Chapter 20 She Was Set up

“Personal secretary means you need to be arrive to see Louis anytime he calls you. It is a job that I offer you to help him. But actually you are monitoring him for me. You need to tell me everything he does, especially which girl he is dating. Clear?”

Jessica was back to herself when she heard what Benjamin said.

Though she didn’t know too much about Louis, she already knew he was so mean.

It was so hard for her to be his personal secretary.

Then she smiled and said, “I am afraid that I am not that competent…”

“Don’t underestimate yourself so early.”

Obviously, Benjamin didn’t agree with her, “I have my own reason to choose you. First, you are the woman that Louis would pay attention to.”

She was the one he hated, actually.

Jessica was shocked and she smiled at him bitterly.

“Secondly, you don’t need to worry that Louis would do something bad to you since you are the one that was kicked out of bed by him. He is a clean freak. So, he wouldn’t get interested in you.”

The smiling on her face froze and she didn’t know whether she should laugh and cry about that.

“Last but not least…”

Benjamin paused for a while and he eyed on Jessica with his wise eyes. Then he chimed, “I believe that Miss Wilson is smart enough that you won’t have any fantasy towards Louis like the other girls.”

That might be the important point of Benjamin.

Though Jessica was a bit upset, she still forced herself to smile politely.

She nodded and said, “Sure. Veterans are abler than recruits. Everything seems to be under control you, Mr. Carter.”

Benjamin smiled haughtily and he never hid his wisdom.

“Besides, you don’t need to worry about your salary. I will of course fill your requirements. As for the right for the Heyday to bid, I am sure that it will be alright. But I won’t help Heyday to get the project, since Louis is so prudent.”

There was no denying the face that the offer sounded so good to Jessica.

If she got the job, it would mean that she would get rid of Heyday officially.

And with the title of the personal secretary of Louis Carter, Phillip Smith could do nothing but to flatter her.

He wouldn’t threaten her any longer.

So she would make sure that her dad would be safe in the jail and her mom didn’t need to worry about him.

Benjamin looked at Jessica so confidently and it seemed that he knew Jessica would definitely said yes.

Jessica couldn’t help asking him, “but what should I do if Louis Carter doesn’t cooperate?”

She could imagine that how the man would treat her.

“All I can do is to make you stay by him, and all the others would depend on you.”

She shook her head and thought that he was so foxy.

He just dug a hole and asked her to jump inside. That was a huge trap.

However, Jessica didn’t have any choice.

All she could do was just to accept that.

She signed but she still kept asking him questions. “And I want to know how long should I work as his personal secretary?”

Benjamin was surprised when he heard about that.

And he directed a meaningful look at Jessica.

Then he answered, “Until you finished your mission.”

Benjamin didn’t give her a clear and certain answer.

Then he stood up and was about to leave.

Jessica was confused and chimed, “I can’t do it my whole life! If he get married someday, it will be so embarrassing since he has his wife…”

“He didn’t get married.”

Benjamin cut in hurriedly.

And he turned back and he felt that she was stubborn and cared about that.

Benjamin shook his head and said, “you don’t need to be worried, Miss Wilson. Remember, you just need to be patient and the one who has got enough endurance would be the winner and you would be free.”

That was still ambiguous.

Benjamin walked out of the box with a red sandalwood crutch when he finished his words.

Jessica was gazing at his back blankly for a while.

What did he mean by saying “the one who has got enough endurance would be the winner and you would be free”?

Three days later.

The Carters were so efficient.

Jessica dressed in a black occupational suit, though she looked a bit conservative in that look, her curvy body shape was perfectly showed.

She looked so decent with her hair tied up and placed at her back wearing a light make-up.

Jessica also wore a pair of black glasses as Benjamin told her to do.

It was said that Benjamin Carter was so satisfied with her look, conservative but or outdated.

Standing under the building of the Carters group, Jessica looked up at the skyscraper which was more than 100 stories high.

She sweated slightly carrying a black briefcase in hands.

She felt that she was about to join in a war.

Once she stepped inside the building, she would be dead anytime.

That was so miserable…

“Miss Wilson, we can get in now.”

Billy Murphy said to her and then Jessica was back to herself.

Billy Murphy was the special assistant of Benjamin Carter, and he was like Benjamin’s trusted subordinate. Every member of the Carters would have a few of trusted and loyal subordinates.

Of course, except Matthew, because he only got Bella.

Billy could feel that Jessica was very nervous and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Wilson. Louis is a well- educated man.”

What Billy really meant was that Louis was the man who always be that composed and calmed.

And he would never shout at anyone.

Therefore, Jessica didn’t need to fear of him.

She smiled bitterly.

But Louis was the man who would torture someone not in a direct way, and he would never figure out why he was suffering from that.

Jessica nodded her head and took a deep breath. Then she straightened her back and followed Billy and walked into the building…

The rumors already spread all over the company, and everyone was gossiping about her.

And they all understood when Benjamin Carter gave an order that there would be a secretary who would work for Louis.

The war between the father and son was about to begin.

They had already felt the smoky battlefield.

All the staffs in the Carters Group felt so sorry for that secretary.

And they knew that no matter who won the battle at last, she would be the one who needed to sacrifice. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Then she would be remembered as the best and most glorious staff of the Carters.

The top floor of the building was filled with tense atmosphere.

The elevator stopped and the door opened slowly.

Billy was so gentleman and he made a gesture to asked Jessica to get out of the elevator first.

“Thanks.”

Jessica nodded her head and clenched her fingers so tightly.

She stepped forward in her high heels though she was so nervous.

Jessica suddenly trembled when she heard some noise, and she froze at the door of the elevator.
