Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 98

Chapter 98:

Eileen’s role as the CEO’s special assistant was officially terminated, and she was reassigned as a front-line employee within Apex Group, assigned to report to the “Dress Special Group” of Vicin Mall the following Monday.

Vicin Mall was a major retail success under the Apex Group. It generated annual revenues in the tens of millions.

It had been established after Eileen had joined Apex Group, and she had been integral to its affiliations and market expansions.

She had witnessed the mall’s rise to prominence firsthand.

Eileen was surprised that she wasn’t dismissed but was reassigned as service staff.

As she held her phone, she found it hard to define how she felt at the moment.

Located on the eastern outskirts of the city, Vicin Mall was a considerable distance from both Apex Group and her home. Commuting by public transport would take her at least two hours.

Describing Bryan’s actions as heartless didn’t quite fit since he hadn’t fired her; yet calling him merciful seemed off too, given the burdensome nature of her new role.

Eileen sighed deeply and leaned against the bus window, attempting to rest.

Though she wasn’t scheduled to start until Monday, Apex Group’s protocol required her to complete a comprehensive job handover over the weekend.

Since Raymond had not fully earned Bryan’s trust, part of her responsibilities was transitioned to Karla.

The remainder she was to hand over directly to Bryan.

Arriving at the company by nine in the morning, she first went to the office to prepare a transfer report on the computer.

Following that, she compiled a form detailing some significant ongoing projects for record-keeping.

Once it was completed, Karla arrived, and Eileen sent the documents to her email.

“I’ve organized all the important materials and noted them down to send to you. There are also two major ongoing projects I need to discuss with you in detail,” Eileen explained to Karla as they sat together in the office, conversing in hushed tones.

An hour later, Eileen closed her files and said, “That covers everything that needs to be handed over. If you find yourself struggling to recall any details, feel free to call me.”

“Eileen, what position have they transferred you to?” Karla asked. “Is it a manager or general manager of a branch company?”

Given Eileen’s qualifications, it would have been entirely possible for her to secure a top role in a branch company.

Such transfers were usually routine, but her situation was completely different.

“It’s neither; the company’s transfers are always confidential in nature, so it’s better not to ask,” Eileen said, smiling faintly as she handed Karla some documents. “Take care of these; I’m going to report to Mr. Dawson now.”

Upon hearing that, Karla refrained from asking further and said, “I just saw Mr. Dawson come in with Miss Warren. Be careful.”
