Chapter 30


    William also came over and looked at Karen worriedly. Then he turned to look at May and said,


    "May, if you are excessively free, you can assist me with my proposal."


    May rolled her eyes and eximed discontentedly, "William, you only know how to protect Karen.


    What about protecting me?"


    William nced at Karen subconsciously and said, "Don''t talk nonsense."


    William knew that Karen was going to be married, however, he didn''te to work to ramble on


    about this. Perhaps he didn''t want to cause any trouble for Karen, holding on to ast shred of hope


    that she might still consider him a worthy man.


    Karen smiled and said, "All of you get back to work. Director Kevin will handle these things. It''s not


    our concern."


    Meanwhile, in the director''s office of Innovative Tech, Nick was reporting the situation to Kevin very


    carefully.


    He said, "Director Kevin, everything has been passed down ording to your instructions. We will


    let that Charlie Gook be arrogant for a while."


    Kevin''s slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk. After a long while, he said, "This is insufficient."


    Nick and Amelia took a look at each other. They had served Kevin for nearly ten years, but there


    were still asions when they couldn''t understand what Kevin was saying.


    Kevin had suddenly changed the topic out of nowhere. "I need an additional secretary."


    Innovative Tech was not that big apany. In addition to Nick and Amelia, Kevin had four other


    secretaries working in the director''s office, it ought to be sufficient.


    Now that Kevin had proposed to hire one more secretary, they understood what he had implied and


    they pondered upon it.


    Amelia immediately said, "Sure, sir, I''ll arrange for it."


    Soon, Amelia sent out an email to all employees, stating, "Director Kevin needs to hire a new


    secretary, who can handle workload immediately. The managers of all departments may suggest a


    suitable representative."


    As soon as the news came out, the female employees of various departments immediately became


    excited. They were eager to get the position of secretary to the director.


    Bing the director''s secretary was equivalent to climbing up into the highest ranks of the


    company. Perhaps something may happen between the secretary and the director. Even if nothing


    did happen, it would still bring joy to see his beautiful face every day.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Soon, the manager of the sales department, Sunnie, received a call from Amelia, asking, "Manager


    Olsen, is there a suitable candidate from your department?"


    Sunnie thought about all the employees in the department, and none of them came had experience


    in being a secretary. She answered honestly, "Special Assistant Amelia, my department really


    doesn''t have one."


    Amelia chuckled. "Are you sure, Manager Olsen?"


    Sunnie had been working in thepany for many years. She had be the manager of the


    sales department despite starting as an ordinary obscure employee. How could she have achieved


    this without the ability of being eloquent?


    Thus, she considered all the people in the room. When she thought of Karen, her eyes lit up.


    "Special Assistant Amelia, would you consider Karen?"


    At the other end of the phone, Amelia smiled earnestly. "Karen? Is that the Karen who was in


    charge of the Star Glow project previously?"


    Sunnie nodded. "Yes, that''s her."


    Amelia pretended to think for a while, as if she were trying to recall this person. After a while, she


    said, "I think she is very aplished. Allow her toe up and try."


    After hanging up the phone, Sunnie turned her head sideways to look at the office area outside her


    room, through the blinds. Everyone was whispering to each other, but only Karen was working hard.


    She had to admit that Karen was a truly capable assistant.


    In the past three years, she was always grounded, climbing up step by step, working hard, but


    never requesting credit.


    As Karen''s boss, Sunnie admired Karen''s ability and attitude.


    Nheless, Sunnie did not only acknowledge Karen''s hard work as how a boss would appreciate


    his or her employer. In her heart, she had a fear that her position as a manager might one day be


    reced.


    If she did not climb to a higher position before the day Karen bes truly outstanding, Sunnie


    likely to be reced by Karen.


    At present, she presided over Karen in terms of age and experience. But in other aspects, she did


    not dare say that she could surpass Karen’s abilities.


    Now, since Amelia, as the director''s assistant, took a fancy to Karen, it was a good thing for Sunnie


    to send Karen there.


    Sunnie picked up the phone and dialed the internal telephone on Karen''s desk. "Karen,e to my


    office."


    After receiving Sunnie''s call, Karen felt somewhat uneasy. But she still pretended that nothing was


    wrong and went into Sunnie''s office.


    Sunnie motioned for her to sit down, and then said, "You''ve read the internal email sent by Special


    Assistant Amelia just now, haven''t you?"


    Karen nodded. "I have."


    Sunnie added, "I have rmended you to her. Amelia also agreed. Proceed to pack up."


    Karen paused and said, "Manager, I''ve worked in the sales department for three years and still want


    to work under you."


    Being the secretary to the director meant that she had to face Kevin whenever she was at work.


    Karen did not want to do this.


    Sunnie looked hard at Karen, wanting to check if Karen shared the same thoughts as her. After a


    while, she said, "This matter has been settled. If you really don''t want to do it, you have to tell


    Special Assistant yourself."


    Karen also knew that it was not Sunnie''s decision ultimately, so she sent a message to Kevin upon


    leaving the manager''s room, "Kevin, I want to stay in the sales department."


    After sending the message, Karen did not get any reply, but it did not take long for thepany to


    receive another message. The matter of hiring a secretary has been suspended, there was no need


    for anyone to worry any longer about it.


    The other female employees who were eager to have an attempt were baffled. They thought about


    how this opportunity that had shown up out of nowhere vanished so quickly, making them extremely


    miserable.


    However, Sunnie couldn''t help but look out at Karen, sitting outside her room. With deep thoughts in


    her eyes, she pondered upon what had happened during the retreat at Ocean Vi previously.


    She was sure that Karen had someone powerful behind her, but she didn''t know whether this


    backer was the director himself, or the assistant to the director.


    Kevin suddenly wanted to transfer Karen to his office because he didn''t want to allow what


    happened yesterday to happen once more.


    After receiving Karen''s message, he wanted to respect Karen''s decision and did not want topel


    her to do anything.


    Karen was his wife, not his toys. They were equals, and neither of them had the right to make


    decisions for each other.


    After thinking about it, he dropped the idea of hiring another secretary, which surprised both Nick


    and Amelia.


    For many years, as long as Kevin made a decision, he had never wavered, but today, precedence


    had been broken, and because of such a small thing.


    However, there was nothing to be curious about. In the past, Kevin had been single. Now, he was a


    married man. It was normal for him to think about his wife.
