Lumma didn’t know that Adam Hills was Lucas, her husband whom she had only met once on the day they registered their marriage.
In the year Lucas was born, there was turmoil within the Hills family. To ensure the safety of the only heir, the Hills family gave him two identities.
His public name was Adam, and his private name, which only the Hills family knew, was Lucas Bergman.
Adam noticed the Lumma’s unconcealed gaze on him, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Aside from Adam’s identity as the president of Hills Group, his striking face alone has made countless women fall head over heels for him, which he finds rather repulsive.
Seeing this, Jane nudged Lumma gently and asked, “What are you waiting for?”
Lumma came back to her senses, calmed down, and said, “Mr. Hills, nice to meet you. My name is Lumma. I’ve been transferred to the headquarters of the Hills Group for less than a year.”
Lumma’s simple self-introduction was firm and confident, performing better than the other two earlier.
“Lumma?” Adam repeated her name silently, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Adam glanced at Lumma again, who had already shifted her gaze away, which made him feel pleased a little. Adam said, “She will be my secretary.”
Jane nodded and led the three of them out of the office. “Lumma, go move your things to the assistant’s office.”
“Okay.” Lumma returned to her workstation to pack her belongings.
The salary of working for the president was at least doubled. The three of them were winners after a lot of competitions, and they all wanted to get this opportunity.
In the end, this opportunity landed on the head of the inexperienced Lumma. The other two were somewhat unconvinced.
But Luna realized that Lumma’s abilities were good enough to take this job. And it was not right to deny her abilities only based on her inexperience and age.
Luna smiled and gave Lumma a hug. “Lumma, congratulations!”
“Thank you!” Lumma replied.
John was not so generous. He said sarcastically, “Luna, you should learn more in the future. It’s not that you can get promoted just because you’re capable at work. It also depends on your ability to seduce people.”
He didn’t name anyone, so anyone who answered was obviously guilty, so John thought Lumma couldn’t do anything to him.
Lumma looked at him coldly and said, “John, is Mr. Hills someone you can slander at will?”
John understood the deep meaning of Lumma’s words, and his face suddenly turned pale with fear.
Luna added, “John, it’s really immoral of you to slander a girl just because she’s better than you.”
“Luna, I have to leave first.” Lumma gave Luna a grateful look and left with the box in her arms.
When Lumma arrived at the office, Jane stared at her for a while and said, “Mr. Hills chose you today, but whether you can keep your job depends on your ability.”
As Jane spoke, she lowered her voice slightly as if she was warning Lumma. “Remember, Mr. Hills hates his subordinates who have designs on him. Don’t ruin your own future.”
Adam never showed up in front of the media. The public didn’t know what he looked like, but he had been on the list of the most desired men in Red Pine City for many years.
Lumma didn’t have any improper thoughts about Adam, but others might not believe her. It would be better for her to perform well at work in the future than explain anything “Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Shelton. I will keep it in mind.” Lumma replied.
Jane softened her gaze, feeling good about Lumma’s response. “I’m handing the job over to you now.”
There were many people in Hills Group’s secretary department, but only two people, Jane and Leonard Davies, worked as Adam’s special assistants. They have different duties.
