Chapter 51
"Thank you," Trevor casually replied.
Immediately after, he turned to look at the report in his hands.
"Please enjoy your coffee."
Jessica deliberately lowered her voice and stepped aside.
She calmed herself down and thought, "There is nothing to worry about. I have changed a lot, so he won't be able to recognize me. I can't believe that Trevor is the chairman of Brightside Union Company. However, it is not much of a surprise. After all, he has invested in more than a hundred companies around the country. It has been three years since we last met.
I didn't expect him to learn how to say thank you."
"How much money did I invest in Brightside Union Company this year?"
Trevor clenched the report in his hands and asked in a deep voice. The manager who was sitting at the side smiled as he leaned close and replied, "The head company has invested 22.5 million this year." Bang!
The next second, the report that was in Trevor's hand flew right into the trash can.
"22.5 million and this is what I get in return? If I get the same report next month, I'll withdraw my investment."
"Don't worry. We will definitely improve our business. Please drink some coffee and calm down," the manager responded carefully as he forced a smile.
Jessica stood in the corner and secretly shook her head. She had read the sales department's financial report, so she knew that it was a mess.
The company was heavily corrupt. If the problem wasn't dealt with, all investments would eventually go to waste.
Trevor solemnly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
The next moment, he froze and wondered, "This coffee's sweetness is precisely the same level as the coffee I drink at home every night. I always drink coffee with this much sugar because I tasted Jessica's coffee, which has precisely this sweetness level. How is it possible that someone can make a cup of coffee precisely at this sweetness level?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"What's wrong? Is this coffee not your taste?"
When the manager saw Trevor holding the cup of coffee expressionlessly, he felt worried.
"The coffee is cold. Go prepare another cup for me. I want it to have the same level of sweetness," Trevor replied as he put down the cup of coffee.
After hearing that, the manager hurriedly turned to Jessica. It was Jessica's first day at the job,
so he didn't know her name and could only address her with her job position. "Secretary, hurry up and prepare another cup of coffee."
"Yes, sir."
With that, Jessica hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the cup of coffee under everyone's gaze.
Everyone else in the room was puzzled. After all, Trevor hated trouble. It didn't matter whether he was at work or at a cafe. If something didn't suit his taste, he would put it down and leave, let alone care whether the coffee had gotten cold. Jessica went to the pantry and prepared another cup of coffee. However, she deliberately made it sweeter than the previous cup. After that, she returned to the conference room.
Trevor took a sip and instantly realized that it was sweeter than the previous cup. Hence, he thought that the sweetness level of the previous cup of coffee was just a coincidence.
With that, he put the cup of coffee down and continued to discuss the financial report.
Meanwhile, Jessica stood in a corner with her head lowered throughout the whole meeting.
The meeting soon ended. After all, Trevor always kept things short and got straight to the point.
It was after Jessica watched Trevor left with the crowd following behind him that she felt relieved.
"You must be the new secretary. Mr. Collins from the sales department wants you to head over to retrieve a document," an alluring-looking woman, who was standing at the side, said to Jessica as she looked at her contemptuously. "Okay."
Jessica nodded and said nothing more. It was a first day at work, and she didn't want to make any enemies.
Furthermore, there were always seniors in a company who looked down on newcomers and liked to order people around. After all, there were all sorts of people in the world.
As soon as Jessica turned around, she heard the woman discussing with another employee.
"The new secretary is here. I wonder how long she will be able to stay."
"No matter how many new secretaries they hire, sooner or later, the secretaries will become scapegoats. It'll be a miracle if she stays for more than three days." "You're right. Our company is known for changing secretaries often."
