Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 69: Old Stories, Old Acquaintances

Jackson took off his sunglasses and mask and nodded at Jennifer to greet her. Before he could speak,

Jennifer's face had begun to sour.

Did Jackson become more crafty in the past ten years?

It was as if a switch had been turned off in her mind. All of a sudden, she swallowed all her complaints.

Jennifer looked at his face and felt as if she had been fooled.

"Jennifer, are you surprised? Are you shocked? Jackson came to bring me out for lunch today. I said

that I had a date with you in the canteen, so I can't leave you alone. Jackson agreed right away. I'm a

great friend right? I waited for you!"

Rose's voice exploded in her ears, and she didn't notice anything unusual about Jennifer in her elation.

Jennifer put down her bag, and her tone was a little stiff.

"I have delivered your bag. We only have a one-hour lunch break, Rose, don't forget the time."

"Hey, Jennifer..." Rose quickly grabbed her arm. "Jennifer, what are you doing? Jackson... Jackson

invited us to lunch. I just called HR to ask for two hours leave, you..."

"Leave?" Jennifer's face gloomed. She shook off Rose's arm and raised her voice. "What leave? Who

asked you to apply for leave for me?"

Rose froze, she only just realized that Jennifer was not happy.

"Jennifer, what's the matter with you..."

Jennifer took a deep breath, but when she saw Rose's blank and innocent face, she couldn't vent her

anger and had to suppress it. "It's nothing. It's just that some people have bad intentions. Rose, you

are too naive, you will get cheated easily.

"Being cheated about what?"

Rose's face was full of confusion.

In the driver's seat, Jackson's face froze, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Jennifer opened the door and went back without looking back.

The car door opened behind her.

"Last time, my fans misunderstood us and attacked you. I haven't apologized to you yet. Let me buy

you lunch as my apology. I hope you don't get any wrong idea..."

Jackson ignored the risk of being recognized and got out of the car. He held the car door with a guilty

face.

Jennifer didn't look back. Her voice was cold and calm.

"Apologize? You've been using my best friend for so long. We both know why you are inviting me to

lunch. I am also in the entertainment industry. If you want publicity and exposure, I'm sorry but I can't

help you. Please send my friend back safely after lunch. Thank you."

She stepped on her 10-centimetre high heels, dressed in a decent and elegant dress, and disappeared

into the narrow alley.

When Jennifer got out of the car, Rose had already opened the car door and was ready to run after her,

but she was not as fast as Jackson. With the car between them, Rose listened to their conversation

and she was confused. She held the car door and looked at the loneliness on Jackson's face, and she

suddenly understood something.

"Jackson and Jennifer have known each other before this?" Rose thought.

Jennifer walked in the alley with a calm face, she could hear hurried footsteps approaching her.

"Jennifer... Jennifer..."

"I said I'm not going..." Jennifer turned her head impatiently, only to see Rose running with sweat and

guilt on her face.

"I'm not here to persuade you. Jack... Jackson has left. It's my fault. Are you... are you still angry?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Rose lowered her head like a school kid who did something wrong.

Jennifer frowned. Looking at Rose in this state, she could not be mad at her no matter how angry she

was.

"Forget it, just never do it again."

As soon as she finished her words, Rose wrapped her arm around hers. The speed at which Rose

change her expression made her speechless.

"Then can you tell me when did you and Jackson meet?"

Jennifer's face darkened and she pushed her hands away in disgust.

"No."

"Hey, tell me please, just tell me! Look, I've given up the good opportunity to have lunch with my idol for

you. Consider this my sacrifice to you..."

"What kind of sacrifice is this? You made me walk all this way for nothing, I haven't eaten anything yet."

"How about if I buy you lunch?"

"Nevermind, I'm not in the mood now."

"Because of Jackson?"

"You are too stupid, you can be easily fooled..."

"It's not a bad thing to be deceived by a handsome guy. Besides, I don't have anything. What can

Jackson get from me?"

They were at the entrance of the company building, Jennifer stopped and rolled her eyes.

"Rose..."

Seeing her angry look, Rose hurriedly raised her hands as if she was surrendering.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I got it. He might have deceived me but you didn't lose anything right?"

Seeing Rose apologised but have no remorse, Jennifer had no choice but to raise her hand and point

her index finger at Rose. Her tone was very serious.

"Let me tell you again you seriously. Once you enter this door, don't mention anything about Jackson in

front of me, and don't tell anyone about me and Jackson. I will thank you in advance."

Rose was slightly stunned. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Oh."

Jennifer turned around on her high heels and walked toward the company.

Behind her, Rose shouted in sudden realization.

"Hey, tell me what happened between the two of you before you go in!"

Joy Group's signature logo covered more than half of the company building. It was glistening under the

winter sun at noon. On the quiet road at the back of the company, the royal blue sports car was very

conspicuous.

Jackson held the car door and glanced around coldly. Then he took a deep breath, walked quickly to a

corner of the alley, and rudely pulled out a man squatting inside.

"Give me the camera..."

The man was in his early twenties. After being discovered by Jackson, he didn't look nervous. He

hesitated for a moment and said, "Jackson, I didn't take any pictures, there's nothing to see. I won't

post it online."

His assured tone made Jackson frown and he asked warily,

"Who sent you here?"

"Bastain, didn't you agree on it? Last time, when your fan was being attacked, we settled it too hastily.

Bastain asked me to take some more photos so you can get even more exposure."

"Give me the camera."

"Ayy, no..."

"Give it to me..."

In the hotel.

As soon as Jackson came back, he kicked out all the assistants in the room, leaving only his agent.

"You are back early. Are you satisfied with the restaurant?"

Bastain spent a lot of effort picking out a restaurant for Jackson personally so that he could invite his

fans.

"Bastain, you'd better explain what is this."

Jackson unceremoniously threw the black camera on the table, making a loud thud.

"Hey, be gentle... This... this is very expensive."

"I asked you to explain yourself. What is this?"

Jackson's face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to rain.

"It's just... a camera." Bastain didn't feel guilty at all, he looked calm.

"Who asked you to send someone to follow me and take photos? Do you think we are not in enough

trouble?"
