Joyce said Mr. Evert was absent, so Jolene went to Bowen Evertâs office.
During the handover last time, she remembered that Bowen had wanted to see Martinâs contract. Flora had seemed to have taken it in, but Jolene didnât know if she had taken it out.
It was estimated that Bowen had lost his temper, and they had been panicked, not knowing what to do.
Jolene searched everywhere but couldnât find the contract.
Jolene wondered if someone hadnât taken it away on purpose. They wouldnât have thrown it away.
She thought about it, bent down, and looked under the table, and sure enough, she saw a black folder underneath.
Jolene stretched her arms on the ground and took out the folder effortlessly.
Just as she was about to stand up from under the table, someone came in.
She heard Vionaâs voice, âBowen, I just passed by your company, and I brought you some soup.â
âThank you,â Bowenâs voice replied.
Jolene saw two pairs of feet slowly walking towards her from 0.00%
under the table.
She didnât know if she should stand up now, but Bowen wouldnât leave for now. She couldnât squat here forever.
Just as she moved, Viona suddenly mentioned her name.
âLast time I saw Miss Marsh, Bowen, did you dismiss Miss Marsh for Toyar Companyâs affairs?â
âDid she tell you?â
âShe mentioned it.â Viona said, âMiss Marsh had been with you for quite a long time. If she had been fired for this kind of thing, I am afraid she wouldnât be able to find a similar job in the industry.â
âSo you meanâ¦â
âIt is not easy for a girl to work outsideâ¦â
âWhy did you speak for her?â Not only was Bowen confused, but Jolene was also confused.
âI was worried that you fired her to avoid suspicion.â Vionaâs voice was very gentle, âI know there are rumors outside that the relationship between Miss Marsh and you is unusual, Bowen. I have 100% trust in you, and I donât believe what outsiders say, so you donât have to avoid suspicion and dismiss Miss Marsh.â Jolene nestled under the table. Her stomach ached, and she hugged her knees, sweating all over her forehead.
What Viona had just said was reasonable.
Even quite considerate.

18 Jolene couldnât help but question herself a little bit. Had she thought of Viona too harshly before?
She had always felt that Viona was a bit like a tiger with a smiling face, the kind who hides a knife in her smile.
But this time, someone spoke for her in her absence.
As a result, she was even more unable to stand up and could only maintain her original posture until they left.
Viona walked to the table while talking and put the thermos on the table.
She walked around the table, intending to pour out a bowl of soup for Bowen, but when she suddenly saw a fuzzy head under the table, she screamed in fright and jumped towards Bowen.
âBowen, whatâs under the table? There seems to be someone!â Bowen also froze momentarily and looked behind the table with a frown.
âWhoâs there?â
This situation was embarrassing for Jolene. Should Jolene Marsh stand up or continue squatting?
She hesitated, only to hear Bowen yell again, âWho is it! Come out!â
In the current situation, she couldnât hide. She could only hold onto the legs of the table and slowly get out from under the table.
When she stood up in embarrassment, with a few spider threads hanging from the top of her head, Viona saw her face clearly and screamed in surprise.
âAssistant Jolene, why were you under the table?â
Jolene had never experienced such an embarrassing moment.
She put the folder on the table and smiled, âI heard that Martinâs contract couldnât be found. I handled it last time, so I came here to help find it.â
