Unexpected Encounter with my Boss novel Chapter 11

Sitting at her desk, Tiffany stared at the computer screen. But her mind was in a mess. Thinking back, she still found what had happened just now unbelievable.

This was the first time in her life that someone had protected her the way Teresa would. It wasn't just that; the person who had protected her turned out to be the same man with whom she'd slept.

Yet, the person who had protected her was a man she had slept with before. She was touched.

She could hear Ivy sobbing nearby. She was surrounded by a few female colleagues, who were comforting her.

"Don't be sad, Ivy. It's ruining your makeup."

"That's right, Ivy. Mr. Lewis didn't actually say anything bad about you. You're the prettiest and most capable one among us. How would Mr. Lewis have the heart to scold you?"

Ivy looked up and saw Tiffany. She glared at Tiffany hard. "So what if I'm the prettiest and most capable one here? It would be no match for some cunning women anyway!"

Everyone turned to give Tiffany questioning looks. They were probably trying to guess what her relationship with Vincent was.

The door to the CEO's office opened. Vincent walked out of the office, followed by Alex.

With just a glance from Vincent, those who were gathered around Ivy instantly dispersed and went back to their desks.

Teary-eyed, Ivy stared at Vincent.

On top of being good-looking, she came from a decent family too. She was very popular in the office. Her teary eyes made her seem pitiful. She was confident that Vincent would certainly fall for her if he just looked at her.

But Vincent didn't even glance at her. Instead, his eyes fell on Tiffany, who was in the farthest corner.

"Tiffany." The moment VIncent called out to her, it attracted everyone's attention.

Tiffany stood up. Her honest and guileless demeanor made Vincent's heart ache.

He had never really paid attention to departmental affairs. But ever since the camping trip, it felt like something kept drawing him to Tiffany.

"Grab your laptop and follow me." After saying that, Vincent headed for the elevator.

Under everyone's gazes, Tiffany followed him with her head hung low.

After a moment, someone asked, "That Tiffany… Who exactly is she?"

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the office. Ivy had thrown her phone on the desk and ran off to cry in the restroom.

…

The Maybach glided down the road. Glancing at the man sitting beside her, Tiffany asked nervously, "Where are we going, Mr. Lewis?"

"To negotiate a business deal," Vincent replied casually as he looked down at his phone.

Vincent had dozens of assistants in the company, and most of them were exceptionally capable at their jobs.

Tiffany was just an intern. Even if he had just verbally appointed her as a permanent employee this morning, she was still a newbie at work.

All in all, she shouldn't be the one accompanying Vincent to attend a business meeting.

Vincent looked up from his phone. "At Lewis Group, we don't ignore talents nor do we skimp on training newbies."

"But I'm still a rookie…" Tiffany's voice was low. She was embarrassed.

"Are you not confident in your capabilities?" Vincent's eyes swept over the back of her left hand, which was red and swollen.

His voice was deep as he said slowly, "I'm the CEO of the company. You should trust my eye for talent."

The business meeting was held at an upscale cafe. When Vincent and Tiffany arrived, the business partner they were meeting had yet to arrive.

And so, the two entered the private room.

After the door was closed, Tiffany noticed that Alex was nowhere to be seen.

"Come here." Vincent had already sat down on the couch. He opened a kit on the table.

Tiffany walked over. She then realized that it was a small first-aid kit. Vincent must have asked someone to prepare it in advance.

Vincent took the disinfectant and some cotton swabs from the kit. "Give me your hand."
