“And that’s just my basic salary. I haven’t included my bonus and other fringe benefits,” Lucy remarked with a smile. “If I were to include all the extra perks I get, I’d say I make about two million a year.”
“Oh, God! I’m so jealous of you.” Charlotte couldn’t help but envy her.
“Don’t ever underestimate a secretary’s work. You’ll have a bright future ahead as long as you do your job well,” Lucy advised sincerely. “If you want to make it in life, you have no one else but yourself to rely on. Don’t waste your days idling.”
Hearing that, Charlotte felt a little guilty. It’s true that I haven’t really been ambitious about my career all this while.
“Do your best! Your father was an incredible man, so I know you’ll shine just like he did!”
“You knew my father?” Charlotte was surprised.
“Who hasn’t heard about the president of Windt Corporation? Besides, your last name is pretty uncommon, and there’s something extraordinary about you. It’s not hard to tell whose daughter you are.”
“Oh.” Charlotte didn’t want to recall too much of the past.
“We’re almost there. Have a look at the documents and familiarize yourself with them.”
“Okay.”
After a two-hour drive, they finally arrived at Ashenville Garden.
Lucy drove straight toward the golf course and got off the car with Charlotte.
A staff member came over to welcome them. Knowing that they were here to deliver Zachary’s documents, the man treated them with the utmost respect and immediately brought them to their boss.
Charlotte had been here before; her father was once a regular client who would often take his guests here too.
“Is that Mr. Nacht over there?” Lucy asked, pointing to the golf course nearby.
Charlotte looked over and noticed the familiar figure which belonged to Zachary, whereas right next to him was… That must be Sharon.
“Ugh…” Lucy’s expression stiffened as she turned to Charlotte awkwardly. “I’ll send the documents over on my own. Wait for me here.”
No one else might have noticed it, but Lucy had long been aware of the fact that Charlotte and Zachary shared a special relationship.
Charlotte had been promoted directly to the president’s office under Ben’s personal instructions too, and everything else that transpired after that was taken care of by the man himself.
