Chapter 41 How Well Do You Know Your Husband?
Mia''s expression changed, and her gaze toward Ste became different.
She really didn''t expect this!
If she put herself in Ste''s shoes, she would definitely prioritize her own selfishness.
After all, she wasn''t a saint.
"It seems that Ick the most basic judgment of human nature!" Mia smiled and said, "Ste, you''re
usually quiet, but your speech makes a lot of sense!"
"My judgment may not always be correct." Ste chuckled. "But Liam told me that one should never let
their guard down and should always be cautious. He also said that those who hold high positions have
gone through a very difficult process to get there, so they are far from being as simple as they appear."
"Oh, so has your husband be your life mentor?"

Mia originally meant it as a teasing remark, but Ste couldn''t stop boasting about her husband.
"Of course, Liam knows so much!" Ste couldn''t hide her pride. "Mia, you know what? I often see him
browsing foreign websites. He can read severalnguages, and he is interested in current politics and
economics!"
"What?" Mia also found it unbelievable.
Thinking back to when she first met Liam, she could feel the imposing pressure and strong aura
emanating from him. If she didn''t know that he had been in fights and even been to jail, she would have
thought he was an extraordinary figure.
"Ste, how much do you know your husband?"
Ste was taken aback. "Why are you asking this?"
Mia smirked and said, "Just casual conversation! You make him sound so amazing, so I''m curious
about him now!"
Ste smiled innocently, but then she realized that she didn''t know much about Liam. Besides knowing
about his "glorious past" and that he had no family, she didn''t know much else.
......
The next day, as soon as Ste went to the office, she was called into Benjamin''s office.
Ste felt a bit uneasy, but Benjamin smiled kindly at her and asked his secretary to bring her coffee.
He sat across from her, calmly observing her.
"So you''re Ste." Benjamin chuckled. "I''ve heard that there''s a talented person in the Sales
Department who secured a deal with Mr. Davis in just the second month of joining thepany. I''ve
always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got the chance!"
"Mr. Thompson, you tter me." Ste put down her coffee cup, maintaining a confident attitude.
"Actually, you can meet me whenever you want. But you''re usually busy, and my performance in the
Sales Department is not particrly outstanding."
Benjamin squinted his eyes and scrutinized her from head to toe again.
Ste not only looked beautiful but also spoke properly. Her few sentences were wless. She didn''t
embarrass him, nor did she show off her achievements. She was indeed a talented individual.
No wonder his niece was so wary of her.
But thepany was in need of talents right now. If he lost such a capable employee, it would be a
loss for thepany.
He could scheme against Ste anytime, but he couldn''t do it openly. He wanted her to suffer, but in the
eyes of others, it would be seen as thepany and the leader valuing her.
That was how he could achieve his goal.
Benjamin touched the gold ring on his hand and revealed a sly smile.
"Ste, the reason I called you here today is that I have a task to assign to you."
Ste looked up at him.
"Thepany has always wanted to march into the Emberfall market, and we''ve been nning for this
for years." Benjamin said casually, "But the Emberfall market is difficult to enter with manypanies
and limited profits. Everyone is eyeing it. Ourpany doesn''t have any special advantages, so we
can only watch others make money."
"Now, with two key members leaving the Sales Department and taking away many clients, the market
situation has be extremely challenging."
"So a few shareholders and I discussed it, and we decided to promote young people who are capable
and have a track record."
Ste furrowed her eyebrows, her heart pounding.
Benjamin smiled at her, a hint ofplexity flickering in his eyes. "Ste, we all agree that you are very
suitable for this position."
"Mr. Thompson, are you suggesting..."
"Those who can handle more tasks should bear more responsibilities." Benjamin emphasized each
word, "It''s most suitable for you to develop the Emberfall market."
Ste turned her eyes and suddenly felt a sense of unease in the bottom of her heart.
"We have all seen the several sales ns you have done before, and they are perfect." Benjamin
praised her. "Your performance speaks for itself, and your abilities are outstanding. Everyone doesn''t
want to miss out on such a talented person like you!"
"Ste, if the market development in Emberfall is sessful, the board of directors will not just let you
be a sales team leader. They will break the rule and promote you to the sales manager, recing
Daniel. What do you think?"
......
After walking out of Benjamin''s office, Ste took a few deep breaths to suppress her racing heart.
She patted her face, furrowed her eyebrows, and her mind went nk and chaotic.
She hadn''t been in the workce for long and had been handling everything based on instinct. She
can''t figure out what Benjamin was thinking. What game was he ying? Was she just a pawn or a
cannon fodder?
The position of sales manager was very tempting, and she also thought that developing the Emberfall
market was a challenging job.
But was this an opportunity or danger?
Ste sighed and wanted to go back to her desk to think it over. However, someone walked toward her
and sneered at her.
