Bee watched Mary drive down the hill and out the front door before she turned and headed for the house.
As soon as she entered the glass door she saw the maid who had disgusted herself and was talking to Crystal about something that had amused Crystal.
Bee had thought about going upstairs to do her homework,she had been so busy the past two days that she hadn't actually had time to write it yet,she had just lied to Mary.
"Eh,Ms.Bee,are you going upstairs?"The maid called out to Bee,looking at Bee with a smug expression.
It's as if Bee went upstairs because she couldn't fit into their conversation and purposely avoided it.
Bee rolled her eyes in her mind,"I'm going upstairs to do my homework,you guys keep talking."
The maid was about to say something else when Crystal suddenly jumped up and ran over to pull Bee,"Go go go,I'll go upstairs with you."
Bee walked up the steps with her arm half-holding her,turning around to see the maid's defeated expression,she didn't hold back a smile.
"What are you laughing at?"Crystal asked her curiously.
Bee shook her head,"Nothing,by the way,what was the maid's name just now?"
Bee had forgotten to ask the maid her name to her face.
"Her name is Oliver,she's been in our family for almost three years."
Bee nodded and was pushed into the bedroom by her.
Once Crystal was in her bedroom,she sat her ass down on the lazy boy couch in front of the window,"Don't bother hitting on me,I just don't want to talk to her."
Bee just sat down and turned on her computer,surprised,"Huh?You don't want to talk to her?I see you two chatting quite happily."
Crystal looked sideways at Bee,"She's good at her job,but sometimes she talks too much.And I'm too embarrassed to act rude.Now that I have you in the house,I have a reason to run away."
Bee snickers,leans back,and starts her homework.
Early Monday morning,Bee woke up to her own alarm clock,changed into her workout clothes,and headed downstairs and into the gym.
As soon as she opened the door to the gym,she saw Jacob already inside,his bare upper body,covered in sweat.
Bee stood awkwardly in the doorway,neither in nor out.
Jacob saw her standing there dumbfounded,and asked in a low voice,"Why don't you come in?"
Bee smiles,closes the door,and walks over to the strength area,ready to get her dumbbells and do some exercises.
Just as Bee walked past Jacob,she keenly saw a flash of a mark on his back,much like a tattoo.It looked familiar,but couldn't recall exactly what it was for a moment.
"I was socializing too late yesterday and guessed you'd be asleep by then so I didn't have you sign the agreement,"Jacob took a sip of his water,"Did you have much class today?If not much,come by my office and we'll sign it with the lawyer."
Bee thought about it,"I don't have classes this afternoon,so I'll see you this afternoon."
"Just go to the bar?"
Jacob paused to sip his water,"No,that's just a random industry I play in,I only go over there when I want a break."
"Oh."
"You're not surprised?"
"What's there to be surprised about?"Bee lifted a dumbbell and did a deep squat;her own family ran a business,and her cousins had cousins who did that,so there was nothing to be surprised about.
After having a good meal at school at noon,Bee checked the address Jacob had given himself which wasn't very close,and was really too lazy to check the public transportation,so she directly called an uber.
When the car slowly approached the building,Bee had a slight understanding of why Jacob asked himself if he was surprised this morning.
When she walked into the building,she understood even more when she saw that an entire building belonged to the Green Group.
This Jacob's family business is really not small.
Bee tried to talk to the receptionist a few times,but she ignored the lady,and looked down at her clothes,was she dressed shabbily?Let her so do not want to get along with their own?
"Miss,I'm looking for Jacob."
The receptionist put down the pen in her hand,stood up,and looked at Bee from head to toe,"Which Jacob?"
"Jacob Green."
The receptionist raised an eyebrow,"Who?"
"Jacob Green,"Bee repeated again calmly.
The receptionist bristled in disdain,every day these women who didn't know who they were came to pretend to be familiar with the boss.
"Do you have an appointment?"
Bee ignored her blank stare,"Should.No."
"There's no way I can contact you without an appointment,our president is very busy and doesn't have time for people he doesn't know."
Bee didn't want to start a fight with her,but since she couldn't help herself,she'd have to contact Jacob herself,even though she didn't really want to call him.
Bee retreated to the side,took out her cell phone,and with a disgusted face,she found her husband's phone number that Jacob had saved and called it.
"Hey,I'm on the first floor,how do I get up there?Oh,okay."After hanging up the phone,she saw the receptionist looking at her with a disbelieving expression.
Bee looked around,thinking that maybe he was busy and there was no way he could come pick himself up so soon,so why don't she find herself a place to sit for a while and play with her phone for a while.
It just so happened that there was a cafe in one of the corners on the first floor,so she could sit there for a while.
Bee hadn't even gotten to the counter of the cafe yet,when she heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind her,and suddenly a hand tapped her on the shoulder.
"Excuse me,are you Ms.Bee?"
Bee was startled by the slap,stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at him.
A very handsome man,a typical American man.
"It's me.Who are you?"
"I'm Jacob's personal assistant,Leo,"Leo made a please gesture towards her,"Jacob asked me to come down and get you upstairs,he's in a meeting and can't come down to get you."
Bee raised an eyebrow in surprise,really?I'm that important?
"Ah,I thought you guys were busy and it would be a while before you could pick me up,so I just came by to try and get a cup of coffee."
Bee looked at Leo who had been breathing heavily,presumably having just run over.
"Do you drink it?I'll get you a cup too?"
Leo didn't dare to rush Bee,after all,the fact that the boss let himself personally come down to pick her up meant that her status shouldn't be too low.
"I don't drink."
Bee kindly bought a cup for Jacob as well,taking two cups of coffee and following Leo towards the elevator room.
The receptionist's eyes dropped in surprise as Leo led Bee directly onto the president's exclusive elevator,and she couldn't close her mouth in shock.
Bee looked at the elevator curiously,the numbers on the elevator,all the way from1to30.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator,Bee saw a few employees on the floor-to-ceiling glass side of the building,all busy with their keyboards.Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a whole floor of offices.
From the elevator she could see the skyscrapers and the blue sky.
Leo led Bee around the corner to a side door,pushed the door and invited her to walk in,looked at his watch,"Jacob's meeting won't be over for another hour,he said you can just wait for her in the office."
Taking a remote from the side,"This remote controls the two floor-to-ceiling windows,if you don't want to see us,press this button,"he said and pressed it,the floor-to-ceiling windows instantly turned gray and opaque,"That'll do it."
Bee took the remote obediently,"Okay."
Leo went out and came back in not a moment later,holding a lot of takeout boxes,milk tea,snacks,and even fried chicken.
This Jacob still likes to eat these?Stocking up at all times?
Leo saw her expression and explained,"This is what our president specially ordered for you."
Bee nodded,smiled,and said,"Thank you."
Leo put the food and drink,and left the office.The employees outside look busy,but still intentionally or unintentionally observe Bee in the office.
Bee actually know that they look at themselves,but there is nothing they can not look at,in the future,once the agreement is signed,there will certainly be a public time,sooner or later will have to face these gazes.
A few cups of milk tea in the pick,picked a cup of their favorite black sugar Bobo,inserted the habit of drinking up,and eat a lot of snacks.
She felt a bit of support,so she stood up,walked around the office,while walking and look at the outside scenery,is really good.
Sitting on the floor next to the bed,took out her cell phone and Google searched Green Group to see what they actually do.
Green Group,a large U.S.real estate and entertainment group,set of real estate construction,luxury home buying and selling,hotel chain operation,entertainment facilities operation and other multi-dimensional industries.
She also curiously searched China is there any real estate is under the company,the results jumped out the first photo,is her uncle's ribbon-cutting photos,scared her immediately turned off the phone.
How could it be so coincidental that it was an industry that her uncle dabbled in,wouldn't that mean that when the announcement was made,everyone in the family would know what she had done in the United States?
Just as she was thinking about it,she saw from the reflection of the glass that a figure had opened the office door.She turned around and saw the figure of Jacob walking in while explaining his work to his subordinates.
The men also saw Bee sitting on the floor by the window and stopped in their tracks in surprise.
Jacob came over with a frown and reached out to help Bee stand up,"Isn't the floor cold?"
Bee shook her head,"It's okay."
She looked sideways at the others behind Jacob,reaching out and touching Jacob's arm,"They're still back there."
Jacob naturally pulled Bee to sit on a couch off to the side and walked back to the others,continuing to give an expressionless account of his work.
Bee suffered their scrutiny graciously and smiled at them.
When Jacob finished,he left the men to their work and walked over to the couch,sitting down next to Bee.Tugging on the mouth of his tie,he stretched his arms back and leaned against the couch behind Bee.
"You don't like these milk teas?"Jacob asked,looking at the unopened milk teas.
"There's too much for me to drink,next time don't be so wasteful."After saying that,he suddenly thought of something and stood up with the milk tea,but then thought of something else and stopped,"Do they drink milk tea?"
She pointed to the secretaries outside.
Jacob looked out sideways as well,"I'm not sure,I'm not interested in knowing what my secretaries like to drink."
