Chapter 47


    On Monday, Ines officially started working at EM Enterprises. The director was a not-so-tall man


    with a friendly smile, looking easy to get along with. Since it was recruitment season at the end of


    the year and she had abundant experience, she was directly assigned to a project team.


    "Ms. Galeana, I''ve looked into your previous work experience, and you''re an excellent auditor. I


    believe you won''t let me down." The director said.


    "Thank you." Ines replied.


    A colleague from the HR department took Ines straight to meet the project manager, who would be


    her direct supervisor. She was a woman in her forties, dressed in a ck suit that couldn''t hide her


    attractive figure. Despite her heavy makeup, the fatigue on her face was evident. Her desk was full


    of documents, and she was sketching on them with a pen. She only looked up at Ines when she


    came in.


    For some reason, although she was smiling, Ines felt the hostility behind the smile. The project


    manager nced at her and then continued looking at her work, talking to Ines at the same time,


    "Ms. Galeana, I know you have work experience and have been an ountant before, but since


    you''ve joined my team, you need to follow mymands. That''s the rule in our group."


    Ines nodded, "I understand." She was mentally prepared for a fresh start. "Our project team mainly


    audits the financial statements of Eclipse Industries. Everyone in the team has been assigned


    specific tasks. The most urgent task at the moment is to send out confirmation letters. You need to


    personally go to the major banks to follow up on them. The time is ticking, since we have to submit


    the draft audit report this month, I hope you canplete all confirmations within the next two days


    and give me a detailed report."


    Ines looked at the thick pile of confirmation letters on the table, slightly frowning, but still epted


    the task, "I got it, Ms. Young. I''ll do my best toplete the task."


    Amelia Young looked up at Ines, her voice bing serious, "I think Ms. Galeana didn''t hear me


    clearly. I want a guarantee that the task will bepleted, not just an attempt. Can you take the


    responsibility if it affects the report''s deadline?"


    "I understand, Ms. Young." Ines said.


    "Then start your work. Other colleagues will give you more detailed instructions, and your desk is in


    the second room on the left." Amelia said.


    Ines picked up the pile of confirmation letters and left Amelia Young''s office. As soon as she sat


    down, her colleagues gathered around, introducing themselves, much friendlier than she had


    expected.


    "What did the manager assign you to do?"


    Ines pointed to the confirmation letters on the table, "These."


    Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Experienced colleagues knew that this


    workload was huge and not something one person could handle. An older man said, "Ines, don''t


    argue with her. She''s always been a hard worker."


    "It''s not without reason. I heard her husband cheated on her, and they''re getting a divorce. He


    wants custody of the kids, but she doesn''t agree. They''ve taken it to court, and she''s probably


    agitated and taking it out on the new girl," said a young girl in her early twenties, Kelly.


    "Kelly, don''t spread such rumors. If she hears you, there will be serious consequences."


    Kelly lowered her voice, "It''s true. I have a rtive who works at the courthouse, and she told me."


    ...


    Everyone was discussing the situation, but Ines remained silent. She was no longer a rookie and


    wouldn''t casually criticize her boss. People''s hearts wereplicated, and no one could see


    through others'' thoughts.

    Seeing that Ines didn''t say anything, everyone left and began their work.


    Ines roughly sorted out the materials at hand, nned a time-saving approach, and started running


    to different banks. She didn''t even have lunch, and by the end of the day, she hadpleted half of


    the task, finally breathing a sigh of relief. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled something


    delicious. Ethan''s suit jacket and briefcase were on the sofa, and following the aroma, she found


    him in the kitchen, wearing a white shirt and dark blue suit pants, cooking.


    This was the second time she had seen Ethan cook. His movements were as elegant as ever, and


    Ines felt very happy. The frustration she had experienced at work during the day instantly


    dissipated.


    She really was lucky to have the CEO of a multinational corporation personally cook for her.


    Hearing footsteps, Ethan turned and saw Ines standing at the door. His mood instantly improved,


    and he said softly, "Go wash your hands first, dinner''s almost ready."


    Ines nodded, "Okay."


    "It''s time for dinner." Ethan said.


    Ines smiled, "Thanks to our Mr. Meyer."


    Somehow, they had both gotten used to calling each other Mr. Meyer and Mrs. Meyer.


    The words sounded pleasant to Ethan, "Since you know I''ve worked hard, you better eat more."


    "Thank you." Ines said.


    "We''re husband and wife." Ethan said.


    "I understand, Mr. Meyer. I''m hungry. Can we start eating now?" Ines asked.


    Ethan ate gracefully, slowly, and very pleasingly. Ines was really hungry, and most of the food on the


    table ended up in her stomach.


    She felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "Have you always eaten so little, or are you still having


    stomach issues?" Her face showed embarrassment and deep concern. Ethan smiled and exined,


    "My stomach is fine, I just don’t eat that much."
