My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1425

As much as Vanessa disapproved of Julien drinking coffee whenever he was tired, she couldn't change the habit. She made coffee for Julien very quickly and brought it to him.

When she brought the coffee to his office, Julien was still deep in discussion with a few smartly-dressed men and women. Vanessa snuck in to leave the coffee on his desk and turned to leave without disturbing them.

Just as she turned around, someone called out to her. "Vanessa?"

The voice that had called out to her was somewhat familiar. Vanessa looked back and saw that one of the people in discussion with Julien was her college classmate, Sinclair Stark. They had been quite close back in college.

Sinclair walked towards Vanessa and asked, "Vanessa, you're working in Rovio?"

Vanessa nodded and replied, "Yes, I've been here for sometime."

Sinclair continued, "How is it that I've never heard from Mr. Kyle about this?"

It was obvious that Sinclair and Julien weren't particularly close, so it was normal for Julien to not have mentioned this. Moreover, even if they were close, judging by Julien's indifferent temperament, it was unlikely that he would bring this up.

Besides, Vanessa felt that the ambiguous relationship between Julien and her was simply unspeakable. With Julien's arrogance, he would certainly not be willing to let the whole world know.

Before Vanessa could answer, Sinclair continued to ask, "Since you're here, you must be working in Rovio's headquarters. What's your current position? With your abilities, coupled with you and Julien's relationship, I would say..."

Sinclair may have known about Vanessa and Julien's past, but he didn't know their present situation. Since they weren't in an official meeting, and considering how he and Vanessa used to be good friends, Sinclair couldn't resist nosing more about it.

Vanessa knew that it was unintentional, but she still felt extremely embarrassed. She was very clear about where she stood, so she just put on a smile to cover up her embarrassment. "Well, yes, I do work here, but it's office hours now and I need to get going. I'll buy you a meal after work," she said.

Sinclair said, "Vanessa..."

Vanessa didn't even dare to look at Julien's expression and fled before he could say more.

When Vanessa was walking out of the office, she ran into Queenie, who smiled and greeted her, "Vanessa, I guess you were just bringing some coffee to Director Julien."

Vanessa nodded and turned to walk past Queenie.

Queenie blocked her way and said, "Vanessa, you're so lucky to be able to make coffee for Director Julien every day and enter his office at will. I don't think you even know that you're now the target of envy of all the unmarried women in the company. I heard through the grapevine yesterday that there are many people just waiting for Director Julien to get tired of you. However, with your beautiful appearance, I doubt he would ever get tired of you. I hope you'll take care of me in the future!"

Queenie's words sounded sarcastic no matter how you interpreted them, which made Vanessa feel uncomfortable. She replied bluntly, "Queenie, I guess you too are unaware of how popular you are in the company right now."

Once she was done with the preparations, it was almost time for the meeting. The first people to arrive at the conference room were some executives, followed by Julien and the representatives of the cooperating party.

Julien was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, which made him stand out especially, amongst the crowd of people in black suits. Vanessa couldn't help but give him a second glance.

"D*mn it, this man is so handsome every which way you look at him. Whether in work or in life, no matter how cold his face is, it doesn't affect his attractiveness in the least," Vanessa thought to herself.

While Vanessa was looking at Julien, his eyes also swept towards her. Vanessa did not dare to meet his eyes and quickly looked away but felt that he had stared at her for several seconds.

As Vanessa was in charge of the final review of the documents, she had to participate in the meeting right till the very end and take down the key points.

Throughout her year of working there, Vanessa had participated in a number of these meetings and was almost able to do it with her eyes closed. She knew what Julien wanted to do with just a small action or glance. It could be said that they worked very well together when it came to official matters, which was also another reason why Julien would bring her along on business trips most of the time.

No matter which documents Julien wanted, Vanessa could always hand it to him with no hesitation. Certain people at the meeting were impressed with Mr. Kyle's insight, but only Sinclair wasn't surprised.

In the past, everybody in their university knew that both of them are geniuses with high IQs and there were few who could keep pace with them.

Not only were they highly intelligent, they also had high standards. Anyone who partnered with them would suffer a lot and end up making a mess of things. However, when it was just the two of them working on anything, they had always had flawless cooperation.
