In Love, Never Say Never

I instructed Mrs. Eriksen, “By the way, I have a friend coming over soon. Can you please prepare some fruits and cake?”

She nodded and urged for me to finish my breakfast.

As I didn’t have enough sleep, I could hardly eat anything. After just taking a few mouthfuls, I no longer had the appetite to continue.

I thought I might as well wait in the living room while watching TV. When Stacey arrived, she was shocked to see my dark eye circles. “Aren’t you recovering well? What happened?”

I pinched my forehead and replied, “Ashton is hiring a secretary for his headquarters in K City. Are you interested?”

She was surprised. “The president’s secretary? Doesn’t Mr. Fuller already have Mr. Campbell? Furthermore, he never hires a female secretary.”

My head was buzzing at that point. I took a sip of water and explained, “After the new year, the company is expanding. There will be many trivial matters that Joseph will have no time for. Since you have worked at Fuller Corporation before, you know his character and would fit right into the job.”

She didn’t understand the reason behind it. “Ms. Stovall, now that you’re not as busy with work at White Corporation, you can come straight back to Fuller Corporation. So, why?”

“It’s true that White Corporation is running well by itself. But, I won’t join Fuller Corporation as I still have my own plans. Anyway, you can decline the role if you don’t want it.”

She shook her head. “You’ve misunderstood. Honestly, my current position is no different from being a receptionist. Hence, it is an honor to be offered the role of the president’s secretary at Fuller Corporation. But what about the Moore family…”

“You have nothing to worry about that.” I had done everything I needed to do. The punishment had been meted out accordingly as well.
