Chapter 777 - 777 HER SECRETARY II

777 HER SECRETARY II

When Cayenne woke up, it was almost lunchtime already. You could say that she just went to sleep there.

Stefan bought something for her to eat already instead of going out to have lunch. For the first time, since there were several of them on the top floor, they decided to use the mini kitchen to have lunch. Kyle was there since he helped his sister with the foundation and the office was basically located in Stefan’s company. Since it was their first time meeting each other, Stefan invited Cayenne’s newly-hired secretary to join them for lunch. Erwin came down from the security room and had lunch with them as well.

“This is your secretary,” Stefan told Cayenne as he formally introduced the man to his wife. “This Jackson Mondejar.”

“Hello, Mrs. Dumrique. It’s nice meeting you. I hope we’ll be a good team.”

“Just call me Ms. Yen. You sounded so distant when calling me Mrs. Dumrique. I hope for good cooperation with you as well.”

“When shall I start working with you, Ms. Yen?”

“How about today?” Kyle suggested when he heard this question. “My sister will be vlogging or more like recording her visit to Mr. Julio Laborada. You can go with her and help her if she needed something.”

“Will I be carrying a camera with me?”

“No, you don’t have to.” It was Stefan who answered him this time. “All her bodyguards are equipped with recording devices so that everything will be recorded from different angles. You just have to be there if she needed water or something.”

.....

“O-okay. Is it part of my job to edit the video after recording it?”

“That’s our job,” Tristan responded while pointing his fingers at Kyle and Erwin. “Sometimes, her brother Luiz would also help. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the recording and the editing part.”

Jackson nodded his head in understanding and he also wanted to know more of the woman whom he will be working for. “I’ll do my best. Please correct me whenever I do something wrong. I’ll take it as my lesson for improvement.”

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Stefan sent Cayenne off at the lobby even though he really wanted to go with her. Although it was holiday and most people wouldn’t be working, Stefan had scheduled work for today. He had to finish as much work as he could because he has other plans for his whole family before the year ends. All other things were cramped up in October and November so that he’d have one whole month free in December.

“Take care of yourself always and no matter how small the discomfort you feel with your stomach, do not hesitate to call me.”

“Yes, sir.”

“No matter how faint or how little the discomfort, you hear me?” Stefan reminded his wife once again as he kissed her cheeks. “Don’t forget.”

“Yes. Yes. I got it. I’ll call you no matter how small the problem is.” Tipping her toes to increase her height, Cayenne kissed Stefan’s lips and smiled mischievously. “I’m reminded of the day I skipped class and rendezvous with you in that hotel.”

“You are giving me a hard time.”

“Sorry.” She expressed which didn’t look sincere because she was grinning at him. “We’ll leave now. I’ll be sure to get home as soon as I could.”

“O-okay. Have a safe trip.”

Cayenne finally left and Stefan watched his wife stepped inside the car followed by Kyle and another female staff who works in her foundation office. Jackson sat shotgun with the driver and the bodyguards used another three vehicles; one in front and two at the rear.

Since it will be half an hour travel to get to where Mr. Laborada lives, Cayenne decided to ask her secretary some question in order to get to know him better. After all, she’ll be spending a lot of time with him due to his work. “Before applying as my secretary, what was your work?”

Jackson scratched the back of his head awkwardly when he heard this question because he wasn’t sure if he should tell Cayenne about it. When he talked to Stefan, he didn’t have any qualms in answering his question because they were both men. However, it was different when it comes to Cayenne. He didn’t want his employer to have a bad impression of him.

“You don’t have to answer it if you are not comfortable with my question. As long as you didn’t do anything illegal that might bring some trouble in the future.”

“No. Not at all. I never did something like that. I...I was just...well, I wasn’t really working anything related to secretarial work, but I studied it in college. I was a shut in who loves to play computer games and just read novels and manga works.”

“Then, how did you get into this work?”

“My best friend, uhm, he told me to explore the reality of this world, to stop staying in my room alone. When I opened my laptop to find a work I can do, someone shared Mr. Dumrique’s post about the vacant position. I just tried it and I got in.”

“Really?” Cayenne wondered why Stefan told him that he trusted in this man’s skill when he didn’t do any work prior to this job. “Did my husband test you during the application? I am just kind of surprise that you got in despite not having any experience in this field. He must have seen something on you.”

“On the day of my job interview, he asked me several questions which lasted for about half an hour.”

[Only my husband would interview someone that long for a job.] Cayenne expressed mentally.

“After that, there was a booklet which was all related to you and I have to input as much information I know about you since you will be my employer.”

[Tristan didn’t take this kind of test when he applied for the same work in the past.] She told herself when she recalled the time that Tristan applied as Stefan’s secretary.

“I almost didn’t past the second exam. Well, I heard that many applicants flunk this part.”

[It’s already a miracle that you were able to pass it. I can’t imagine the time you spent just to learn things about me.]

“The last part of the test was an actual secretarial work. He had a meeting with Mr. Guevarra and I had to pretend as his real secretary. At the same time, Ms. Elena was there to supervise me. After the meeting, they evaluated my work and I passed. He told me that among the applicants, I was the only one who remained calm and did the job properly.”

[No wonder you passed. The others must have been tensed the whole time knowing that they’d be working with this big shot in the business world as part of the test.]

“So, here I am.”

Cayenne clapped her hands and gave him a thumbs up. “You are suited to this work, I must say. What Stefan wanted in his employee was the ability to stay calm and to think properly no matter who he’s going to talk to. I promise you that you won’t have a hard time with me.”

“I’ll be in your care, Ms. Yen.”

“Likewise.”
