Julissa tried her best to focus on her work, making an effort not to pay attention to Scott. Right now, he was just her boss, and she didn’t need to think about the past anymore.Having never worked as an executive assistant or in any secretarial role, Julissa soon realized how meticulous and tedious the job was.After shadowing for a day, she began to doubt whether she could really handle the position. But no—*now Scott was her boss*, and she just needed to focus on doing her job well. She wasn’t particularly organized, but she could learn, right?When Linda noticed her unease while explaining the work, she asked if Julissa had any questions.Julissa honestly admitted that she didn’t have any assistant experience, wasn’t very detail-oriented, and was worried she wouldn’t be able to manage. Linda kindly reassured her, "Experience can be built over time. If you were careless before, just be more careful from now on. There’s always a learning process."Julissa was deeply touched. Fo

If it weren't for Scott, Annabelle would really suspect that Julissa had been tricked.However, after thinking about it, Annabelle could easily understand. For someone like Scott, money was just a number. What seemed like a large sum to Julissa and herself probably wasn’t a big deal for him.Annabelle wasn’t very materialistic. As long as she had money to spend, she didn’t think much about earning more.Right now, though, she was a bit strapped for cash. She couldn’t help but feel envious of Julissa, joking, "Does Mr. Nichols still need assistants? I want to go juice some fruit too.""Forget it, you already have your own big boss at home. Why are you jealous of us working stiffs?"Annabelle pursed her lips. "What’s his is his. I still want to rely on myself."She thought about it for a moment, and a sudden realization hit her. Was she subconsciously deciding that she wanted a long-term future with Kendrick?After dinner, Julissa dragged Annabelle to the mall.Julissa found a pair of h

That night, Annabelle received her first practice capital. The amount was roughly the same as what she had saved up before marrying Kendrick.After both of them had showered, although Annabelle was tired, she was full of enthusiasm. She didn’t want to go to sleep; instead, she eagerly wanted to hear how the evil capitalist made money from money.Seeing her so enthusiastic, Kendrick suggested, "Let's go to your study in the suite. I'll explain the basics to you."Annabelle quickly blocked the door to her suite. "Let's go to your room!"Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Your room is off-limits?""It’s a little messy, I haven’t cleaned it yet. Let’s go to your room."As she spoke, Annabelle grabbed his hand and led him toward his suite.Kendrick was puzzled. When had her room ever been messy? She seemed like she was hiding something—was it related to the gift she was planning to give him?She didn’t say anything, and Kendrick didn’t press her on it. If she didn’t want him to see it, he would

Scott’s brow twitched. Did this woman never check her appearance in the mirror before leaving the house?Annoyance stirred in his chest, and he quickly diverted his gaze, no longer looking at her.As Julissa continued to write, she began wondering whether Scott intended to buy Annabelle a gift. Could it be...?When she finished, she looked at Scott with a frown, then handed him the paper.He took it without looking at her, his mind clearly elsewhere. He glanced at the paper for a moment before simply saying, "That's all, you can go now."Julissa noticed how intently he had been watching her write and draw. It seemed that Scott was truly invested in Annabelle’s well-being. Reflecting on how he treated Annabelle during their previous encounters, it was clear that he cared for her deeply, and with a great deal of attention to detail.But was that really appropriate? After all, didn’t he and Kendrick share a close brotherly bond?Julissa quietly walked to the door but then firmly turned b

"Finished with your call?" Scott asked.Julissa stood at attention. "Yes, Mr. Nichols.""Come in, the meeting is starting.""Oh, okay..."Julissa quickly followed Scott into the meeting room and realized that all the senior management were already present, sitting up straight in their seats.For a moment, she felt out of place, thinking, Why does it feel like I, this little assistant, am somehow an indispensable part of this meeting?In fact, throughout the meeting, she just sat in the observation area, listening to terms she had never heard before, walking around in her own thoughts.This was a high-level meeting, discussing important company decisions.She wondered, was this considered eavesdropping on confidential business matters? Then, she turned her attention to Scott speaking. Wow, this was how he was when working—so serious...He was also very strict with his subordinates. One of the executives had used an ambiguous term, and that was not acceptable.Scott demanded logic, brev
