"Finn can connect with you when he has time. What’s your expected salary? You can discuss it with him personally," Justin said seriously.
Finn was speechless. Hailey Hale looked quite ladylike today, but he couldn’t shake his deep-rooted impression of her as a stubborn, unreasonable girl. Could she be reliable at work?
What’s CEO Kingston thinking?
On a stage surrounded by flowers, the girl happily snapped her fingers and said, "Thank you!" Then, she bowed deeply to Justin Kingston—
"From now on, I’m also a member of Kingston Group, so I want to enjoy today’s benefits!"
Justin smiled, thinking, "Do you really need this much money?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novęlfire.net
"I mean it, I want to enjoy it!" Hailey looked at him.
Justin’s demeanor remained steady, "Mm."
Mia Lane stood not far away, tilted her head back, and downed her drink to soothe her surprise.
The company changed its deputy CEO without even holding a press conference. Five seconds later, the news was everywhere, sparking discussions online.
Justin walked off the stage and approached her.
Mia met his gaze, remaining still and elegant as a lily under the moon, with shadows cast long and slanted on the ground by the sunlight...
Countless journalists raised their cameras at her, capturing frame after beautiful frame.
Justin gently wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
Her face was calm, "You didn’t even ask if I agreed."
"I’ll discuss it with you when we get home." He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and then brushed her hair.
Mia thought, "It’s already announced, what is there to discuss?"
"Actually, I’ve been deciding this for a while," Justin said to her, "I planned to talk it over with you, but Monica Usher stirred things up today, and I couldn’t hold back."
"I hope that from now on, you consult me before announcing anything," she looked up at him, her eyes serious.
"Alright," Justin nodded solemnly, "I promise I’ll do that."
The scene was harmonious, everyone seemed happy, and people praised how a good marriage could change someone.
Whenever Mr. Kingston was with Miss Lane, there was always a smile on his lips.
"Mr. Kingston, can we take a photo with you?" Two village women approached, and they weren’t shy at all.
Justin didn’t hesitate, "Of course you can." He seemed very willing.
"Village chief, move over, please."
Then, they stood on either side of Justin, took out their phones, and snapped selfies.
Not only did Justin not mind, but he cooperated, making a peace sign.
Justin was incredibly handsome, the kind of looks rarely seen, so everyone, regardless of age or gender, eagerly wanted a photo with him.
All villagers were treated by Justin as Mia’s family, welcoming everyone with open arms.
Sometimes, villagers would pull Mia into the group photo too, forming a line to take pictures as if meeting a big star.
This caused envy and jealousy among other guests attending the wedding.
"Why is CEO Kingston not refusing? Isn’t he the one who hates photos?"
"Yeah, he doesn’t like people getting close to him, but look at all these people hanging onto his arms!"
"What should I do? I want a picture with CEO Kingston too."
"Want to go together?"
Two stylishly dressed socialites encouraged each other, their hearts filled with anticipation as they walked toward Justin.
The villagers, men and women, young and old, surrounded Justin, continuously snapping selfies.
Until they were satisfied with their pictures, they finally dispersed happily...
"CEO Kingston, can we take a photo with you?" The two socialites asked eagerly.
Justin’s expression was gentle, "Sorry, I’m a bit tired." He said, embracing Mia’s shoulder and leading her away.
