Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1023

"I don't care what you had to do, it's irresponsible of you to leave your post during working hours." Jordan cut me off.

I did not want to explain further and quickly apologized.

One must hold back one's feelings in front of one's boss no matter how aggrieved one felt. Never argue with one's boss and tell them that they were wrong.

I still knew the rules of the workplace very well. When Jordan was done reproaching me, he started punishing me. "You’re considered absent from work today."

I was just one hour late and he wanted to consider me absent from work? That was a tad too harsh, no?

He was the boss, after all, so I could only endure it even though I was dissatisfied.

After leaving Jordan's office, I received a call from Shannon. Clearly, this lady had enough rest and was now refreshed.

"Do you have anything going on tonight? Let's have a meal together if you don't."

I thought about it and said dejectedly, "I really want to go, but I may have things to do tonight."

Jordan needed me to be on-call 24 hours a day. He might suddenly ask me to do something else.

"Huh?" She was really bummed out. "What do you plan to do? I've already invited Nina and the rest to have dinner together. After that, we’ll go to a bar to have a good time. We just escaped death, so what could be more important than being alive? Just stop giving excuses, will you? You have to be there for dinner tonight, okay?"

I helplessly sighed. "I'm not giving excuses, Shannon. I really can’t go. I'm working in Jordan's company right now as his secretary and need to be on-call 24 hours a day. Do you think I can leave?"

Shannon exclaimed, "On-call 24 hours a day? Are you supposed to take care of his daily mundane tasks like eating and sleeping?"

"Now that I think about it, that’s probably the case."

I was the one preparing all three of his meals a day. It was more or less something like that.
