Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 63

The next day, Lindsey arrived. She was tall, with her long hair neatly styled in an updo. Her makeup was flawless, and her professional outfit accentuated her figure perfectly. The black stockings highlighted her long legs, and her sleek black heels clicked sharply with every step.

Jason was speaking to me when she entered. He paused for a moment when he noticed her. "I thought I assigned you a secretary? Why is Ms. Harper here?" he asked.

Lindsey Harper came from a rural background, but through sheer determination and skill, she worked her way up. Now, everyone addressed her respectfully as 'Ms. Harper', and even in the branch office, she commanded respect.

She offered a faint smile, her gaze sharp and her voice steady as she said, "Mr. Lawson, you must be getting older if you've forgotten that this is Mr. Ranford's first time managing the company. How could an intern possibly keep up?"

Jason didn't dare respond.

"From now on, I'll be his secretary. Mr. Lawson, there's no need for you to worry about this matter anymore."

Jason's fingers twitched slightly. "But Mr. Kevin specifically asked me to guide Mr. Jace. This sudden change might not be the best move."

"Is that so? Mr. Lawson, if you had been doing your job properly, would Mr. Kevin have needed to call me back?"

Lindsey smiled sweetly, but her gaze was sharp. "I won't repeat myself. It's working hours now. Unless you have something to report, you're free to leave. After all, you're the deputy general manager. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to report your mistakes to Mr. Kevin, would it?"

Her friendly smile remained, but with just a few words, she had Jason feeling cornered.

He glanced at me, clearly uneasy. "Mr. Ranford..."

"Dad thinks I'm not handling things well and that I've let you down. There's nothing I can do about it." I sighed.
