Raeleigh looked over at Jepherson. "Why must you do this?"
"What did I do?" Jepherson retorted, and Raeleigh asked, "Didn't you tell Stuart to address me as madam?"
"I did, but he already addressed you so himself in the car yesterday."
Stumped, Raeleigh had forgotten about it.
Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and said, "Do you want me to show you the dashcam?"
Raeleigh did not answer but merely stood in the elevator, silent the entire ride.
After exiting the elevator, Jepherson brought Raeleigh to his office and called his secretary after entering.
"Bring some fruits, snacks, and the magazines you read some time ago over."
The phone ended with Lucy's face full of confusion. Hadn't they forbade her from reading them in the company anymore? She had already taken them home. Where was she going to find them right then?
Although she was at a loss, Lucy Wagner was, after all, Jepherson's secretary. She made a prompt decision to search through the secretary team and found a few rather informative magazines. Then she went downstairs to pick some fruits and snacks then sent them to his office.
Hearing the doorbell, Raeleigh answered the door. Jepherson had been busy since he came in, looking like he had a lot to deal with.
Seeing Raeleigh, Lucy smiled. "Here are the things Mr. Richards asked for."
Lucy left after Raeleigh took the things from her. Raeleigh then closed the door behind her and put them on his desk.
Just as she was about to walk away, Jepherson asked, "What's inside?"
Raeleigh opened it and told him one by one.
"Wash an apple."
It was a commanding tone. Since Raeleigh was idling, she did as told. To avoid Jepherson from giving her more work, she washed the rest of the fruits.
There was a beautiful crystal plate in the office. Raeleigh came out with a plate of fruit and gave one to Jepherson.
Jepherson looked up at Raeleigh. "Cut it into pieces."
Raeleigh cut it and brought it back to Jepherson, then took a toothpick.
Jepherson paused for a moment and asked Raeleigh, "Are you always so obedient?"
"It's only because you have your hands full!"
If he wasn't, she wouldn't serve him like he was a king.
Jepherson continued to work and said, "Feed me."
Raeleigh went around and fed Jepherson a piece of apple. Stumped, he stared at the apple Raeleigh fed him and opened his mouth, slowly eating it.
"I want another one." Jepherson finished his work and checked his wristwatch for the time. All he had left was the meeting.
Raeleigh asked, "Do you have something else to do?"
"It's time for the meeting; I'll finish it when I come back." Jepherson put an apple in his mouth and pressed the intercom. "Get ready for the meeting."
He took the plate of sliced apples and gave her a piece while he wolfed down the rest as he walked to the door, putting the plate down by the door before he left his office.
