If she had not been a background actor in her previous life and experienced a lot of times in pain, she would not have been this calin today.

The little sprain was not even worth mentioning if the were in her past Ulife, as she would just need to rub it to ease the pain.

On the other hand, Madeline did not expect that Steven, the Grim Itraper, could be quite homunë.

He even called a dorror for her.

They thought that Steven never bothered to show any kindness to a stranger, as kindness was an extremely scarce thing in the man’s eyes,

Madeline returned to the office.

The spacious office was huxuriously decorated, with the CEO’s private lounge within the room.

Madeline did not dare to enter the lounge and tely the area.

In the office, her seat was only located in a small comer

It was not eye–catching, but Madeline could be available on call at any time.

Madeline said. “Thank you”

Brandon fell embarrassed instead. “It’s okay. We’ll be colleagues in the future to serve Mr. Wagner ingether. Today was my fault, so please don’t take

it to heart.

“No, no. It was mine.” Madeline waved her hand.

“Haha, you’re very kind to say y that,” Brandon said and got ready to leave “Well then, I’ll go to the conference room downstairs. There will be a meeting soon.

Queenie came in with a glass o

Madeline replied, “The fine. I just twisted my ankle accidentally, but it doesn’t hurt much anymore

Queenie noticed a noticeable deep purple bruse on Madeline’s ankle at first glance, “Oh, my: Why did your ankle become like this? It must hurt Madeline, don’t endure it on your own Doctor, please take a look at her injury quickly.”

It was a busy time at work at this moment. If it were for other people, they would not care about such a minor injury at all

The doctor was a little surprised. He thought someone had a serious injury and hurried over, but it turned out it was just a small wound instead.

He could not help but be curious about the identity of this secretary Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“It’s not a big deal” After rubbing the pain relief cream on the bruised ankle, the doctor reminded Madeline. “Take it easy for the next couple of days, avoid excessive movement, and stick to your medication schedule.”

Madeline nodded but thought that her work required her to nin errands everywhere, so it was difficult not to walk around.

Queenie waited for the doctor to leave before she said, “Mr. Wagner may come to work here after today’s meeting. Just tell me what you need so you don’t have to move around”

She continued, “You must be feeling pain from your injury. Take a good rest. We will be colleagues from now on, so don’t be too considerate to me. Madeline wanted to say something but hesitated

When alone in the office, she pursed her lips and asked herself in her

er mind. “Is everyone in Vanguard Corporation this humane? I’m a newcomer. but I can slack off directly on my first day of work?*

Moreover, the people here actually addressed her as their colleague.

Madeline wondered if this was what a workplace really looked like.

It was completely different from the atmosphere of a filming set.

Madeline had vaguely heard before that Vanguard Corporation seemed to be a company with strict regulations in the industry

At that time, Winslet had only sent a documem late but almost got fred

It took d

the Larson family a long time to solve the issue.

Therefore, Madeline always ranembered that Vanguard Corporation was not an easy working place.

She ramally toyed with the pain relief cream and thought, “After all I’m just starting my jub right now, not an einployer i year. Maylic the regulations will become strat a few years later‘ Forget it. It doesn’t matter to me. But about Steven..”

She did not know what she did to deserve this

Madeline then stopped overthinking

The meeting lasted until half past eleven in the morning.

Madeline tumed on her computer and watched the TV drama being shot recently.

If there was a chance, she would want to re–enter the entertainment industry.

There were some noises coming from the outside.

She looked out and noticed many people coming upstairs from the conference room.

She quickly turned off the drama and sorted out her desk.

To be honest, she had never acted as an assistant before when she was an actress,

She thought it would be the same as being her personal assistant..

That was something she could still understand.

Among the crowd, the man was the most eye–catching person, even from far away.

The tall and cold–looking man walked over from the

crowd.

Madeline stood up nervously and kept her guard up. She crossed her hands like an assistant waiting for orders at will.

The door opened.

Brandon was amused to see Madeline standing straight like a pillar.

Steven did not fix his gaze on her and sat down on the chair inside the room. He said in a cold tone, “Get out.”

Yes. Mr. Wagner,” Madeline replied and turned to leave.

Wait Hold on. I’m the one who should be getting out.” B Brandon hurriedly pulled the door first and smiled at Madeline, leaving after a moment.

The office door was closed.

Madeline turned around and glanced at Steven

She felt conflicted.

Steven did

not even raise his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Don’t you know how to serve others?”
