Chapter 1038
Jordan did not say anything and merely stared at me with a pair of dark eyes. I felt a tingling in my
scalp.
Why did he keep staring at me?
To ease the awkwardness, I cleared my throat. "Have you had breakfast, Mr. Fredericks?"
I nearly forgot that my main job now was to be in charge of this guy''s three main meals.
I did not prepare breakfast for him this morning, so he most probably had not eaten yet.
Jordan did not reply to my question and seemed toozy to entertain me as he lowered his head.
He began to handle the documents in front of him.
After mulling it over, I finally went downstairs to buy breakfast.
When I came back, Jordan was not in the office and neither was Lally.
I rememberedter that there was a morning meeting today. I rushed to the conference room.
The meeting had already started. After going in, the person who was making the report stopped
talking and everyone turned to look at me.
I stood on the spot, feeling tremendously
embarrassed. After calming down, I quickly said, "I''m sorry for the interruption and for beingte."
Jordan looked deeply at me before signaling the person on stage to continue.
After a long morning, the meeting finally ended. Before I could leave the conference room, Jordan
called out to me.
I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him, smiling a little unnaturally. "Mr. Fredericks."
"You didn''t know we had a meeting today?" he asked, sounding a little stern.
I nodded, then shook my head. I wanted to cry but had no tears. "I''m really sorry, Mr. Fredericks. I
promise this won’t happen again."
He pursed his lips, his tone sounding a little heavier." You''ve worked in Zimmer Corporations and
Grant Corporation before. That shows that you''re capable, which was why I allowed you to join the
company without going through the HR department. However, that doesn''t give you the right to
ignore thepany''s rules and regtions. I hope you can take your job seriously."
I nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Mr. Fredericks. I’ll reflect on my behavior."
Jordan did not say anything else and walked around me to leave the conference room.
I sighed, still feeling a little uneasy.
Cally saw how dejected I was and walked over to console me. "Mr. Fredericks takes his job very
seriously. You just need a few days to get used to it."
I was a little surprised that Cally would console me so gently. She would normally put on a stern
look on her face. She had only spoken to me about work matters.
I felt much better after hearing her words and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Cally sighed. "This is something everyone goes through. If a woman refuses to be a housewife who
only relies on men, then she must climb higher in the workce to get her own attainments."
I nodded. "I''ll work hard."
Cally nned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and looked back at me. She said,
"Here''s a little tip for you. Mr. Fredericks has a sweet tooth, but he only takes sweet treats in
moderation. You can carry some candies around with you to reduce the chances of getting
scolded."
I was a little surprised. "He likes sweet stuff?"
Cally nodded. "I was surprised when I learned about it too, but that''s really adorable, don''t you
think?"
Iughed. "Indeed."
Very few men had a sweet tooth. Take Theo, for example. He was basically insensitive to all things
sweet. Hence, whening across a man like Jordan who liked to eat sweets, it did seem a little
adorable.
Cally continued, "Mr. Fredericks has gastric problems and they''ll often act up if he skips his meal.
Remember to prepare some gastric medicine with you."
She went back to work after saying that.

I stood rooted on the spot and reflected on myself. I was indeed not treating work seriously enough
right now.
When I was done reflecting, I returned to my office. After picking up the documents I had gone
through, I went to look for Jordan.
