Nigel started the car and drove off. Queenie’s calves were still sore, so she bent down and started
massaging them again. Then, she started kneading her shoulders as well. It was clear that she was
tired from the day’s work.
Nigel glanced at her once more. It was already pretty commendable for a pampered young lady like her
to stand in the lobby all day.
“Have you worked as an assistant before?”
“I’ve worked as my father’s assistant during summer vacation.”
“In that case, from tomorrow onward, you’ll be my personal assistant.” He gave her a promotion; she
had jumped from working at the front desk to becoming his personal assistant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQueenie was stunned by the news at first, but she quickly recovered and exclaimed with glee, “Really?
I’m going to be your assistant?!”
“You’ll be on probation for one month. I’ll fire you if I’m not satisfied with your work,” Nigel added coolly.
He didn’t want to let this get to her head.
“Sure, I’ll do my best.” She wasn’t about to waste this opportunity. Furthermore, being his assistant
meant that she would get to see Julian every so often, which was an additional bonus!
“Mr. Manson, could you do me a favor? I’d like to have a signed photo of Julian Gilmore. I’ll give you
the photo, so can you get him to sign it for me?” she asked expectantly.
Nigel side-eyed her and shot back, “Why should I help you?”
“Well… Since we’re acquainted now, couldn’t you just do me this one favor? You and Mr. Gilmore have
a close relationship, so… so I’m sure you can help me, right?” Queenie clapped her hands together
and pleaded. She was willing to act a little shamelessly for the sake of owning a signed photo of Julian.
Julian was one of the most famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. Numerous young women
from wealthy families had fallen head over heels for him, and Queenie couldn’t escape from it either,
though she merely admired his talent and was drawn in by his incredible acting.
“Not doing it,” Nigel declined icily. Queenie pouted at him for a moment before a mischievous glint
flickered across her eyes. “Mr. Manson, aren’t you worried I’ll expose your relationship with Mr. Gilmore
if you don’t do as I wish?”
Oh, now she’s threatening me? Just what sort of drama has she been watching? With her here, there’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnever a day that goes by without anything happening. Just what does she think is going on with Julian
and me? “What are you gonna expose to the public?” Nigel wondered what was going on in her head.
Queenie smiled. I’ve finally cracked the code. Mr. Gilmore has never dated any actresses he’s worked
with before, and I finally know why. She stared at Nigel. “Because he likes you!”
Nigel almost crashed into the car in front of them, but fortunately, he had a quick reflex and slammed
down on the brake right away. Though, it still gave Queenie a scare.
Why is he overreacting? Did I hit the bull’s eye? Is that why he’s panicking? “Careful, Mr. Manson. I’ll
keep that a secret. Nobody’s gonna know.” She regretted bringing that topic up when he was driving.
She almost
caused a car crash because of that. Right then, Nigel pulled over to the side of the road, which was
empty of cars.
