Emilia had heard from Julian that in the past years, some companies had tried to recruit Maisie and David who were both mature and competent after years of experience in the Hughes Group since president assistant, and secretary were not easy jobs for normal people.
Many companies promised to offer them high positions and salaries, but they remained untouched. They simply did their own job without requiring either higher ranks or higher salaries.
But of course, Julian treat them just as well, for he knew how important they were. With them by his side, the pressure was much relieved.
Later, Emilia texted Julian that Maisie agreed to return. Not long after, Julian called Maisie and told her that she could take the time to accompany Nancy first. Going to work could wait.
Besides, he also reminded her to think about her relationship with Ezra.
Maisie took all his suggestions.
Julian thought a while and eventually called Ezra.
"Maisie agreed to stay." He said succinctly.
Ezra exclaimed, "What?"
He added, "I don't know if Emilia's words worked, Maisie agreed not to go abroad anyway. I intend to let her come back to the Hughes Group."
Was it because of Emilia? What about all the effort Ezra had made?
He talked with her seriously in the morning, yet did not elicit a response from Maisie.
And now when Emilia talked with her, she agreed to stay?
Was that happiness or bitterness Ezra could not tell.
Julian added, "Now that she decided to stay, you'd better think about what you are going to do with her."
Then the phone was hung up. Ezra, who was currently at the company, felt depressed. In Maisie's eyes, he was even less important than Emilia.
He wanted to call her and complain about all that. But he dared not to.
Anyway, her decision to stay offered some repose for him. Otherwise, if she and his son lived abroad, it would be extremely inconvenient for him to salvage something.
At last, Ezra still called Maisie.
He hadn't seen her for the majority of the morning. Ezra missed Maisie, so he needed to speak to her under some disguise.
After Maisie picked up the phone, Ezra said gently, "I heard you are not going abroad?"
Maisie was a bit surprised by how fast he heard the news, but she answered as usual, "Yes."
He must have heard it from Julian. She never thought her boss could be so gossiping.
Ezra added, "It's good to live in Riverside."
Somehow, he failed to hold it back and hummed, "It seems Emilia's more important than me."
Maisie sensed the complaint in his tone and said, "Often, friends are more liable than men."
She didn't mean to provoke Ezra. She was just telling the truth.
Some women might simply revolve around men once they were in love or get married. They abandoned their friends and career and ended up with nothing once they were dumped.
