Chapter 40 A New Job

When people were cornered, there would be a stress reaction.

Due to her pent–up frustration, Jazmine determinedly decided to accept Aaron’s offer. And without even discussing it with her friends, she took her business card and showed up in the Tapia Group the next day.

Aaron welcomed her personally. And the moment he saw her, he was stunned by her look, a touch of amazement flashing across his eyes.

Jazmine had dressed herself up for the occasion today.

She was wearing a tight white professional dress, in which her slim body manifested. And outside the suit, there was a coat, which spiced up her look and made her look even more elegant.

Her face, with slight makeup on it, was delicate. And her neck, which was revealed thanks to her tied– up hair, together with her light green coat, suggested the fairness of her skin and her elegance.

Noticing Aaron’s expression, she remained calm.

In fact, all the way here, she kept seeing stunned looks like that. She knew that her appearance was a weapon, and she had used the “weapon” very effectively this time.

“Jazmine, there has been some decrease in the stock prices of the Tapia Group these days thanks to the conflict between you and Giancarlo. Since you are still a member of the Tapia family and Giancarlo’s wife, I am thinking maybe you can help sort out the mess of the group a bit. After all, the Tapia Group is an empire that my parents spent their entire lives building.”

Then Aaron smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry for rambling on about all this.”

Jazmine shook her head and smiled, hinting that she did not mind.

Although Aaron didn’t have as much power in the Tapia Group as Giancarlo did, Aaron was no doubt one of the heads here. That was why Jazmine agreed to work with him.

She wanted to use Aaron to suppress Giancarlo and see if Giancarlo, as he claimed, loved Yoselin enough to

sacrifice his own interests.

And just like that, Jazmine became Aaron’s personal secretary.

She had won her first battle.

In the appointment letter issued by the personnel department of the Tapia Group that day, there were two names that were heatedly discussed by the staff of the Tapia Group.

They were Jazmine and Yoselin.

One was Aaron’s personal secretary, and the other was Giancarlo’s.

But despite both being presidents, Giancarlo was undoubtedly way more powerful than Aaron, with Giancarlo equivalent to a king and Aaron a regent.

The two had created a relatively peaceful environment in the group. As a result, Giancarlo, the executive president, was able to have great power without encountering any resistance. And thanks to that, Giancarlo’s personal secretary, Yoselin, had a much greater say than Aaron’s as well.

And by the time Jazmine got to the secretariat to report for duty, Yoselin was already there.

Everyone was surrounding Yoselin and kept flattering her, which made Yoselin feel elated and at the same time look all high and mighty.

Yoselin was in a professional suit today as well. But in contrast to Jazmine, she had chosen a pink one. And instead of tying up her hair, she made her hair wavy.

Even though Yoselin was Jazmine’s love rival, Jazmine agreed with everyone else about Yoselin’s beauty. It was true that Yoselin was incompetent, but her appearance in the office did please everyone.

Just as Jazmine was thinking, someone spoke.

“Ms. Larsen, we’ve heard that you are the president’s girlfriend. Doesn’t that make you our boss–to– be? I know you’re still not married, but after meeting you today, I don’t think there is anyone who is more suitable

to be that.”

Yoselin was extremely satisfied with the flattery.

Then she turned to look at Jazmine next to her.

Yoselin raised her hand and pointed at Jazmine.

The studs on Yoselin’s manicure–treated nails reflected a shaft of light on Jazmine’s face, which made Jazmine squint a bit. Then Yoselin said in a strange tone, “You’ve said that I am Giancarlo’s private secretary

because I’m his girlfriend.

“Then what about her? As I can remember, Mr. Aaron is still a bachelor.”

Everyone present took the hint since Yoselin actually hinted at it very directly.

Soon, the secretariat was full of laughter.

Obviously, Jazmine had ridden on Aaron’s coattails.

Or put it this way. Yoselin thought Jazmine was riding on Aaron’s coattails.

Faced with the malice in the room and those faces with a sneer, Jazmine snorted coldly and enunciated each word in an imposing manner, “Mr. Giancarlo’s girlfriend? Don’t you know that Mr. Giancarlo is married? Ms. Larsen is just a homewrecker.”

The laughter stopped instantly.

The room was reduced to a suffocating silence. And since it was their workplace, they couldn’t just slip away. As a result, everyone had to stand there awkwardly.

But Yoselin was not angry. Instead, she smiled proudly, “You guys buy what she said? That would be

brainless. I think I might need to report that to Giancarlo a bit.”

All the secretaries became nervous upon hearing that. Then someone made a response and started to curse Jazmine, “Ms. Gardner, be nice. Your jealousy is really disgusting. Do you know that?”

Then more people joined in cursing.

Yoselin thought Jazmine would retort and take out evidence to prove her innocence. But that was not the case. Instead, Jazmine quietly walked to a girl who had been working with her head down and had not participated in the conversation all the while.

Then Jazmine asked, “Hello, I’m Jazmine, the new secretary. May I know where my office is?”

Noticing that Jazmine did not intend to talk with them anymore, Yoselin, who was still eager to make a fool of Jazmine, walked up to Jazmine right away.

“Jazmine, how shameless of you, being with Mr. Aaron, a man much older than you.‘

Yoselin said it as if she saw Jazmine and Aaron were actually together. Jazmine thought, what Yoselin said has not only offended me but also Aaron.

In any case, Aaron is the second in command of the Tapia Group. There is no way he would let her slander

him like this!

Then Jazmine looked at Yoselin, who looked rather smug now, thinking, is she waiting for me to explode with anger, or does she think that her words have hurt me?

Jazmine sneered, “Yoselin, not everyone is as sneaky as you. Even if I want to make friends with him, I would never use him to get a job.”

But Yoselin interpreted Jazmine’s words as an acknowledgment of a relationship.

She covered her mouth and stared at Jazmine with a disgusted expression while shouting in an exaggerated Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

manner.

“It can’t be. You’ve just admitted that you have a relationship with Mr. Aaron. You are so disgusting. It must be a one–sided relationship. Mr. Aaron would never want you.”

Jazmine clenched her fists and regretted ever talking with Yoselin.

The girl next to Jazmine did not dare to speak. Therefore, Jazmine turned around and left, planning to find her office by herself.

Suddenly, she saw Giancarlo standing at the door, whose face was gloomy as hell. The secretariat, where tension was building, was reduced to an embarrassed silence, with no one daring to say anything more.
