Be Closer

Seeing Ethan looking at her like that, Rosetta felt a sense of satisfaction. He had never looked at her this way before.

"Are you joking? Being a secretary requires professional training, especially to be my secretary," Ethan said sternly, looking at Rosetta with surprise in his eyes. His gaze exuded an aura of authority and cold arrogance.

Upon seeing his expression, Rosetta lost her confidence. It seemed that he was serious, and she didn't have a chance.

"I can learn," she said, but her voice lacked conviction. It wasn't as clear and loud as earlier.

Ethan let out a sigh. "Being a secretary really doesn't suit you, and I don't have a suitable position for you here. Your resignation was impulsive. It's better for you to go back and continue your job."

After showing off in front of Sophia just now, it would be awkward to suddenly not have a job. Even if it wasn't a secretary position, there were other options available. At least it wouldn't be uncomfortable, and she could still achieve her goal of working here.

"Please don't be like this. I believe you can arrange a job for me. If you think I'm not capable enough, I'm willing to learn," Rosetta pleaded.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ethan also felt troubled. He reluctantly nodded. "Alright then, let Mike see if there's a suitable position for you. Give it a trial run, and if it works out, you can continue. If not, return to your own job promptly."

Rosetta lifted her head, smiled, and nodded at Ethan. Regardless, it was still an opportunity.

Sophia, with me here, let's see if you dare to come find Ethan.

"Miss Jones, how did you come up with the idea of working in our company?" Mike asked as he walked with Rosetta, looking for a suitable position for her.

Rosetta smiled lightly and looked at Mike. "We've known each other for a long time. You can't bully me. You have to give me a better job."

"Naturally, otherwise why would Mr. Frost ask me to arrange a job for you? He also considers relationships," Mike replied.

Rosetta happily nodded. Ethan's respect for her had been misunderstood as having ulterior motives before, but now she felt there was a chance.

"By the way, can you assign me to a place closer to Sophia's office?"

Sophia's office?

Mike carefully considered where would be closer.

"Miss Jones, she is in charge of project planning, so you won't be able to work directly with her. I don't think proximity is an issue. Now that you're all in the same company, you might run into each other every day."

"In that case, what can I do? Why does she have the opportunity but not me? Even if I'm not a director, being closer to her office would still be feasible," Rosetta said, looking at Mike with a pleading expression. Mike found it somewhat strange.

"Are you coming to the company because of Sophia? Why do you want to be so close to her?" Mike curiously asked.

Rosetta glanced at Mike but didn't answer.

"I was in charge of procurement in my previous company. Do you think there's a suitable role for me?" Rosetta asked.

Mike thought carefully. Sophia's office was relatively quiet and had a close relationship with the CEO. Since this Miss Jones also had a family connection with the CEO, why not arrange their offices nearby? Although they wouldn't be in the same department, it shouldn't be a problem, and it wouldn't have a significant impact on work.

After all, they were both important figures related to the CEO, and it wouldn't be wise to offend them.

"Alright, Miss Jones, I will arrange everything according to your request," Mike agreed.

"Really? Thank you. Let me treat you to dinner tonight," Rosetta said gratefully.

"Work is over. Let's go home," Ethan called out from outside Amelia's office.

Amelia nodded and quickly tidied up before picking up her bag and walking over.

"Today, I signed the contract. I wonder if they can complete the task on time."

As they walked, they discussed work. Work-related topics became part of their conversation from that day onwards.

"Don't worry. Daniel is someone who keeps his word. There shouldn't be any problems," Ethan reassured.

Once she got into the car, her moods were still quite good. She had signed her first contract today, and there was a small sense of pride and joy.

"Should we celebrate?" Ethan suggested.

"Go to Chinchol Manor? Sure, let's enjoy a good meal," Amelia agreed.

The car sped away, and as Amelia looked out the window at the scenery, she felt that life was even more vibrant and colorful. Perhaps it was because of the busy nature of their work that it held more value.

"Is your cousin going to be your secretary?" Amelia couldn't help but ask. She wanted to know if her speculation was correct and if Ethan's decision aligned with her own thoughts.

"You found out? That's just a flight of fancy," Ethan replied, turning his head to glance at Amelia and casually dismissing the idea.

Amelia nodded. "Before she came to see you, she came to me and offered to be my secretary. I was also surprised."

"To be your secretary?" Ethan turned his head again to look at Amelia and shook his head.

"It's better for you to handle things on your own."

Amelia paused for a moment, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Since you know that we are both inexperienced, if I can be a director, maybe she is also suitable."

Women often say things they don't mean. Although she said this on the surface, deep down she wasn't happy about it. She hoped that she would be the exception, that Ethan would only grant her special privileges. Others wouldn't have such privileges, making her feel unique.

Ethan let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "I've already asked Mike to arrange another position for her. Being a director is not suitable for her. She doesn't have the ability."

Amelia didn't feel surprised or disappointed after hearing this. She simply made a soft "hmm" sound and nodded.

"We're here. Let's get off the car."

One after the other, they walked into Chinchol Manor.

It seemed quite lively with people coming and going, all dressed decently. Most likely, these were business people, at least wealthy individuals. The expenses here were high, several times more than outside.

"You think about how much money the owner of this place earns every day. Look at the crowd here, they have a high social standing," Amelia commented as she and Ethan sat in the private room, looking around and discussing.

"Well...are you interested to know?"

Ethan looked at Amelia, his lips curling up in a faint smile. His deep eyes emitted a glimmer, as if gold was sparkling.

Unexpectedly, Amelia, being focused on her career, became interested in money.

"I never expected that when businessmen hear the word 'money,' their eyes would light up. It really is a characteristic of a merchant," Amelia remarked, taking a sip of juice and setting the cup down with a smile.

Ethan shook his head. "You shouldn't say that. I just found it strange that you suddenly became interested in money."

As they were happily chatting, Hodgkin approached with a smile on his face, nodding slightly towards Ethan.
