Life at the Top

Chapter 766

After returning to her own office, Celine let down her guard and leaned back on the chair in exhaustion. She then closed her eyes to take a light nap.

She did not know how much time had passed when she was awoken by the sound of the door opening. She sat up straight in record time and recomposed herself to once again display the stance of a strong and capable woman in the workforce.

Celine sighed in relief when she noticed that it was her new secretary entering the room. “Is there anything urgent, Merrie?” She asked.

As Celine’s new secretary, Merrie Jones admired this powerful woman whom she idolized from the bottom of her heart. “Miss Maynard, the investigation team has left today. I just wanted to ask about our work schedule tomorrow,” she said courteously.

“Cancel everything,” Celine said with a wave of her hand. “I’m returning to New York soon. My current priority is to get Sena listed successfully. Besides, I have to get reviewed by headquarters in New York,” she added.

Merrie nodded. After a while, she mustered up her courage and said, “Miss Maynard, is it worth doing this? I heard that…I heard…”

“What did you hear? Did you hear that there’s something going on between Jasper Laine and me? Am I his lover, or did Jasper Laine offer me tons of benefits so that I would help him out?” Celine asked in amusement.

A tense look of nervousness appeared on Merrie’s face. “No, I don’t believe the rumors circulating in the company. However, you have way too much on the line, Miss Maynard,” she said anxiously.

Celine chuckled and said, “Alright, this is none of your concern. You can head home now.”

Merrie turned around to leave after nodding in response.

Celine sat alone in her dark office room and stared at the colorful lights of the city below. She was overcome by an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

She took out her phone and called Jasper.

The moment the call went through, and a radiant smile formed on her lips, washing away all her fatigue and loneliness.

“Hey, it’s been a few days but you didn’t even bother to call. Didn’t you say that you’d miss me?”

Thousands of miles away, Jasper was having a meeting with Jack Tanner and the other executives of Sena. He gestured for them to continue with the meeting and walked out of the meeting room. “I’m busy. Besides, you should have been busy these past few days as well. Anyways, we’ll see each other very soon,” he said with a chuckle.
