how conceited Hera seemed when she asked him that
Gruffly, he said, “Yes. So if you’re trying to get close to him by seducing him, just give up. He doesn’t like women ”
Hera was flabbergasted
She wondered if this was a “secret commonly acknowledged and known throughout the company
“If you have nothing else to do here, please leave,” Sean told her.
“Mr. Killian won’t see you. He isn’t here at the moment‘
Hera’s gaze turned cold.
“He isn’t here, you say?”
All the staff there were supposed to keep the fact that Bernard rarely appeared at the company a secret.
Realizing that he’d made a slip of the tongue, Sean quickly added, “That’s right. He has to meet a client today, so he isn’there”
The moment he finished speaking, the door to the office abruptly opened. Demand strode in, looking as cold and unapproachable as usual
“Swee-“Bernard started to say but shut up when he saw that he and Hera weren’t the only ones in the office
“M–Mr. Killian!” Sean stuttered, surprised to see Bernard there.
He looked as if he’d seen a ghost
He pondered why Bernard was present
No one informed him that Bernard would be at the company that day,
Her smiled softly when she saw Beard.
“Didn’t you say Mr. Killian wouldn’t be here today?”
Bernard’s expression turned cold when he heard that. He glanced at Sean, who shuddered in tear.
Douglas, who had been following Bernard from behind, walked into the office only to be appalled by the scene u Had he just been thrown under the bus by an awful teammate after having to rush all the way here?
