The Substitute Bride

Autumn said angrily, "If I was not Mrs. Lu and didn't know Sam, then I wouldn't have been able to escape from Mr. Song that night, right?"

"Well......" Linda kept silent. "Of course, I would not let you go if you were not Mrs. Lu." Linda thought.

"Why are you silent? Don't you have your answer?" Autumn went on with a sneer, "I have nothing to talk with you, you vicious woman. I have a lot of work to do. Please move aside."

With a pile of documents in hand, Autumn stood up and walked out. She stepped inside Charles's office and knocked the door.

"Come in." Charles's voice came from inside. Picking up the signed papers, David turned to Charles and said, "Mr. Lu, I'll be right outside."

"Okay. Go ahead." Charles put the pen cap back and asked Autumn standing in front of him, "What brings you here?"

"I have something to talk to you about." Sensing her seriousness, Charles nodded. He made her sit down beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Autumn hesitated for a second and then continued, "Charles, you asked me to work here because you want me to help you. But after working here the whole day, I can't do anything else for you. So after giving it a lot of thought, I have decided to resign. And I hope that you can agree with me."

"Resign? But why?" Charles was shocked by her words. He thought that she came here to talk about Linda and he was even prepared to comfort her. "Can you tell me your reason? Are you not satisfied with your salary?"

"No. I have said this earlier also that I am not fit to work here." Her work was simple, but things were more complicated than she expected. It was not easy to be his secretary at all.

Take Linda for example. Though she was not of good moral standing, she was a capable secretary. She was good at closing contracts and she also knew how to cope with business engagements.

But things were different for Autumn. What were her capabilities?

"Charles, I know you asked me to work here for my own good, but I have taken careful consideration. It is not a good idea for me to work here. I am not used to this job. And I am sure you also know that I can't handle it. So aft

tending her appreciation. She dared not to cook up any evil ideas anymore.

After Linda left, Autumn began to look for some good candidates for the position of Charles's secretary on a professional job-hunting website of Y City. Unexpectedly, Autumn happened to find Leila's resume.

She hesitated for a while, but finally made a call to Leila. When the phone got through, it was Leila's voice on the other side. She cheerfully said, "Ye, I didn't expect that you would call me."

"I......" Autumn was a little indecisive but then said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time. How are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Leila became upset. "I am not fine recently. I am hunting for a job at the job market."

"Looking for a job? Why?"

"It is because of this annoying woman, Paula. She always gives me a hard nut to crack. I am so angry but I gathered the courage to submit my letter of resignation. Well, Ye, how are you doing now? Did you find a new job?" Leila asked.

"I......" Autumn smiled and then replied, "I also don't have a job yet."

It was the current situation now, since she had just resigned so was also a hobo.

"Well, I will invite you for a dinner after I get a job. But I have to hang up now, because I got to continue looking for a job."

Leila was about to hang up but Autumn stopped her, "Wait for a second. Leila, I can offer a job to you, but I am not sure if you would be interested in it."
