Chapter 844 Gradually Grew Closer


    At that moment, Whitney waspletely engrossed in her work, oblivious to the changes in his facial


    expression.


    After an hour, Whitney finally finished categorizing all the files, a thinyer of sweat covering her body.


    “Mr. Newton, I have everything organized.”


    Looking at the neatly stacked piles of documents on the floor, Charles couldn’t help but chuckle to


    himself. With his hand covering his mouth, he said. “You may leave now.”


    What? Seriously? He’s telling me to leave just like that? He’s not even checking? Shock and a hint of


    helplessness filled Whitney’s gaze. So, there was no need to rush this matter after all?


    She stole a nce at Charles, who was barely containing hisughter, and suddenly realized she had


    been pranked! He’s doing it on purpose! He must enjoy seeing me struggle!


    Even though she was aware of that, Whitney didn’t dare to resist. After all, she was just a powerless


    and penniless assistant. All she could do was lower her head and walk out of the office.


    She had barely taken a moment to rest that afternoon. As soon as she returned to her workstation, she


    slumped down in exhaustion.


    As the days passed, Whitney became more ustomed to managing everything in the CEO’s office.


    Enduring his teasing and banter from time to time, Whitney began to feel a sense of anticipation in her


    daily life.


    As she spent more time with him, the fear she once felt began to fade. She even found the courage to


    resist him from time to time.


    She suddenly found herself really enjoying her current job, and she also liked the way they were getting


    along.


    “Mr. Newton, I’ve prepared a cup of cappino for you. Please taste it and see if it suits your pte.”


    cing the coffee on his desk, Whitney swiftly exited the room, a triumphant smirk ying on her lips..


    “Whitney Mellor!” The moment the office door closed, Charles’ furious voice could be heard from inside.


    She actually dared to put salt in the cappino! She’s really got some nerve!


    Whitney stuck out her tongue. “He only has himself to me for always pranking me? Surely, it’s okay


    for me to do it once in a while, right?”


    Although Charles was angry, he vaguely felt that was what life should be, and his days had be


    enjoyable.


    At the very least, when Whitney saw him now, she no longer reacted like a mouse spotting a cat,


    constantly fearing him.


    Gradually, unbeknownst to the couple, the way the two interacted with each other changed.


    Whitney no longer saw Charles as an emotionless work machine but could feel that he was an actual


    human being.


    She could also sense the change in Charles’ attitude toward her.


    Whitney also began to be more bold.


    The sky gradually dimmed.


    After finishing his work, Charles stopped in front of Whitney. “Let’s go home.”


    “Um… You go ahead. I still have some work to finish. I’ll take the subway hometer. It won’t be too


    late.” Charles slightly furrowed his brows, clearly quite displeased.


    Seeing the look on his face, Whitney tactfully began to pack up her things, ready to leave with him. “I’m


    done. I’ll go with you.”


    Only then did Charles nod in satisfaction and strode out of the office.


    Whitney followed closely behind him, clutching her bag tightly, wishing she could shrink into herself and


    be as invisible as air.


    However, this time, Charles parked his luxury car right at thepany’s entrance, not in the


    underground parking lot. She had no choice but to brace herself and get into that shy luxury car. I’m


    done for. I wonder what kind of outrageous rumors are going to circte again tomorrow.


    Watching them leave together, everyone in thepany was extremely shocked.


    “Look quickly, isn’t that Whitney? Could it be that she’s living with the CEO? Oh my! I’m so envious!”


    “How could this be possible? Is she even worthy of the CEO? I bet she seduced him. She won’tst


    long in that position.”


    “Goodness, who knows? Let’s just go with the flow. Whitney has been riding in the boss’ car every day


    recently. I’ve gotten used to it. We should focus on doing our own jobs well.”


    Recently, the matter between Whitney and Charles sparked a wave of heated discussion.


    After all, it was about the CEO. Now that Whitney was working at the top level, right next to the CEO,


    those people didn’t dare to be too tant.


    After all, no one dared to push their luck.


    Moreover, Charles had issued a newpany rule. Anyone who dared to spread baseless rumors


    would be sent directly to the HR department to collect their final paycheck and leave.


    Everyone had seen how he dealt with Lana, and no one dared to be the next Lana.


    At the Newton residence, it was dinner time..


    Jasmine announced a new decision, “I n to go abroad for a while to further my studies in my field. I


    can’t afford to hold my brothers back.”


    As soon as these words were spoken, Lucas doused her excitement. “Are you going abroad for further


    studies or to have fun? Jasmine, do you think your brothers are easy to fool?”


    “Oh dear, Lucas! If you keep this up. I’llin that you’re bullying me. I’m really trying to further my


    studies.” youngest in the family, Jasmine had Lucas wrapped around her little finger.


    The moment she mentioned tattling, Lucas immediately surrendered. All right. Fine. Do whatever you


    want. I can’t control you.”


    “I can’t believe you still have time to do that. Shouldn’t you hurry up and find me a sister-inw,”


    The two of them regrly bickered at the table.


    Whitneyughed, feeling that was how life should be.

    As the days went by, the two of them often went in and out of thepany together. Gradually, the


    people in thepany got used to theming and leaving work together.


    If one day they suddenly weren’t together, that would be a real shocker.


    Atst, Whitney no longer had to face the strange looks at work.


    Now, she had surprisingly be thepany’s rising star.


    When her lunch break ended that day, Whitney was preparing to make a cup of coffee to rejuvenate


    herself. From afar, she saw someone walking toward her. All right. This must be someone else looking


    for my help


    Before Whitney could even leave with her coffee, the man stopped her with a smile, saying, “Ms.


    Mellor, d-do you have some time right now?”


    Whitney looked him up and down, asking, “Is there something you need? I’m about to go see Mr.


    Newton.”


    “Well… I’ll just cut to the chase. Now that you’re working alongside Mr. Newton, could you possibly put


    in a good word for me? If you agree, I’ll do whatever you want as long as it’s within my capabilities.”


    Uh. I really did guess it right.


    After she finished speaking, Whitney took her coffee and left. If I set this precedent today, who knows


    who mighte knocking tomorrow? Moreover, if Charles were to find out about this, our recently


    improved rtionship might just plummet back to freezing point. I won’t bother doing such thankless


    tasks, let alone take risks.


    She really enjoyed her life now. As an assistant, she could walk side by side with him in front of


    everyone, no longer needing to hide or worry about people criticizing her rtionship with Charles.


    When it was time to finish work, Whitney was already waiting for him at the door, having finished her


    tasks early. She was ustomed to sitting in the passenger seat of Charles’ car and going home with


    him.


    When the office door swung open, Whitney immediately greeted him with a radiant smile, saying,


    “Congrattions on finishing work, Mr. Newton.”


    A yful expression danced on her face, instantly soothing his work-induced irritability.


    Charles rarely let a smile grace his lips. He nodded, “All right. Let’s до home.”
