Chapter 795 Nothing Has Changed
Jocelyn, dressed in formal attire, exuded a perfectly business–like demeanor. “Mrs. Rainsworth, Ms. Quill, please, this way.”
“All right.”
She led the way, with Cecilia and Jessica following behind her.
Jessica nced around as they walked. Ever the social butterfly, she attempted to tter Jocelyn. “So, you’re Nichs‘ assistant? You’re so pretty.”
Jocelyn’s expression remained unchanged, just asposed and courteous as when they first met. “Thank you for thepliment.”
Jessica, unfazed by Jocelyn’s cool response, wasn’t embarrassed in the least.
She quickly caught up with her and continued, “What do you usually do at work? Are you in charge of managing Nichs‘ schedule? Can I reach out to you if there’s something I don’t understand in the future?”
Jocelyn, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her icy gaze locked onto Jessica’s face.
“Ms. Quill,” she responded calmly, “my job responsibilities don’t concern you. In the future, you’ll be the secretary to Mrs. Rainsworth. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’d suggest asking your direct supervisor.”
Jessica choked up.
Instead of continuing with the conversation, Jocelyn simply pressed the elevator button.
Cecilia had met Nichs‘ assistant before, but today was the first time she truly witnessed her professionalism. Jocelyn handled the situation impressively, leaving Jessica, known for her bold. and thick–skinned attitude,pletely speechless.
Upon reaching the elevator, Jessica moved beside Cecilia and, without hesitation, began speaking. “Cecilia, don’t you think this assistant is incredibly rude, acting all high and mighty?”
Although she had lowered her voice, everyone in the elevator could hear her, including Cecilia, who relied on a hearing aid.
Needless to say, Jocelyn heard herints too.
Cecilia knew Jessica was hoping she’d step in on her behalf, but she wasn’t foolish. Why should I offend Nichs‘ assistant to defend her? Besides, it was clear Jocelyn wasn’t the onecking manners in the first ce.
“I think Ms. Wright has a point. You should really reflect on your own issues.” Cecilia’s remark left Jessica speechless once again.
Meanwhile, Jocelyn shot Cecilia a brief, approving nce.
Just moments ago, she had expected Cecilia to side with Jessica.
They then headed to the top floor.
Cecilia recalled when Nathaniel was the manager of the Rainsworth family business, the CEO’s office had been located there. Apart from the assistant secretary, all other departments were on the floors below. I wonder if that arrangement is still the same.
As the elevator doors slid open, they finally arrived.
Stepping out, Cecilia quickly noticed that theyout had remainedrgely unchanged.
“Mrs. Rainsworth, Mr. Nichs has arranged for your future office to be set up next to his,” Jocelyn exined, leading her toward the CEO’s office. “You’ll be taking over the duties of the former secretary. This setup will make it easier for you to get a handle on thepany’s operations. The workload isn’t too demanding. You’ll only need to work about three hours a day. And if anythinges up, you’re free to leave whenever you need.”
While Cecilia remained silent, Jessica suddenly chimed in, “You only have to work three hours a day and can leave whenever you want? That’s even more rxed than being the boss. How amazing is that?”
Cecilia ignored her and turned to Jocelyn instead. “Aren’t we heading to my office now, Ms. Wright?”
“Mr. Nichs mentioned he’d like you to stop by his office when you arrived,” Jocelyn replied..
“All right then.”
Arriving in front of the CEO’s office, Jocelyn gave the door a knock.
“Come in.” A calm, warm voice called from inside.
Only then did Jocelyn push the door open, gesturing for Cecilia to enter.
When Jessica tried to follow, Jocelyn stopped her. “Ms. Quill, Mr. Nichs has only permitted Mrs. Rainsworth to enter. It would be best if you wait outside.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Hearing this, Jessica, who had already taken a step forward, quickly stepped back.
