When Lysander heard the news, a profound feeling of reassurance washed over her. She admitted, with a hint of nervousness in her voice, “Actually, before I joined Thorne Constructions and Energies, I didn’t have any previous experience in managing a company. I’m afraid you might have to bear with me as we move forward.”

Monica responded with a gentle laugh, her tone filled with encouragement, “Isn’t everyone starting from the beginning at some point? It’s perfectly fine. Mr. Guerra has already given me instructions. I’ll do my utmost to support you.”

The assistant’s salary was already considerable, and after the increase, it was comparable to the salaries of executives at some major firms.

Upon reviewing the total compensation, Lysander was momentarily lost for words due to the substantial amount. However, Monica’s assurances allowed her to find some temporary peace of mind. After all, it was unlikely that anyone would have issues with receiving such a generous financial package.

With Monica’s assistance, Lysander found that her work efficiency in the mornings had greatly improved. managed to complete her tasks ahead of schedule, tasks that were initially planned to finish by noon, and then she seized the opportunity to take a short break and visit the restroom.

As she was about to exit, she overheard several female employees conversing behind the partition.

“I was completely drained today. I thought I could finally relax until the year’s end, but our department head has started showing up every day. There’s no chance to slack off anymore.”

“Tell me about it. Before, we could slip away from the logistics department by four. Now, we need to be ready at a moment’s notice in case there’s a pickup.”

These employees were clearly unhappy about the increased scrutiny at work.

Understanding that it was natural for people to want some downtime during their workday, Lysander knew that certain aspects of the job shouldn’t be overly regimented.
