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.

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."
