Lazily Yours.

Gabi lazily sat on the chair until her back ached. It had been a tiresome day. The interviews didn't go as well as she expected, but at least she actually found someone who knows four different languages. That would do.

It seems that she actually set her requirements a little higher than what was normally required in some companies. The thing, she needed someone really capable to help her out.

After her dinner, Gabi started finalizing some tasks for her secretary before she slept.

On the next day, her new secretary, Kasper Lotterman started working inside the mansion.

"Work starts at nine in the morning, but I want you to be here before that. Bring me my coffee and cupcakes… I want it on the go. In case, I get hungry while on the road. You will be staying in one of the two-bedroom guest houses surrounding the mansion. Spencer will take you there soon. You will have your own entrance and just as you signed in the contract, you will have transportation, clothing, and vacation allowances. You will have to be on call and should be ready to work anytime." This was another reason why she had been very picky for this position. Someone with a family wouldn't be able to work under her, as she was planning to have her secretary to call.

"On top of this, you will be given hospitalization and death insurance. You should already know this since everything is included in the contract. However, I want to emphasize something." Gabi leaned against her chair. She observed the lanky man who was staring at her intently.

To her surprise, the man didn't avoid her gaze.

"I don't tolerate betrayal," Gabi uttered. "I really cannot handle betrayal well." Her face turned cold. "I don't know if I could spare anyone who would betray me."

As expected, surprised flashed in the man's face. She continued, "I am telling you this because you still haven't moved to the guest house. You still have a chance to say no and back out now."

"I understand." Kasper nodded at her words. "I will move at the end of the day."

"Good." At least this man isn't a coward.

"But before anything else, I want to know something."

"What is that?" she asked.

"I don't like women. Does that offend you?"

"Do you like men?" she asked. At least he was frank and honest about his sexuality. This is something that she liked.

"Yes. Is that going to be a problem shortly?"

Gabi shook her head. "Your sex life had nothing to do with me." She completely understood why Kasper would ask such a thing. Most people here only accept men and women. Nothing in between.

"Thank you. I wouldn't want my employer to kick me out again because of my … preference."

So someone kicked him out before. Gabi chose to ignore that sentence and handed him another folder and phone. "Work phone and my schedule for the entire month. From now on, you will take care of that."

"This is— "

"Ah… yes. My diet. I included what I wanted to eat in case I need you to book something or order something. I am watching my diet as I wanted to get healthier, so I don't want to eat too much junk and have more veggies and fruits." The file that Kasper was holding also includes all of her preferences. From the color of her clothing to brands of her bags and even jewelry and shoes. She did this because she didn't want to tell him her preferences every time he would ask him to buy something.

This time, Gabi was very thorough about everything.

"Understood."

"Alright… first thing is the upcoming dinner appointment with the Ren Family."

"Alright, I will schedule Val Tailors for the dress."

"You are a fast learner." And a fast reader too.

"Thank you very much for the compliment."

"Alright… please let me prepare for our appointment today. Prepare the car. We are going to Ren Aesthetics."

"Understood."

Gabi smiled while watching her new assistant leave. Today, she was scheduled to meet with Earl Ren, the current heir apparent of Ren Aesthetics. This man was a distant relative and had been working under her grandfather since he graduated. From the information that she has from her past life, Earl was a brilliant child. However, he can be a bit soft-hearted.

Though Earl stayed in the company despite knowing that it was about to go down, Gabi knew that Earl could be one of the reasons why the company became unstable. It was because the man was too trusting.

Smart but naive as they say.

When Alfons started getting close to the Ren Family, his first target was Earl, and the naive Earl immediately became Alfons' close friend. When their grandfather told Alfons that he would never like him, Earl tried to protect Alfons and got into an argument with her grandfather. Of course, Earl wasn't able to convince the old man to trust Alfons.

Still, Earl continued to see Alfons and even attended a few events with Alfons and Gabi's ex-husband in the past life.

This time, Gabi will help Earl become a bit stronger. She needed him to manage Ren Aesthetics and keep it safe from Alfons. But first, she needed to meet him.

Ah, when was the last time that she met that man?

She couldn't remember!

After choosing a refreshing blue sundress, Gabi left her office with a delicate smile on her face. However, the smile on her face immediately vanished when she saw Alfons walking towards her.

This time, he wasn't alone.

He was with Mr. Sealey, her ex-husband, in the previous timeline. Together with him was Mr. Knight, the man who applied to become his secretary but was hired to become a staff instead.

"Brother… what are you doing here?"

This man… is he going to stop bothering her?

"Sister, am I disturbing you?"

Yes, he was. But instead of telling the truth, she gave Alfons a gentle smile. "Of course not."

"I am here to invite you for a dinner with my close friends. I'm sure you already met Louise Knight, he is a senior. He told me you hired him, so I thought we should celebrate. Ah, also this is another friend. The second son of the Sealey family. Harry, Harry Sealey."
