Chapter 771

Minerva's face was red when she returned to the secretary's office.

Linda noticed her flushed face. She wondered why Minerva was blushing, but when she recalledthat she had just come back from Sebastian's office, Linda realized that... maybe something reallywas up.

Linda held her chin with one hand as she started to feel a little distressed.

She seemed to have discovered some secrets by accident.

Then, was she going to treat Minerva as her assistant? Or did she need to give Minerva some easyjobs?

Alas, Linda didn't know how she managed to hire Minerva to be her assistant.

Minerva ate her dinner at the cafeteria. When she was about to get off work, she suddenly receivedthe news that she was going to work overtime. Thus, she gave up on the idea of buying vegetablesat the supermarket to cook by herself and went straight to the cafeteria.

Of course, Lolita accompanied her to the cafeteria.

Lolita could not help complaining, "We've just been here for a few days and suddenly we're going towork overtime. It's terrible."

Minerva didn't care. "It's a big company. It's like this."

Lolita bit her lower lip and poked the potato in the bowl. "Is it going to be like this everyday? In fact...

I don't really want to work overtime. My way home is dark."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but glance at her. "Your way home is very dark? Are yourenting an apartment? There should be street lamps."novelbin

"Ah, that..." Lolita's face was a little embarrassed and she did not continue.

Minerva knew that she didn't want to say anything more so she didn't ask her anymore. The two ofthem ate their dinner quietly and returned to their respective departments to work.

Minerva was not tired of working overtime in the past. She felt that she was young and it was betterto work more.

However, now that she was pregnant, she felt that working overtime was tiring, but she was tooembarrassed to ask for a leave during her internship. She could only stay and suffer with everyoneelse.

Fortunately, she only worked overtime until 10 o'clock that evening, not until 11 or 12 o'clock.Otherwise, she wouldn't know when she would be able to arrive home.

In the end, she felt that her calves had begun to tremble. She sat down to rest.

Linda looked at her and sighed, "It's like this during the internship. That's why I needed an assistant.There are too many things to deal with. You should rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest."

"There's no need forthat, Linda. I'll do it myself."

Minerva was too embarrassed to sit by herself while Linda had to deliver the documents. However,Linda had already snatched the documents in her hand and left the secretary's office.

"Sit down, read the documents, and wait for me to come back."

Minerva had no choice but to sit down and massage her sore calves. Suddenly, her stomachgrowled twice. Minerva was shocked then she lowered her head and caressed her stomachhelplessly. She said in a low voice, "Are you hungry? I'll make you supper when we go back later."

There was a baby in her stomach.

During pregnancy, it was easy for her to get hungry.

She planned to order some delivery when she got back.

In the middle of the night, Maddox ordered two cups of coffee. Minerva wanted to deliver them inperson but was stopped by Linda who said that Mr. Sebastian didn't want to see her.

Minerva was speechless.

Had she done anything wrong?

He was the one who came up to wipe the milk stain with his fingers during the day. What did thathave to do with her?

She felt wronged.

Finally, it was time to get off work. She dragged her tired body as she walked into the elevator.Linda followed behind her and entered the elevator. She then pressed the button.

"You haven't worked overtime before, have you? You looked tired."

Minerva could barely hold up her eyelids as she smiled. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'mjust a little tired. I'll go back and rest at night. I'll be full of energy tomorrow."

After listening to her words, Linda laughed and said, "Yes, young people are energetic. By the way,where do you live? It's not safe to go back at night.

I have a car. I can give you a ride."

Minerva didn't dare to bother her. She just shook her head.

"There's no need, Linda. I live very close to the company. It's not a problem for me to walk back."

They were not familiar with each other after all. Since she had rejected her offer, Linda did not askher anymore. As soon as they left the company, they parted ways.

Minerva was so hungry that she wanted to take the subway. However, when she thought that thereseemed to be a supermarket nearby, she should go there to buy some things first.

Therefore, she walked to the nearest supermarket. She bought some food in the food area on thesecond floor then went back. When she walked past the entrance of the company, a car followedher.

When the window was rolled down, a familiar face was revealed.

"Huh? Isn't that Sebastian's assistant?"

Geoffrey wanted to have supper with Sebastian when he heard that Sebastian was workingovertime. Who knew that the b*stard wouldn't even give him a look before leaving. Geoffrey felt veryuncomfortable, yet he didn't even have the chance to have his revenge.

A few days ago, Maddox had complained in front of Geoffrey's grandpa. It caused Geoffrey to suffera lot.

He was looking for a chance to have his revenge. Now that he saw Minerva, a plan suddenlyformed in his mind.

When she saw Geoffrey, she recognized that he was the man she met in the elevator especially forthe president that day. At that time... He seemed to have flirted with Lolita.

Then, he even went to Maddox's office and happened to run into an awkward scene.

Her expression was a little awkward when she saw him. Hence, she nodded towards him andcontinued to walk forward.

Geoffrey had thought that she would stop and greet him or say something, but she just nodded athim and left immediately.

This cold and indifferent look was beyond his expectation so he stopped her.

"Hey, why are you so late? Have you just finished working overtime?"

She did not expect him to catch up with her. Minerva was extremely embarrassed but she stillmaintained her manners.

"Yes, I just finished my work and was about to go home."

This meant, 'you don't need to follow me anymore'.

"It's too late. It's not safe for girls to go home alone. Why don't I drive you home?" Geoffrey askedwith a smile.

Drive her home? Looking at his cheeky expression, Minerva did not dare to let him drive her home.

"There's no need for that. Thank you. My home is very close. I'll be there soon."

How could he not understand the rejection in her words? He also knew that this woman in front ofhim had a relationship with Sebastian. How could Sebastian's woman like him?

He was a little proud and arrogant. In addition to what he had suffered from the old man in hisfamily, he wanted to take revenge on Maddox.

Geoffrey thought to himself, what if he took this woman away? Then he wouldn't have to worry thatSebastian wouldn't come out.

As he thought of this, Geoffrey said directly, "If you don't want to ride with me, I'm sure you must behungry after working until so late. How about I treat you to supper?"

She said patiently, "Thank you, I'm not hungry." "Are you really not hungry? Sebastian will be thereas well." Geoffrey smiled as he tried to tempt her.

Minerva paused for a while. Maddox would be there too?

He would be having supper with Geoffrey? Then, if she went there...
