"This level of attractiveness is something no amount of surgery on those fresh-faced youngsters could achieve!" she lavishly praised Anton Miller. "That playful and disdainful look could totally charm the socks off anyone!"
Hailey Hale was watching his interview, having reached a break in her work.
Finn Morgan was staring at her intently, seeing her face full of admiration as she gazed at the screen, without even glancing up once.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, automatically tuning out any sound she made.
Until Hailey Hale excitedly slapped the office desk, startling Finn Morgan into looking at her again!
"I’m going to binge-watch his series tonight when I get home!" Hailey Hale was eager to catch the finale, she looked at Finn Morgan, "Do you like watching series? This one is really good!"
"Not really." His tone was somewhat cold, a strange discomfort brewing inside him.
"Ha! I didn’t used to like them either!" Hailey Hale continued sharing, "I got hooked on his looks, he’s simply too cool! Always feels like he’s playing himself. Do you know how fast his follower count is growing on Weibo now? Five million a day!"
"It’s work hours, Comrade Hailey Hale." Finn Morgan gently reminded.
"I know, I’m not a machine that runs 24/7." She laughed, "I already finished the morning tasks, with such high efficiency, you ought to give me a bonus!"
What a headache-inducing noise!
"Take these to the design department for Director Owen." Finn Morgan assigned her, "Wait for him to finish reviewing and write recommendations, then bring them back to me."
Hailey Hale frowned, "What if he’s really busy? Do I still have to wait for him to write his suggestions? Can’t I come back later?"
The two locked eyes, Finn Morgan replied, "No, I need them urgently."
She got up and walked toward him, "Alright, since you’re the Special Assistant, and I’m just a little assistant?"
Resigned, she picked up a thick stack of files from his desk and reluctantly left.
Who knows when Director Owen will be done, and then he has to write recommendations... He’s always so slow.
Hearing her footsteps fade away, Finn Morgan picked up his coffee for a sip. It was brewed by her, and although it should be a bit sweet, all he tasted now was bitterness.
Putting down the cup, his expression remained calm as if nothing had happened.
A press conference was taking place, with quite a grand setting.
President Lydia Ingram and Vice President Monica Usher both attended.
The two were about twenty years apart in age. Lydia Ingram’s black hair was streaked with silver, and her black suit effectively hid her unpleasantly large belly, remarkably giving her an air of vigor.
Monica Usher wore a dark blue business dress, exuding a posh and professional aura, with striking red lips. Under the spotlight, she regained her usual composure and confidence.
"Hello everyone." Monica Usher had a slight smile on her face, "Our R-Alan Group will be launching the ’True Love Series’ jewelry collection soon. The launch will be around the end of the year, with pre-orders accepted."
The audience burst into enthusiastic applause!
Then she began explaining the design concept and what differentiates this series from previous ones, her words captivating everyone’s intense interest.
Kingston Group, CEO’s office.
Two senior executives knocked and entered, "Special Assistant Morgan, where is CEO Kingston?!"
"What’s up?" Finn Morgan looked up, his voice gentle, "He’ll be back soon."
"Have you seen the news?" one of them hurriedly said, "R-Alan Group just held a press conference, Monica Usher announced they’re launching the ’True Love Series,’ completely copying our design concept and presale method!"
Finn Morgan hadn’t seen it, but he remained very composed, "No worries, we’ll revise our plan." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novèlfire.net
"Is that Kingston’s intention?" Executive A frowned, "Already got a strategy in place?"
