Chapter 1523
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline walked to the door of the office. When she was about to lift her hand to knock, she could see that there was no one inside through the glass.
She pushed the glass door open curiously. After she went in, she placed the document on the desk.
She was curious about where Jeremy had gone to when the landline on the desk started ringing.
Madeline picked it up since she was there. Then, she heard a manâs voice from the other end of the phone. âMr. Whitman, the final proposal for ZS has been sent to your inbox this morning. The customer is urging us pretty urgently, so please reply to me as soon as possible. Iâll be waiting here.â
After Madeline heard this, she replied naturally, âIâll tell Mr. Whitman about this. Please hold on.â
The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback when he heard the hoarse sound of a woman. After a few seconds, he replied, âThanks.â
âYouâre welcome.â After Madeline said that, she hung up the phone.
She wanted to call Jeremy, but she noticed he had left his phone in the office.
Madeline walked to the front of the computer and turned it on after she entered the password while it was in sleeping mode.
She remembered that Jeremyâs password was her birthday. He had not changed it this entire time.
When she thought about this, Madeline felt extremely sweet.
She clicked into Jeremyâs private email inbox with ease, and after a while, she found the email the man mentioned just now.
After she opened it, she glanced through it and understood the contents of the email. She was sure that there was no problem with it.
After she read through the email, she sent the email back to the man on Jeremyâs behalf.
When she was done with this, the door of the office was opened.
When she saw Jeremy walking in, she quickly shut down the computer.
âMr. Whitman.â Madeline walked over to him. âI brought over the document you asked for. If thereâs nothing elseâ¦â
âThere is.â
ââ¦â
Jeremy replied bluntly and successfully stopped Madeline from leaving.
âI need to work overtime tonight. Stay here with me.â
ââ¦â
âI mean, I need you to stay and help me.â Jeremy corrected himself.
Madeline looked at the man who had a serious expression on his face and did not say anything more.
He walked over to his desk and sat down. Then, he touched his computer with his fingers.
âDid you turn on my computer just now?â Jeremyâs deep eyes met Madelineâs.
Madeline nodded because she felt that it would not be appropriate to lie. âYeah, there was an urgent call for you just now, soâ¦â
âHow do you know the password to my computer?â
âI donât.â Madeline declined quickly. âI just randomly guessed. Usually, men would use their beloved womanâs birthday as their password. So, I tried Mrs. Whitmanâs birthday.â
After Jeremy heard Madelineâs explanation, he nodded as if he was in deep thought.
Madeline saw a faint smile on Jeremyâs lips, and her heart started racing. It seemed as if the man did not believe her.
While she was pondering, Madeline heard Jeremy asking with a small smile.
âYouâre pretty smart. So, does the man you love the most use your birthday as his password as well?â
ââ¦Yes, thatâs why I had that idea,â Madeline continued to explain while continuing the topic.
Jeremy nodded slightly. He turned on his computer and browsed around a little. âYouâre not just smart.
You even unlocked my inbox and took care of my urgent email.â
