CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: FIRST DAY AT WORK

The reason Group Three is so popular is, of course, because it’s directly under President Jason Hawthorne’s translation team. Whenever the president goes on business trips abroad, he picks suitable translators from Group Three to accompany him.

This is why everyone wants to join Group Three — the chance to get up close with the president!

Hearing these rumors, Laura Quincy scoffed, hoping she would never have any contact with the Cold-Blooded Demon King ever!

However, she was puzzled, "Then what do Group One and Group Two do?"

Crystal Langley whispered, "Group One used to be the exclusive translation team for the old chairman, and later it was given to Asher Thorne; Group Two is made up of Asher’s people, but now that the Aegis Group is controlled by the Fourth Young Master, Group Three is rising up."

Laura Quincy was stunned. So complicated?

Crystal Langley continued, "Now you know how lucky you are! Recently, a senior staff member from Group Two who’s a Fiorina language expert wanted to switch over but couldn’t, even though they had a good relationship with Team Leader Jennings!"

Laura Quincy had a black line on her forehead. It seems she’s unintentionally made some new enemies, no wonder Crystal and the others called her a parachute soldier...

Inside the president’s office on the 59th floor.

Jason Hawthorne put down the pen he had just finished signing with, "Has Laura Quincy started working yet?"

Mason Cross nodded, "Yes, she officially started today."

Jason Hawthorne leaned back in his leather chair, a glint of interest sparkling in his dark eyes, "Call Asher Thorne and have Laura Quincy sent to his office."

Mason Cross nodded, "Yes."

While familiarizing herself with the department’s rules, Laura Quincy suddenly received an order to go to the team leader’s office. She was a bit clueless but had no choice but to go.

Just after stepping into the elevator, a message from Crystal Langley came through WeChat: The team leader of Group Three, Young Master Thorne, is dashing and handsome beyond compare!

She raised her lips indifferently, pressed the button for the 59th floor, thinking the team leader also worked on this floor, only to find out it was so far away.

After exiting the elevator, she was led to an office with simple and crisp decor.

However, no sign of the team leader!

Suddenly—

The door opened, and surprisingly, who entered her sight was the Cold-Blooded Demon King, Jason Hawthorne?

What the hell! Whose office is this really?

Jason Hawthorne squinted his eyes slightly, scrutinizing her. Chestnut-colored wavy hair, deep V black suit, pencil skirt just below the knees, slit slightly at the front, poised yet alluring.

"Sit."

"..."

Laura Quincy tried hard to restrain her dislike for him. After all, he’s her big boss now, and she didn’t know why he wanted to see her today, so staying cautiously observant seemed the best course.

Jason Hawthorne noticed her elegant sitting posture, legs slightly tilted and crossed, from his angle he could admire the smooth lines of her legs complemented by black stockings, yet he could still imagine those legs being long and fair...

His Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed twice; he, who was never interested in women, was actually feeling desire at this moment?

Then he picked up the brewed tea on the desk for a light sip, masking the fire in his eyes.

The atmosphere was too oppressive; Laura Quincy couldn’t help but speak, "President Hawthorne, since you already know I didn’t kidnap Little Mars... Young Master, could you kindly withdraw those false reports against me and issue a statement to the public explaining it was all a misunderstanding, clearing my name."

Jason Hawthorne casually put down the teacup, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly, "Do you think that story meant to appease a child will fool me?"

Laura Quincy frowned, "Who’s appeasing a child? Everything I told Little Mars was true! If there’s any falsehood, I welcome being struck by lightning!"
