Chapter 1524
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âIt feels like a waste if I donât hire you as my secretary,â Jeremy said as if he was feeling rueful.
Suddenly, he walked over to Madeline and said, âDo you want to be my secretary? The kind whoâs always around me no matter the time and place?â
ââ¦â
Madeline felt as if she had never seen Jeremy like this before. He was saying this in such a serious manner and yet there was a frivolous smirk on his handsome face.
This should not be the expression he should have.
Madeline had nothing to say to that. However, Jeremy took one step closer to her.
His body towered over hers, and his aura that was like a shadow quickly enveloped Madeline.
Madeline sensed that something was amiss with Jeremy. She took a step back, but Jeremy suddenly grabbed her wrist.
âAre you declining my invitation?â There was a smile on his lips, and beneath his bottomless eyes, there was an unclear sense of sentiment.
Madeline tried to control herself and pretended to be calm. âMr. Whitman, youâre different from usual.â
âYou can even sense that Iâm different from usual. You pay a lot of attention to me indeed.â
ââ¦â
Madeline felt as if she had fallen into some sort of trap after she heard that. However, Madelineâs reaction was quick. She was lucky that she was wearing a mask right now, so at least Jeremy could not see the changes in her expression.
Madeline smiled softly, and her eyes looked calm.
âIâm not paying a lot of attention to you, Mr. Whitman. I mean, everyone out there knows you love your wife. In order to please your wife, you donât even have a lot of contact with the opposite gender. If thatâs the case, why would you want to hire a woman like me to stay by your side to be your secretary? Have you not considered Mrs. Whitmanâs feelings?â
âI have, so thatâs why I made this decision.â
Jeremy said, suddenly grabbing Madelineâs wrist to pull her in front of him.â
âIncluding what happened between us last night, itâs all done with the consideration of the woman I love the most.â
ââ¦â
Madeline widened her eyes in shock. She could feel that Jeremy was acting strangely when he said this.
Plus, what he said clearly proved that what happened last night was real and not a dream.
Madeline felt her face heating up horribly. She could not understand what Jeremy was talking about right now.
âDonât worry. No one else will know about what happened last night.â
ââ¦â
âNo wonder you keep targeting my woman at home. It seems that you like me, Miss Quinny.â Jeremy smirked.
âI guess that makes sense as well, considering that your so-called boyfriend is pretty much useless. At least Iâm much better than him.â
ââ¦â
Madeline was speechless again. âWhatâs wrong with this man tonight?â
When she was trying to figure out what was going on, Jeremy continued in a mischievous tone.
âI want to keep this distance with Miss Quinny. Do you think this is doable? We can see each other and stay with each other all the time if youâre my secretary. Donât you think this is ideal?â
When Madeline heard this, she felt a knot in her heart. âJeremy, are you insane?
âAre you trying to keep a woman whoâs not your wife as a mistress?â
The more Madeline heard this, the more annoyed she felt. Madeline could not understand what Jeremy was saying and doing right now.
She knew she was not a stupid woman and she knew she understood Jeremy. However, at this moment, she was at a loss.
Jeremyâs smirk looked even more righteous and sinister after seeing Madelineâs hesitation and shock.
âYou canât come to a decision, huh, Miss Quinny? Then I shall make one for you.â
