Chapter 233
The receptionists were taken aback. They hadn’t expected Shirley to actually summon Mr. Gaston, let alone do so in such an
arrogant tone.
They exchanged nervous glances, and one of them nudged the one who had been leading the harassment. “Wait, is she also a Jones? Could she be related to Mr. Bennett’s fiancée?”
Their expressions darkened because if that were true, they might be fired.
Claude watched Shirley’s arrogant smile with a frown, then said in a businesslike tone. Tm sorry, but as a secretary, I don’t have the authority to determine employee status.”
Shirley was upset by Claude. However, she remembered how he had always acted this way when she worked for him, so she didn’t mind it.
“Well then, I’ll just speak directly with Mr. Bennett,” Shirley shot back
Claude remained unfazed. “Mr. Bennett is currently in a meeting, Ms. Jones. He wants you to go to the HR department first for your onboarding procedures and begin your work soon.”
Shirley felt happy at the thought of starting her new role right away. It seemed Jonathan was looking forward to her arrival. “Alright, I’ll head to the HR department then,” she said, shooting a glare at the receptionists as she left. Just wait and see”
The receptionists exchanged anxious glances
Once inside the elevator, Claude said, “Mr. Bennett has created a new department just for you. It’s called the services department, and you’ll be the team leader.”
Shirley’s eyes widened with excitement. She thought, Does Jonathan value me this much? The name “services department” sounds impressive.
She knew that many members of service teams tended to have an affair with upper management. She thought, “Is that a signal? Actually, Jonathan doesn’t need to hint at me, I know he wants to be closer
She could hardly wait to see Jonathan.
Claude led her to the HR department and then stepped away. Bryan Gomez, the HR manager greeted her warmly with a pile
of documents,
“You’ve been selected by Mr. Bennett as the team leader, Ms. Jones. Here are your employment contract and some terms. and conditions. Please review them carefully. If everything looks good, just sign them, and you can start immediately,” said
- he.
Shirley glanced at the pile of documents on the desk and signed without a second thought.
As she signed, Bryan kindly reminded her, “Ms. Jones, you may want to take a moment to review the terms and your salary.”
Shirley didn’t hesitate at all. She wasn’t here for the paycheck. She was confident that Jonathan, who valued her so much, wouldn’t shortchange her. All she could think about was getting to work with him.
After Signing, Shirley asked, “Should I head to the CEO’s office of the conference room?”
Bryan smiled and said “Actually, Ms. Jones, you’ll be going to the lounge to change into your uniform.”
Shirley was surprised. She thought, ‘A uniform? It must be one of those stylish, high–end office outfits. It turns out that Jonathan doesn’t seem as decent as he appears. I didn’t expect him to be a fan of roleplay.

Bryan led her to a room, but when the door opened, it turned out to be a storage closet. It was crammed with various clutter and hadn’t been cleaned in ages, dust layering everything.
Shirley frowned in disappointment. “Why is this place so small”
When Shirley saw the uniform laid out on the table, however, her expression instantly stiffened. “Are you kidding me. Mr. Gomez? What is this uniform? It looks like something a janitor would wear!” said she.
Bryan maintained his cheerful demeanor, still smiling “Your position is indeed a janitor, Ms. Jones”
“Tut I’m supposed to be in the services department” said Shirley
Bryan said, “Exactly. Your position is dual. The services you are to provide include cleaning and greeting visitors. You need to stand at the entrance of the BJ Building, greeting visitors. Every time someone enters, you’ll need to bow deeply and welcome him.
“Of course, you’ll welcome visitors in the morning and do clearing in the afternoon. Your main responsibility will be cleaning the restrooms. Since our building is large and has many restrooms, your duties can be quite demanding. You might even need to work late..
Shirley was speechless, unable to process what she was hearing This can’t be true. Absolutely not! I came here to be Jonathan’s recretary, and now you want me to clean todets, huh?
Shirley’s face turned red from anger. In a fit of rage, she hurled the clothes from the desk onto the floor. However, then thought struck her
It must be Cynthia. She’s the one who set this up, isn’t she? Im going to kill that bitch! I need to see Jonathan. He wouldhat treat me like this” said she.
Determined, Shirley charged for the door, but Bryan stepped in her way, trully dropping the cheerful facade. “Mr. Bennett doesn’t want to see you, Ms–Jones This is all his decision
Shirley refused to believe it. She pushed past him and rushed out taking the elevator straight to the CEO’s office.
She intended to storm in but bumped into Claude instead. “Where’s Jonathan I need to see him?
Claude replied in a formal tone. “Mr. Bennett is not in his offic
Right, Jonathan isn’t in the office. He’s in a meeting Shirley thought. She sprinted toward the large conference room where he often held meetings
Shirley was so consumed by anger that she rushed to the conference room, burst through the door, and stormed inside
The room was filled with people Almost all the department head were present, and the meeting was being streamed live Any employee who logged onto the company webuite could see li
However, Shirley didn’t care. She ran straight to Jonathan and exclaimed. “They’re all bullying me, Jonathan“”
Everyone in the room looked at Shirley with confusion Jonathan frowned at her outburs
Claude hurried in after her with a rare look of panic on his face, I’m sorry. Mr. Bennett. I couldn’t stop her”
Jonathan’s expression darkened. “What are you doing here, Shirley?
Still venting her frustrations, Shirley continued. “They’re all picking on me. I came here to be your secretary, but they’re nuking me stand at the entrance to greet visitors in the morning and clean the office in the afternoon“”
Shirley didn’t mention the word “restroom because she felt awkward. With a look of pure grievance, she said, “You use to fire them. They’re disrespecting you by picking on me”

Jonathan stared at Shirley indifferently. “Are you really this foolish, or are you just pretending, Shirley?”
“What do you mean, Jonathan?” Shirley instantly wore a hurt expression.
“You know exactly what I mean. Jonathan’s tone was sharp, and his patience was clearly wearing thin. “Get out!”
He turned to Claude. “If I see her again, you can go to the HR department for
salary cut and demotion, Claude.”
Claude nodded obediently. “Understood, Mr. Bennett. He then stepped in front of Shirley. “Please leave immediately. Ms. Jones,”
Only then did Shirley finally figure out what was going on.
