After that, Elizabeth could not hear the argument clearly. Her mind at that moment was only on Gwyneth's injury on her waist. The anesthesia was starting to take effect, and she could only feel her mind becoming foggy.Her thoughts drifted to the fire from many years ago. She knew about the fire and even saw it with her own eyes. However, the person who saved Liam was not her.She shut her eyes tightly with her brows furrowed. She wanted to remember the face of the girl back then. Besides the mangled injury on her waist, her features and eyes slowly became more apparent.Elizabeth felt she could not breathe, as if she had finally been made aware of something, 'I didn't... I didn't expect that the girl back then would be Gwyneth...''No, I mustn't let Liam know of this truth. Never,' Elizabeth thought.The effect of the anesthesia gradually made her thoughts frozen at that moment. She slowly closed her eyes, but all that was left in her mind was Gwyneth's look of victory.At the s
After Gwyneth finished speaking, she sized up Judy's attire as if she just remembered something, "Would you look at that? I forgot. Regardless of what I said, you are still considered a manager. This is saddening; how can you not know any manners?""Gwyneth! What do you mean!" Judy had originally come in with rage since Gwyneth had come unannounced and became the CEO of the Glen Corporation.As a result of the back and forth, she noticed that she could not follow Gwyneth's train of thought. Gwyneth then said, "How could a manager not know that they can only enter the CEO's office after knocking and getting permission?"As she said this, Gwyneth got up and walked to the front of Judy. She looked at the nametag pinned on Judy's suit and huffed, "My good sister, you truly are something."If Gwyneth had said anything else, Judy would not have reacted. However, this sentence made her face flush red from anger. In Gwyneth's sentence, she had implicitly and explicitly mocked her lack of a
Hearing this, Wanda abruptly lifted her head and looked at Gwyneth with a face full of surprise. Some teardrops remained at the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful yet cute."Why? Are you not willing?" asked Gwyneth. She took a liking upon seeing Wanda's current expression, stepped forward, and blinked her eyes."But, Ms. Glen, I've just graduated recently and am only here as an intern. I..."This young lady was clearly terrified by Gwyneth and could not even speak properly. In Wanda's eyes, if she did not experience this first-hand, this must be a dream too good to be true."I know, I know. Just tell me if you're willing to or not," said Gwyneth with her arms crossed. She continued to exude her own unique charisma toward Wanda."O-Of course, I'm willing to. But I don't know what to do in that position and would burden you, Ms. Glen.""Wouldn't everything be fine with just an 'I'm willing to'?"Hearing a satisfactory reply, Gwyneth took Wanda by the wrist and entered the
Bianca was busy thinking as she lightly patted Judy's back to calm her down. After a while, the light in her eyes suddenly lit up."That's right, baby girl. Mommy just remembered something your father told me a while back.""What is it? I don't want to know anything else except for the company's daily business."Judy calmed down after her tantrum as if she had vented most of her anger and no longer wanted to talk. In the end, Bianca leaned closer to Judy's ear, cupped her hands between her mouth and Judy's ear, and softly whispered to her."Dear daughter of mine, let me tell you. That Gwyneth's CEO position may not be for long."Judy suddenly got excited from hearing this and immediately grabbed Bianca's hands to reconfirm what she had heard."Really?! What happened?""Your father told me a few days ago that he was coming up with a plan with the directors of Glen Corporation to set up Gwyneth."Bianca could not help but reveal her excitement after saying that. She explained the
"Tell the Board of Directors that the meeting will start at two o'clock, afternoon, sharp in the meeting room." Wanda nodded and was about to head out to prepare the order but was held back by Gwyneth."How is it? How are you coping with your first day as a secretary?"Gwyneth's expression had now returned to her gentle demeanor. She was chatting casually with Wanda as if nothing had happened in the first place. Wanda gave a bitter smile as she heard the question."Ms. Glen. I only started this role about two hours ago. That's why...""Right. You seem fine these past two hours..."Wanda received praise so easily and did not know how to respond. She could not help but think that her days at the company would be full of trials and would definitely not be boring. With the remaining half an hour, Gwyneth took Wanda by the wrist and taught her to brew coffee.Gwyneth had done it with a few reasons in mind. Firstly, it was to let Wanda get used to the feeling of working for her. Second
After interacting for the past two days, Gwyneth could feel that Wanda was a quiet young lady, and her sudden promotion to become the CEO's secretary made her try her best to erase her presence even more. Then again, her sudden outburst, excited over one of the company's projects, surprised Gwyneth."Do you know this place?" asked Gwyneth. Then, she saw Wanda turn around to close the large door to the meeting room like a thoughtful person would."My hometown is in Glacier Lake, Ms. Glen."Wanda spoke as she frowned, feeling conflicted. After all, she had just got promoted to secretary but was unsure if what she said would be accepted. Gwyneth was quite surprised when she heard what was said since coincidence doesn't happen so easily."Does that mean you are familiar with the situation at Glacier Lake?""Yes, I'm very familiar with it. That's why I felt that the project is unsuitable."Gwyneth was not surprised at what Wanda had said since she knew the project was as simple as ima
With a leisurely mood, Gwyneth slowly walked from the outer circumference of Glacier Lake into the heart of it. She gradually noticed a problem. When she greeted the locals and asked about interesting hangout spots nearby, they would happily reply. Still, they would change their expression and leave the conversation without reason whenever the topic of the project development project was mentioned.Gaspard's men, on the other hand, would always tail her from a distance away."Why are they following us, Ms. Glen?" asked Wanda. She felt uncomfortable, probably from having been tailed for the first time. However, Gwyneth acted as if nothing had happened. She lightly smiled and intentionally raised her voice, "Our colleagues from the marketing department, at their own expense, came to survey the development to ensure everything is flawless. Where else would you find someone as responsible as this?"After listening to Gwyneth, Wanda blinked a few times, 'Why does it sound so uncomfortabl
Gwyneth clenched her fist and coldly stared at the people that had just left. It seemed like she needed to fire some people once things were settled here. She snorted, turned on her phone, saw the location Wanda sent her and left.When she walked from the outer circumference of Glacier Lake into the heart, she saw Wanda standing at the side of the road, waiting for her."Why aren't you waiting inside? The night here is quite chilly.""I'm afraid Ms. Glen would be unable to find the way..."Gwyneth lightly chuckled when she saw Wanda speak up with an embarrassed demeanor. The two went toward a cafe with each other's arm around the other's shoulder. Gwyneth found many people gathered in a discussion when she opened the door."Ms. Glen, these are some locals from around Glacier Lake that manages the area around it," whispered Wanda into Gwyneth's ears, still feeling slightly nervous.She had no confidence in how the situation would turn out, although she had convinced these people t
