Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 154

Due to the earlier incident, it was two hours later when Stephanie arrived at Ironhold Investment Group again.

The receptionist spotted her from a distance. Gone was her previous cold demeanor; she personally came over to greet Stephanie, her attitude completely respectful. "Ms. Jackson, Mr. Vasquez said you can go straight up."

"Okay."

This was Stephanie's first time in Jonathan's office.

The view from the top floor was breathtaking, with a massive floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic vista of the entire city.

Steven showed her in with a polite gesture and then closed the office door behind him.

A thick stack of documents was piled in front of Jonathan.

To Stephanie's surprise, there were other people in the room.

Several men in suits turned to look at her as she entered. Judging by their age and attire, they were executives at Ironhold Investment Group.

"If you can't do it, find someone who can. Don't waste my time."

Jonathan was dressed in a dark gray suit, his hair impeccably styled. His handsome features were as striking as ever as he sat in his executive chair, legs crossed, emanating a suppressive and dark aura.

"I don't keep dead weight."

At work, he was completely different from what she'd imagined. Realizing they were in the middle of a business discussion, Stephanie tactfully stayed near the entrance without saying a word.

With that, Jonathan tossed several files onto the desk. "Take these and redo them."

Someone immediately stepped forward and nervously collected the documents.

Stephanie tried her best to fade into the background, but she couldn't suppress a sneeze.

Only then did Jonathan's gaze shift to her, as if noticing her for the first time. "What took you so long?"

He put down his pen, swiftly took off his suit jacket, and walked over to drape it over her shoulders.

"Why didn't you wear more if you're cold?"

This gesture stunned the entire room of executives.

They all stared at Stephanie in shock.

What was going on here?

Since when was Mr. Vasquez so concerned about a woman?

Jonathan frowned at their prying eyes.

He instinctively shielded Stephanie with his body, as if they were intruding on his private property.

"What are you all still doing here? Get out."
