Chapter 106
106 . He Was Wearing the New Watch That She Had Given Him
Jessie, who had been waiting for him to reply, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this message.
This man was really childish!
All the employees in the coffee shop could get food. Jessie usually cooked with them in the kitchen of the coffee shop
Alex’s message came late. Jessie’s food had already been prepared. He did not say that he had to eat anything, so she packed
two portions of the food and carried them to the Mumen Group building.
She was teased by Sally, “No wonder Boss Alex wants to open your shop here. It turns out that he had planned this beforehand
and was waiting for you to give him a caring lunch. He, a great president, is actually interested in showing off your love?”
Jessie was teased until her face turned red. She patted her and walked to the door to return,” Sally, don’t tell him about Fifi’s
arrival. You also need to remind Rafael later.”
“Okay. Fifi is the granddaughter of Laurent family. You don’t want Boss Alex to be stuck in the middle, so of course we won’t talk
too much. I’m just worried for you. What if Fifi continues to be so against you in the future? When you marry into the Laurent
family in the future, She’s also your uncle’s niece. You can’t hit her, and you can’t scold her either. But you can’t always be
bullied by her!”
Jessie pondered for a few seconds and smiled, “The person I want to follow is Alex. As long as he treats me well, I don’t care
how others look at me.”
This was also what Alex told her.
Sally also revealed a smile. “It’s good that you can think that way. It’s not like we are living for other people. Why should we care
about what other people think? Hurry up and give your love meal to him. Boss Alex has a bad temper. If you make him wait for
too long... He might not even let you come back in the afternoon!”.
It was Jessie’s first time entering the Mumen Group. She had been in the R City for so many years, but she had only heard of
this big company.
In the past, she would occasionally take a public bus and pass by the Group Building. From the window, she could see the
famous Mumen Group on the building. The five words, she would also be like everyone who saw it, sighing in admiration for the
courage to create such a wealthy empire’s leader.
After sighing in admiration, she continued to follow the path of her life, living her ordinary
She had never thought that in her life, she would be like today, dating the man at the peak of this building, and preparing to
marry him hand in hand...
Thinking of this, when she walked into the bright and high-end hall in the building, her face couldn’t help but heat up.
A security guard walked over and respectfully asked her who she was looking for.
Only then did Jessie wake up. This kind of place definitely wouldn’t let strangers in easily. It was all because she was nervous
and forgot to ask Alex before she came.
She smiled apologetically to security guard and took out her phone to send Alex a WeChat message, “I am in the lobby of your
company. Security guard asked me who I am looking for...
She waited for a while but he did not reply to her.
She was wondering if he did not see the message she sent and if she should call him directly.
Security guard’s walkie-talkie rang. It was Rick’s voice. “Miss Jessie? Please wait a moment. I’ll come downstairs to pick you up
immediately!”
Hearing Rick’s respectful tone towards her, security guard and the two beauties at the front desk in the hall instantly felt respect
for Jessie. Even their smiles became much gentler.
That security guard even repeatedly apologized to Jessie and respectfully sent her to the elevator entrance to wait.
Jessie’s face became even redder and politely thanked him.
Jessie was being reserved when Rick walked out of the elevator. When he saw Jessie, a warm smile bloomed on his face. “Miss
Jessie, please follow me. Boss is waiting for you in the office.
“Thank you!”
In the elevator, Jessie was so shy that she did not dare to look at Rick’s face.
She also did not know how Alex explained to Rick that she had come here.
Rick pressed the top button and asked with a smile, “Boss’s new watch was given by you, right?”
Jessie looked up at him.
In the morning, she saw that he only threw the watch into the drawer of the car. Did he take the initiative to tell Rick about this?
She could not imagine a man like Alex telling his subordinates that he had received a watch. She smiled embarrassedly. “I just
saw that he helped me a lot recently. I didn’t mean anything else. It was just a gift of thanks.”
“Your taste is quite good!” Rick said sincerely, “Boss really likes it.”
He now completely understood. As long as Jessie and boss got along well, their treatment as subordinates would also become
better. Looking at this, the person he was welcoming at this moment was very likely the future Mrs. President!
Jessie smiled and did not have much to say.
When she saw Alex in the morning, she did not see how much he liked this watch...
Rick brought her to the entrance of president’s office and helped push the door open for her t o enter. Only then did he close the
door for them.
The moment the door closed, the colleagues who had not gone to eat lunch rushed over in unison and surrounded Rick tightly.
“Assistant Rick, who is that beauty?”
“Is she a relative of Boss Alex?”
“I heard that Boss Alex has quite a few beautiful relatives. Which one is this relative?”
“Assistant Rick, it’s easier for you to get close to her. I think she suits you very well. Did you g o to her for love?”
The more they talked, the more ridiculous it became. Rick’s heart was pounding when he heard it. He quickly pushed them away
from the office door and said in a low voice, “Are you tired of the company’s work? Don’t want to work anymore? That’s the lover
of our boss. You dare to use her for fun? Do you not want to live anymore?”
In the office.
Jessie carried the lunchbox and walked in uneasily. Alex was still busy in front of the computer behind the desk.
“Go to the sofa and wait for me.” He glanced at her and then looked back at the computer screen. His long fingers were tapping
on the keyboard smoothly.
“Okay.” Jessie replied and stepped on the dark velvet carpet towards the sofa area.
There was a black leather sofa, a mahogany coffee table, a desk of the same color, and a few pots of green bonsai full of vitality.
The office was very big, and the renovation style seemed to have been around for some time, giving off a strong vintage vibe.
Jessie sat sideways on the sofa and took out the lunchboxes layer by layer, placing them neatly on the coffee table.
She inadvertently looked up and saw the man working seriously behind the desk.
He was completely different from the domineering and childish look in WeChat. At this
moment, he was as calm and focused as a person in front of her.
He was dressed in a black suit and a thin patterned tie that looked as if they had just been ironed. His large hands, which had
distinct joints, occasionally moved from the keyboard to the mouse beside him. From the sleeve of the black suit, a pure white
shirt was revealed. The thin and powerful wrist bone was wearing the new watch that she had given him.
Jessie remembered that Rick had said, The Boss especially likes it, and her lips involuntarily curved up.
At this moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door came from outside.
Alex did not even raise his head. “Come in.”
The one who came in was principal secretary and Shubi from the secretary department. She wore a light brown suit, which made
her slim figure taller. Her light makeup was suitable. She was a beauty with both beauty and temperament.
She walked straight to the desk and smiled naturally and familiarly. “Boss Alex, I have already booked a seat in the R’s
Restaurant across the street. Can we go there now?”
Alex had finished his work. He turned off the computer screen and looked at her. “I already have lunch.”
He did not look at her anymore. He walked around the desk and headed to lounge. He did not forget to tell Jessie, “I will go wash
my hands.”
He suddenly spoke to this side, causing that woman to also look at Jessie. Jessie somewhat felt a little uncomfortable and
replied, “Okay.” Then she smiled at that woman.
The woman had a smile on her face when she looked at Alex just now. Now when she faced Jessie, her smile was a little stiff,
but she still politely nodded her head and said, “Hello!”
After greeting each other, the two of them did not have any other topic to talk about.
Jessie felt a little awkward, so she looked away. The food was ready, and she went to get the chopsticks again.
Shubi had never seen an unfamiliar young woman in Alex’s office. Looking at the two servings of lunch on the coffee table, she
was even more curious about Jessie and could not help but carefully observe her.
She was wearing a coffee colored shirt. She was wearing a light blue loose sweater, a white denim long skirt, white wooden
shoes, a simple bun, and a pair of watery big eyes on her pretty oval face. It was similar to the female college students that the
company recruited when they went to the university campus. Pure, clean, and she looked like she had never experienced the
world.
Shubi thought that Jessie was invited by part-time delivery man in the restaurant and was waiting for Alex to pay for lunch. She
took out her phone and walked over. “You are a delivery
man, right? How much are these two servings? I will transfer them to you.”
Jessie was stunned and immediately waved her hand and smiled, “I am not...”
The sound of the door opening in the direction of lounge sounded. Alex walked out and saw Shubi was still there. He said lightly,
“Why aren’t you going to eat?”
The phone in Shubi’s hand was still in front of Jessie.
Alex walked over and sat next to Jessie. He took the chopsticks from her hand and only then did he notice Shubi’s frozen hand
in the air, “Secretary, you can go out now.”
She was chased away by him again and again. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shubi’s exquisite face. She nodded
and put away her phone and walked towards the office door.
When she walked to the door, her hand that was holding the phone tightly withdrew. She smiled again and turned her head,
seemingly casually asking, “Boss Alex, Chief Fino needs to bring a female companion to attend tonight’s golden wedding
celebration. I will prepare the formal attire of the two of us according to the standards of the last wedding, right?”
Her words were faintly provocative and Jessie could not help but look over again.
Shubi did not look at her as if she was really just casually bringing up this question. Alex moved a plate of oily lettuce in front of
him to Jessie and still did not raise his head,” You do not need to go tonight.”
Shubi’s face turned slightly pale and forced a smile. “Okay, I understand, Boss Alex.”
Her hand holding the phone tightened again. She did not have the nerve to stay any longer. She pulled open the office door and
walked quickly.
Jessie watched her disappear and only then did she withdraw her gaze.
She used her eyes to look at Alex who was sitting beside her.
In the office, he looked more domineering and calm. He was the kind of man who was very charming, no matter if it was his
appearance, figure, or family background. There were naturally many women around him who had feelings for him.
