Chapter 2
"Yes, I'm willing." Alena Wright nodded quickly. Cohen Group was a well-known jewelry design company. If she could study there for a month, she will definitely make her progress by leaps and bounds.
Christiano was pleased. Then he said, "Very good! Then you will be my person from today. Follow me!"
Then he stepped away from the other interviewers.
Alena was quite confused and followed him directly to the President's office.
Looking at Christiano Cohen sitting on the office chair, Alena Wright was a little nervous and puzzled. So she decided to ask, "Sir...you...why did you give me this opportunity?"
"Don't you remember me?" Christiano looked at Alena. He asked her with a smile in his eyes, "Alena Wright, primary school girl?"
Alena thought so hard.
Alena suddenly remembered something, and said with surprise on her face, "Senior Christiano Cohen?"
She couldn't believe that it was actually him.
She did not expect that the President of the Cohen Group would actually be her senior at a University.
"It seems that you still remember me." Christiano Cohen laughed.
Alena was a little embarrassed that she didn't recognize him before, and said with a blushing face, "The main reason was that the senior has become so handsome now, I don't dare to recognize him."
Her words were not just for flattery. When they were still in school, Christiano wore a white shirt and a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and very nice. But now, he has a neat suit and has taken off his glasses, exuding a powerful aura.
He looked really different now.
When they were still in school, Christiano was the Chairman of the Student Union, and she was the Secretary of the Chairman. They worked well together, but Christiano was three years older than her, and she only served him as a secretary for one year, then he graduated.
However, during that year, they worked together very happily.
"You haven't changed at all, you still look like a teenage girl." Christiano smiled gently. Then he added, "I know you and I believe in your capabilities. With that, I am willing to give you this opportunity. But in order to avoid gossip by the Design Department, for one month, you will be by my side. It's just for the time being. I just want you to familiarize yourself with the company's procedures on behalf of my secretary. At the same time, I will personally teach you the knowledge of jewelry design so that you can get started quickly."
"Really? That's great! Thank you senior!" Alena agreed very happily.
From then on, Alena Wright officially joined the Cohen Group.
Because she had cooperated in the University before, she understood Christiano Cohen's habits. So she handled her work in an orderly manner, which made Christiano very satisfied.
That day, Alena just sorted out the meeting minutes and sent them to Christiano.
As a result, Christiano walked out of the office and looked at Alena, and said, "Alena, there is a simple business dinner in the evening. Please come with me."
"Okay." Alena nodded and agreed.
Although it was just a simple business dinner, Alena still put on delicate makeup for herself to make herself look more capable and formal, in line with the identity of a secretary.
Later that evening, they entered the hotel together.
Christiano Cohen's popularity was indeed very good. When he came over, many people came to greet him, "Good evening Mr. Cohen. I heard that Mr. Gray will also come tonight."
Upon hearing her ex-husband's name, Alena felt her eyelids twitch, and she felt slightly nervous and was not yet ready to see him again.
She hasn't come up with a reason yet to avoid seeing him. Then that moment, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Mr. Gray is here!"
Alena suddenly felt her heart was beating faster. She then looked towards the door and saw a man in a black suit walked in. He had wide shoulders and a narrow waist. He was tall and slender, with an outstanding temperament. He looks like a handsome monster.
A man like Waylon Gray was the focus of everyone's attention no matter where he goes. He was just too popular.
Alena realized that it was really him, nobody else.
Alena's face turned pale because she didn't expect to meet Waylon Gray so soon.
She was a little nervous, and she wanted to find a place to hide.
She figured it wasn't the right time yet to meet him again.
Alena prayed in her heart, but it was too late because Waylon had already seen them, and strode towards them. He said, "Mr. Cohen, I didn't expect to meet you here today."
"Oh, hi President Gray. It's so nice to see you again. Please give me your advice." Christiano and Waylon said hello, then the smiles on their faces faded.
Alena was trembling all over. So she lowered her head and held both of her hands nervously.
"I don't dare to advise, but I can still do it if I teach you how to do business." Waylon smiled and was extraordinarily arrogantly. Then he added, "The next bidding meeting, I'm afraid Mr. Cohen will have to go for nothing like before."
Christiano smiled gracefully, and said, "The results of the bidding meeting have not come out yet. It is not certain who will be the winner. Mr. Gray, it's too soon to be happy."
"I think that we have played against each other so many times. It's enough for you to see my strengths. It seems that you are not as smart and self-aware as I thought you'd be." Waylon uttered then took a sip of his drink.
Christiano Cohen gave a cold snort and did not answer.
Alena Wright stood by, feeling the atmosphere between Waylon and Christiano a little bit intense. Their confrontation made people quite uneasy.
She was thinking, and subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Waylon. Waylon suddenly turned and gazed at her. She immediately lowered her head in shock and quickly avoided his sight.
She saw that the relationship between Waylon and Christiano was not that good. She didn't want to lose her job because of her personal relationship with Waylon.
If only Alena could ask Waylon not to pay attention to her, then she would. She wanted so hard to disappear at that very moment.
"Mr. Cohen, your secretary was very smart from the very beginning. She knew what a good bird is, and chose to live in the woods. She chose to join the Monarch International Group. But I didn't expect you to find a new secretary so quickly?" Waylon felt that someone was watching him. In a blink of an eye, he saw Christiano Cohen's newly-changed beautiful female secretary looking at him and suddenly laughed.
Because the last person who looked at him that way was Christiano's former secretary.
He was suddenly curious. He wondered what would happen if he pried away his secretary again in front of him.
Waylon Gray was very happy to do something so fun and capable of hitting opponents.
Alena knew that Waylon already saw her, and her heart suddenly became tense. She knew that Waylon hated her and he would definitely not make her feel better. She knew that he would make her feel bad about herself in front of other people.
"President Gray, what do you want to do?" Christiano Cohen pulled Alena Wright behind him and looked at Waylon Gray with a vigilant expression.
"Christiano, don't be so nervous. I just think your new secretary is very beautiful, and there is just a very beautiful woman missing by my side." Waylon smiled very strangely. His eyes glimmered and were looking intently at Alena. With fatal temptation and confusion, he uttered, "This lady, are you willing?"
Alena stared at Waylon with wide eyes. She knew then that he would make her life like a living hell.
She couldn't understand what Waylon was up to.
From his marriage to the present, he has never laid eyes on her. Every time she talks, he uses the phone. His words were just full of contempt and insult to her. He hated her too much.
Now she couldn't understand why all of a sudden, he would praise her in front of other people.
Aside from that, he then asked her to go with him.
Alena was more than confused by what's happening.
She wondered if the President has taken the wrong medication and made him think differently.
"President Gray, some things are best done in moderation." Christiano's gentle face has already revealed anger.
Waylon could see that Christiano really cared about his new secretary.
Originally, Waylon only wanted to tease the new secretary. But now that Christiano was so nervous, he finds it more and more interesting.
"Mr. Cohen, don't be so nervous. I just want to make friends with your new secretary." Waylon spared no effort to hit his competitors. He took out a business card, handed it to Alena, and said, "This is my personal business card. You can contact me whenever you want."
As he said that, he stuffed the business card into Alena's hand, and even hooked her palm.
Alena was manipulated by him just like that, and her whole body was numb. Her face was flushed and appeared caught off guard.
"Mr. Cohen, then I won't disturb you." Waylon drank his wine in the glass. Before leaving, he looked at Alena affectionately and said, "I'll be waiting for you."
After that, Waylon hurriedly left.
Alena's face was so pale. She finally understood why Waylon had such an attitude towards her. He did not recognize her at all.
He didn't even know that she was his wife who had been married for three years.
It was really crazy. After three years of marriage, after loving him for so long, Waylon doesn't even know what she looks like. Such a shame.
Alena couldn't believe that Waylon's true attitude was like that.
