Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 45: Loving Deeply Will Not Live Longer, Too Smart Will Get You Hurt.

When Jennifer entered the door and changed her shoes at the entryway, she finally realized what was

wrong.

Usually, the servants would be all over the house doing their jobs, they would be in the kitchen, living This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

room, and laundry room busy doing something. But today, the whole house was very quiet and empty.

She froze at the entryway with one foot in the soft pink slippers and another foot was still in her flats.

"Where is everyone else?" She thought.

As she was wondering, she suddenly heard someone entering the password at the door.

With a click, the door cracked open. A short-haired woman struggled to push her way in through the

door with a suitcase. She was wearing a faded pink tracksuit. She had just stuck her head through the

door when she saw Jennifer, her face suddenly stiffened.

"Miss Jennifer... you... are back."

Jennifer looked at the woman who came in with a strange look.

"Nancy? What happened? Where have you been? Where's everyone else?"

Nancy was the servant who helped Jennifer to run a bath last night. In the house, she and Daisy were

the youngest, just in their early twenties. The other servants were older.

Nancy was standing at the door with two huge black suitcases in her hands. She was afraid of dirtying

the carpet on the entryway so she didn't dare to put them down. She looked at Jennifer with sweat all

over her face. Thinking of what happened last night, her face was pale.

"It's a long story. Miss Jennifer, how about you change your shoes and sit down, then I will tell you?"

On the sofa in the living room.

Nancy made a cup of tea and handed it to Jennifer. Her hands were a little cold so she just took it to

warm them up.

"What's going on? Where are the other servants?"

"They were all fired." Nancy was frightened and stood on the side rubbing her hands.

"You can sit down and talk." Jennifer frowned.

Nancy panicked and quickly waved her hand.

"No, there's no need. I like standing."

Jennifer didn't insist anymore. She just felt that Nancy was acting very strange today, as if she was a

little afraid of her. She spoke carefully as if she was afraid of overstepping.

"Why were they fired? Who fired them?"

Nancy hesitated and said, "It's Mr. Hans. Last night, after you almost drowned in the bathroom, I sent

you to the hospital. Mr. Hans came in the middle of the night. He asked me to go back and tell the other

servants they were dismissed. This morning, James paid all of our salaries."

Jennifer frowned, and she didn't understand why Hans dismissed these people.

Nancy, who was standing in front of her, suddenly looked pale and fell to her knees. She knelt too fast

and her knees hit the floor with a loud bang, which made Jennifer jump off the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

"Miss Jennifer, it's my fault. We used to be ignorant, but I really didn't look down on you. I've always

worked very hard. We weren't nice to you before and I didn't dare to stand up for you, I was afraid that I

would be singled out, but I'm just... I just want to do my job. I'm sorry, Miss Jennifer..."

Nancy was crying and sniffling, kneeling in front of Jennifer, and refusing to get up, no matter how hard

Jennifer tried to pull her up.

"You get up first..."

Jennifer really had no strength left in her, she sat down on the floor and shouted with difficulty.

"Are you done? Why are you crying? Tell me everything."

Nancy was so frightened by her roar that she didn't dare to make a sound. She stopped crying, but she

couldn't hold back her sobs. Her shoulders kept twitching as if she was hiccuping.

"I... Er... Er..."

"Forget it, forget it. Have some water first."

Jennifer resignedly stood up while holding the sofa and handed Nancy the cup on the table.

Nancy drank a few mouthfuls of water before stopping her sobs. Then, she started to tell the story in a

choked voice.

"Mr. Hans wanted to fire all of us initially, but in the morning, the older servants refused to leave, so we

asked James to help us. He called Mr. Hans in front of us. We didn't hear what Mr. Hans said, but in the

end, James said that I was the only one who can stay. He said it was Mr. Hans's order, so I understood

everything. Mr. Hans was mad that we didn't take good care of you before. Last night, I was the one

who sent you to the hospital, that's why he kept me here."

Hearing this, there was a strange look on Jennifer's face. She thought about the whole incident from

the beginning, and her lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. If Hans really cared about her so

much, why did he torture her? Was he just looking for trouble?

"So, Miss Jennifer, it was my fault before, please forgive me. I will work harder in the future."

Nancy thought that the servants were fired because they didn't take care of her well enough.

However, Jennifer was not so confident.

All of her confidence was completely wiped out by Hans. She became more rational in this kind of

situation. "What did you say to him last night when he went to the hospital?"

Nancy told her about how Daisy secretly changed the essential oil in the aroma lamp.

The strange look on Jennifer's face gradually disappeared. She chuckled but didn't look happy. "I get it

now."

Looking at Jennifer going upstairs, Nancy couldn't figure out what was going on. She asked hesitantly,

"Miss Jennifer, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it earlier."

"No, you can have a rest. Don't disturb me today. I want to sleep for a while."

She held the railings and her footsteps became slower and slower, as if all her strength had been used

up by going upstairs.

She fell on the snow-white sheet and turned herself over with her hands on the sheet. Looking at the

ceiling, she looked gloomy.

Did Hans fire the servants because some of them stole from him and the others pretended not to know

or because they disrespected her? She knew the answer in her heart. Hans couldn't tolerate any faults.

Even if she didn't drown, he wouldn't have let them stay after knowing they steal.

"I'd better not flatter myself.

"As the saying goes, loving deeply will not live longer, too smart will get you hurt." She thought.

Now that she thought about it, it made sense. When it comes to love, the one who loved harder was

also the one who was hurt the most, so naturally, their life won't be easy. They would be depressed all

the time and it would be a wonder if they could live long.

Luckily, she was not too smart. As Jennifer thought about it, her mind was already in a mess and she

slowly fell asleep.

Her phone that was on the bedside table for the whole night flashed for a second, an unknown number

was calling her. Jennifer was sleeping so soundly that she thought she was dreaming. Her head hurt

because of the noise so she pulled up the blanket and wrapped herself in it with her eyes closed.

At noon, the black SUV was parked at the gate of the villa. Hans got off the car, took off his coat, and

left it in the entryway. He changed into his slippers and went straight into the living room.

Nancy was alone in the kitchen busying. She had just finished cooking lunch and was hesitating if she

should call Jennifer for lunch when she heard a noise in the living room.
