In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Xander had never overslept. Early in the morning, as he was putting on his coat, the housekeeper knocked on the door. "Ms. Yale is here."

Hazel stood in the villa's living room. She was carrying files in her arms.

Hestia invited her for tea, so she drank politely and didn't overstep. She had been doing this for the past few years.

Hestia appreciated her. "You've been with Xander since he joined the company. At that time, there were many elites, and quite a few pretty ladies among them threw themselves at him. Do you know why I chose you?"

Hazel respectfully said, "I dare not speculate on your thoughts, Madam Fulton, but I am curious about why I stood out."

"Those people were too ambitious. They had too many ideas and wanted to achieve too much. Only you simply stood there with both honor and disgrace. I like that."

Hestia rarely praised someone. But over these years, Hazel had indeed passed the test.

Pleased, Hazel smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, Madam Fulton. But I'm not as good as you think."

Hearing this, Hestia reached out to straighten Hazel's collar.

"Xander was able to get where he is today thanks to your assistance over the past few years. He still has a long way to go. I hope you'll continue to do a good job as his secretary." Hazel's eyes widened slightly. She understood what Hestia was implying.
