Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1106
As Xavier was staring at Bob, the latter quickly responded, “Yes, Mr. Jackson has notified me. You can leave the office now and focus on recording Mr. Jackson’s daily schedule.”
Huh? Follow Xavier around and record his itinerary? But I’ve just accepted the assignment and didn’t have sufficient time to confirm my assistants. Is it okay to start working on this project now?
Xavier gave him an approving nod. However, seeing that Hannah was in doubt, he gestured for Bob to convince her.
“Oh yes, Hannah, I’ve communicated with Jim about his new role. He’s willing to work with you on this interview. Since he’s quite experienced in this aspect, I’m sure he’ll be of great help to you.” Bob faked a smile. How should I report to the top management about Jim’s new pay scale?
Jim had a good portfolio in terms of interviewing company presidents. Teaming him up with Hannah was a natural thing to do. However, Jim was reluctant to accept the role. Bob had to lure him with a lucrative package in order not to disappoint Xavier. In the end, Jim agreed on the condition that his salary was doubled.
Hannah was over the moon to learn that Jim had agreed to be her assistant. I was still thinking of a way to talk to him about this. The amount of his monthly published work is triple of mine. Making him my assistant was a dream. Who would want to work under someone less capable? It’s great that Mr. Dijon has managed to get him on board.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Dijon.”
Seeing a smile appearing on Hannah’s face again, Xavier uttered, “Indeed, thank you, Mr. Dijon.”
Bob was not born yesterday. Naturally, he knew the underlying meaning of Xavier’s words.
Courteously, he replied, “Don’t mention that, Mr. Jackson. It’s only right to render support to the talents undergoing continuous professional development. I’m sure you have a packed schedule ahead, Mr. Jackson. There’s nothing else on my side, so I’d better not take up too much of your time. I can’t afford to delay you any further.”
Hannah was completely baffled. I’m a great talent receiving training? How come I’m not aware of this?
“Haha… All right, Mr. Dijon. I shall make a move now. I’ll treat you to a good lunch one of these days.” Xavier left with Hannah after engaging in small talk.
