Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1434: Does she really need us?

"Unless, of course, you noticed something earlier or in the reports, then feel free to tell me. Even though I reviewed everything myself, there are probably things I missed. If there's nothing, then I guess there's no reason for me to ask questions."

Penny's smile stretched as she wiggled her brows, giving them a knowing look. However, the four of them still seemed confused.

"Well, I guess I'm not the one who needs to ask a question," she remarked, putting down her chopsticks and leaning an arm against the edge of the table. "Come on. What is it that you want to ask?"

Her eyes lingered on Hayley, then Teddy, before settling on Shawn. "What is it, big guy?"

"Huh?" Shawn's shoulders tensed before he cleared his throat. "Miss Penny-I mean, Boss—the four of us applied for the same position and got hired at the same time. It might be too early to ask, but... who got the assistant job?"

Their eyes lit up at the question that had been lingering in their minds.

Who got the job?

Although all four of them were hired, they knew that only one would become Penny's assistant, working closely with her. The rest would stay in the CEO's department, handling administrative tasks. Not that they minded, but the position they applied for was to be her assistant.

"Ah!" Penny nodded in understanding, scanning their faces. "Good question! Well, I thought about it before, and the answer is... all four of you will be my assistants in different ways."

"Huh?" They uttered in unison.

"What I'm saying is, I know you all applied for the same role, but each of you has distinct qualities that make you suited for different aspects of the job," she explained. Penny pointed at Teddy, then at Patricia. "For now, these two will be following me around."

"Then you, Miss Rogers, and Mr. Lowie will stay in the office for administrative roles," she added knowingly.

"Miss Penny..." Hayley's smile faltered slightly. "I have nothing against your decision. However, am I not suited to be your assistant as well?" freewebnovel.com
