Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 332

Chapter 332:

“Did you do this on purpose?” Dalores asked, suspecting that Eileen had deliberately sought her out in the job market.

Eileen took a seat opposite her and shook her head. “I don’t have the time to do that. It was merely a coincidence!”

Dressed in a business suit, her short hair styled neatly and her makeup impeccable, Eileen radiated professionalism.

Realizing that Eileen had no intention of complicating her life, Dalores let out a sigh of relief.

“But I don’t want to work for you,” Dalores said.

“The agreement is for a year. If you leave early, you’ll owe a penalty for breaking the contract,” Eileen explained. She didn’t want to be harsh, but she needed a secretary urgently.

Additionally, this young woman, so firm in her likes and dislikes, had clearly cut ties with Julio. But Eileen was confident that Dalores would stay loyal to the Freguson Group and wouldn’t go against it.

Dalores was broke; she couldn’t afford to break the contract. She resigned herself to her fate. “Alright, I’ll stick it out for six months, and then I’m done.”

Eileen laughed softly. Avoiding the topic of Julio, she grabbed the employment contract and stood. “Time to get started.”

She led the way, her tall heels making her almost a head taller than Dalores. Her slender silhouette and quick movements showcased her capability.

Dalores trailed behind, feeling small as she absorbed Eileen’s directions.

As they approached the Freguson Group’s entrance, Dalores hesitated, haunted by the embarrassment she had previously endured there.

“Relax, you’re not working for Freguson Group. You’re my personal secretary. Your contract is directly with me, and nobody here, including Julio, has the right to interfere,” Eileen reassured her. Noticing her discomfort, Eileen deduced that Dalores had a difficult past with Julio and preferred to avoid him.

It was time for the employees to head out, and many greeted Eileen as they passed by.

“Good morning, Ms. Curtis.”

“Good morning, Ms. Curtis.”

Eileen nodded and smiled in acknowledgment, giving Dalores a moment to gather her thoughts.

After a brief pause, Dalores collected herself. “I’ll be leaving after six months,” she declared.

She had no desire to interact with Julio or remain any longer than necessary.

“That’s acceptable,” Eileen responded. “After your contract ends and you’ve transitioned your responsibilities, you’re free to go. Now, let’s head inside.”

Eileen entered the Freguson Group building, her demeanor shifting from gentle to more authoritative.

She instructed the security guard at the door, “This is my secretary. She is not part of Freguson Group. Please allow her direct entry from now on.”
