Chapter 440
“Bruce, what are you trying to do? Are you going to let me sleep?”
“I just like to turn around. Can’t I?”
“Forget it, I’ll sleep in the guest room!” Joanna said as she lifted the blanket and left the bedroom.
When Bruce saw this, he was pissed off.
This damn woman would never give in, let alone coax him..
“Good! Good! You have guts!” Bruce was so angry that he couldn’t sleep.
For the entire night, he was hoping that she would suddenly come back and apologize to him.
Unfortunately, Joanna did not come back until midnight. He couldn’t help but fell asleep in a daze.
The next day.
Ten o’clock in the morning.
Roxanne looked at Zachary’s business card and decided to call him.
The phone rang a few times before Zachary lazily picked up the call. “Hello!”
“Hello, Mr. Garcia. I’m Roxanne.”
On the other end of the phone, Zachary was sleeping with a girl in his arms.
When he heard Roxanne’s voice, he instantly lost his sleepiness and pushed the girl in his arms away.
“Oh, Ms. Haynes, have you made up your mind?”
“I’ve thought about it. I’m willing to be your personal secretary.
“However, I have two conditions.”
“Tell me.”
Roxanne pondered for a few seconds and deliberately pretentiously, “First, I don’t work after eight in
the night.”
When Zachary heard this, he agreed without hesitation. “Okay!”
“Secondly, I won’t accompany you to socialize with clients. I’m only responsible for your daily work.”
Zachary smiled. “Hehe! What else?”
“That’s all. If you agree, I’ll work in your company. If you don’t agree, just forget what I said.”
“Alright, it’s a deal.” Zachary agreed readily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Zachary agreed so readily, Roxanne knew that he did have feelings for her.
Since that was the case, she had to seize the opportunity. She had to keep him in suspense and not let
him succeed too easily. Otherwise, he would look down on her.
“So when can I start working?”
“Come over in the afternoon to go through the procedures!”
“Alright.”
In the afternoon.
At the personnel department of the Garcia Group.
Roxanne completed the entry procedures and became Zachary’s private secretary.
At the office.
Roxanne had changed into a professional skirt, a white shirt, and a tight black suit.
Her exquisite face was covered in light makeup, and her hair was tied into a neat bun.
She was beautiful to begin with and had a good figure. Even though she was wearing work clothes, she
looked elegant and
noble.
Zachary’s eyes were like a scanner as he admired Roxanne greedily. “Ms. Haynes, this is your work
pass. Good luck.” “Mr. Garcia, what exactly shall I do? I have to tell you I don’t have
any work experience.”
Zachary smiled. “The job is very simple. You do whatever I ask you to do, such as making coffee and
delivering documents.”

“Is that all?”
“What else?” Zachary’s smile became even more evil as he stared at her with burning eyes.
Roxanne subconsciously lowered her eyes. “Mr. Garcia, I’ll go out now then.”
“Alright!”
Roxanne smiled and left the office.
As soon as she walked out of the office, she bumped into Jennie.
However, the two of them were not too familiar with each other so they did not greet each other.
Roxanne went straight to the secretary’s desk.
Jennie thought that she had seen it wrongly. She turned around and looked at Roxanne a few times.
“Zachary, who is that?”
“What’s wrong? Zachary sat in his office chair and looked at his sister with a smile.
Jennie was in disbelief. “Was the woman who just went out Roxanne?”
“Yeah! What’s wrong?”
When Jennie heard this, her eyes instantly widened. “Zachary, why is she here?”
“She’s my personal secretary now,”
“What?” Jennie was even more surprised!
Zachary did not have the time to talk to his sister. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go out.”
“Zachary, how could you let her be your personal secretary?”
“What’s the problem?”
“She was once in a mental hospital, and she’s Bruce’s ex–girlfriend. Now that the Haynes family is in
chaos and her reputation is a mess. How dare you hire her?”
Zachary didn’t care at all. “Can’t I?”
Jennie blinked and could not come back to her senses for a long time. “Zachary, are you interested in
her?”
“Little girl, you’re so nosy. Hurry up and leave.”
Jennie rolled her eyes and plopped down in a chair next to the desk. She replied with displeasure,
“Hmph, why would I go out? No way!”
“My lady, who made you so angry again?”
“Nobody. I’m being angry.”
“About what?”
“I’m annoyed!” Jennie pouted. She wasn’t happy at all.
Upon hearing this, Zachary set aside the document he was holding and looked at his sister with a
gentle smile. “If there’s something on your mind, feel free to tell me.”
“Why should I? You can’t help anyway.”
“Is it because of Bruce again?”
“Hmph…” Jennie rolled her eyes and frowned.
Seeing this, Zachary smiled helplessly. He knew what his sister was thinking.

His sister had always had a crush on Bruce since she was young.
Unfortunately, after so many years, she never made it to be with Bruce.
Now that Bruce and Joanna had suddenly gotten back together, she had even less chance.
“Jennie, there are plenty of eligible bachelors in Greyport. Why must it be Bruce?”
“I like him!”
“Well! What can I say?”
Jennie looked at her brother in frustration. “Zachary, can’t you think of a way for me? Can you bear to
see me being unrequited like this?
“I really don’t understand. How am I inferior to that Joanna?”
“Who said you’re inferior? You are the best.”
Then why doesn’t Bruce like me?”
Zachary smiled awkwardly. “How would I know? Every man looks at women differently.
“If I were Bruce, I would definitely choose you. I definitely wouldn’t like Joanna.”
Jennie’s anger intensified upon hearing this. “Bruce is completely blind! The Haynes sisters must have
cast some sort of spell on him, especially Joanna. I can’t for the life of me make out what he sees in
her.”
“I can’t help you with this!”
Jennie pouted and said coquettishly, “Hmph, Zacharyr, can’t you help me think of a way to tear them
apart!
“If you don’t help me, I’ll tell Dad that you want to date this lunatic Roxanne and ask Dad to chase her
away.
“Don’t even think about dating her.”
Zachary chuckled. “I don’t care! I didn’t say I wanted to date her.”
Realizing that Zachary wasn’t buying into her threat, Jennie switched tactics and adopted a cutesy
demeanor. “Zachary, please help me out! You’re so close to Bruce. I’m sure you can find a way to play
matchmaker for us,” she pleaded.
Zachary had no choice. “Then how do you want me to help you?”
“Help me ask him out and create an opportunity for us.”
“Bruce is very busy now…”
“My good brother, how will you know if you don’t try? Will you help me ask him out?”
“Can’t you ask him out yourself?”
When Jennie heard this, her expression became even more disappointed. “Bruce doesn’t even answer
my call, let alone hang out with me.”
