Chapter 169: Jessica Were Sent to the Canteen to Fetch Food
The new intern was good looking. She just graduated from college, and was said to be the beauty queen of a prestigious university.
She just came to the company and had never met Yvonne in person.
However, she heard from her colleagues that Mr. Leinster’s wife was the diva Yvonne Taylor. She had seen her photos and concert videos on the Internet. Of course, Yvonne looked beautiful in every way online, much more ravishing than her.
But within her perception, most celebrities were a bunch of ignorant and undereducated people, and their photos were photoshopped. So she didn’t think highly of Yvonne, maybe she didn’t look as good as her in real life.
She laughed off all those compliments about Yvonne on the Internet.
Jessica Lester thought, then came to Zachary’s office with a box of lunch.
"President... I see you didn’t eat tonight. I cooked this by myself... If you don’t mind..."
The office was almost empty, and Zachary didn’t expect that an intern would leave so late, so he took another look at her.
"No, thanks."
Jessica said immediately, "President, the lunch box is brand new, and the tableware is also brand new. I heard Ashly said that you hadn’t eaten properly for several days.
thought my cooking is not bad, so..." Who’s Zachary Leinster?
He’s not the kind of inexperienced man.
Over the years, there were countless women around him, from the company or from the high society, who managed to approach him in different ways.
It’s not the first time that someone had brought meals to him, which was not unusual at all.
But she’s the first one who had the nerve to play her little game as a subordinate, despite knowing that he was married.
Zachary looked at the intern in front of him with other emotion in his eyes.
"You were saying that you prepared this meal specially for me?"
"Yes..."
"Open it and see."
Jessica gritted her teeth, thinking that he accepted her offer.
A little flattered, she hurried to run over with the lunch box, and opened it gently.
"This is red wine beef, and Frobnian asparagus..."
Jessica didn’t earn much every month, but there was no doubt that she chose the best ingredients to make this meal for Zachary.
Even the onions cost 15 dollars a box. Her intention was clear.
"Jessica Lester."
"Mr. Leinster." Jessica’s eyes were filled with anticipation when she heard the person she admired the most call her name.
"How long did it take you to make this meal?"
"Ah, Mr. Leinster, it didn’t take long, I usually eat at will alone. Just thought your taste can be picky, so I made it carefully yesterday. It took over three hours..."
However, the way that Zachary sneered at her now was a bit creepy.
"The company chose you out of 2,000 fresh graduates because of your professionalism.
"You don’t improve your professional skills, but spend three hours making a box of lunch?
"I see that your mind is not focused on the president’s office, but you want to be a good cook." said Zachary with a smile, "In that case, I won’t hold you back. From tomorrow onwards, you go to the canteen to fetch food for the staff."
"Huh?"
Jessica was dumbfounded at that moment.
Fetch food for the staff?
Wasn’t it the job of the canteen aunts?
"But Mr. Leinster, I... My major... My university... My GPA..."
She talked a lot about how excellent her grades were, and fetching food was the last thing she could do.
But Zachary said, "Even a canteen aunt knows to serve every meal well. What are you doing as the senior secretary of the General Manager’s Office?
"Are you trying to do your job, or trying to get close to me?"
...
Undoubtedly, Jessica was bitterly humiliated by Zachary’s words.
It didn’t matter that he didn’t like her, but he even sent her to the canteen to fetch food.
He was adamant, and no matter how she showed weakness, begged and cried, he was not willing to give her another chance.
"Either work in the canteen and fetch food, or quit and leave."
Jessica had no choice. In the end, her decision made everyone surprised.
"I’ll go fetch food! I’m going to prove that I did all this today, not to get close to you at all!"
After saying that, she wiped her tears and walked away.
Mr. King standing outside the door felt really awkward when he saw this scene.
Did this intern think of herself as the heroine of a romance novel?
Did she think that the president would change his mind and take an interest in her if she fetched food for a month?
In fact, Zachary forgot about this person within a few days, and he seldom went to the staff canteen, so Jessica’s original plan to "make Zachary change his mind by fetching meals" was all in vain.
More than that, she became a joke of the entire company.
Everyone thought it was delusional and silly of her to think this would make the president change his mind and to play bitch.
In the canteen.
In midsummer, Jessica felt terribly hot in the face of a pile of meals every day.
She was wearing a white chef’s uniform, and her good-looking face was covered by masks and the hat, so no one could see what she looked like, and no one cared.
She was serving meals in an emotionless manner, but she didn’t serve as well as a professional aunt.
Those aunts were hard working, strong, got a knack for it. They even remembered the food that each one liked, had a laugh with someone every time, and were respected by the staff.
On the contrary, Jessica was not very strong, and always complained after doing a little work. Even though she felt that her arm was about to break, she was often blamed for serving too little rice, too little meat, the wrong dishes, and acting slowly.
The guys who used to pursue her couldn’t hear her deliberately titillating voice or
see her face through the glass. They scolded her every time because she couldn’t serve enough meals.
Jessica felt sorry for herself.
She ran off to cry about it and ended up being scolded by the department.
Until one day, she went back to her window in tears because her performance was so poor that her window was the most disliked place for all the canteen staff. Then she was told to serve soup.
The supervisor said that serving soup was easier because she didn’t have to remember everyone’s taste. Unlike meals, it was not difficult to control the quantity of soup, so he let her serve soup.
But everyone knew that serving soup was the most troublesome, because the soup was heavier than meals. And one would burn their hands if not careful enough. In summer, the soup barrel was burning hot and Jessica was about to give up several times. But once she thought of Zachary, she still did not want to let go.
Maybe one day, she would meet him when she was serving soup.
Maybe on the day they would meet, Zachary would be impressed, then feel
ashamed and pity for her...
However, Zachary never came, but Yvonne did.
Yvonne happened to come to the company today to talk with her agent. When it’s time for lunch, she remembered that the food at the Leinster Group was quite delicious, so she planned to stop by and have some.
Yvonne was here to see investors today. As a star, even though a good look was the most important, she should keep a low profile, so she dressed up a little.
She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a red slit dress. It was a kind of eye-catching red and the slits reached\ her thighs, revealing her white and fine skin.
Her long black curly hair was like seaweed. She was striding as if walking on air. She’s beautiful like the most perfect sculpture in ancient Greece. Wherever she passed by, the crowd would stop and admire her beauty.
Because she was wearing sunglasses, the crowd didn’t recognize her. But even though it covered her pretty eyes, when she walked up to Jessica, the latter was dumbfounded.
...
Yvonne’s beauty was undeniable.
She was born with a good skin, even the haters could not deny that.
Her beauty couldn’t be hidden, it just came out naturally. Everyone who saw her couldn’t help but admire, "Wow, she’s so pretty."
Because Yvonne was in close distance, Jessica could see vaguely the outline of her features under her sunglasses.
"I’ll have the seafood soup, please."
"OK..."
Jessica was stunned by her beauty.
When did such a person come to the company?
She’s so pretty... What if Zachary got bewitched by her and fell in love with her first?
Then she felt that face seemed familiar.
This woman.... She had seen her somewhere...
Wait...
It’s her?
After Jessica combined the face of the tall woman in front of her with those posters she’d seen online, her eyes instantly flied open!
Yvonne Taylor...
There were really people in this world who looked like this and didn’t need Photoshop at all!
She felt her old illusions were shattered at once!
No wonder Zachary wouldn’t even set eyes on her. She had always thought she was pretty enough, and the online photos of Yvonne must have been photoshopped.
But Yvonne’s presence today showed her how ridiculous she was to feel good about herself!
She felt resentful, humiliated and jealous!
Yvonne was wearing sunglasses and keeping a distance from the onlookers. People around thought she looked good but didn’t recognize her.
But Jessica was the closest one to her and recognized her. At that moment, she deliberately shouted out loud, ’’Yvonne Taylor! You’re Yvonne Taylor, right? Can I have your autograph?"
Her voice was so loud that everyone around heard her now.
Yvonne frowned unpleasantly at once.
She came to the canteen in her sunglasses today, just in order not to be recognized.
But when Jessica yelled like that, everyone knew it.
"Eh... What? Yvonne Taylor?"
"Where is she?"
"That pretty woman in the red dress is Yvonne Taylor!"
"Seems she really is..."
"She must be Goddess Yvonne! Goddess Yvonne, I’ve loved your songs for a long time, can you..."
At first, people were afraid to come forward because she was their boss’s wife.
But Yvonne was too popular, and when one person opened his mouth, the rest rushed towards her.
"Goddess Yvonne!"
"Goddess Yvonne!"
Others heard that Yvonne was in the canteen, and all gathered here.
The crowd suddenly went out of control, and Yvonne almost fell to the ground several times!
"Don’t push, everyone..." Since she was recognized, there was nothing she could do.
But her voice was low and was quickly drowned in the excited crowd.
In the panic, her sunglasses also fell on the floor and were trampled.
Yvonne began to be afraid. Her originally covered face was exposed, and she covered it again with her hands and hair strands. But there were countless people who began to take pictures and videos with mobile phones.
"Oh my God! She’s so beautiful! And she looks so good in real life!"
"Goddess Yvonne, can I take a picture with you?"
"Don’t push, don’t push..."
Yvonne was terrified, and just then the cacophony of voices became chaotic and out of control in her head.
Her heart was racing when a sharp pain crossed her brain. She frowned tightly as she lost control of her body and collapsed.
The situation was suddenly out of control.
There were so many people that they couldn’t see her falling to the ground.
At that moment, a cold glint flashed across Jessica’s eyes.
In front of her was a large barrel of boiling hot soup, steaming.
