Chapter 1156
On Monday, Emily showed up on time at the James Group building, job application in hand.
Two years ago, she had worked here as well. But coming back now, her feelings were totally different.
Emily took a deep breath and stepped into the building.
At the front desk, she informed the receptionist that she was here for a job interview.
The receptionist looked over her application and smiled politely. “Mr. James has already let us know, you can go
straight to HR for your onboarding.”
Emily nodded slightly, then took the elevator to the HR department on the 25th floor.
An HR employee looked over her application and asked, “Have you worked here before?”
Emily smiled softly and replied, “Yes, I interned here before.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe HR manager curiously asked, “Do you know Mr. James?”
They were puzzled why Charlie would personally instruct them to onboard Emily and even directly assign her as the
CEO’s secretary.
Emily just smiled again without saying much.
After filling out her resume, employment contract, and various forms, the HR staff processed her formal
employment. They gave her an elevator card and told her to go to the 39th floor to find Tracy, who would help her
with her desk arrangement and office supplies.
Emily grabbed her stuff and left.
With her work ID and elevator card in hand, she made her way to the 39th floor.
As the elevator continued to ascend, she felt like she was getting closer and closer to Charlie. She was uneasy,
feeling like she was walking into a trap.
The elevator doors opened to the executive offices..
Apart from meetings and other company executives visiting Charlie, it was always quiet here.
Emily had been here before, so she was quite familiar with the place. She crossed through the reception area to
find Tracy, the CEO’s assistant.
Tracy was organizing files when she saw Emily approaching. She glanced at Emily and asked, “You’re Emily, right?”
Emily smiled and nodded. “Hi there!”
Tracy was dressed in a dark blue business suit, her hair pinned up. She looked about 30-serious, the kind of
professional woman one could tell was very competent and serious at first glance.
Tracy gave Emily another look, then said, “Usually, to be the CEO’s secretary, you need at least three years of
experience in the company. But looking at your resume, you don’t meet this requirement.”
Emily didn’t know how to explain, so she just kept silent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTracy continued, “I don’t know how you got here, but let me tell you, if you’re not competent or responsible, I’ll
recommend that. the CEO fire you.”
Suddenly, Emily had a thought. If she deliberately underperformed, maybe Charlie would fire her himself.
But the thought was fleeting, and she quickly suppressed it.
She was here not only because of Charlie’s coercion, but also because she wanted to repay her debt to him. So she
decided to give it her all and work for him.
She gave Tracy a soft smile and said, “Yes, thank you for your guidance; I’ll do my best!”
Tracy pointed to a desk nearby and said, “You can sit here! Mr. James has a high-level meeting about a merger case
this morning. You need to photocopy the meeting content six times and the merger case twice. I’ll start you off with
these simple tasks, but you need to adjust to the efficient work environment here quickly
Emily took the documents and said, “Okay, I’ll cooperate with your work as soon as possible.”
She put down her stuff, grabbed the documents to photocopy, and looked up to see Charlie stepping out of the
elevator.
