Chapter 11

Someone immediately retorted, "You want Ms. Gildon to be someone's secretary? Are you out of your mind?"

"Ms. Gildon is smart, capable, and stunning. With her impressive track record, which president wouldn't want her on their team? If she were to enter the job market, headhunters would be falling over themselves to snatch her up." Vespera simply smiled without responding.

In truth, they were underestimating how sharp headhunters could be. She had already received calls ten days ago, with recruiters subtly probing about her career plans. At the time, no one outside the company even had the slightest hint

that she was leaving Eclipse Group.

The conversation continued.

"Don't look down on the position of a secretary. We're talking about the chief secretary to the heir of the Tavian Group. That position gives access to Halewick's elite and powerful players. If she plays her cards right, her future is limitless."

"I heard about a secretary from an overseas company who was so exceptional

she got promoted to vice president within a few years. And guess what? She ended up marrying the president too."

"Heh, if that's the case, I might just apply myself!"

"Has anyone actually seen the heir of Tavian Group in person? Is he even good- looking?"

"Nope. Out of the four Reid siblings, only the eldest sister has ever appeared in public. The other three are pretty mysterious."

The conversation kept spiraling further off track.

Vespera couldn't help but laugh.

Watching them gush about romance made her feel like a jaded old nun who had long since seen through it all.

Love was something she would never touch again.

But when it came to her career... that was worth considering.

She had thought about starting her own business. The problem was that all her professional connections were tied to Luke. Once she cut ties with him, there would be no one left to give her any consideration.

She needed to build herself up first.

That night, she reached out to an elite socialite who thrived in high society, hoping

to get some information on Tavian Group and its mysterious heir.
