After processing a few reports, Monica Usher arrived at the president’s office door, knocked, and then stepped inside.
Seated at the desk, Lydia Ingram saw her, and his typically stern face suddenly broke into a smile as he said to his assistant, "Joe, you may leave now."
"Alright, President Ingram."
Joe turned around to leave, pausing to salute Monica Usher as he passed by, "Good day, President Usher," and hurried away.
After Joe departed, Monica Usher paused, looked across the desk at Lydia, "No need to avoid him, isn’t he one of your trusted aides?"
Lydia Ingram, with his cunning ways, surely follows the principle of trusting a person completely if employing them.
"It doesn’t matter." The older man chuckled, "I just thought when we communicate, the atmosphere could be more casual, I was worried you’d feel pressured."
"No." Monica Usher confronted directly, "I feel pressured when alone."
Their gazes met, Lydia Ingram seemed to grasp her meaning after two seconds.
This inevitably reminded him of his ten marriages...
"I’m just here for work. I don’t want others to misunderstand, nor do I want any gossip." Monica Usher stood there, saying calmly, "So no matter what we talk about in the future, Joe can and must be present. Between you and me, there’s no need for anything beyond work to discuss."
Lydia Ingram, hearing these words, for the first time found this woman somewhat intriguing. It seemed to pique his interest.
He hadn’t thought about it much, yet she laid it out clearly!
"Why are you laughing?" Monica Usher looked at him, underscoring, "This is a serious matter, I hope President Ingram will treat it seriously."
"I laugh because you’re quite imaginative, I’m old enough to be your father; I never even dared think along those lines." Lydia Ingram remained amused, because Monica Usher’s demeanor always refreshes him.
No man dislikes working with a beautiful woman.
"Alright, enough of this irrelevant stuff. Did President Usher come to discuss issues?" Lydia Ingram put aside everything at hand, leaned back in his chair, and his expression turned serious.
For Monica Usher, he always poured out his full patience; confronting Justin Kingston was also something he enjoyed, as all men like challenging authority.
