Sebastian raised his eyebrows and eyed him as if he was looking at a fool.

“Of course, it’s because she will be your secretary.”

“My secretary? Oh my God! But there are many senior executives in this company. Why did you make this woman my secretary? It’s not fair at all!” Garrett threw Laney’s resume on the table in defiance. The frown on his face also deepened.

Sebastian retorted matter-of-factly, “You of all people should know that she’s not really a secretary. As Natalie’s bodyguard, this job is just to keep her undercover. Besides, you are the only one that knows her true identity in this company. Which other senior executive could she possibly work for while doing her real job? Answer me!”

Garrett was rendered speechless. But he still couldn’t accept the development. Just when he was about to refuse again, someone knocked on the door.

A second later, Laney pushed the door open and came in. She was wearing a white skirt and a light pink shirt, which made her look beautiful and harmless. With a stack of documents in her arms, she said solemnly, “Good day, Mr.Harding. I’m your new secretary. Please feel free to advise me and give me any tasks to do. I promise to do my best.”

Garrett was forced to swallow the words of refusal. Despite Laney’s harmless appearance, he couldn’t help but remember how she had smacked him down with one hand the first time they met. Garrett rubbed his back. He could still feel a dull pain in his shoulder.

“Ahem. I’m afraid I can’t do any of that.” He suddenly suffered a banging headache. Garrett was naturally a ladies’ man. He loved beautiful women and behaved like a gentleman in their midst.

Although Laney was beautiful, she was equally dangerous. He suspected she could easily break him into two, so he planned to stay away from her. She was a rose with thorns in his eyes.
