Their voices grew more excited as they spoke.
The two male employees were speechless.
They exchanged a glance, wondering, “What exactly are these women thinking?”
Ever since Eden from Ravendile showed up at the company with a bouquet, many of the women in the attice had become completely obsessed.
Meanwhile, Vespera and Gerard had returned to the top floor.
Gerard open flw door to an office. “This is your office. The secretary’s department was originally on this floor, but Mr. Reid preters peace, so we moved them to
“You’ve met with everyone downstairs. From now on, you’ll be in charge of the secretary department.”
Okay, Hank you.” Vespera nodded as she took in the new office.
It was quite large and beautifully decorated.
Kherard added, “My office is just across from the president’s. If you need anything, you know where to find me.”
Vespera smiled and nodded in response.
Gerard left the attice but returned shortly. “Oh, by the way, this floor only has the thare of us–Mc Held, you, and me. You know how Mr. Beid is. He’s kind of a

like anyone just walking into his office, to sometimes we have to deal with the small details ourselves. It might get
Vespera’s smile faltered slightly. “Don’t tell me Ell have to use a vacuum cleaner to clean his office.”

Gerard’s expression tumed sheepish. “Well, not exactly. Mr. Chandler handles the cleaning. We just need to make coffee for him, press his suits, wake him up
“Wait a second.” Vespera raised her hand to stop him, her smile disappearing entirely.
“Wake him up? Unless we’re on a business trip, secretaries work nine to five. We’re not supposed to manage his life, are we?” she asked.
Gerard replied honestly, “Mr. Reid has a habit of taking afternoon naps.”
Vespera paused for a few seconds.
“Gerard, 1 think we really need to have a serious talk about our roles. You’re the president’s assistant, while I’m his secretary,
“Technically, I handle company attairs, and you take care of his personal matters. You’re the one in his inner circle.
I don’t mind making coffee in the office, but waking him up? That’s a bit too personal. That’s your job.”
She added, “You’re used to it away.
Inside, Gerard was crying. He wasn’t used to it at all. Domonic was notoriously grumpy when woken up
He’d say, “Wake me up in an hour,” but when the time came, he wouldn’t budge. And if he did wake up, the atmosphere would instantly turn icr
If Gerard let him get more sleep, he’d wake up annoyed, asking, “Then what’s the point of having you around?”
Too early, too late–it was never right… And he never even realized it himselt.
“Oh come on, there’s no need to split hairs. We all work for Mr Beld, so we share the workload. Whoever’s free handles it. Anyway, I’ll leave you to it,” Gerard said.
With that, he made a quick exit.
Vespers stared after him. Seriously? He just ran away like that?
No way. She could compromise on everything else, but the wake–up duty? That was his responsibility.
She made a mental note to have another conversation with Gerard about this soon.
She closed the door and walked to her desk, setting down her bag and personal items before turning on the computer and setting a password.
