Kathryn didn't know how she made it out of the lounge without collapsing. She returned to the venue with an ashen look on her face.When Tally saw her, she asked with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Did you get sick?"Kathryn looked at Tally, who'd been her best friend since junior high, and her eyes immediately started to water.Seeing that she was on the verge of tears, Tally quickly looked around. Noting that there weren't many people around, she took Kathryn by the hand and led her to the restroom. "What's wrong? Did Mr. Albert yell at you or something?" she asked.Once they reached the restroom, Kathryn's knees gave way as soon as Tally locked the door behind them. She sat on the floor with a pale look on her face. Tally rushed over and held an arm over her shoulders. "What happened? Don't let Mr. Albert see you like this. You'll get into big trouble!" she said.Everyone knew that Albert Group's president was a tough and uncompromising man.No matter how beautiful a femal

Heavy breathing could be heard on the other end of the phone, accompanied by a hint of inexplicable coldness.Kathryn was stunned into silence for a moment. She took another glance at her phone. When she saw that the caller was Chris, she prayed to God that lightning would strike her down right this instant.She switched into her business mode and greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Albert.""Get back to the company right this instant," Chris said coldly. Then he hung up.Kathryn stared at her dark phone screen and pouted sadly. Her mini-vacation had been cut short once more.She quickly turned back and returned to her apartment to change. Then she hastily ordered some takeout pasta for Tally from a shop downstairs. Tally frowned when she saw that Kathryn had returned so quickly. "Was there no queue at the bank today?"Kathryn was out of breath from all the running. "Mr. Albert summoned me to the company immediately. I bought you some pasta."Then she placed the pasta on the table

The air grew quiet. Chris' dark eyes gleamed coldly as he stared down the extremely nervous Kathryn in complete silence. He attempted to discern how truthful she was being.Kathryn looked at Chris anxiously, her palms drenched in sweat. She felt like she was going to go insane at any moment. She prayed that Tally wouldn't send her any more messages.Just as she was about to break down, Chris finally asked in a cold tone, "What part-time job?""Relief sculpting," Kathryn replied."What's that?" Chris asked. The profession clearly puzzled him. "It's basically a form of sculpting," she answered. It was something that wasn't related to her current job at Albert Group in any way.Kathryn assessed his response cautiously and found that she couldn't read the man's expression at all. She had no idea if she had passed his test or not.Chris cast a cold glance at her, then took a drag from his cigarette. "Don't we pay you enough?" he asked."No, it's not that. I just enjoy sculpting." S

Markus couldn't understand why Chris had kept Kathryn as his assistant for this long. Was it because Kathryn was afraid of him and didn't act infatuated like his previous assistants? He thought that was a huge possibility.Kathryn turned back nervously. "Sorry, I dropped something. I think it'd be best if I took the employee elevators!" After telling that white lie, Kathryn tried to make a run for it. "Just get in," Chris demanded in a cold tone.Kathryn hesitated for a moment but didn't dare disobey. She walked into the elevator stiffly. She stood on Chris' left as the elevator ascended. Her back was pressed against the elevator, and she tried to make herself seem as inconspicuous as possible.Chris looked at her with a frown. "Go get me a report from the finance department.""Yes, sir." Kathryn straightened her back.When the elevator reached the finance department's floor, Kathryn sprinted out of the elevator. The way she ran resembled that of an escaped convict. Chris and

Since Chris hadn't asked her about it for an entire month, she'd assumed that it was settled. Now, it just seemed like things had gotten worse. Kathryn didn't know how to answer him.Sensing her silence, Chris glanced at her coldly. "What's wrong? Do you not want to do this?""No, I don't!" Kathryn thought, but she didn't dare say it out loud. Before she could say anything else, though, Chris continued, "From what I know of your abilities, you'll need some help to get to the position of executive assistant."Kathryn looked at him with wide eyes. Did that mean that he was sending her to learn from Markus because he wanted to promote her? That position paid four times more than she was earning now. To Kathryn, that was a huge temptation, as she still had a hefty mortgage to pay off.However, she soon lowered her head back down. "But what about Mr. Hunt?""Markus will be resigning at the end of the year and going home to help with his family business."Kathryn's breath caught in her thro
