Runaway Mommy: My Boss is the Father novel Chapter 39

Was this his order?

What was he playing at?

Phoebe held her phone, hesitating for a long time, but ultimately decided not to send the text.

She refused to humiliate herself.

Regardless of whether it was Jaxson or Seraphina, Phoebe was strictly maintaining a professional boundary.

She wouldn't make any mistakes, but she also wanted absolutely nothing to do with them.

Seraphina spent the entire afternoon either touching up her makeup or playing games on her phone.

Phoebe assigned her a few basic tasks. Seraphina agreed to them verbally but didn't touch a single one.

Autumn frowned as she watched. “That girl doesn't look like she's ever worked a day in her life.”

Phoebe took a deep breath.

She took a screenshot of the uncompleted tasks, forwarded it to Simon Sterling, clocked out, and left.

She assigned the work. If Seraphina refused to do it, that was Seraphina's problem.

Her refusal didn't mean Phoebe was going to swoop in and do her job for her.

Seraphina spent the entire afternoon whining to Sebastian.

“Why did he transfer me? I just want to stay in the executive suite!”

Sebastian tried to reason with her. “Jaxson is definitely doing this for the good of the company. Besides, if you actually like the guy, isn't it better to learn the core business operations?”

He had to transfer a large sum of money to her account and coax her for half an hour before she finally calmed down.

When she glanced up, she saw the task list Phoebe had sent over.

Seraphina had been gaming non-stop and hadn't even bothered to read what Phoebe wanted her to do.

Trying to boss her around? Phoebe clearly didn't know her place.

Seraphina was only here for Jaxson.

Every time she looked at Phoebe, she was forcefully reminded of those college days when she'd see them walking together.

Phoebe was always so clingy.

Walking down the street, she would naturally lean her weight against Jaxson's shoulder, acting like they were practically glued together.

But Jaxson never pushed her away.
