Chapter 15 Brady and Mr. Green, Two Completely Different Bosses
Violet bit her lip and silently cursed inside as she suddenly realized the intense pain in her chest.
It felt as hard as a rock. Unable to hold back, she couldn't help but let out a painful exhale... She really needed to immediately express the breast milk inside her, or else she would be overwhelmed with discomfort.
Soon, the elevator arrived on the 10th floor. Violet rushed into the company, holding onto the documents, without Mr. Green noticing her arrival as he continued working on his designs in his office.
Violet didn't rush to report the situation to him. Instead, she walked to her own desk and took out a breast pump and other items. She headed to the restroom to pump the milk and put it into two bags, placing them in the refrigerator. She also took dry tissues to wipe off the wetness on her shirt until it wasn't as noticeable.
Only then did she take the files that Brady had rejected and went to knock on Mr. Green's office door.
Knock knock knock... three times.
Max called out from inside, "Come in."
Violet pushed open the door and entered.
Upon seeing her, Max asked, "What did Mr. Hall say?"
"Mr. Hall said our work plan wasn't realistic enough." Violet placed the files in front of Max and recounted Brady's words to him. "Mr. Hall wants us to revise it and submit a new one to him."
"He wasn't satisfied?" Max was a bit surprised. He thought the work plan he designed was already perfect.
Violet nodded. It seemed that Mr. Hall's strictness was well-known.
Understanding this, Max didn't show any emotions. Instead, he smiled gently at Violet and asked with concern, "I understand. Are you going to continue working overtime?"
Laura had briefed him on Violet's employment situation. She had arranged a work plan for her adaptation period, which was quite substantial.
Originally, he thought that such a large workload of design reviews shouldn't be given all at once to Violet, who was new to the workplace. It should have been gradual.
However, after reconsidering, he had developed feelings for Violet at first sight. If she could stay and work overtime with him, they could also cultivate their relationship. So, he hid a bit of personal desire and didn't reject Laura's proposal, letting Violet stay and work overtime alone.
"Yes, I will be working late tonight." Violet honestly answered.
"I'll also be working late. I'll drive you home when the time comes." Max naturally said.
He was completely like a warm and gentlemanly boss.
This contrast strongly affected Violet. Brady and Mr. Green were truly two completely different bosses.
One was intimidating and chilling, and one was gentle and warm like jade. It was like a perfect boss that existed only in TV dramas.
Violet couldn't help but feel touched. Meeting such a boss was truly her luck.
"Thank you, Mr. Green. I can go home by myself."
Violet, although moved, also knew it would be embarrassing to trouble her boss to give her a ride. So she wanted to refuse tactfully.
Max continued, "Ms. Devereux, you are an employee of my company. It's late and both the subway and buses have stopped running. It's not safe for a girl to take a taxi, so there's no need to decline."
"But..." Violet still hesitated. Max instructed her to go back to work directly.
"Hurry up and finish your work. We have a meeting tomorrow and I hope you don't make any mistakes." Violet was about to say something, but when she saw Max analyzing the document that had just been rejected by Brady, she decided not to say any more.
Violet worked at her own desk.
She spread out a thick stack of design drafts on the table and began to work on them tirelessly.
She kept on making modifications until the round clock hanging on the office wall rang a few times, interrupting her concentration. She looked up and checked the time - it was already half past ten.
At this time, her babies should have already fallen asleep. The thought of her babies made Violet's heart ache. Now that she had entered the workplace, she would surely have to work overtime often, and then she wouldn't have time to spend with her little ones.
However, she had almost finished her editing work for tonight. Violet neatly organized the drafts and prepared to tidy up and leave work.
Max walked out of the director's office with his briefcase. Seeing Violet also packing up, he immediately walked over and said, "Ms. Devereux, let's go together."
Violet glanced at the time and the dark night outside. Finally, she nodded and allowed Max to accompany her. They walked and chatted together, heading towards the underground parking lot.
Max's car was a white Audi Q5. They got in the car and Max asked for Violet's address. He smoothly drove her to her aunt's apartment.
Soon, they arrived downstairs of the building. Violet unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and politely said to Max, "Mr. Green, thank you for the ride."
Max propped his hand on the steering wheel and warmly said, "You're welcome. You're an employee of my company, so as the boss, I have to be responsible for your safety, right?"
"Well then... goodnight, Mr. Green." Violet smiled gratefully at him and waved her hand.
"See you tomorrow, goodnight," Max nodded and watched her lovely figure disappear into the mist ahead.
His expression grew contemplative. It seemed like Violet lived in a run-down place. Her family situation might not be great. If he pursued her, a girl like her wouldn't reject a man as outstanding as him, right?
Max indulged in his thoughts for a while before stepping on the gas pedal, turning around, and heading back to his own apartment.
Violet carried her bag and went upstairs. She gently opened the door with the key, afraid of waking her two precious ones.
After entering, she changed into slippers. In the living room, her aunt, who was still awake, heard her come in and immediately got up to greet her. "Violet, are you hungry? There's a bowl of white fungus with lotus seed in the refrigerator."
Setting aside her bag, Violet said softly, "Aunt, are the babies asleep?"
