I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 604 - Sincerity Of The Men

Because the problem with Benjamin Calum was not over yet, Erick and Nicholas finally had to go to the office early in the morning. Fortunately, there were Aaron, Alice, and Daniel, so their work wasn't too heavy. Aaron helped them by asking some of his friends who were in Melbourne to find out about the status of Benjamin Calum's land which was previously suspected by Jack as disputed land. Even though Erick and Nicholas only slept for 30 minutes after accompanying Jack to order jewelry to Edenly last night, they both still worked as hard as they could, even though they kept yawning.

Alice, who couldn't bear to see them, finally decided to make some coffee in the pantry. Having worked in that office for more than three years, she knew the ins and outs of the Muller Finance International office.

"I think Giselle is over now. Just look at her, she's not coming to the office anymore."

"From what I heard, that Giselle was fired directly by Master yesterday."

"Good. At least, this office is not polluted by that powerful woman."

"Yeah, you're right. While actually being a secretary in this company is everyone's dream because the salary is big. Ugh, Giselle sucks."

"Hey, you know what Giselle's real goal is? She works in this company just to be close to Mr. Jack, not because she needs money. Giselle's family also owns a company, although not as big as this company."

"Of course I know. I think everyone in this office knows that Giselle's goal in working for Mr. Jack is to get close to him."

"Yes, I know, I think the whole country knows that at that time Mr. Jack was rumored to have separated from his wife who never appeared again in public."

"Well that's why Giselle came to this company. She took the opportunity to approach Master."

"Really a fox woman. Thank goodness she has been fired. Besides, Giselle is not comparable to Mr. Jack's wife, have you seen her? Indeed, Mr. Jack's wife is very beautiful, it's only natural that Master looks upset all this time."

From the coffee machine, Alice smiled faintly at the conversation of the female staffs who were not far from her. It seemed that the habit of talking about secretaries and CEOs had never changed. Alice felt a deja vu, because in the past she had also been the person the other staff talked about when she was Erick's personal secretary, who temporarily led Muller Finance International. Various unpleasant rumors spread in the company at that time until finally Erick made an announcement that she was Erick's fiancée at that time and immediately the bad gossip about her disappeared instantly after Erick made the announcement.

Just as Alice was about to return to the meeting room, the four other female staffs suddenly appeared, and one of them stood out. This made Alice cancelled her plans. She wanted to know what the female staffs would do when they came to the pantry.

"I hope after this, Master will choose a secretary from among us," said a red-haired girl named Ruby who suddenly came to the pantry, joining her friends who first talked about Jack and his secretary, Giselle.

"Just admit that you want to be promoted, Ruby," said a finance staff member who was holding a small plate of cake curtly, responding to the words of the red-haired girl named Ruby.

"Haha of course, I'm not being a hypocrite. You all want to be the personal secretary of the handsome and rich Mr. Jack, right? I'm sure Mr. Jack is also not a holy man who is loyal to only one woman. So you all don't be hypocrites, you guys. I definitely don't want to be Mr. Jack's secretary either," answered a girl named Ruby, laughing.

Alice's ears perked up at the conversation of the female staffs who blatantly coveted Jack, when she didn't think they should do that to a married man even if it was their own boss.

"W-watch what you say Ruby, we've been just..."

"Just what? Just talking about Giselle who has been fired and hoping you can take her place, right? So you can be close to Mr. Jack," Ruby replied back quickly.

"Ruby, don't talk nonsense! We can report you to the HR department because you have said false facts." Another girl immediately shouted loudly. She was apparently provoked by Ruby's words.

Ruby chuckled. "Don't be a hypocrite, I know you all hated Giselle out of jealousy, didn't you? And now that you know she's been fired, you hope to take her place as secretary to Mr. Jack and become his favourite."

"Ruby, you..."

"Shut up!!!"

Alice who was tired of hearing their bickering finally got out of control. She slowly turned to the female staff who were attacking each other with a sharp gaze.

"That's really disgusting! Is this what you guys used to do all this time when there was no boss in the office? Talking about it and hoping to get it, don't you think about how his wife will feel when she hears everything you say? You're women, how could you talk about a man who already has a wife like this attacks each other. Where is your pride?"

All the staffs who didn't know Alice looked at each other and looked confused.

"Who are you? And why are you in the pantry?" asked a female staff member who was standing beside Ruby quickly.

"I-I..."

"She's Alice, my fiancée and the new secretary of Muller Finance International." Suddenly Erick appeared and joined in the conversation. Without them all knowing, it seemed that Erick had been standing behind the door and heard everything they said.

Hearing Erick's words shocked everyone in the room, including Alice herself, who opened her mouth wide. She couldn't believe Erick would talk like that in front of so many people.

"F-fiancee."

Erick smiled and walked into the room to approach Alice.

"Yes, my fiancée. In the past she was my secretary when I led this office for a while when you haven't joined the company, so it's only natural that you don't know her. And this time, she will be the secretary of Muller Finance International again, replacing Giselle," Erick said again, wrapping his arms around Alice's waist, who was still speechless.

Instantly, the faces of all the women in the room turned pale, especially Ruby, who had been so confident that she wanted to be Jack's secretary to replace Giselle.

"Erick, you..."

"I've heard everything, thank you dear. Thank you for teaching them a lesson," Erick whispered softly cutting Alice's words quickly.

Alice's heart was beating very fast hearing Erick's words. She couldn't believe that after their separation three years ago, she still had the same feelings as before. Ignoring the change in Alice's face which was now as red as a tomato, Erick turned around to face all the female staffs who had now lowered their faces.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?" Erick asked in a rising voice in front of about ten female staffs who no longer dared to lift their faces.
