The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Chapter 23

Madeline turned embarrassed, as she really had no idea how to do that.

She tried to ask, “Mr. Wagner, would you like some coffee or tea?”

She added, “Or watert Red wine!”

After saying that, she seemed to feel a little ridiculous mentioning wine.

Steven finally raised his head and leaned slightly against the chair.

His deep pupils fixed on Madeline.

The young girl was attractive but looked somewhat malnourished. She could even be considered skinny

When Madeline lowered her head, her whole body looked graceful and beautiful.

Her thin wrists looked weak. It was as if they could be broken with just a tiny snap.

In the dim light, she looked obedient and good–looking.

“Mr. Wagner?” The girl’s voice was clear and melodious.

Steven’s gaze dropped to Madeline’s ankle. “No need to bring anything to me.”

He ordered, “You’d better sit down since you’re hurt.”

Madeline responded, “It’s okay, Mr. Wagner. You can order me at any time. My legs don’t feel hurt.”

She added, “Today is my first day of work, and I need this job.”

“So..” Madeline swallowed and said in a softer tone, “You don’t have to be considerate of my injury

She was also afraid that Steven would fire her immediately.

Madeline would not have been in such a difficult situation if her bank card had not been frozen.

She raised her

were amber–colored and bright

Steven was very well–known as Grim Reaper.

Otherwise, she might be foolish and mistake him for a thoughtful boss.

Therefore, she had to be cautious.

Hearing the girl’s weak voice, Steven felt like he was bullying a child.

He chuckled with his eyes looking obscure.

“How good is your Uprian!” he asked.

“Normal” Madeline bit her lips.

Her Uprian was naturally very good during the national university entrance exam but turned bad later on.

Even when she attended foreign events, only simple spoken sentences were required.

As time went by, her Uprian became rusty.

“Come here.” Steven got up, casting a large shadow in the room. “Sit here and translate this article”

Madeline took a step over.

The strong aura emitted from the man made her look extremely insignificant.

She put her hand on the desk.

Clancing at the mahogany chair, Madeline shivered. “I

“I have to sit here? What about you, Mr. Wagner?

“I will supervise your work” the man said with a lowered voice.

Madeline stared at Steven and thought he was

strode to the couch and sat on it with his legs spread apart.

He sank completely into the couch.

Steven looked at Madeline with his dark eyes, motioning for her to start working.

Madeline glanced at the big CEO’s chair and looked troubled.

She wondered if it was really fine for her to sit on the CEO’s chair on her first day of work.

Madeline steeled herself and sat down

to foreign companies. She picked up the black pen on the desk and looked at the article in front of her, which was actually a notice sent to for Steven’s calligraphy was powerful. Even for a casually written notice, the man had written it with a cursive script.

Madeline thought that was really Steven’s style.

She took the pen and began to translate the article, Gradually, she ignored Steven’s gaze.

ngall

After all, she had just noticed that Steven had already gotten up from the couch to make a call.

It seemed that he had important matters to attend to, which was why he entrusted Madeline with the translation,

Madeline was the only one left in the office when she was immersed in her task.

Matilda brought a manager over and entered the office with a contract to be signed. When she looked at the scene in the room, her face changed dramatically.

There was no sign of Steven’s mighty gure at the big and specially customized mahogany desk,

Instead, a skinny–looking girl was sitting on the seat behind the desk.

She was holding the lugrea hand–made pen that Steven often used on regular days.

For a moment, Madeline looked like a little girl studying in her own study.

“M–Maddie‘” Even Matilda, who was always unruffled, could not say anything correctly at that time.

The manager

r was also dumbfounded. “Who is this girl? How dare she sit on Mr. Wagner’s seat Matilda, you…”

Steven was in the company today. The manager could not imagine the boss‘ reaction if he saw this scene

With Steven’s cold personality, the manager was afraid they would suffer from the consequences.

He yelled, “Matildat Quickly make her get up from the seat!”

Madeline paused. “What’s wrong? Are you looking for Mr. Wagner?”

Matilda hurriedly walked over. “Maddie, have

She pointed to the small table in the corner,

you remembered your seat wrong! Your seat is over there…

She thought, “If Mr. Wagner sees this, Madeline will never be able to atone for her mistake, even with a thousand deaths.”

“Besides, what are you writing Matilda asked.

“I let her sit there an icy voice rang out..

Matilda turned around and s

He was dressed in a fine suit without any folds, towering over them with a disdaining look.

expression also turned slightly tense.

“What is it?” Steven asked.

“Mr. Wagner, we have a contract here that requires you to sign in person. Matilda was surprised but soon calmed herself down.

171 PM

Chapter 23

She squeezed out a smile with a tense expression. “It’s about the cooperation with Skyview Group last week…”

The manager

stood stiff. “Indeed, it is.”

Steven sat on the couch and was about to take the pen from his pocket when he remembered that it was in Madeline’s hand.

He glanced sideways at Madeline.

The manager said, “Hey, secretary girl. Bring the pen here quickly.”

He added. “Mr. Wagner is accustomed to using this pen regularly. You’d better use another one. Don’t break Mr. Wagner’s pen either.”

“Okay.” Madeline got up.

Steven replied. “No need for that. It’s just a pen”

He simply picked up a pen in the pen holder and signed his name after scanning the contract.

Being held in his slender, well–defined, and strong hand, the pen looked even more valuable.

The manager took the contract and left the office in a daze.

He wondered why Steven would be this amiable to a secretary, as he was well–known as Grim Reaper.

He thought, “Is that secretary his wife? But she seemed to be a little too young and dressed too plainly… It’s unreasonable for her to be Mr. Wagner’s

wife!

“Why did she have the guts to sit in Mr. Wagner’s seat the manager muttered and got into the elevator,

The others were a little surprised. “Why is Mr. Leach behaving strangely today?”

“Maybe he was scolded by Mr. Wagner, How terrifying. Mr. Loach usually has the best state of mind.”

“Alas, who can remain composed in front of Mr. Wagner?

“Let’s muster up our spirit today more. Make sure not to make any mistakes.”

Everyone trembled, showing knowing expressions tacitly.

Meanwhile, Matilda was already sweating at the CLO’s office. “Mr. Wagner, Mr. Lively is here and waiting in the reception room.”

She then asked, “Would you like to meet him now?”

Sieven followed Matilda out of the office.

Madeline also withdrew her gaze and did not take the interlude just now seriously.

She looked at a word in the article but could not remember the Uprian counterpart of it.

She had no choice but to take out her phone and search for the translation, only to find that the time was over noon.

“I’m screwed. It seems I can’t go for lunch without finishing the translation today Madeline murmured.

Madeline sighed and continued to get busy with her task. “I won’t die from hunger, right?”

She added, “I’d better hurry up and finish it early so that I can liberate myself from this task”

She then thought, To be honest, I admit that the CEO’s chair is comfortable and quite ergonomic. It’s just that I feel extremely uneasy and restless, like sitting on needles. It’s quite an anxious feeling.”

More than ten minutes later, Queenie entered the office with some food. “Maddie, stop what you’re doing first and come out for your meal” Madeline was stunned. “But I didn’t order a

She then said, “By the way, the news abo

“Ahem” Queenie looked at Madeline with admiration. “What a bold newcomer we have here”
