“Still not call me grandpa?” Cassius was not angry, but he seemed to have some regrets. The girl was so stubborn that no one could do anything about it. Good mannered as she was, she refused to call him Grandpa anyway.
Cassius gestured Sylvie to get in the car, Sylvie did not answer, but said, “Actually, you don’t have to go with me. I can go there by myself!”
“I just want to see you. Why are you moving out of his house?” Cassius knew that she had moved out the next day when Sylvie moved to Sunshine Residential Area. “Sylvie, do you know that in fact, people need to make hard efforts to achieve something or achieve certain goals. In this process, many precious wealth will be lost. However, if we insist on it, the goal in my heart will be achieved. You shouldn’t have moved out of the Hughes’s House so early! ”
Sylvie was stunned. The door was closed by the driver from outside, and then returned to the car. Manager Edward sat up front, leaving so much space in the back for Sylvie and Patriarch. “If I say I’ll divorce him, will you be disappointed?” she asked.
Cassius smiled and did not answer the question. “You are not afraid I will not help him?” he asked back.
“I think it will take not long for the Hughes to regain his energy with his ability, and he will certainly develop himself. Maybe, when he is fully fledged, he will not need your help!”
“Sylvie, the Hughes needs continuing capital!” Cassius said, “In a short time, Marley will not divorce you!”
“I don’t want to mind these business. I’ll report them now. Do you want me to be his secretary? If you want me to learn something, you can let me go to the Mccarthy. There is no need for me to stay in the Hughes. Sylvie didn’t want to be around Marley all the time.
Cassius just smiled with deep meaning, and there was a little uneasy on his wrinkled face.
The car soon arrived at the Hughes building, which was built when Marley took over the family business for the first time. Later, for some reason, he was forced to resign as president and the enterprise was taken over by his uncle, which led to the overall defeat of today.
The building was about 69 stories high.
“Edward, go up with Sylvie to get in touch with Marley. Tell him that I will agree all his requirements and he needs to take care of Sylvie!” Cassius said to the Manager Edward in the front row.
“Yes, chairman!” Manager Edward nodded respectfully and got off the car.
Sylvie said to Mr. Patriarch before she got off the car, “I never want to be a pawn. I agreed you because you are the father of that person who gave birth to me with Sadie. I feel that I owe them in my last life, so I will pay back this life and I will refuse to be a pawn!”
Cassius was slightly surprised and laughed, “Sylvie, I is very happy that you’re tough!”
Prickles?
Sylvie was stunned, thinking of seeing Cassius for the first time. She was sharp-tongued and said that she would not be the granddaughter of the Mccarthy. But she was only 17 years old. Her guardian was Sadie, who just sold her. She was hiding. The appearance of Cassius protected her and she was not found by Sadie. At that time, the old man also looked at her and smiled, “Yes, I like you very much. I like the child with a strong personality!”
Sylvie was a little surprised by what he said, closed her mouth and said with a serious expression, “Since you are not very old now, maybe you can find an agent pregnant mother by artificial insemination to have an heir! Why do you have to make things difficult for me? I don’t like doing business at all!”
“Ha ha ha…” When he heard the words, Cassius laughed, “Girl, are you telling a cold joke?”
Sylvie didn’t not laugh, but the Manager Edward had a urge to laugh but he didn’t dare to. Sylvie continued, “Well, you can think about this. Ancient emperors with your age are able to have children!”
With that, Sylvie looked at Manager Edward. “Manager Edward, let’s go!”
After that, there was a lot of laughter from Cassius. Sylvie thought that he truly saw her through and believed that she could take over the Mccarthy. But she was not a kind of person by nature. She just wanted to live a plain and simple life.
As soon as they entered the building, the receptionist saw her and Manager Edward with complicated eyes. They glanced at Sylvie and said respectfully, “Good morning!”
“Please call me Miss Sylvie!” Sylvie said in a flat tone.
“Yes! Miss Sylvie, good morning!”
At this time, Manager Edward said, “is Mr. Hughes here?”
“Yes! The president has been here for an hour. He specially tells us that you can go to the 69th floor and take the special elevator directly!” The receptionist had brought them to the special elevator.
But Sylvie refused, “Thanks, we’ll just take the ordinary elevator!”
She just wanted to work here as a normal staff.
“Miss Sylvie, please don’t make things hard for us, the president orders…”
“Miss Sylvie, let’s take the special elevator. It’s urgent!”
Sylvie nodded.
In the elevator, neither of them spoke. Sylvie dressed like white collar employees, in a white shirt, black trousers. She was full of vigour but also looked very old schooled with a big satchel.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, her eyes were attracted by a young man. The man smiled at her and asked kindly, “Miss Sylvie? You’re so young? Hi, Manager Edward!”
He was in a suit. He shook hands with Manager Edward while Sylvie was in a daze.
“It’s you, Mr Coope! Long time no see. You are still so handsome! Well? You are working for Mr. Hughes?” Manager Edward said kindly.
With a gentle smile, Tyler looked at Sylvie, who looked calm. He said, “Please call me Tyler. I am the special help of Marley now. Miss Sylvie, Manager Edward, this way please!”
Tyler took them to the president’s office, knocked down the door, and a low voice came from inside. “Come in!”
When he opened the door, Sylvie looked up and saw the tall figure behind the big chair. He was sitting at the table, busying himself with his laptop. Seeing them coming in, he looked at them with sharp eyes.
Marley’s eyes stayed on Sylvie for about two seconds and fell on Manager Edward. Pointing to the sofa next to him, he said, “Please have a sit, Manager Edward! ”
Manager Edward nodded and said, “Mr. Hughes, Mr. Chairman of the Board asked me to send Sylvie over. We my trouble you for taking care of her!”
“Well, Sylvie is my wife. Go back and tell Mr. Chairman of the Board that I will try his best to teach Sylvie!” Marley said slowly without standing up. He said politely, “Excuse me, I am dealing with some things, please wait a moment!”
“No, I will not disturb Mr. Hughes. I’ll go downstairs first!” Manager Edward nodded to everyone and left politely.
“Well, Manager Edward, take care! Marley signaled to Tyler to see him off.
Sylvie stood there, watching Manager Edward and Tyler leave. For a while, only Marley and her were left in the whole large office.
He lowered his head, busying himself with work.
The office was luxurious and spacious. A bookshelf covered an area of a whole wall, on which there were many books. There was a desk for office work in front of the bookshelf, and a laptop was on the top. The position where he sat was on the left. It was a huge desk for the boss and a large class chair. The door was decorated with the sign board of “President’s room”.
Sylvie stood near the door and looked around, waiting for his orders and reporting. But he didn’t speak at all, and she was motionless. After for a few minutes, he was still occupied with the documents with his head down, regardless of her. She asked, “Mr. Hughes, where should I go?”
Marley did not speak, tapped on your keyboard as if he did not hear her.
Sylvie waited a while and stopped asking seeing that he had no intention of answering her.
After a few minutes, Marley finished his work. Feeling her eyes, he raised his head with his hands crossed, and looked directly at Sylvie. “Are you sure you want to be a secretary?” he asked.
Sylvie nodded after hesitating for a moment.
“Why?” he asked again.
“I like it!” she replied.
“I don’t like secretaries who lie!” He began typing again. “If not competent for a job, I suggest you not to do it!” he said.
“How do you think I am not competent without letting me try?” She could not help but asked. After realizing that her actions were inappropriate, she immediately lowered her head and looked at her toes. “I will work hard!”
He stopped typing, looked up at her, and smiled, “It’s OK to have a determination, Secretary Sylvie, please help me clean the office.”
“My job is to clean the office?” she asked in surprise.
“Yes!” Marley said in a serious tone.
“Is there a cleaner?” As far as she knew, there were cleaners.
“They are only responsible for the outside cleaning. You need to help me to sort out the bookcase. The machine documents are confidential.”
His reason did make sense, but Sylvie thought he had a purpose. But she could only say, “How to clean it. Please make it clear to me!”
At this time, Tyler came in.
Marley looked up and immediately said, “Please tell her how to clean my office!”
Tyler was a little shocked, and he immediately understood, and then looked at Sylvie. “Secretary Sylvie, let me tell you what you should know…”
Sylvie took notes of every word of Tyler, then took the towel and basin from him, went to the bathroom to get water, which was her first day of work, becoming a cleaner.
She put the bag on the sofa in the president’s room and walked out of the door, and Tyler immediately asked Marley in a low voice, “Is it too inhuman for you to do this? How can she get on?”
