Furrowing her brows, Gwendolyn was bewildered that her wage would be deducted on her first day of
work.
However, her eyes lit up as she chirped, “Bonus? So there's a bonus every month?”
Staring at her surprised expression, Patrick mused, This girl is really a miser.
He then nodded. “Of course. Lowen Group has a policy concerning rewards and disciplinary
sanctions.”
Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn was nearly bursting with joy. So besides the wage of thirty thousand, I'll
also have monthly bonuses and a year-end bonus! Sweet!
With that, she was intent on working at Lowen Group until the three children had grown up.
Meanwhile, Patrick did not utter a word despite taking a sip of coffee that contained milk.
As he gazed at her with his black eyes, the corners of his lips curled up at the jubilation on her face.
“Mr. Lowen, I have no idea what my job scope is as it's my first day of work. Can you please give me a
second chance?”
Noting her sincere expression, Patrick arched his eyebrows in response.

Gwendolyn dashed to her desk to fetch a notebook before returning to him.
“Mr. Lowen, can you please tell me briefly what the job of a personal secretary entails? I'll make sure to
cover every detail and accomplish them.”
For the sake of the high wage and a happy life for her and the children, she decided to go all out.
Patrick took another sip of the coffee that she made, finding it to his liking.
“Basically, a personal secretary deals with all my private matters. For example, my outfit, food, and
medications. You'll have to be by my side during business socializations and follow the driver in driving
me around.”
Gwendolyn dutifully jotted down everything he said. Although this sounds more like the job of a nanny, I
shall be his nanny for the sake of the money.
As soon as Patrick finished explaining, he started working. From time to time, a manager would enter
to report some work matters to him, which he listened to attentively and provided feedback.
Out of boredom, Gwendolyn propped her chin up while watching him work and reprimand his
employees. It felt like he was the main pillar of Lowen Group.
At noon, Gwendolyn stepped up to his office desk. He was holding a cigar in one hand while the other
hovered over the keyboard, typing quickly.
He had a two-hour meeting in the morning, after which he met the managers from all departments. This
process took over an hour.
His schedule is so tight! Then it makes sense that his time is worth millions. It seems fair.
“Mr. Lowen, would you like me to order you lunch, or are we going to the employees' cafeteria?”
Patrick cast a glance at the time and realized that it was already a quarter past twelve.
Taking a puff of his cigarette, he responded, “We'll go to the employees' cafeteria.”
Since it was her first day of work, Patrick decided to show her around so that she could at least
familiarize herself with the cafeteria.

Gwendolyn nodded. “Sure! I shall make a move first then. Take your time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she turned around and prepared to leave, Patrick barked, “We're going together.”
Although Gwendolyn had intended to pretend that she did not hear him, it was ridiculous considering
how loudly he had spoken.
Besides, he was her boss, the person paying her wage, so she had to abide by his decision.
“I thought that a CEO like you would be eating with the senior executives.”
Fiddling with his phone, Patrick strode toward her.
They then went to the spacious employees' cafeteria on the second floor, where a long line had already
formed.
Once Gwendolyn entered the cafeteria, she joined the queue.
However, Patrick did not follow her. Instead, he sauntered straight to the front and selected his favorite
foods. After that, he moved to sit near the window.
Gwendolyn was the last one arriving at the cafeteria, so all the tables had been occupied by the time
she got her food.
She gripped her tray and looked around her. Most of the employees had friends and were sitting
together. Since she did not know anyone, she headed toward Patrick, crestfallen.
