Chapter 5 Off-Brand Ginny
After Ginny briefly introduced herself and said a few polite words, she took Shaun’s hand and followed Jessica to the CEO’s office.
Richard stretched his neck to look at their backs with a face full of envy. “Mr. Murphy personally brought her in on her first day. They really do look like the classic CEO couple.”
Beau put his hand on her shoulder and said, “You don’t understand, do you? She just returned here to become the CEO. Our Wayne International shareholders will not be convinced. Mr. Murphy had to personally escort her on her first day to let the shareholders know that she has his backing!”
Richard stroked his chin thoughtfully. “So he’s paving the way for his little, petite wife? Woah, Mr. Murphy is so deeply in love,” he said enviously.
Beau was also rather envious. “If she weren’t the chairman’s daughter, how could Boston’s most powerful man even look at her?”
Richard shook his head disapprovingly, “Ms. Wayne is excellent in her own right. She’s highly educated, and although she’s pretty enough, when it comes to looks…”
Richard looked at Jennifer. “I noticed that Jennifer and the new CEO are a bit alike?”
Beau also came over and looked at her. “They’re a bit similar, but I think Jennifer looks better!”
Jennifer stood up with a pale face. “Don’t talk nonsense,” she whispered before heading to the bathroom.
Richard looked at Jennifer’s thin back a bit worriedly. “What do you think is wrong with her?”
Beau snorted. “She’s probably just jealous because she looks like the CEO but doesn’t have her life.”
Richard didn’t continue the conversation. Beau had always been the kind of person to say things behind others’ backs.
Jennifer got to the bathroom, quickly took out the medicine to suppress heart pain, and swallowed it directly without drinking water.
After spending a long time calming herself down, she turned on the tap, rinsed her face with cold water, and looked up at herself in the mirror.
Afflicted by the disease, her cheeks were sunken and her face was shapeless, while Ginny…
As she was staring, the bathroom door was pushed open and Ginny walked in with her high heels.
Her face was smooth and delicate, and her whole body exuded noble elegance.
She was highly educated, beautiful, and intelligent-qualities Jennifer just couldn’t match.
As she looked into Ginny’s eyes, she suddenly felt a little inferior. She hastily lowered her head, pulled a tissue haphazardly, and turned to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
Ginny suddenly called out to her.

Jennifer’s heart suddenly pounded, and she froze in place as if she had done something wrong.
Clearly, she was just a victim who had been used as a stand- in, and although she did nothing wrong, she still felt awkward in front of the original.
Ginny walked up to her and smiled gently at her. “You’re the assistant in the CEO’s office, right?”
Jennifer forced down her inner soldier, hung her head low, and nodded at Ginny. “Yes.”
Ginny took a look at her wristwatch before saying to her, “There’s still half an hour left. I’m going to hold a general shareholders’ meeting, so make me a cup of coffee and send it to the CEO’s office.”
Jennifer knew Shaun was still in the CEO’s office and she
resisted a little.
However, she hadn’t left her job yet, so she still had to do as she was ordered from above.
She nodded in agreement, thinking that she would just ask Richard or one of the others to take the coffee to them after making it.
Ginny said a quick “thank you” and walked out with her head held high.
Her confidence and poise were in stark contrast to Jennifer’s.
She felt a bit restless thinking of how her sick self looked like a low-budget version of Ginny.
Jennifer stood still, dazed for a while, then collected her
emotions, came out of the bathroom, and went straight to the pantry. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After making coffee for Ginny according to the chairman’s
taste, she wanted Richard to help deliver it to the CEO’s office.
But they had long been called to set up the conference room, so she had to deliver it herself.
“Come in.”
Ginny’s delicate voice came from within.
Jennifer knew she was bound to be embarrassed when she
went in.
She struggled for a while but still gathered the courage to push the door and enter.
The moment the door opened, she caught a glimpse of Ginny sitting on Shaun’s lap.
Although she had braced herself, seeing this scene made her nearly drop the coffee.
Afraid that the pair would notice her reaction, she quickly lowered her eyes and said as if nothing had happened, “Ms. Wayne, your coffee is ready.”
Ginny, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed and said to Jennifer, “Just put it there.”
Jennifer nodded, put the coffee on the table, and turned to walk out without so much as glancing at Shaun the whole time.
After leaving the CEO’s office, Jennifer’s legs were weak, and it took her a while to find some strength to hold on to the wall.
They were in that position. Shaun’s favorite position with her.
Although they were not doing anything, Jennifer’s mind couldn’t help but conjure images of the two of them.
The same position he used on her, he probably would have used on Ginny as well.
No, that wasn’t right. The positions he used on her were just the same ones he used on Ginny once.
To him, she was no more than a stand-in…
