Married a Secret Billionaire

“We shareholders discussed it and want to promote capable young people.”

Cordelia frowned slightly as her heart thumped.

Michael smiled at her with a complex gaze. “Cordelia, we unanimously agree that you fit this role.”

“Mr. Johnson, you mean…”

“Those who are capable do more,” replied Michael. “You’re the best person to explore Centrolis’ market.”

Cordelia blinked, suddenly feeling anxious.

“We’ve seen the sales proposals you prepared. They’re pretty much perfect,” Michael complimented her. “Your sales result speaks for itself too. You’re outstanding in performance. We don’t want to miss a talented individual like you!

“Cordelia, if we manage to enter Centrolis’ market, the board won’t just keep you as the sales team leader. We’ll promote you to sales supervisor and replace Jesse. What do you think?”

Cordelia took a few deep breaths after leaving Michael’s office to calm down her thrashing heart. She patted her face, but her frown remained knitted as her brain was both blank and chaotic.

It had not been long since she entered the workforce, and she had handled everything based on instinct. She could not figure out what Michael was thinking or what kind of chess game he was playing. Was she indispensable or cannon fodder?

The sales supervisor position was tempting, and she considered the job to explore Centrolis’ market challenging, but was this an opportunity or a crisis?

Cordelia sighed and wanted to go back to her seat to mull over it, only for someone to walk toward her with a sneer.

Not only did Linda’s expression change but the way she looked at Cordelia did as well. She genuinely did not think of this! If she were Michael, she would take it personally, too. After all, she was no saintess.
