Noah was so scared that he could burst out crying at any time.

He rushed over to yank Karen's arm, intending to drag her out of the study.

"Miss Wood, you'd better get out of here before Mr. Spencer gets mad."

Noah thought to himself, "If Mr. Spencer starts to make things difficult for you, you'll find it too late to regret, woman."

The anxiety inside was almost blinding Noah as he thought his career had come to an end.

Was he obsessed with ghosts or what? How could he have chosen Karen?

In fact, it was not that he had been blinded by anything. Though Karen looked like an underage girl, she was actually quite suitable for Miss Lorna in all aspects. Noah had not expected that Mr. Spencer was unwilling to spare an extra glance at Karen before vetoing her.

"Wait a minute." Karen was still wearing a smile on her face. Although Jayden had kicked her out, she said to Noah in a lower voice, "Mr. Spencer will call me back."

Noah shook his head and instructed the servants around to send the woman out with an eye signal.

The woman had some sort of misunderstanding about Mr. Spencer, did not she?

Jayden Spencer was known as the Asura of the Spencer Family. Did Karen think the nickname meant nothing?

As she had been drummed out by Mr. Spencer, it would be impossible for her to step into any corporation owned by the Spencer Family.

As Noah was lost in thoughts, a cell phone beeped in the study.

Noah paused for a second and turned his head intuitively. At the same time, a trace of brilliance flashed across Karen's eyes. Jayden answered the phone, saying, "Hi, Lorna."

Though the man's cold voice had become softer, his eyes and brows were still covered by a layer of gloom.

While Jayden glanced at the crack upon the desk, Karen's innocent face flashed before his eyes.

A stupid woman...

He snorted inwardly, thinking that it was time for him to fire Noah as the latter had not grown up in the least in terms of his abilities.

"Jayden." Lorna's voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"I'm listening." Jayden loosened his tie and leaned against the back of the chair with a dark look in his eyes.

"Has Noah brought that girl to you?" There was a rare hint of excitement in Lorna's voice.

With his inky brows furrowed, Jayden asked, "That juvenile?"

"So, you've seen her?" Lorna continued with a smile, "Isn't she adorable?"

Jayden replied with a sneer, "Lorna, what you need is an assistant who can protect you but not a Barbie doll like those in your room."

"Noah didn't introduce her to you, did he?" Lorna's tone was tinged with a hint of displeasure. "You should have her resume on hand. Jayden, I like her and want her to be my assistant."

Jayden tilted his head to look at the stack of documents on a corner of the desk. Those were resumes of candidates for Lorna's assistant. They had stayed on the desk for almost half a month, and Jayden had not bothered to spare a glance at them.

He moved the documents closer to himself and then lowered his eyes to find that the resume on the top of them was that of the girl he had just met.

Her name was Karen Wood.

A hint of surprise appeared in Jayden's eyes as he glanced at Karen's resume.

That young woman looked like a Barbie doll, and she simply seemed to be a teenager in the photo attached to her curriculum vitae. How come she was already twenty-two?

Besides, she was at level seven of Sanda, had a Five-Star Chef Certificate, excelled in English, Japanese, and Korean, and was a psychologist...

A psychologist?

This very detail made Jayden's eyes flicker with brilliance. He hung up immediately and ordered the servant outside to call Noah over.

At this moment, Noah was standing at the corner of the stairs motionlessly. Upon hearing Jayden's words, he shivered all over and then hurried to run back to the study. "Yes? Mr. Spencer."

"Where is she?" Jayden glanced at Noah.

"Who?" Noah was still in shock and, for a moment, did not realize who Jayden was referring to.

Jayden's voice grew even colder. "Karen Wood."

"Me?" Karen popped her tiny head out of the door frame and stared at the man with a smile.

The look in Jayden's eyes darkened. As he was about to say something, his cell phone rang again.

He tilted his head to check the caller ID and instantly stood up with the phone clenched in hand. The young master of the Spencer Family had maintained expressionless and emotionless all the time. However, at this moment, Noah and Karen saw clearly that there was a flash of fire surging up in his eyes.

Instead of picking up the phone, he strode out of the room. While passing by Karen, he hurriedly said to Noah, "Take her to the old mansion to see Lorna."
