Chapter 15 Do You Know Him Very Well?


    "Yvonne, how long do you still need to work on these documents? It’s past twelve already! Shall we


    go downstairs for lunch first?"


    "No, I can''t.” Yvonne raised her head as she rubbed her sore arms and looked at Lte over the


    piles of documents on her desk. "I still have these many documents to look through, Lyn. If I can''t


    finish them today, I''ll definitely have to work overtime tonight until god knows what time.”


    If she was going to work overtime until the wee hours of the night, she probably wouldn''t be able to


    catch a cab home and might end up sleeping in the office.


    "Why do you have so many documents to go through?" Lte frowned. "Do you need to get them


    done within today? My god! Who can possibly finish this? Why is Mr. Lancaster being this ruthless?”


    "I can''t help it either..." she sighed. "I told you from the beginning that Mr. Lancaster isn''t easy to get


    along with. He’s also very strict in doing things and can''t tolerate any ws. To him, handling all the


    tasks perfectly is a responsibility that all employees must fulfill. He doesn’t even care if you''re


    exhausted or not."


    Yvonne spoke very softly, afraid that the people in the CEO''s office would hear it.


    "Really?!” Lte widened her eyes. "Luckily I wasn''t picked back then. Otherwise, I would


    definitely die from exhaustion!”


    After saying that, she cast a careful nce at the CEO''s office before whispering, "Yvonne, it''s only


    been a few days since you were appointed as his secretary. Why do you sound like you know Mr.


    Lancaster very well?"


    Yvonne was at a loss for words. Just when she was trying to find an excuse to gloss over things,


    she heard movements outside the door.


    She immediately followed the noise with her gaze and only saw Shaneing out of the CEO''s


    office, calling someone on his phone. He looked at her with great interest and Yvonne wondered if


    he''d overheard their conversation.


    Upon seeing the situation, Lte quickly slid out of her office for fear of getting into trouble again.


    Shane watched her leave in confusion, then went into Yvonne’s office. "Sis-inw, do I look that


    scary? Why did your friend leave as soon as she saw me?"


    "No? You must have made a mistake!" Yvonne couldn''t help feeling guilty after gossiping about


    Henry earlier and subconsciously tried to exin herself. "Maybe m y friend is shy because Mr.


    Summers is too handsome, so she ran away."


    "Really?" The smile on Shane''s face broadened.


    Coming from a wealthy family, Shane had received a lot of tteries over the years. Yet no one was


    as direct as Yvonne, so that caught him a little off guard.


    Yvonne noticed the unusual expression on his face, then instantly realized that she had said


    something wrong and flew into a panic. "W-Wait, no, I was only talking nonsense! Please don''t take


    it to heart, Mr. Summers!”


    Tortured by the pile of documents on her desk all morning and secretly saying a few bad things


    about Henry to her good friend, she only found a random excuse to gloss over things for fear that


    Shane would find out about their conversation.


    She didn''t expect to make things even worse!


    Yvonne and Shane had only met a few times. She was indeed speaking too rashly to someone who


    was pretty much a stranger to her.


    "It''s okay. I knew sis-inw was joking with me.” Shane smiled at her. "You don''t need to be a


    stranger around me. I’ve known Henry for a very long time.


    Since you''re his wife, you''re pretty much my sister-inw.”


    "Ms that so...?”


    She breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes dimmed a little. "Well, I''m not sure how much longer I can


    be your sister-inw..."


    "What are you talking about, sis-inw?"


    "No, nothing." Yvonne shook her head and concealed her feelings.


    Shane''s smile broadened when he saw Yvonne''s reaction. He threw another nce at the CEO''s


    office then said, "Oh right, I heard yourpany has organized a weing party for Henry. You''ll


    be there, right?" 2


    "Weing party?" Yvonne blinked at him. There was indeed such a thing.


    Since Henry had taken over thepany, the former upper management would naturally organize a


    party t 0 wee him.


    Everyone in thepany knew about this already and Henry had also invited a few friends over for


    socialworking purposes.


    "I''m still deciding if I''m going.”


    She looked at the documents on her desk with a headache. How could she bring herself to attend a


    party if she couldn''t finish her work?

    Shane seemed to understand her difficulties and left without asking more questions.
