Jordan did not say anything and merely stared atwith a pair of dark eyes. | felt a tingling in my scalp.
Why did he keep staring at me?
To ease the awkwardness, | cleared my throat. "Have you had breakfast, Mr. Fredericks?"
| nearly forgot that my main job now was to be in charge of this guy's three main meals.
| did not prepare breakfast for him this morning, so he most probably had not eaten yet.
Jordan did not reply to my question and seemed too lazy to entertainas he lowered his head. He began to
handle the documents in front of him.
After mulling it over, | finally went downstairs to buy breakfast.

The meeting had already started. After going in, the person who was making the report stopped talking and
everyone turned to look at me.
| stood on the spot, feeling tremendously
embarrassed. After calming down, | quickly said, "I'm sorry for the interruption and for being late."
Jordan looked deeply atbefore signaling the person on stage to continue.
After a long morning, the meeting finally ended. Before | could leave the conference room, Jordan called out to
me.
| stopped in my tracks and looked back at him, smiling a little unnaturally. "Mr. Fredericks."
"You didn't know we had a meeting today?" he asked, sounding a little stern.
| nodded, then shook my head. | wanted to cry but had no tears. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Fredericks. | promise this
won't happen again."
He pursed his lips, his tone sounding a little heavier." You've worked in Zimmer Corporations and Grant
Corporation before. That shows that you're capable, which was why | allowed you to join the company without
going through the HR department. However, that doesn't give you the right to ignore the company's rules and
regulations. | hope you can take your job seriously."
| nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Mr. Fredericks. I'll reflect on my behavior."
Jordan did not say anything else and walked aroundto leave the conference room.
I sighed, still feeling a little uneasy.
Cally saw how dejected | was and walked over to console me. "Mr. Fredericks takes his job very seriously. You just
need a few days to get used to it."
| was a little surprised that Cally would consoleso gently. She would normally put on a stern look on her face.
She had only spoken toabout work matters.
| felt much better after hearing her words and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Cally sighed. "This is something everyone goes through. If a woman refuses to be a housewife who only relies on
men, then she must climb higher in the workplace to get her own attainments."

I nodded. "I'll work hard."
Cally planned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and looked back at me. She said, "Here's a little
tip for you. Mr. Fredericks has a sweet tooth, but he only takes sweet treats in moderation. You can carry some
candies around with you to reduce the chances of getting scolded."
| was a little surprised. "He likes sweet stuff?"
Cally nodded. "I was surprised when | learned about it too, but that's really adorable, don't you think?"
| laughed. "Indeed."
Very few men had a sweet tooth. Take Theo, for example. He was basically insensitive to all things sweet. Hence,
when coming across a man like Jordan who liked to eat sweets, it did seem a little adorable.
Cally continued, "Mr. Fredericks has gastric problems and they'll often act up if he skips his meal.
Remember to prepare sgastric medicine with you."
She went back to work after saying that.
| stood rooted on the spot and reflected on myself. | was indeed not treating work seriously enough right now.
When | was done reflecting, | returned to my office. After picking up the documents | had gone through, | went to «
look for Jordan.
