Chapter 928

On a typical Monday afternoon, Thalassa was getting ready to wrap up her day at the office when her boss, Ethan, strolled into her workspace with a casual, “Thalassa, I’ve got a social engagement tonight, and you’re coming with me.”

Her curiosity piqued, Thalassa asked, “Mr. Ethan, why would I be the one to accompany you?”

With his arms crossed and a look of amused ease on his face, Ethan replied, “You’re my secretary, aren’t you? If you don’t schmooze with me, who will? Right now, you’re the only one I’ve got. No backups, no understudies. If I don’t lean on you, who else is there?”

Thalassa paused to consider his point. It was true, after all. If Betty and Anna hadn’t resigned because of her, she wouldn’t be the one accompanying Ethan to these social events.

As the sole secretary in the office now, Ethan would have to seek her out for anything he needed.

As they left the company building, Thalassa trailed behind Ethan, probing, “Mr. Ethan, why don’t you just hire another secretary?”

“No need for that; having you is more than enough. You’re worth three,” Ethan said nonchalantly.
