Chapter 1376 - 1316: Everyone Has Found Their Other Half

"And so?" Sienna Johnson asked.

"So, women shouldn’t be too strong-willed. If a man is unwilling to spend money on you, it’s better to break it off early. It’s only right for women to spend men’s money!" Tessa Harrington argued confidently.

Tessa is three years younger than Sienna Johnson, and a three-year gap makes a generation gap.

Sienna Johnson looked at Tessa, always feeling that this gap was more than just one; there might be two or even three.

"Have you ever thought about it? If one day you grow old and lose your allure, and he falls for someone else and abandons you, how will you live? By that time, when you try to go back to work, you’re already lacking competitiveness.

And if you’re bringing up a child, life will be bleak."

Sienna Johnson signed her name with a swift stroke, still approving Tessa’s leave request.

"Then I’ll sort out a Property Certificate before marriage. If we divorce, I’ll make him give me all the money."

Sienna Johnson has a friend who is a lawyer and has handled quite a few divorce cases. She has seen a lot of men’s inherent flaws.

"The premise is that he’s willing to give it to you, otherwise with a simple property transfer, you won’t get much money."

"Isn’t transferring post-marital property illegal?"

"Where’s the evidence?"

"This..."

Sienna Johnson looked at the love-struck Tessa, not wanting to dampen her spirits, and instead said, "Life is too long, filled with many uncertainties. Just like how no one knows when they’ll die, love too may change over time.

What women need to do is, when losing love, losing a man, still be able to live with pride and grace..."

"..."

"I’m telling you this not to make you lose hope in love.

I believe that beautiful love exists in this world. But, when all those lovers who broke up or divorced once deeply loved each other, promising to be together forever, none of them imagined they would split one day.

The reality is that divorce rates are increasing, and marriage is becoming more unstable.

So, women can’t depend on men to survive.

Surviving by depending on a man is very risky, so Miss Harrington should be more cautious."

Tessa folded her hands in a playful manner and said, "President Johnson, you’re truly impressive, listening to you is worth ten years of reading."

"Stop flattering me. Love is important, but don’t forget about your work."

"Yes, President Johnson! I will definitely keep your words in mind." Tessa said mischievously.

Sienna Johnson laughed, "Go on then, try to get married soon, and I’ll give you a big red envelope."

Tessa laughed heartily, without any hesitation or shyness, saying boldly, "President Johnson, then you’d better prepare early. I might decide at any time."

"Wait until you decide, then send me an invitation, and we’ll talk."

"I’ll go back and tell my darling right away that our President Johnson is going to give us a jumbo-sized red envelope, asking him if he wants to marry me, haha..." Tessa said teasingly.

"Hurry and go, you’re annoying."

"President Johnson, then I’ll roll out of here smoothly!" Tessa spun around, heading towards the door, and almost bumped into James Winslow.

"Secretary Winslow, you scared me, you didn’t even knock!"

James Winslow grabbed her arm to steady her, watching her clumsiness, he frowned, "Secretary Harrington, can’t you even walk properly?"

Tessa laughed heartily, "Can’t help it, a woman in love is too happy, she practically floats while walking..." Tessa bypassed James Winslow, spun around, "floating" away.

James Winslow frowned as he watched the little woman engrossed in love, his gaze dimming.

"Secretary Winslow, are you coming in or not?" Sienna Johnson asked.

Only then did James Winslow retract his gaze, carrying documents as he entered. With Vivian Abbey pregnant and Tessa in love, most of the work had fallen on him, and he hadn’t taken a day off in a month.

"President Johnson, here is the contract that needs your signature." James Winslow opened the contract and placed it before Sienna Johnson.

Sienna Johnson is very cautious; no matter who hands her a contract, she insists on reading it thoroughly before signing her name.

This habit arose because Dexter Johnson once signed a wrong contract and lost a lot of money.

"Secretary Winslow, prepare for a recruitment event and hire a few more secretaries."

Watching James Winslow’s workload, Sienna Johnson felt sympathetic; occasional overtime is fine, but having James Winslow work like this every day is unreasonable.

Vivian Abbey is pregnant; when the child can leave the mother, it’ll take two or three years before she can work again. Tessa also plans to marry and have children... Once women have children, their focus scatters. As a mother, Sienna Johnson deeply understands that her current work state isn’t what it used to be.

"Yes, President Johnson."

"Oh, right, add one criterion: only male secretaries."

Female secretaries getting married and having children is too unpredictable; Sienna Johnson doesn’t want to painstakingly train a secretary only for them to go have a child.

James Winslow said, "President Johnson, if you want to hire male secretaries, during selection we can exclude women, but adding this criterion to the recruitment conditions will invite criticism from feminists. Additionally, according to the ’Labor Law,’ such obvious discrimination against women in recruitment is illegal."

Sienna Johnson hadn’t thought that much about it, shaking her head and saying, "I really don’t mean to discriminate against women; I just don’t want to keep changing secretaries frequently."

"I understand, but certain radicals won’t think that way."

"You handle it however you see fit," Sienna Johnson handed the signed contract to James Winslow, checked the time, and said, "I’m leaving work early; call me if anything comes up."

"Yes, President Johnson."

With a lot of things at home, Sienna Johnson’s mind was a bit distracted. After handling nearly everything at the company, Sienna Johnson planned to leave work early.

...

On the way, passing a cake shop, Sienna Johnson went in and bought some pastries, as there are many kids at home who love little cakes and treats.

After leaving the cake shop, Sienna Johnson didn’t linger and headed straight home.

Sally is now Sienna Johnson’s Driver and bodyguard, always following Sienna Johnson. Sienna Johnson looked at Sally, thinking about the love-struck Tessa, and asked, "I heard there’s a man pursuing you lately?"

The car shook slightly, Sally glanced at Sienna Johnson through the rearview mirror and said, "I don’t like him!"

"Are you still not over my Brother?"

Sally kept silent.

"I had my mom ask my Brother indirectly; it seems he’s been hurt by Ashley Hopper and hasn’t been interested in finding someone new.

Look around more; there are plenty of good men out there..."

"Yes, Madam, I understand."

The car drove smoothly on the road; they left early, so they didn’t hit any traffic jams.
