Chapter: 1278
"Have a nice day."
She waved at him as she walked quickly away.
Seeing that she was literally running away from him, Bennett couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Claudia leaving in a hurry, the driver didn't say anything and just held an umbrella to protect Bennett from the rain.
Meanwhile, Bennett couldn't take his eyes off Claudia's receding figure. He smiled as he watched her walk away. It was only when the figure disappeared around the corner of the garden that he finally looked away and the smile on his face faded.
Without saying a word, Bennett turned around and walked to the car.
The driver quickly opened the door and he got in.
After Bennett got into the car, the driver closed the door and then hurried to the driver's side. He quickly closed the umbrella and got into the car in turn.
Sitting in the back seat, Bennett closed his eyes to rest for a moment. The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror but didn't dare say anything. He drove Bennett to the company without saying a word the whole way.
That day, Jackson arrived at the company early in the morning. He had worked for Bennett for many years, but he had never been as nervous as he was this morning.
In fact, yesterday, many people in the company made comments about the CEO's wife. Jackson could have stopped them, but he didn't. The thing was, he didn't know if the CEO and his wife liked employees talking about them or not.
That morning, Jackson was standing in front of the elevator, patiently waiting for Bennett to arrive. He was very uneasy. When the elevator doors finally opened, Jackson came face to face with Bennett.
As soon as Bennett stepped out of the elevator, Jackson walked up and informed him of his schedule for the day.
After he had given his report, Jackson looked at Bennett nervously, his heart beating faster. “Well Mr. Dreskin, Mrs. Dreskin's arrival at the company yesterday did not go unnoticed and several employees spoke about it in the chat group. They were all just joking. No one said anything disrespectful about Mrs. Dreskin. Do you think I should warn them not to entertain such talks again?"
Bennett turned his head and glanced at Jackson. "No," he replied indifferently.
The single-worded answer was all Jackson needed to feel relieved.
Jackson had been working as Bennett's secretary for several years.
Because of this, he could figure out his boss's mood even when the latter didn't say anything. At this time, Jackson could feel that Bennett was in a better mood today than yesterday.
Since the CEO was in a good mood today, the working atmosphere would be more pleasant.
Jackson was also in a good mood, so without thinking too much, he blurted out, "Mr. Dreskin, you know, the love you and your wife share is so great that many of us envy you."
Jackson seemed to be trying to curry favor with Bennett. But one thing Bennett deeply hated was flattery.
Jackson had been his secretary for so many years and he expected Jackson to maintain a professional attitude at all times. The reason was that Bennett liked to work professionally.
Jackson regretted what he said almost as soon as he said it.
When he glanced at Bennett, he was already sweating profusely.
