Chapter 34

The conversation Yarrick had with the president was short. They had only exchanged a few words before the call ended.

From the call, he noticed that the president named Haley sounded very young, at most in her thirties. She seemed to be in a good mood as her voice was light and cheerful.

A thought struck him. He wondered if it was just a coincidence that she shared a similar name to his wife, Hailey. Still, he didn’t dwell on it further since overthinking wouldn’t give him any answers.

Once he met all the department heads and got familiar with them, he would pay the president a visit, and the truth would surface. If they didn’t meet today, then it would be tomorrow. Either way, he would soon meet the beautiful president of the company.

With that decided, Yarrick quickly moved on to what he needed to do. First, he contacted Christina and requested the contact information of the department heads.

At present, he was already in contact with three of them. They were Ethan Dawson, head of the IT department; Amanda Brown, head of the design department; and Christina Chapman, head of the HR department.

Though not entirely familiar with them yet, he had gained an initial understanding of these department heads. As for the others, he wondered how to reach all of them in a short time. After some thought, an idea came to him.

“Hey, Amanda!”

Yarrick decided to start with Amanda since he was more familiar with her. Besides that, the design department was the company’s core, and he needed to pay extra attention to it when learning its operation.

Getting familiar with people was one thing, but the priority was to quickly understand the company’s operations, which was exactly what the president expected of him.

As the president’s secretary, it would be inappropriate for him to be clueless about how the company worked.

“Hey! It’s you, Yarrick! Come sit. So, you’re the president’s secretary now, ha? I would’ve never imagined,” Amanda said in a welcoming tone. Her eyes sparkled when she saw him walk into her office.

Compared to before, her attitude toward him had changed a lot after he became the president’s secretary.

“Hmm, you must be joking.” He smiled and nodded at her, then sat across from her. To him, she seemed like an older sister, warm and polite. It made her easy to talk to.

“Amanda, as you know, this department is the core of the company. The president asked me to come here and learn a thing or two about the design department from you,” he explained.

“Oh, I see,” Amanda nodded in understanding.

After hearing that, she fully understood why he was there. As the president’s secretary, he had to understand how the company worked. Even if he wasn’t good at the work itself, he needed to know the basics.

From what she knew, he had originally been in the IT department and studied software development. So, it was clear that he didn’t know much about the fashion industry.

“No problem, Yarrick! You’ve come to the right person. The design department is no doubt the core of a clothing company. If you manage to understand everything we handle here, it’ll be easier for you to pick up what the other departments do. Now, sit here.”

She spoke, gesturing for him to sit beside her.

Okay. Yarrick was surprised that she picked up on his intentions so quickly. She was very easy to talk to. Appreciating her cooperative attitude, he pulled up a chair and sat beside Amanda. Suddenly, a rich and enchanting fragrance drifted over to him. He was momentarily dazed by her scent. It was a lovely scent that suited a mature woman like her.

“Come now, I’ll start with our department’s workflow.”
