Chapter 1846
“Are you Caprice?”
Caprice heard a voice from behind her.
She spun around and saw a man who looked somewhere in his thirties.
The man wore a navy blue suit. He was rather tall and there seemed to be a scent of alcohol that never left his
body.
She answered politely, ” That’s me, and you are?”
“I’m Jonathan, your superior from now on.” He observed Caprice’s beautiful features before introducing himself
with a coy smile.
Caprice smiled and greeted him formally, “Hi there, Mr. Jonathan.”
He was one of Moses’ business partners. He was his senior in university and was several years older than the rest of
them. He was the only member in the administrative department and also helped oversee the sales. This was the
first time Caprice met him since he was not around the office yesterday.
Jonathan smiled. “Not bad.”
Most interns tend to be rather slow, which was understandable since it was their first time in a professional

Or so he thought. The truth was that Caprice was only doing it because she thought it was the polite thing to do.
Jonathan’s seat was right next to Caprice. He only sat for a brief moment so he could relay some information to
Caprice. After that, he was gone again in no time to meet clients and promote sales.
The tasks he entrusted to Caprice were not difficult, but quite tedious.
Caprice stayed busy until the day had turned dark.
It was already nearing closing hours, but everyone in the office was still working hard. The lights in Moses’ office
had been switched on.
Caprice was starving and wanted to go home.
Since she was only a part-time worker, there should be nothing wrong with her clocking out after closing hours,
especially since she finished her allocated tasks.
With this in mind, she rose timidly from her seat.
She got up just in time to see Jonathan coming back to the office.
The moment he made eye contact with Caprice, he went up to her. “Caprice, pack up your things
and come with me.”
Caprice asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Jonathan, where are we going?”
“We’re going to get something to eat.”
Something to eat?
It was perfect since she happened to be hungry, but why was he taking her out for dinner?
Upon sensing her hesitation, Jonathan grew slightly impatient. “What are you doing standing around there?”
“Could you give me a moment? I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Go on.”
Caprice trotted to the bathroom.
Jonathan had a loud and easily identifiable voice. Everyone in the office heard him when he spoke to Caprice.
One of the employees teased him. “Mr. Jonathan, it’s only Caprice’s first day in our office and she’s only a part-time
worker, you’re taking her out for dinner already?”
“She’s just a student!”
“What’s so weird about that? Besides, we don’t like passive employees.” After a pause, he remarked with a wry
smile, “She’s going to be bored out of her mind if she has to stay in the office all the time, she’s too pretty for that.”
That was when Moses came out of his office.
He looked at Jonathan and said disagreeably, “You can’t take her out.”
Jonathan could immediately tell that Moses was interested in Caprice. He cocked an eyebrow provokingly and

to happen.”
Moses did not yield. “That won’t work either.”
Jonathan took a deep breath. “Mr. Moses, I’m going to meet President Michael from SwiftTech Corporation today. If
we can land a good deal, we won’t have to worry about our finances for the next two years. Besides, do you have
any idea how hard it was for me to get him to agree to
dinner?”
Upon presenting his reasoning, everyone in the office stared at the two of them, curiously wondering how it would
play out.
Moses frowned.
Some moments passed before he spoke at last, his voice dark and stern, “Keep an eye on her,
make sure nothing happens to her.”
Jonathan said with a confident smile, “I got it, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Caprice was in the bathroom the entire time and did not hear a single peep about what was said
After washing her hands, she returned to the office.
Jonathan was waiting for her with a somewhat impatient expression.
