Flirted Wrong, Married Right-Chapter 825: Can’t Be Done

Ah May looked at Shane Sinclair, then at the big secretary who was shocked, and finally at Evelyn Clayton, who was focused on taking the stir-fry out of the lunchbox, and she felt like she was hallucinating.

Was it her imagination? It seemed like Director Sinclair was deliberately trying to show his gentlemanly and easygoing side in front of Evelyn...

Is this the fashionable way brothers treat their sisters these days?

"It’s okay, boss, I’ll do it, I’ll do it." The big secretary was afraid that Shane Sinclair was being sarcastic, annoyed that the food was brought late.

After all, Shane had done stuff like this before.

For instance, once, Shane asked the big secretary to photocopy documents, and in a rush, made a mistake. After bringing it over, got scolded by Shane.

The big secretary was sick with a fever that day, their brain was like mush. After being scolded, fought the urge to cry and suddenly asked if they should go photocopy it again.

The result made Shane utter a laugh of disbelief.

Shane said at the time, "No need to photocopy. Bring over the original, and I’ll hand copy it myself, how about that?"

The big secretary remembered this vividly.

Because Shane’s tone was so sarcastically sincere at the time, the fever-addled brain took three seconds to process whether the boss actually wanted to hand copy it.

And at this moment, Shane, having the plate forcibly taken away by the big secretary, stood there, neither able to sit nor leave, feeling quite awkward.

He glanced at the big secretary indifferently, quite frustrated.

Should he be considering changing a chief secretary?

Evelyn Clayton remained oblivious, after setting the dish she even handed Shane a glass of water, casually saying, "Bro, take a seat."

The big secretary finally finished hustling, hurriedly tugged Ah May out.

Outside the office, the big secretary let out a breath of relief like a survivor of a disaster, slumping onto the sofa at the office door.

Ah May leaned in and grinned, "Sis, what’s up? You seemed so nervous just now."

"How could I not be nervous?" the big secretary wailed, "I have no idea what got into the big boss today, suddenly coming here for lunch, I was afraid if I was late, he wouldn’t be happy."

Ah May ingratiatingly massaged her shoulders and legs, "Director Sinclair seems easygoing, isn’t that exaggerated? Anyway, about Director Sinclair and our Evelyn being siblings, did you know already?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The big secretary, usually having a good relationship with Evelyn Clayton, also interacted naturally with Ah May. Hearing this, she looked at Ah May with a serious expression.

"Let me clarify first, I wasn’t intentionally hiding this from you, it’s just that this matter was instructed from above, it can’t be disclosed until the right moment."

Ah May nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know! I understand! I’m just curious, if they’re siblings, why keep it a secret?"

The big secretary sighed, "They’re not biological siblings, today it was mentioned in the meeting that the little Sinclair is an adopted daughter. Although Director Sinclair and Mr. Wang treat her like their own daughter, others definitely don’t believe it. To prevent anyone from gossiping behind her back, they kept it a secret."

Ah May grew more curious, "Then do you know when our Evelyn was adopted by the Sinclair Family? Was it since she was little?"

"No." The big secretary, exhausted, spoke without much filter, "It was probably five or six years ago, I’m not entirely sure about the details. Although adults can’t be adopted, but The Apex Group is a family business, with a family like the Sinclairs, what’s impossible for them?"
