CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie let go of Connor’s hand and told him to go and play in her office. After putting her bag down, she nodded at Joyce and said, “You’re here early today, Joyce.”

“Good morning! How was the meeting yesterday?” Joyce asked anxiously.

Natalie took out her notebook and passed it to her. “Here are the notes I made during the meeting. Take a look at them yourself.”

Hearing this, Joyce took the notebook from her and started reading through the notes. When she finished, she was so excited that she started clapping with joy. “That’s amazing! Nat, we have to enter this competition and win the right to represent our country!”

“Of course.” Natalie nodded.

“Well, I’ll go and sign us up, then.” With that, Joyce turned around and made a beeline for her own office.

The man smiled courteously and introduced himself. “I’m Mr. Alfred Moore’s assistant.”
