Predestined Marriage

Chapter 54 I’ll Pick You Up after Work

When they arrived at the marketing department, Vicky took Summer to the manager’s office.

The manager was a middle-aged bald man. When he saw Vicky, he smiled obsequiously.

“Miss Vicky, what are you doing here?”

Vicky crossed her arms and pointed at Summer, “This is the new market researcher. You teach her how

to do the work and take care of her.”

Although she asked the manager to take care of Summer, she seemed to be cold to Summer.

The manager felt that he had grasped the key point and said, “I will take good ‘care’ of her.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Vicky glanced at Summer and then left.

Vicky’s words made the manager even more certain that he understood what she really meant.

“Goodbye, Miss Vicky!” The manager smiled and then looked at Summer seriously, “What’s your

name?”

“Summer Jarrett.”

The manager sat down in his chair and sized Summer up.

“Your surname is Jarrett? What’s your relationship with the president?”

Summer was disgusted by his gaze and said coldly, “Just acquaintances.”

The manager was obviously a flatterer and idiot. No wonder the Jarrett Group hadn’t made any

progress in the past few years.

Just acquaintances? In other words, Summer wasn’t close to the Jarretts.

The manager, who thought he had figured it out, smiled dirtily, “Do your bit, and I’ll make it worth your

while.”

He deliberately emphasized the word “do”, which disgusted Summer.

But she didn’t say anything and was led to her desk.

After a brief introduction, she sat down and felt the gaze of her colleagues.

They were curious about such a beautiful women led here by Miss Vicky.

Summer didn’t care about this. After sitting down, she took a picture and sent it to Jessica.

She texted, “I’m working in the Jarrett Group.”

Jessica replied, “What’s your title? Vice general manager?”

Summer texted, “Market researcher.”

Jessica was shocked and replied, “Why don’t you be my assistant? I’ll pay you 500,000 a year.”

Summer laughed.

How could Jessica pay an assistant 500,000 a year?

A colleague came over and said, “Summer, the manager asked you to go to his office. He has

something to tell you.”

Summer smiled, “Alright, I’ll go at once. Thank you.”

The colleague hesitated and gave her a look, indicating that the manager had evil intentions.

Summer wasn’t afraid at all. She knew that the manager was an incompetent and lascivious flatterer at

first glance.

Moreover, she was prepared.

…

She knocked on the door and entered the manager’s office.

“Summer, this is the documents that I have just sorted out. You take them back and have a look.”

Would he be that kind?

“Thank you, manager.” Summer reached out for the documents.

The manager suddenly touched her hand and said, “Don’t leave in a hurry. Let’s talk about work.”

Summer wanted to withdraw her hand, but the manager grabbed it and said, “Sit next to me. That

would be better for us to talk.”

“Manager, please let go of my hand,” Summer protested.

The manager thought that he had given her enough hints, and didn’t expect rejection.

His expression darkened. He forcefully pulled Summer towards him, with his other arm around her

waist, “You heard what Miss Vicky said earlier. If you sleep with me, I won’t make things difficult for

you.”

“Oh?” Summer smiled at him and put her hand into her pocket.

The manager thought that she gave in and leaned forward to kiss her. But he suddenly felt numb all

over and his eyes widened. He pointed at her and said “you”. Then, he fell to the ground.

After putting away the stun gun, Summer stepped on the manager’s body and walked out.

The accident in the Violet Gold Club had taught her a lesson.

The colleagues were all surprised when they saw that Summer came out so soon.

Summer only smiled at them.

Just as she sat down, her phone rang.

The number was a little familiar.

Actually, she didn’t want to answer it. But when she thought that she would meet the person every day,

she picked up the phone and said, “Hello?”

Leonardo noticed her indifference and suddenly regretted having said that he was Douglas back then.

However, if she had known from the beginning that he was Leonardo, those interesting things they had

experienced might not have happened.

He asked, “How was your first day at work?”

Summer stopped flipping through the documents. He called just to ask about her first day at work?

She closed the files and asked, “Is that why you called?”

“Don’t forget that you still owe me a meal. How about tonight? I’ll pick you up after work.” Then he hung

up the phone and didn’t give her the chance to refuse.

Summer was somewhat puzzled. She had offended “Douglas” this morning. Logically speaking, he

should be angry and then think of a way to deal with her.

But he was calm as if nothing had happened.

This made her a little flustered.

“Guys, the manager passed out.”

The manager’s office was not far from Summer’s desk. She looked up and saw a woman standing at Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

the door and calling for help.

Summer quickly looked down.

In the end, the manager was taken to the hospital.

Summer touched the stun gun in her pocket and found it powerful.

The manager didn’t come back in the afternoon. Summer had a peaceful day.

…

After work, she met Vicky outside the elevator.

Summer had been looking through those documents for a whole day, so she was a little tired and didn’t

want to quarrel with Vicky. Therefore, she stepped aside and let Vicky enter the elevator first.

But Vicky didn’t enter the elevator. As soon as other staffs left, only Vicky and Summer were there.

Neither of them took the initiative to speak.

After entering the elevator, Vicky glanced at Summer and asked, “Did the driver come to pick you up? If

not, Jerome will pick me up for dinner later. And I can ask him to give you a lift.”

Hearing this, Summer looked at Vicky in surprise.

Jerome made up with Vicky?

Vicky noticed Summer’s gaze and raised her chin proudly.

“No need,” Summer said and suddenly remembered that “Douglas” had said that he would come and

pick her up.
