Hugh stated her hovered paze bot by’t press further Tilliske you hone 

The night stretched on the city as Serena returned to Crestview Buy 

Just as she was done freshening up her phone rang. It was her assistant, Natalie Franklin 

“Ms. Jansen, there’s a company looking to pitch a collaboration. It’s a newly established firm, and they’re in a rush, insisting on meeting at Jansen Group tomorrow at 9:00 am 

“They didn’t disclose the name of their representative, and the project value is quite large. It seems risky. Should I turn them down?” 

After Sarah stepped down, bet assistant naturally became Serena’s assistant.
