The Ex and Her Riches

When confronted with her question, Kieran didn’t flinch. “I only know I must obey my superior, so I’ll do what you say, Ms. Mossey.”

Inez was at a loss for words.

His words sounded extremely pleasing to the ears. The main role of a secretary was to assist his or her leader. With Kieran’s high education and good looks, he was more than qualified for the position.

Inez simply stated in response, “Being my secretary requires a high level of competence. I expect everything to be understood in the first instance. I’ll give you a seven-day trial period. If you fail to handle all tasks flawlessly, you’ll have to leave Mossey Corporation. Do you have any objections?”

“I have no objections to that.”

“Great. This is a collaboration proposal sent from overseas. I want you to translate the entire document into Chanaean and submit it to me before noon.” Inez intended to make things difficult for him. She sorted several Greganese business plans and passed them to him.

Kieran calmly took the documents and briefly skimmed through the words. His cool and composed demeanor remained unchanged. “Sure.”

Inez knocked on the desk and emphasized, “You’re known for being a man of few words, but that won’t work here at Mossey Corporation. You should reply, ‘Yes, Ms. Mossey.”‘

Kieran let out a rare chuckle. “Yes, Ms. Mossey.”

He took the documents and turned around, preparing to leave.

“Wait,” Inez stopped him again.

“What’s wrong?”

Inez stared at him solemnly. She first corrected his words, “You should ask, ‘Do you have any further instructions, Ms. Mossey?”‘

Kieran managed to withhold his laughter. He asked in a proper manner, “Do you have any further instructions, Ms. Mossey?”

Inez was somewhat satisfied. “Go and get your office desk moved in, and place it in…” She scanned the surroundings. Finally, she pointed to an empty space behind the visitor’s couch. “Move it over there. It’s closer to me. I can oversee your work and assess your performance at any time.”

Kieran couldn’t ask for anything more than working in the same office as her.

“Okay.” The moment he finished speaking, he immediately sensed Inez’s intense stare. He hurriedly corrected himself, “Yes, Ms. Mossey.”
