Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 32: Mumble in Her Dream

It took her a lot of effort to shower Jennifer, and it took her all her strength to move Jennifer from the

bathroom to the bed. She was having such a high fever that Rose did not dare to sleep. After putting a

cold towel on her head, Rose yawned and went into the bathroom to look at the clothes she was

wearing.

She pinched her nose and looked at the stinky business suit, thinking that she should just throw it

away. However, when she looked at the label at the back, she took a deep breath. The price of this suit

was enough for her to buy clothes for half a year. She better not threw it away, it could be worn again

after washing it.

The cool towel placed on Jennifer's forehead intermittently stimulated her nerves.

When she thought of the entanglement between her and Hans all these years, she felt more and more

like she was in a dream and she had lost her rationality. She indulged herself in a half-dream state and

repeatedly had the same dream.

It started with what happened just now, where he left indifferently, disregarding her safety.

Then the scene changed.

At the edge of the cliff, he watched her fall into the abyss coldly and he left determinedly.

"Hans... Han... Hans..."

When Rose returned to the bed with a new towel, she heard Jennifer mumbling. She couldn't help but

mutter, "Why are you still thinking about Hans when you are running such high fever?"

She was Jennifer's classmate in university. They had the same major, lived in the same dormitory, and

joined the same company after they graduated. She witnessed Jennifer who went from a lively girl to

Secretary Jennifer who was sharp and rational at work. She also witnessed Jennifer full of expectations

of Hans only to have her hopes shattered into pieces.

The broken cell phone at the bedside seemed to light up for a second, but the screen was too broken

to see what was going on.

Rose changed the wet towel on her forehead and lay on her hand, staring at Jennifer's face. She had a

lot of mixed feelings.

She used to envy Jennifer the most when she was in university.

Jennifer was beautiful, had a good temper, and she kept a low profile. She was polite to the people

around her and wasn't arrogant at all. If her parents hadn't helped her move out when she graduated

and bought her a limited edition white sports car as a graduation gift, no one would know that she was

rich.

The thing that made her envious the most was that she had an older brother who always sent her many

delicious and fun things, and the whole dormitory got to enjoy it with her.

Back then Rose didn't know that Jennifer's brother was actually Hans, and she also didn't know that

Hans was not her biological brother.

She only remembered that every weekend, a lady would call out using a loudspeaker from downstairs,

"Jennifer from room 408, your brother's gift has arrived. Come down and get it."

Then, everyone in the dormitory would rush down, trying to take a look at her mystery brother.

Although Jennifer kept a low profile, people could guess that her family was rich by the things she ate

and the way she dressed. She even had a brother who was single. Based on Jennifer's appearance,

the whole dormitory was looking forward to finally meeting him.

However, Hans never came in person. He always asked someone else to bring the things here. They

would leave the box in the lobby without any messages in it.

However, the girls in the dormitory were not upset by it. After all, he was smart enough to send

everything in quadruplicate. The girls would carry the boxes back to share the goods. There were many

popular trinkets and imported snacks, just like a treasure box. It became something for the whole dorm

to look forward to every week.

It wasn't until their graduation that Rose was fortunate enough to see Jennifer's legendary brother from

afar. They were taking graduation photos at the time. The two other girls in the dormitory packed up

their things in advance and left with their parents after they took photos. After crying bitterly, Rose went

to wash her face and went back to find Jennifer, only for her to see Jennifer's parents taking pictures in

front of the school buildings. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Are you looking for Jennifer? She just went that way, she saw her brother coming." Stephanie smiled

as she pointed toward the direction.

So she finally got to see Hans from a distance and she was stunned.

Sure enough, just like the legend of room 408, he was even more outstanding, handsome and

extraordinary. His black suit complemented his tall and muscular figure. Countless compliments flashed

through Rose's mind, and it finally turned into a sigh. "Comparisons are odious. Why can't I be this

lucky?"

At the graduation party before this, Rose and Jennifer had a night chat. At that time, the other two

roommates were drunk and unconscious. After a lot of talking, Jennifer was a little tipsy. She pointed to

the stars in the sky, and she was drooling with laughter. "Rose, my brother is more beautiful than the

stars in the sky."

Rose's alcohol tolerance was good, but even those who didn't get drunk easily had their own sadness,

such as these drunkards in front of her.

"Yes, your entire family is beautiful."

"I especially like my brother. He is the best guy in the world."

"Do you have a thing for your brother?"

"No... He is not my real brother..." Jennifer lay on her shoulder, and her face was red. "Disappointing

right? I know you guys are always dreaming of my brother. So I purposely won't show him to you guys!"

Rose did not know whether to laugh or cry and Jennifer, who was drunk, acted like a child. She

completely lost her usual sense of propriety and was being territorial. She held her neck and shook it. "I

will marry Hansy."

"Fine, you will marry him..."

Back then, even though Rose didn't know what love was, she could see the love in Hans's eyes. Even

when he acted like he was giving Jennifer the cold shoulder, the way he looked at her made Rose

admired for a long time.

But then, how did it end up like this?

She looked at Jennifer, who seemed like she was having a nightmare. She kept shouting, "Don't go."

Her face grimaced as if she was struggling.

She couldn't remember since when did Jennifer's angel-like brother who used to be a ray of sunshine

turned into a soul-crusher from hell. He was cold and ruthless, with gossips and women surrounding

him. He completely destroyed Jennifer, inside and out.

Over the years, she was the only witness to Jennifer's pain.

Her initial admiration gradually turned into a complicated feeling every time she saw the two of them.

She still didn't understand whether Hans loved Jennifer or not. If he loved her, how could he hurt her

like this? If he didn't love her, why won't he just let her go and let her live her own life?

After Jennifer's cell phone stopped flashing, Rose's cell phone began to ring incessantly. It was the

third call from Hans. She did not answer it and stared at the cell phone screen angrily instead. "You

a*shole, I should let you worry and maybe you can reflect on yourself.

"Where were you when your girlfriend was being injured? Now you knew you should be looking for

her? I'm not going to pick up your call." Rose thought.
