The next morning, Juliet arrived at the office just in tto find Avery talking to Melvin about hiring a spokesperson.
"Letask him when he will be free! I'll ask him out and talk to him in person," Avery said to Melvin. "There's no hurry. It's going
to be New Year's soon so we can wait until next year."
"President Tate, the end of a year is the best opportunity to up-sales! Other firms are working hard toward it so we can't fall
behind!" Melvin was focused on their sales. "Why don't you givehis contact number and I'll reach out to him. | promise not to
disturb him while he's working."
"Letthink about it! You should get back to work for now! | need to talk to Juliet."
Melvin glanced at Juliet, before walking out.
Juliet closed the door behind him and walked toward Avery, before asking respectfully, "President Tate, what do you need to speak

"Um... Nothing much, actually. | just made up an excuse to send him away." Avery took her thermal flask out from her bag and took
a sip of water.
Slightly taken by surprise, Juliet proceeded to ask, "what will | do today, President Tate?"
Avery set her flask down and turned on her desktop. "I'll send you an email. Take a look later. Our annual dinner will be held half a
month later so you need to work with the admin department to make sure everything goes smoothly. Ctoif you have any
questions."
"Noted, President Tate. Anything else apart from that?"
"Focus on this for now. You've just joined us so | don't want to scare you off with too much work," Avery teased. "There are a lot of
details to the annual dinner, too. You will know once you read the email."
"Don't worry, President Tate. | promise that | will work hard," Juliet said, before exiting the office.
This was the second tshe had met with Avery and her impression on Avery remained the same: gentle, yet powerful; however,
she still suspected that this was simply Avery's mask.
Juliet's work station was placed in the general office and her colleagues greeted her enthusiastically when she stepped into the
office.
"You are a lucky one to be recruited as President Tate's assistant as a fresh graduate, Juliet. We've been working here for stime
and couldn't get the job even if we wanted to!" One of the secretaries said.
"| feel lucky, too. | thought that President Tate would be a strong, intimidating woman," Juliet said on purpose, hoping to see how
the others think of Avery.

"Hahaha! President Tate is the best boss I've ever had. She smiles atevery t| see her."
"I agree! She's like a sister to us and she's really approachable."
"| feel even luckier now that you say that," Juliet said. "I submitted my resto the Sterling Group at first and the human
resources there toldthat Tate Industries is hiring as well, which broughthere."
"We envy you! Juliet, work hard with President Tate. We are all depending on you!" Another secretary said.
"Yeah, Juliet. After your probation, the sky is literally the limit. Do you know Chad from Sterling Group? He was the former assistant
to Elliot Foster. He worked under Elliot for a few years and he's now a vice president! You might get promoted, too, if you perform
well!"
Juliet blushed and tugged her hair behind her ear.
"What's that on your wrist, Juliet? Is that a wristband?" Someone saw the wristband on her wrist and asked curiously.
