My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1426

However, not long after the meeting had started, Julien and Vanessa noticed an obvious error in a section of the documents before anyone else did.

Vanessa looked at Julien, and their eyes met, but his gaze was too profound and complicated for her to understand what he wanted to express.

She opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She was the last person to review this document. No matter what went wrong before, as long as she did not notice the mistake, it must be her fault.

At this moment, Julien' s assistant, Ethan Nelson, who was also in the meeting, noticed the mistake and whispered into Julien's ear. After getting Julien's consent, he said to everybody present, "I'm sorry, everyone. There is a mistake in the document. Please give us a few minutes and I'll send the correct one over right away."

Before leaving the room, Ethan shot Vanessa a look and she hurried after him. When they exited the conference room, Ethan asked seriously, "Vanessa, it's not your first day reviewing documents. How could you make such an elementary mistake?"

Vanessa had carefully reviewed the information in the morning, and she also paid special attention to this section of the data. She remembered very clearly that there was no mistake at the time. How could there be mistakes after printing them out?

Where had it gone wrong?

Could it be that someone had edited her document?

It was possible that someone didn't like her and edited her document, but there were too many people in the office. If someone touched her computer, others would have seen it. It would have been very risky. Who would take such a big risk to hurt her?

Vanessa had a few people in mind, but before finding out the truth, she could not make any accusations. She could only nod and apologize to Ethan. "Ethan, it was my negligence. I will take full responsibility for this matter."

Ethan said while walking, "Can you take responsibility for such a serious matter? Even though you have a special relationship with Director Julien, do you think he'd spare you on matters related to Rovio?"

Vanessa knew how serious this matter was. At a business meeting between the president of Rovio and its partners, there were mistakes in the documents prepared by his staff. If word got out, it would surely impact Rovio. Besides, Vanessa could not afford to waste these people's time.

Vanessa had no way to explain it, nor could she bear the responsibility. She could only admit her mistakes first. "Ethan, it's truly my negligence that caused the error in the documents. No matter what the company's decision is, I’ll accept it."

"Vanessa, this matter has to be kept under wraps for now. We'll see what’s Director Julien's decision after the meeting." Ethan had been working for Julien for a long time. Although he was mainly responsible for official Rovio business, Ethan was also aware of Julien and Vanessa's relationship.

Vanessa may have a special relationship with Julien, but she was very good at keeping her work and private affairs separate. She would never neglect her work by relying on her relationship with Julien. On the contrary, her performance in the past year was good compared to other secretaries.

It was because he knew what Vanessa was capable of as well as her serious attitude towards work that he was willing to defend her when something happened even before Julien had given any instructions.

"Ethan, thank you!" Although there were scheming women like Queenie in the company, there were also people like Joel and Ethan who treated Vanessa well.

Vanessa was worried about what had just happened and was not in the mood to have lunch with Sinclair. Moreover, it was impossible to invite Julien along. "Sinclair, are you back here for good?"

Sinclair nodded. "Yes, I came back to learn from my dad. This time, I came here to gain some experience with my seniors. I didn't expect to meet you and Julien here. In fact, I didn't expect Julien to be the new president of Rovio."

Vanessa smiled and deliberately ignored the topic of Julien. "Sinclair, since you're back for good, we can meet up for meals at any time in the future. I have a lot of things to do today, so let's meet another day."

Sinclair patted Vanessa's shoulder and said jokingly, "Oh, is it because you're going to be the wife of the Rovio’s president soon, that’s why you’ re looking down on this old classmate of yours? You're actually rejecting my invitation to a meal."

If someone else were to say these words to Vanessa, she would definitely think that they were trying to hint at something to insult her. However, Sinclair would definitely not do that.

Vanessa knew Sinclair well. He had never been the type to be cautious with his words like a typical businessman. On the contrary, he was careless and spoke about whatever he wanted. In the past, he had always said that he was not suited for the business world. However, as he was the only son in his family, if he did not take over his father's company, his father could only give the company to someone else.

It was because Sinclair had no ill intentions that Vanessa didn't know how to respond. Once again, she could only hide her embarrassment with a smile. "Sinclair..."

Before Vanessa could finish, she suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze on her. She looked up and met Julien's gaze again. However, his eyes merely swept over her perfunctorily.
