from her seat. At that moment, the secretaries

around her exchanged sympathetic glances, well

aware of her situation.

mentioned that you requested your employment

contract two days ago.”

and replied, “I couldn’t recall the exact date I

started working and wanted to check when I’ll be

opportunity to be your secretary.” Isabella flattered

continued to race. She had contemplated

resigning because he had become increasingly

demanding, and leaving Shaffer Group would bring

had dreamt of marrying him, but she had long

since awakened from that dream.
