Nearly startled out of her wits, Etta hurriedly turned around and bowed respectfully.


    “Mr. Bryant.”


    Marco strode into the conference room, with Carl following behind.


    “Who are you?” Marco asked, casting a cold nce on Etta and then turning to his assistant.


    “Carl, how can you allow just about anyone to enter the conference room?”


    Etta panicked and quickly said in her defense, “Mr. Bryant, I’m your new secretary, Etta Hayes. I came


    to bring coffee.”


    She was practically shaking with apprehension and trying to give Carl a pleading Look.


    But Carl avoided her gaze and looked up at the ceiling instead as if he didn’t see her looking at him.


    He had not expected that someone would offend Loraine so soon.


    Marco attached great importance to Loraine now, so if he were to try to cover for Etta, he would be


    fired.


    “What position does she hold in the secretarial department?” Marco asked him with a frown.


    There were tens of thousands of employees in Bryant Group, so there was no way he could know each


    and every one.


    But before Carl could answer, Loraine sneered, “It seems Mr. Bryant has a lot of young and beautiful


    female secretaries.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Marco was stunned. But he recovered quickly and tried to exin himself. “The secretaries are only


    working for Carl. They’re under his leadership. They have nothing to do with me.”


    Carl nodded in concurrence and added, “That’s true. She’s my subordinate and has no business with


    Mr. Bryant.”


    Loraine looked indifferent as if she didn’t take their exnation seriously.


    Etta, on the other hand, was highly embarrassed.


    She had just tried to show Loraine that she had a special rtionship with Marco, but now, Marco


    imed not to know her.


    She would not give up so easily!


    A trace of resentment shed through her eyes and Etta looked at Marco with tears in her eyes.


    “Mr. Bryant, I’m the one who takes care of you in thispany. I knew you were busy this morning and


    you didn’t have time to have breakfast.


    I was worried that the meeting would take Long, so I specially prepared some coffee and desserts.”


    She was confident that the tears in her eyes could easily arouse any man’s pity.
