Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 696 - 362: Extra Story: The Good Old Days

Just so you know, their boss has never revoked a decision that’s already been made.

Skyler Jones raised an eyebrow and glared at Christine Quinn, "Do you think people who make mistakes don’t need to be punished?"

"I just think there might be a better way to discipline them." Christine Quinn smiled gently, unfazed by Skyler Jones’s harsh and gloomy demeanor.

There was a long silence in the meeting room, and everyone was sweating bullets for Christine Quinn. After a while, Skyler Jones finally spoke, "Manager Wilson, are you confident you can handle the U.S. project well?"

Paul Wilson was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and nodding urgently, "I can, I will definitely close the deal, please give me a chance to redeem myself, Mr. President."

Paul Wilson was overjoyed, a happy smile on his face, knowing that the President had decided to let him stay.

Everyone was in disbelief, never expecting anyone to change Skyler Jones’s decision, especially a newbie like her.

"Then do it well. If the project doesn’t go through, you’ll leave just the same." Skyler Jones fastened his suit button and stood up, his face grim, "Today’s meeting ends here, Secretary Quinn, come to my office."

"Yes." Christine Quinn quickly gathered her materials, keeping her head low as she followed behind Skyler Jones.

At this moment, everyone started to worry about Christine Quinn.

Hearing Skyler Jones’s tone just now, like he was suppressing a fire, he wouldn’t swallow this little girl whole, right?

"Very good, on your first day at work, you’ve already learned how to defy your superior!" Skyler Jones’s face was grim, his voice stern and cold enough without having to raise it.

Christine Quinn fearlessly replied, "I didn’t mean to defy the President, I was just doing my utmost, considering the company’s interests."

Amazed by her calm wisdom in the face of peril, Skyler Jones’s expression still was one of annoyance.

"Do you think you’re very smart?" Skyler Jones raised his gloomy eyes and stared directly at her, "Who told you that I need to compromise the principles I’ve established in this company for a three-billion-dollar deal?"

Christine Quinn smiled slightly and softly replied, "Your eyes told me. When Manager Wilson mentioned his wife having a baby, there was reluctance in your eyes because you also know he only had a child after forty."

Christine Quinn was trying to give Skyler Jones a graceful exit, and she found one for him.

"Stop thinking you’re so clever." Skyler Jones still wore a stern face.

"Yes." Christine Quinn pursed her lips, silently smiling inside.

As she expected, beneath his cold exterior, he still had a gentle side.

"Leave now, in consideration of your first day at work, I won’t hold this against you... but don’t forget what I said, talk less, do more, and don’t be too smart for your own good." Skyler Jones waved her off and picked up a pack of cigarettes from the desk, taking one out and lighting it with a tilt of his head.

Christine Quinn stifled a laugh, "Yes."

When Christine Quinn reached the door and turned to close it, she unexpectedly saw Skyler Jones standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, silently smoking a cigarette, looking out.

His silhouette appeared so desolate that it made her feel puzzled.

She gently shut the door, as if hearing a silent ripple from the depths of her heart...

The position of Secretary to the President of "Oversky" Group is indeed not one for an ordinary person.

The workload is astounding, and you need to deal with an eccentric, emotionally distant boss.

However, the amount of effort Skyler Jones puts into his work is astounding. He almost doesn’t need to sleep, doesn’t need to rest, working like a robot every day. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She doesn’t understand why he works so hard. She thinks his achievements are already extraordinary. At twenty-six, so young and already successful in his career, why work himself so hard? Isn’t now the time to spend more time on getting married and starting a family?

It results in her, as his secretary, being unable to relax because the boss is so busy, naturally making her the last to leave the office every day.

However, today she intentionally left work early to have a sumptuous dinner with a friend she hadn’t met in a long time—

"Christine Quinn, you’re really heartless! Ever since you became the Secretary to the President at ’Oversky,’ it’s been so hard for me to have a meal with you." Her friend Hilda complained while enjoying a seafood feast.

"You’re the heartless one!" Christine Quinn laughed, giving her friend a playful glare, "I’ve already kept my promise to treat you to a big meal, what else are you not satisfied with? Besides, I’m really busy, I’ve just joined the company, there are so many things to learn, I definitely can’t slack off."
