12 - Sara Woods

Rowan turned to look at his new secretary.

The woman's height was close to Laura's, she looked graceful and elegant. She was wearing a black leather skirt and a white shirt, her sleeves folded up. Her clothes looked well-matched.

Her face structure was almost perfect, she had curly brown hair.

She looked bright and arrogant but with a hint of cuteness.

Rowan knew her too, rather, he was very familiar with her from his previous life.

Her name is Sara Woods, a good friend of the heroine, Laura.

Although she was not a heroine, she was a very important supporting character.

She was excellent in all fields, had a proud face, an enviable level of education, and an ability to manage things perfectly.

When compared with the heroine, the only thing she lacked was luck.

'Well, Laura is prettier too.', Rowan thought.

In his last life, Laura took the initiative to pursue him but Sara disagreed with her choice. 

She then accepted Rowan's father's invitation and became Rowan's private secretary.

Her purpose of accepting was to collect evidence by staying around him, exposing his true colours, and making Laura give up on him.

But, in the end, Sara fell into her own trap and the two ended up being good friends.

Back then, Sara would often help Rowan make decisions and deal with the protagonists.

Unexpectedly, after Rowan's regression, Sara came to his side ahead of time, but for the same reason as before.

Rowan looked at her face, recalled the past, and smiled slightly. 

However, Sara, who had no memories of the future, showed a look of disgust.

'Heh, he really is like the rumours. As soon as he sees a woman, his eyes are full of lust.'

Sara greeted Rowan coldly, "Hello, Mr. Mills. My name is Sara Woods, I have a master's degree in management from an Ivy League University, and I have worked at Black Stone Investment company for two years, and have achieved certainly remarkable results! Your father hired me to be your private secretary, and help you with matters you may require assistance in."

"Hello, Sara, nice to meet you!" Rowan laughed.

"Nice to meet you too. However, Mr Mills, I have to say first, I'm only responsible for your work, and I will never accompany you in any other thing. In addition, if you can't satisfy my standards, I will leave immediately!" Sara hummed, not giving Rowan any respect.

"Of course, you have the freedom in this regard, shortie!" Rowan smiled indifferently.

'You are so cold and de-spirited now. No worries, you'll slowly become enthusiastic and cheerful in the future.'

Sara was a little stunned, "You... what did you call me just now?"

"I think I called you shortie. You see that small height of yours. Can you even see my face without turning your neck completely?"

Sara seemed like a cat whose tail had been stepped upon, and shouted, "Shortie is not a good word to hear or say to a person you just met. Don't call me that, I have a better name, Sara Woods."

"Okay, Shortie!"

"You can call me Sara, Miss Woods, or just call me Secretary Woods."

"I know, shortie!"

"..."

After arguing a few more times, Rowan still didn't change, staring at Sara's eyes which wanted to kill him.

The butler saw the situation was a little rigid, so he said, "Miss Woods, the young master is just joking with you."

"Don't worry, although I'm a little young, I'm not that childish!" Sara gritted her teeth, "Young master, it's getting late, shouldn't you start working? If you're lazy, I can report it to the Chairman and Mrs Mills."

Rowan thought for a while and felt that it was indeed time to start working.

To deal with all the upcoming protagonists, he must have large finances, power and connections, which would all come from working.

"So, butler, what am I in charge of?"

The butler said quickly, "Young master, you can choose to be the deputy director of any department within our group or be the vice Chairman of a subordinate company. Master said that after you have achieved good results, you can move up in the group."

This was an advantage he had for being the rich second-generation villain. He could start as either the deputy director or the vice Chairman. 

The end result of countless people's life's efforts was just his starting point. [E/N: Nepotism]

"If that's the case, I'll choose to be the vice-Chairman of Mills Investment Company!"

Rowan chose the investment company because for him, a regressed person with prophet-like knowledge in his brain, investing was the easiest and most profitable option.

He was very confident and wanted to reach the top sooner than he did in his previous life.

"Okay young master, I will inform the Chairman about it."

Seeing that Rowan was finally going to work seriously, the old Butler who had seen him since he was a toddler was extremely happy. 

He then said happily while showing Rowan a file, "Young master, you are now the vice Chairman of a company under the group! According to the regulations, the company will provide you with a car, a personal secretary, a driver and a bodyguard. You already have a car and a secretary, but you still need to get a driver and bodyguard. Here is the list of candidates. Will you choose them yourself or should we arrange it?"

"Give it to me, I'll do it myself."

Rowan remembered that there was a very loyal and fierce man who followed him in his previous life.

He played an important role in helping Rowan so this time, he'll get him again.
