Coolest Girl in Town

Austin waved his hand. “That’s not necessary. Mom is old, so let’s not bother her.”

“For now, I just want to return to the company as soon as possible. It’s a sizable enterprise, so I cannot allow it to die in my hands!”

“How are you so stubborn?” Jeanie was fuming at Austin’s conservative outlook. “You’ve really gone blind!”

With that, she sent Faye a death glare before stomping out of the room. A grin crept into the corners of Faye’s mouth, betraying her inner thoughts.

My dear mother, it’s still too early for you to be going up against me.

“Faye.” Austin suddenly called her name.

“What is it?” Faye was so caught up in her delight that she almost forgot to respond.

“I’ll be off to take over the company tomorrow, so you don’t have to go. If you find staying home a bit boring, you can hit up the others in the family for the preparations to welcome your sister to the family. She has been through a lot out there, so make sure that every part of the ceremony is the way it’s supposed to be. Make it as grand as you can so that she will be given due justice.”

“For sure. I look forward to her return as well.” Faye readily agreed, but she was still a little reserved about handing over the company. “Still, the company has undergone drastic changes recently, so I think I should serve as your assistant. The shareholders have gotten more powerful lately, and they’re starting to get ahead of themselves. I fear that if you face them alone, you’ll get so worked up you might not be able to take it.”

“It’s not a bad idea. We’ll do that, then.” Austin dropped his persistence, while Faye sighed in relief. After a few exchanges laced with fake concern, she went out and closed the door behind her.

In the room, Austin gazed in the direction Faye went, the look in his eyes gradually getting fiercer.

The next day, Austin returned to the company as promised and took over the president’s office once again.

On the other hand, Faye stood in front of the desk with a man and a woman by her side, making introductions. “Dad, I’ve appointed them as your assistants. If you have any plans you need to carry out, you can give them the orders, and they’ll make it happen.”
