Chapter 115: Good American Assistant
Daniel understood Chuck's expression, and immediately defended as if he had been greatly insulted:
"Betty was my father's assistant to me, and I don't have any interest in her!"
Chuck suddenly "suddenly realized".
"Actually, with our relationship, you could have found other excuses, such as admiring her talent, but anyway, I'm glad to hear the truth from you."
“……”
Daniel was emo-hit on the spot.
He thought that forcing him to tell the truth was the reason why Jamie and Chuck asked Betty to meet Betty, and asked rhetorically on the spot:
"Do I need to call Betty right now?"
Chuck turned to look at Jamie.
"Of course."
Jamie stepped forward and held his right hand at Daniel.
"Let's make a deal, I know you must have disliked that assistant very much, but you can't just fire her because of your father."
Daniel's face was expressionless, but he was secretly smug in his heart.
Jamie was wrong this time, because he had forced Betty to resign herself.
But then Daniel had another question in mind.
Victoria's Secret's advertising design plan is Betty's, and then this plan is taken by Jamie again, so it seems that he has to invite Betty back again?
At the thought of this, Daniel was immediately overjoyed.
At this time, Jamie's voice continued to sound.
"You parachuted into the position of editor-in-chief of "Mode", and many people under your hands must be unconvinced, if you rely on the assistant's advertising design plan to win the Victoria's Secret list, you will not be able to take this matter to establish a prestige in the company."
"It just so happens that I really appreciate the design concept of your assistant, why don't you try to convince her to be my assistant."
"So you can explain to your father that I poached your assistant, and at the same time, you can openly use your assistant's plan for your own use and gain a firm foothold in the company, what do you think?"
Daniel looked at Jamie with a shocked look on his face.
The conditions were so good that he couldn't believe it.
"What, you're not happy?"
Jamie asked.
Daniel reacted at this time, and Jamie's outstretched hand was still hanging empty, and he immediately shook it with both hands, and it was still clenched tightly.
I'm afraid that Jamie will regret it!
"Actually, we should have met sooner! I mean, you're a great idea! ”
——
Inside an apartment building in Queens.
After Daniel explained his intentions through the door, Betty opened the door.
However, Daniel was greeted not by an invitation to enter the house, but by a barrage of questions.
"So you've come up with a new trick to humiliate me, and you're ready to fix me again? Or did Mr. Meade discover your abominable behavior and order that you must get me back, just because I was the only assistant who couldn't sleep with you? ”
Daniel was embarrassed by the question.
"Betty, I'm so sorry, it was really inappropriate for me to let you be a model yesterday, and I regret and upset afterwards."
"I'm sorry, but I need a job to support myself, but I don't accept handouts, and I don't need to be pitiful for a bastard like you!"
After saying that, Betty was about to close the door.
Daniel hurriedly propped up the door with his hand.
Originally, his initial plan was to trick Betty back to the company first, and then tell her that the advertising plan was favored by Jamie, and then persuade Betty to give him the advertising plan on the condition of recommending Betty to Jamie as an assistant.
Seeing that Betty didn't buy it, Daniel was about to tell the truth.
At this moment, a beautiful young woman with a boy and a supermarket shopping bag in her hand walked towards this direction.
"Betty, is this your friend?"
Before Betty could speak, Daniel's eyes lit up.
"Hi, hello, I'm Daniel Meade, I look at you very familiarly, have you ever been on TV or magazines before?"
Daniel offered to hand the young woman.
"Hello, I'm Hilda Surez, I'm Betty's sister, and this is my son Justin."
Hilda freed up a hand and shook Daniel's hand.
It's already married!
Daniel felt a little regretful in his heart, but his eyes were still fixed on Hilda's sexy figure.
Hilda saw that Daniel was a handsome guy, but she didn't mind him staring at herself like this, and even took the initiative to introduce:
"I've been to the Miss Teen All-America pageant before, and I think you probably saw my picture around that time."
Daniel was about to inquire about Hilda's beauty contest and won first place, when Betty suddenly rushed out of the house, took her sister and nephew's hands and went home.
This rude gesture puzzled Hilda.
However, Betty only used one sentence to make Hilda's attitude change a hundred and eighty degrees.
"He's the bastard who humiliated and teased me and forced me to resign!"
What?
Hilda immediately stopped, turning her head to look at Daniel angrily.
Daniel took a step back in fright, raising his hand to explain.
"I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my doorstep in no time!"
Daniel saw that Hilda looked like a lioness was about to bite, and explained as he stepped back:
"I'm really here to apologize to Betty, can you calm down first? Maybe I should come back at another time. ”
He was answered with a bang, the door slammed.
In the apartment.
The first thing Sidal did when he put down his shopping bag was to ask Betty what was going on and why Daniel was coming to her again.
Betty was about to explain when her phone rang suddenly.
The call came from Daniel.
Betty was still hesitating to answer, Sidal came over and grabbed the phone, picked it up, and scolded into the microphone:
"You bastard, if you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
However, the voice of a strange man came from the other end of the phone.
"Ma'am, please calm down, that bastard you scolded is standing next to me right now, can I say a few words to Betty?"
Sidar asked warily:
"Who are you?"
"I'm standing in front of your house, why don't you open the door and see for yourself?"
As soon as Hilda looked up at the door, her son Justin had already flown over, opened the door mirror and looked out.
"Oh buy ga!"
Justin turned his head and looked at his mother and aunt with a shocked expression.
"You'd never know who I saw!"
"Who?" Hilda and Betty asked in unison.
"Jamie Dutton! Author of Percy Jackson, my idol! Justin shouted.
Sidar and Betty were stunned at the same time.
Outside the apartment door, Jamie returns the phone to Daniel.
The next second, the apartment door opened.
All three of Betty's family were huddled in the doorway, their faces full of disbelief.
Jamie locked on to his target at a glance.
Betty with braces and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.
However, the first to greet Jamie was Betty's nephew Justin.
"Mr. Dutton, do you remember me? At the end of August, at the Strand bookstore, I bought a copy of "Percy Jackson" that you autographed, and we had a couple of conversations. ”
Sidar, who was on the side, immediately apologized for his son.
There were at least a thousand readers at that signing, and more than two months had passed, so how could Jamie remember what it was likely.
To her surprise, however, Jamie really remembered.
even accurately retold the conversation between the two at that time.
Justin said that his future dream was to be a director, so Jamie wrote an extra sentence on the page when he signed it.
To the future great director Justin.
This made Justin very excited, but he didn't expect Jamie to really remember him.
Hilda's beautiful eyes also flashed with curiosity, and her affection for Jamie increased greatly for a while.
On the contrary, Betty on the side was very calm.
Seeing Jamie and Daniel together, she immediately thought of the advertising plan she designed for Victoria's Secret.
This is probably the real reason why Daniel came to her to apologize!
"So I can be invited into the house and sit?"
Jamie asked humorously.
Only then did Betty and the three react and quickly got out of the way and invited Jamie into the house.
As for Daniel, for Jamie's sake, he was also invited into the house by Betty.
As soon as he sat down, Jamie explained his intentions directly.
At the same time, he also told Betty about the deal between him and Daniel.
This embarrassed Daniel.
Fortunately, neither Betty nor Hilda have yet to recover from Jamie's decision to invite Betty as his assistant.
"Is this true, Mr. Dutton?"
Betty was so excited that her voice trembled a little.
Jamie shrugged.
"Unless you think I'm going to be boring enough to you with your ex-boss, or you're reluctant to let go of your job at Mode magazine."
Before she could finish speaking, Betty interrupted excitedly:
"No, I'd love to!"
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, took the initiative to stand up and shake Betty's hand and apologize again.
Daniel winked at Jamie and signaled that he had to retreat first.
Originally, he wanted to stay a few more minutes to see if there was a chance to get to know Betty's sister Hilda better.
But when he saw Hilda's unkind gaze, Daniel decisively dismissed this idea.
As soon as Daniel, the obnoxious guy left, Hilda immediately came to Betty and sat down.
"Mr. Dutton, with all due respect, is it really just because of the advertising plan that Betty designed?"
Upon hearing this, Betty also looked at Jamie a little nervously.
Daniel's lessons are still fresh in my mind, and Betty doesn't want to be deceived again.
Jamie replied calmly:
"Of course, the focus is not on the advertising plan, but on the perspective of ordinary people that the advertising plan shows."
"My current identity makes me no longer able to look at some problems like ordinary people, and whether it is mine, the various products I design and launch, mainly face ordinary people, so I really need an assistant who can give me advice from the perspective of ordinary people."
"This assistant has to be a woman so that she can be gender-complementary to me, and most importantly she has to be reliable enough to help me keep some secrets, so Miss Surez, do you think you can do the role of this assistant?"
Betty nodded vigorously.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Hilda's eyes on the side.
Her instincts tell her that Jamie is still hiding something about hiring Betty as an assistant.
But everyone has their own secrets, and Hilda just needs to make sure Jamie isn't a bastard like Daniel.
In fact, Jamie did have another reason to ask Betty to be his assistant.
With more and more things at hand, Jamie desperately needs to find an assistant to help him with the tedious tasks of daily life.
But finding a reliable candidate is not an easy task.
Although Betty looks ordinary, it can even be said that she is ugly, but this point has become a virtue for Jamie.
Jamie is not Daniel, and the main purpose of finding an assistant is to sleep with each other.
What Jamie needs is a reliable assistant.
Judging from Betty's performance in that drama in her previous life, she definitely meets Jamie's requirements.
Betty is a smart girl full of creativity.
Diligent and hard-working at work, not only can he complete every task assigned by his boss well, but he can also perfectly act as the other party's wingman when the boss is dating different girls, including helping the boss solve the siege and round the lie.
It's a good assistant that all time management gurus dream of, and it's a complete waste to leave Daniel behind.
Since he was met by Jamie, of course, he had to cut off his beard decisively.
Betty is very happy to get her new job, and Hilda and Justin are very happy for her.
Betty even plucked up the courage to invite Jamie to stay and have dinner with the family, proudly telling Jamie that her father's cooking was delicious.
Hilda was quick to add that their father was not only a good cook, but also a good amateur fighter.
Fortunately, Daniel left in time, otherwise when Betty and Hilton's father returned, he would definitely catch him and beat him up.
Jamie could certainly hear the warning in Hilda's words, but he didn't take it to heart.
His body has evolved through the spatial spring, and it is far from being as simple as it seems.
And since the age of 12, John has successively invited retired instructors of special forces from various countries to conduct a full range of training for Jamie, including firearm shooting, combat fighting, and some practical reconnaissance and anti-tracking methods.
Betty's dad is just an amateur boxer, and it's okay to scare ordinary people, but it's not a deterrent to Jamie at all.
In fact, Betty's father, Ignacio, was a very kind old man, and when he came home, he heard that Jamie had hired Betty and offered a good salary, and he immediately showed a very friendly attitude.
When they met and shook hands, Ignacio secretly tested Jamie's hand, but it felt as hard as pinching a vice.
On the spot, he realizes that Jamie is a ruthless character, and he is by no means comparable to a playboy like Daniel.
But because of this, Ignacio became more and more comfortable with Jamie's hiring Betty as an assistant.
After all, with her daughter's appearance, it is indeed difficult for the boss to have any crooked thoughts.
Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere and, as Betty said, Ignacio's cooking was really good.
Before leaving, Jamie gave Betty her first job as an assistant.
Go to the nearest bookstore and buy a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey and read it through the night.
