Chapter 70: The President’s Office on the 88th Floor of Earth King
At this moment, Vice President Victoria is visiting her younger brother’s office. Her office is on the 82nd floor, but these days, whenever she has some free time, she makes her way to the 88th floor to chat with him. She claims it’s to help her brother understand the company’s internal structure, but in
realty
Jason watches as Ms. Stew casually lounges on the leather sofa, scrolling through her phone. A slight throb in his temples reminds him that since her retum, she seems to have shifted all her responsibeties onto him, leaving herself free and relaxed.
There’s a knock knock at the glass door, and in walks Gina Holmes, dressed in professional attire. Like Jason, she is an assistant to George, but Jason holds the title of Special Assistant
Gina nods slightly to Victoria, who is still sitting on the sofa, before approaching George. She opens a folder and hands him a file written in German “President, this is a translated letter from the German company, Aleson. They have confirmed that their regional president will be sent to Wellington next month to negotiate with us”
“Great, let’s have Assistant Gina handle this for now. All subsequent contract documents can go to Jason,” George replies, his eyes shining with a confidence that suggests he feels he has the upper hand.
Standing a few meters away, Gina’s eyes sparkle with excitement. “Understood,” she responds, her voice steady.
Her silky hair falls gracefully as she processes the fact that the president has entrusted her with the follow–up. She feels a rush of thrill but quickly masks her excitement. After going through rigorous screenings, she earned her position at the company and is determined to excel
The first time she met George, she was taken aback by his striking looks. Who would have thought that the elusive executive from the company would be so extraordinarily handsome? However, she knows that men like him, with their high status and charm, always attract beautiful women. Even with her confidence winning his heart will require more than just looks
Victoria notices the fleeting joy on Gina’s face and raises an eyebrow. It seems her brother’s love life is blossoming–first Jessica, and now Gina. However, Jessica was reassigned to a rural branch, and it will be years before she can return to the city unless she resigns.
Victoria understands why her brother sent Jessica away, and she hopes that Gina will last longer in her position without being transferred.
Jason retrieves the signed document from George, places it in a folder, and politely exits the office. Gina follows suit, not wanting to linger
Before leaving, she nods slightly to both Victoria and George, exiting with grace and poise.
Jason, your assistant seems quite capable, huh?” Victoria jokes.
George doesn’t look up from the document he’s reviewing. If Jason likes her, he can keep her.”
Victoria’s expression shifts slightly, and then she laughs, “Jason’s assistants tend to prefer handsome guys, they don’t usually like female assistants. Do you have someone better in mind?” she teases.
George chuckles but remains silent, wondering when his sister developed such a playful demeanor.
with that look? Victoria asks, noticing her brother’s scrutinizing gaze, which initates her slightly.
“Are you interested in Jason?”
Victoria freezes. “Why are you bringing him up? You’re not trying to set me up as a matchmaker, are you? I heard he has someone he likes, right?“–
She seems resistant, yet her cunosity about him suggests otherwise. A man who, aside from work, avoids unnecessary socializing and keeps a distance from women is either very principled or already has someone special in his life.
Victoria finds the situation strange. She admires Jason’s rare qualities he isn’t a sycophant and doesn’t seek to please her. Such men are hard to come by. and has capabilities are impressive, making her take a second look.
George, with a knowing side, says, “I thought Jason was interested in the assistant Stephan I brought back from abroad?”
A flicker of surprise crosses Victoria’s face as she pulls out her phone, slightly impatient. “Alright, Jason has a meeting to attend. You should focus on yourself, I heard (um is asking Dead to find someone for you in the social circle.
She freshes with a cheeky laugh, her expression suggesting. Do you get it? She playfully raises her eyebrows at him.
Seeing her brother’s lack of response, she adds awkwardly. “George, you’re so boring! If you have a girlfriend in the future and act this way, won’t you drive

As George watches Victure leave the office, he can’t help but chuckle Surely, she couldn’t have developed feelings for Jason? While he respects Jason, he knows someone already has a place intes heart. Ise hopes his sister will find someone else, as he wants to keep Jason close for a little while longer, after

Mr Johnson watched the young women greet each other with enthusiasm and chuckled, “Emma, go wash up, then take Lisa out for coffee and catch up?
“Only Mr Johnson understands me!” Lisa said, presenting a small gift to him.
“Mr Johnson, this is a little something from me.”
“You didn’t have to bring gifts, just coming here is enough,” he replied, smiling
Emma rolled her eyes, knowing it was just a can of coffee. Her father loved coffee from a local roaster,
