The next morning, Juliet arrived at the office just in time to find Avery talking to Melvin about hiring a spokesperson.
"Let me ask him when he will be free! I'll ask him out and talk to him in person," Avery said to Melvin. "There's no hurry. It's going to be New Year's soon so we can wait until next year."
"President Tate, the end of a year is the best opportunity to up-sales! Other firms are working hard toward it so we can't fall behind!" Melvin was focused on their sales. "Why don't you give me his contact number and I'll reach out to him. I promise not to disturb him while he's working."
"Let me think about it! You should get back to work for now! I need to talk to Juliet."
Melvin glanced at Juliet, before walking out.
Juliet closed the door behind him and walked toward Avery, before asking respectfully, "President Tate, what do you need to speak to me about?"
"Um... Nothing much, actually. I just made up an excuse to send him away." Avery took her thermal flask out from her bag and took a sip of water.
Slightly taken by surprise, Juliet proceeded to ask, "what will I do today, President Tate?"
Avery set her flask down and turned on her desktop. "I'll send you an email. Take a look later. Our annual dinner will be held half a month later so you need to work with the admin department to make sure everything goes smoothly. Come to me if you have any questions."
"Noted, President Tate. Anything else apart from that?"
"Focus on this for now. You've just joined us so I don't want to scare you off with too much work," Avery teased. "There are a lot of details to the annual dinner, too. You will know once you read the email."
"I feel even luckier now that you say that," Juliet said. "I submitted my resume to the Sterling Group at first and the human resources there told me that Tate Industries is hiring as well, which brought me here."
"We envy you! Juliet, work hard with President Tate. We are all depending on you!" Another secretary said.
"Yeah, Juliet. After your probation, the sky is literally the limit. Do you know Chad from Sterling Group? He was the former assistant to Elliot Foster. He worked under Elliot for a few years and he's now a vice president! You might get promoted, too, if you perform well!"
Juliet blushed and tugged her hair behind her ear.
"What's that on your wrist, Juliet? Is that a wristband?" Someone saw the wristband on her wrist and asked curiously.
