Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

chapter 248

Chapter 248 Promotion to General Secretary Lucia didn't have many things to pack or any important tasks yet to be finished since she had just come back from a week-long leave. After putting the necessary office items into a cardboard box, she left for the President's Office.

Burton was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for her. As soon as she went over, he started, "Secretary Lucia, follow me to your cubicle." Secretary Lucia? The appellation amused her. This man adapted to the change so fast. He was really a worthy subordinate. She smiled and followed him into the office without a word. There was an empty desk opposite Mary's. Irene used to sit there, and it naturally became her new desk. Since Mary was absent, this office all belonged to her.

"I'll brief you on your duties as a secretary of the CEO." Burton came up with a serious face. Lucia also went businesslike, picking up a notebook and a pen.

"You will come to work half an hour early every day, clean the President’s Office, prepare his coffee, and arrange his schedule. When necessary, you'll be required to receive the clients, join meetings, and minute them..." Burton talked fast, and she had to take notes in shorthand till the paper was filled.

"That's all. The rest will be arranged according to Mr. Adams' needs."

Lucia was surprised by the heavy duties of a secretary of the CEO, but Irene used to find faults with her often. By rights, Irene's schedules should have been tight.

Before she could figure it out, Burton added methodically, "I will send you a copy of Mr. Adams' itineraries. You don't have to work in the afternoon. Familiarize yourself with the environment and your duties first."

Lucia came to her senses, nodded, and smiled, "I will."
