Chapter 48

I knocked on the door.

A pleasant voice was soon heard from inside, saying, “Come in.”

As the door was pushed open, I caught sight of a handsome guy sitting on the chair, the same one I had bumped into in the morning.

It seems that he was indeed the president of Clicks Media.

“Hello, here is your coffee.”

I respectfully placed the coffee in front of him and then turned around and left.

But he suddenly shouted at me.

I was startled and turned around to look at him, “What else does the CEO have to command?”

He smiled at me, and it was that kind of dazzling smile.

No wonder almost everyone in the office today couldn’t take their eyes off him; even someone like me, who is used to handsome guys, was impressed by his looks.

He threw a document on the desk and said to me, “This is a project that the company has been discussing recently. Go back and take a careful look at it.”

“Ah?” I looked at him in surprise, feeling a bit confused.

He smiled and said, “You familiarize yourself with this project and then come with me to meet the client.”

“Me?”

I was shocked again and quickly explained, “I wasn’t the secretary team leader, I was new, I had no experience, I…”

“I know,” he leaned back in his chair and smiled gently, “It’s been over half an hour since work ended, everyone has left, and you’re the only one still in the office, proving that you are a diligent person. I want to give you this opportunity.”

I smiled humbly, feeling embarrassed to say that I stayed a little longer at the company because I was too tired.

Then he added again, “You can learn a lot from a project. It’s not scary to lack experience, what’s scary is if you’re not willing to learn wholeheartedly.”

“I am willing to put in effort, I definitely am willing to put in effort to learn!” I quickly said.

Being able to work on projects and learn new things is something I have always desired.

It was only my first day at work, and the CEO gave me such a great opportunity, which made me feel pleasantly surprised.

I took the documents on the table and said to him earnestly, “President, rest assured, I will go back and study this project carefully and familiarize myself with it!”

The man smiled and waved at me, “Alright, you can go off work first.”

I was walking away when I heard his voice from behind, “Go back and take care of your ankle. If it’s injured to the bone, it will leave sequelae.”

A warm current flashed through my heart in an instant.

This president really treated the employees well.

Coming out of the president’s office, I carefully put the documents into my bag and then left.

After working for a whole day, I was so tired that I was about to collapse. However, because of the opportunity given by the CEO, I suddenly felt energized, as if I had been injected with chicken blood, and my spirits were lifted.

On the way back, as I was about to call Lavonne to share my joy, Reynaldo’s phone suddenly rang.

I furrowed my brow, hesitating whether to accept or not.

Suddenly, the screen of the mobile phone went black and the phone instantly shut down.

I was completely dumbfounded.

When I checked at noon, my phone still had 20% battery left. I was busy all afternoon and didn’t touch my phone at all, so how did that 20% battery get drained?

I turned on the phone again, but it instantly turned off.

Well, it seems like this phone is not working anymore.

I didn’t know what Reynaldo wanted when he called me.

Given his temper, if I didn’t answer his call, he must have been very angry again.

I turned my head and looked out of the window, thinking about his heartlessness in the morning, and felt a wave of sadness and suffocation in my heart.

It’s almost autumn, and the nights get dark quickly.

On the way back, I got stuck in traffic again, and by the time I arrived at the villa, it was already dark.

Madisyn did not wait for me at the door as usual.

She must have been busy in the kitchen.

To be honest, although my family was in decline, I was still relatively happy.

After all, I had Madisyn waiting for me at home, and Madisyn would cook hot and steaming meals for me.

For a moment, the negative emotions that had been lingering for days disappeared! Now, my heart is filled with a sense of fulfillment and a hopeful anticipation for the future.

However, as I walked into the room, my smile instantly froze on my lips.
