Chapter 28 It's Hard to Judge A Book By Its Cover

Gao Wen was looking at the file. After she heard the door being opened, she casually looked up. When she saw Helen, she was completely surprised. Then, she closed the folder in her hand and lowered her gaze. As she looked up, she hid the hatred in her eyes, and said in surprise, “Are you the previous nanny that worked for Antony? Why are you here?” As she spoke, she stepped forward, and initiated to open the door for Helen. “Come in” She was still gentle and kind. If not for the scene that Helen witnessed yesterday, she would’ve liked this woman very much. After all, she was rich and had a high status, it was also rare to find someone so gentle and kind, and seemingly considerate. She nodded, “Hello, Boss Gao” Gao Wen was surprised when Helen referred to her as ‘Boss Gao’. This woman did know her identity here. Why is she here? At this moment, Manager Lin happened to enter the office. After he handed the documents to Gao Wen, he saw Helen, and asked, “What’s up, Helen?” Helen let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but she felt difficult to breathe when she was alone with this woman. She shifted her gaze towards Manager Lin and handed the resignation letter in her hand, “Manager, I’d like to resign.” Manager Lin looked at Gao Wen then looked at Helen, took a few steps forwards, grabbed her hands, “What happened?” After thinking about it, he quickly let go. She clenched her fist and loosened up, “Manager Lin, I think I’m not qualified enough for this job. Sorry.” “No, your makeup skills are even praised by the senior workers here. Is it because of the salary?” Both of them did a mutual exchange. Gao Wen frowned, lightly coughed, and gently said, “Manager Lin, what’s wrong?” Manager Lin stepped forward and replied respectfully towards Gao Wen, “She is the new makeup artist who just started working recently. Her makeup skill doesn’t lose to those who’ve been working for several years. Such an accomplishment in this young age, is really rare.” As Gao Wen heard Manager Lin praised Helen, she was surprised. Then, her heart was slightly unhappy. Now, she stepped forward and took Helen’s hand, and said excitedly, “I didn’t expect Ms. Brown to be so modest.” She was at a loss by Gao Wen’s enthusiasm. Then, she immediately withdrew her hand and pushed her glasses. “Manager Lin is exaggerating. Actually, I have no experience in this line of work before. It just happened by a chance.” After speaking, she lowered her head feeling guilty. Gao Wen looked at Helen from head to toe. She was different from when she was at the Davis residence. She was more elegant as she let her hair down and her skin wasn’t as dark as before. It had turned a lot fairer. Even it was just a glance, she couldn’t be referred to as beautiful, but she turned more pleasing to the eyes. Even though she had this makeup skill, but she worked for Antony as Paddy’s nanny, and seemed like she was quite close to Antony. When she thought of it, she clenched her teeth with hatred, and she had underestimated this woman indeed. She put her document on the working desk. She took a few steps and stopped beside Helen. She grabbed her hands and her thin lips slightly raised, “It looks like you are only a few years older than me. Then, I’ll just call you by Sister Helen. Sister Helen, since Manager Lin thinks highly of you, how can I let such a talented people go? Are you not satisfied with the salary? Don’t worry, we can discuss this. But don’t leave, okay?” When Gao Wen used such a friendly term, Helen was shocked. To be honest, when she came earlier she didn’t expect that she would meet Gao Wen. When she met Gao Wen, Helen didn’t expect that she would persuade her to say, and even so friendly. Suddenly, she remembered the scene she saw yesterday. Did she really think too much? Is it just a simple way for a person to vent her anger? She looked up and smiled, “Boss Gao, just call me Helen. Well, it’s not because of the salary. It’s just that, I’m afraid that I couldn’t do well. SM is such a big company, I am afraid I will bring shame to the company.” She tried her best to put the responsibility on herself. Gao Wen’s eyes tightened, her smile turned tight. Suddenly, she thought of something, “Manager Lin, last night I didn’t see Sister Helen took a bow. Did you treat her unfairly, that’s why she felt being left out and decided to resign?” She still calls her Sister Helen. Upon hearing that, Helen felt burdened. “No, it’s not that. Yesterday, I had a stomachache, that’s why I didn’t join. Please don’t blame Manager Lin.” Helen quickly explained. However, Gao Wen seeing her became anxious, and also her nervousness. Why is she nervous? Is it because she saw Antony last night? Did she afraid of her finding out, even though she had makeup skills, she still worked for the Davis family as a nanny? Thinking about this, she sneered in her heart, but her expression didn’t change, “So, that’s the case. Then, Sister Helen, since you have no objection towards our company, the salary, and even our Manager Lin, that’s the more reason I can’t let you go. Please stay. Since Paddy loves you very much and I will be her mother, I will need to learn more from you.” Manager Lin’s hand obviously trembled. Does Paddy like her? Paddy is Antony’s son, and this woman knows Antony? He couldn’t help but gulp. He felt grateful that he knew about it early, otherwise, it would be a disaster. Be Paddy’s mother? Helen’s heart twitched a bit, as if it was hit by something, and felt unpleasant. So, her resignation went up in smoke today. She put on a fake smile, “Well, fine then. Thank you, Boss Gao, Manager Lin. I’ll get back to work.” After speaking, she turned around, and left the office. After the door was close, Gao Wen stared at the door for a long time, before slowly shifted her gaze. She picked up the documents on the desk again and looked down. She suddenly thought of something, slowly said, “Cousin, please double the salary of Sister Helen.” Manager Lin obviously shocked, he squinted, and took a breath, “Cousin, did you say double? She is a newcomer. If we double her salary, won’t the other employees have complaints on her?” Gao Wen’s gaze grew deeper. Complaints? Of course, there will be complaints, otherwise, she wouldn’t double her salary!
