Miranda spoke up after Willow had signed, “We extend a warm welcome to you, Ms. Stewart. From now on, you’re a part of Southlake Corporation. If there are no exceptional circumstances, you can begin your work tomorrow.”

“Alright. Thank you, Ms. Barton!” Willow simply couldn’t contain her excitement.

“If that’s the case, why do you look so downcast?” Caspian was confused.

“I don’t know. It’s just a little hard to believe,” she said.

“Since you’ve gotten the job, let’s head home now,” Caspian said.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a good relationship with the CEO!” Willow said.
