Chapter 249 Have I Broken Up with You?

At high-profile gatherings like these, the bigwigs usually sit together and talk shop about business and development opportunities.

Bringing along finance folks helps with better investments. If a lucrative project pops up, they could sign deals right then and there.

"Grantie, I might not be able to make it to tonight's event," Giselle said, looking a bit worried.

Grant glanced up at her and asked, "Ms. Rodriguez, why can't you make it?"

In the office, Grant and Giselle kept things professional, only using first names in private.

Giselle pointed to her chest and explained, "My heart's been acting up lately. I've been feeling really off these past few days. I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me to rest and avoid late nights. So, I won't be going tonight."

Grant couldn't push her to go if she wasn't feeling well. He casually suggested, "Then talk to Stanley and find someone from your finance team to go instead."

Unexpectedly, Giselle recommended Isidora.

She said, "Let Isidora go. She has a finance background, the necessary certifications, and knows investments. Plus, she used to be your secretary, so you two have some rapport."

Previously, due to the issues surrounding the letter of intent for cooperation, Isidora had taken the blame. During a company meeting, it was decided that Isidora would be dismissed from the Martin Group. However, it was at that moment that Giselle stepped forward to defend her.

So, Isidora was reassigned-no longer serving as Grant's secretary, she was transferred to a role within the finance department.
