Chapter 342 Accompanying the Boss
At this moment, in Sloane's office at the Robinson Group, Sloane looked at the message Jane had sent her. She pressed the intercom, "Mr. Hensley, go downstairs and bring Ms. Robinson up."
Stefan acknowledged and hung up the phone, taking the direct elevator downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the building, the first person he saw was Seraphina.
Seraphina seemed to be having an argument with someone.
And that someone was none other than Jane Robinson, the socialite from the Robinson Group.
Stefan quickened his pace slightly. He walked over, first glancing at Seraphina to make sure she was okay, then looked at Jane with a warm smile, "Ms. Robinson, what happened? Chairwoman Johnson asked me to come get you."
Hearing Stefan's words, Jane's expression softened a bit. Jane said impatiently, "This woman knocked over the dress and shoes I prepared for Sloane. You're just in time - deal with this and make her pay for it."
It was really beneath Jane to be arguing with this fat woman Seraphina here.
Stefan smiled faintly, "Ms. Robinson, Chairwoman Johnson is waiting for you. You can go up first, and I'll handle this matter."
Jane gave Seraphina a cold look, then walked proudly into the Robinson Group building, while Autumn quickly picked up the dress and shoes from the ground and followed.
After Jane and her assistant left, Stefan turned to look at Seraphina and smiled, "Dione, what happened?"
Seraphina snorted coldly, "Ms. Robinson's assistant bumped into me herself, knocked over the box, and tried to blame me. I've never seen anyone so shameless."
Stefan raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Leave this to me. I won't let you be wronged. Go wait for me at the coffee shop for a bit."
Seraphina was very satisfied with Stefan's response. Her previously cold expression broke into a smile, "Okay."
Seraphina went to the coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and sat down by the window.
Thinking about the disgusted look Jane had given her earlier, Seraphina wanted to roll her eyes.
Yes, she was fat, but her brain worked just fine, and she was happy!
At this moment, in Sloane's office.
When Sloane saw Jane walk into the office, she stopped her work and smiled warmly, "Jane, thank you."
Jane walked over and sat on the sofa, raising her eyebrows with a smile, "Sloane, don't worry, I'll make sure you look beautiful at tonight's party."
Sloane was attending a birthday party at the Nightingale family tonight. She had already arranged for a makeup team, but Jane had said she wanted to design her look.
Sloane nodded with a smile, "Jane, I trust your taste completely. I'm really looking forward to your design."
A flash of confidence crossed Jane's eyes, "Leave it to me then, Sloane. You'll definitely be the most dazzling person at tonight's party."
Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Stefan walked in, "Chairwoman Johnson, Ms. Robinson, I've handled what happened downstairs."
Sloane asked with confusion, "What happened?"
Jane said with a cold laugh and disgust, "We ran into a woman who bumped into Autumn and knocked over the dress and shoes Sloane was going to wear tonight. I asked her to apologize and compensate, but she actually tried to deny it."
The smile on Stefan's face faded.
Sloane looked at Stefan, "How did you handle it? Just having her apologize is enough, no need for compensation."
Stefan opened a video on his tablet and handed it to Jane with both hands, "Ms. Robinson, there are security cameras at the company entrance. This is the surveillance footage I just pulled up."
Jane glanced at Stefan and smiled with satisfaction, "Is it a video of her apologizing? You could have just recorded it on your phone."
She clicked on the video.
Sloane also turned to watch.
Autumn stood nervously to the side, biting her lip.
Stefan turned his head and gave Autumn a faint smile.
After watching the video, Jane looked up at Autumn angrily, "Get out. You can leave now, and you don't need to work in the design industry anymore."
How dare she deceive her!
The video clearly showed that Autumn, carrying the box, had bumped into the other person.
Hearing that she couldn't continue in the design industry, Autumn's face immediately turned very ugly, "I'm sorry, I..."
Jane, being such a proud person, wouldn't listen to a deceiver's excuses, "Get out!"
Seeing Jane's anger, Autumn didn't dare stay any longer and quickly left.
Jane snorted coldly and threw the tablet on the table with disgust, "So fat and still standing in the way, she deserved to be bumped into."
Stefan: Very speechless. How could there be someone like Jane?
Sloane checked the time and changed the subject, "Jane, let's start with the makeup."
"Okay," Jane nodded. She slightly raised her chin toward Stefan, "Sloane, who is he?"
Sloane introduced him with a light smile, "My new special assistant, Mr. Hensley."
Seeing that he wasn't needed anymore, Stefan left the office.
He returned to his desk and quickly handled his work.
When it was time to get off work, he had finished his tasks and called his boss first.
Sloane was getting her makeup done in the office, so he couldn't go in and had to call instead.
When the call connected, Sloane's voice came through, "Mr. Hensley, what is it?"
Stefan said respectfully, "Chairwoman Johnson, if there are no other arrangements, I'll be leaving work now."
Sloane said gently, "Mr. Hensley, come with me to the Nightingale family party tonight."
This wasn't a question, but a statement.
She had just received a message from her husband Tommy saying he couldn't accompany her to the Nightingale family party tonight.
Sloane could only ask Stefan to attend.
As a special assistant earning a high salary, occasionally accompanying the boss to parties was necessary.
Stefan frowned. As a new employee who hadn't been working long, if Sloane asked him to accompany her to a party, he'd better not refuse, or it would show a bad work attitude.
He thought of Seraphina, who was still waiting for him at the coffee shop, and didn't immediately answer Sloane.
Perhaps guessing that Stefan might have plans, Sloane said with a hint of apology, "Mr. Hensley, I'm sorry. If you have something to do, you don't need to come with me."
Stefan sighed inwardly and replied, "I don't have appropriate clothes for the party."
Sloane chuckled softly, "Don't worry about the clothes."
The two hung up.
Stefan helplessly went downstairs to the coffee shop next to the company.
"Stefan, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Seeing Stefan approach, Seraphina put down her phone and asked after he sat down.
Stefan sat down, his voice carrying a hint of apology, "Dione, I can't have dinner with you tonight. Chairwoman Johnson suddenly asked me to accompany her to the Nightingale family party. It came up unexpectedly, I'm sorry."
Seraphina felt a bit disappointed, but she understood that being a special assistant meant accommodating the boss's work, "I understand. We can make plans another time."
Stefan held Seraphina's hand and said warmly, "I'm really sorry."
A couple sitting at the next table happened to see Stefan holding Seraphina's hand.
The woman was a bit shocked.
Oh my god, Stefan was so handsome, how could he have such a fat woman as his girlfriend?
She instantly looked at her own plain-looking boyfriend sitting across from her.
She had actually lost to a fat woman.
Seraphina, with her hand held by Stefan, felt embarrassed and wanted to pull it back, but Stefan just kept holding it, "Alright then, you go do your work. I should head home too."
The two held hands and walked out of the coffee shop, ignoring the stares from everyone inside.
Seraphina quietly joked about herself, "Other people have beauty and the beast, I have handsome man and the beast."
Stefan didn't like hearing Seraphina put herself down like that. His eyes smiled, "In my eyes, you're beautiful."
Seraphina was instantly at a loss for words. She had suspected many times that Stefan's aesthetic sense was quite different from others.
Anyway, she was the one benefiting.
Stefan called a taxi. After helping Seraphina into the car, he turned and walked back to the company.
When Elizabeth and Timothy were eating, because Seraphina wasn't home, nothing tasted good.
Brandon was eating quite well though. He was already on his second small bowl of rice.
He had gone to kindergarten today and played hard, so naturally he could eat two bowls of rice at night.
Timothy couldn't stand seeing Brandon eat so well. He showed fatherly love by putting celery in Brandon's bowl, "Brandon, eat more vegetables."
Brandon looked at the celery he hated most in his small bowl and felt like crying, "I'm already full."
Elizabeth said, "In our house, we can't waste food in our bowls."
Just then, Seraphina came home and changed her shoes, "Dad, Mom, I'm home."
Elizabeth heard Seraphina's voice and quickly put down her utensils, stood up and walked out of the dining room. She asked with confusion, "The date ended so quickly?"
Seraphina waved her hand, "Didn't work out. Stefan has to accompany his boss to the Nightingale family party."
