The CEO's Billion Dollar Bride-Chapter 15 - 16. A step away from you

Chapter 15: 16. A step away from you

Chapter 15: 16. A step away from you

The entire Legal Department was filled with either unbeatable ugly women or ugly unbeatable women. In this media group full of beauties, the Legal Department could be considered the least visually appealing department.

Now, the CEO actually wanted to choose someone from their department based on proximity to be his secretary for half a month. After much thought, Maria Young could only think of the newly hired Ivy Aretha to shoulder this important task.

With her looks, not only was she the most outstanding in the Legal Department, but even if she was placed among the celebrities in the Film and Television Department, she would surely be the most eye-catching one. Having such a woman working by the CEO’s side would certainly bring face to their Legal Department.

The most important point was that if her job performance was not up to par and she offended the CEO, Maria could argue that Ivy was a newcomer who had only been on the job for two days, so it shouldn’t be said that she, the minister, was unfavorable in employing people.

When she settled on this idea, Maria Young’s attitude towards Ivy Aretha improved considerably – an attitude that a newcomer should not have enjoyed.

“But, Minister, I’m just a legal affairs employee. I don’t know how to do a secretary’s job at all. If you let me be the CEO’s secretary, I’ll just hold up the work!”

When Ivy realized Maria’s plan, her heart bristled with rage. However, she didn’t show it on the surface, as she was a new employee and still needed this job.

Who would push their subordinates into a pit of fire? Knowing full well that she couldn’t do it, Maria was still sending her to meet her doom. And then there was Michael Gordon. His personal secretary was on marriage leave. Couldn’t he get one from the Secretary’s Office? There was more than one secretary in the CEO Office, but he specifically chose from the Legal Department.

This minister, in order not to offend Mr. Gordon, threw her out there. They really were a foolish ruler meeting a treacherous official, and she, this good citizen, was probably going to be sacrificed.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Since the CEO is shifting someone from our Legal Department to fill in for Secretary Anna while she’s on maternity leave, he must know about this. You just have to handle the daily tasks, and Anna, the CEO’s personal secretary, will teach you how to do it. As for professional matters, you can ask Mr. Gordon!”

Maria Young was a cunning woman. She had already decided to push Ivy out as a scapegoat so she wouldn’t have to worry about her future affairs.

The CEO suddenly wanted to transfer someone from her department to fill in, suggesting that he had some complaints about their department’s work. Indeed, the Legal Department had been rather lax recently. But while reorganizing the department, someone had to take the blame first.

Ivy Aretha, the newcomer, was naturally a good choice.

“Ivy, if you pass the CEO’s test and survive these fifteen days, you can return to the department and I’ll immediately transfer you to a permanent position. Your three-month probation will be invalidated. We’ll see the results within fifteen days. I believe that the CEO’s assessment will be the most suitable. How about it, Ivy?”

Maria Young directly threw out an attractive condition to make Ivy devote herself wholeheartedly to completing this task. In any case, they would know the results within fifteen days.

Hearing this, Ivy laughed at the bottom of her heart. This old woman was cunning enough. If she could survive the fifteen days, then she could serve the Legal Department. If not, she would justifiably become a scapegoat for the department. Either way, it was probation period, so all was negotiable.

With this thought, Ivy looked up at her and said sarcastically, “Minister, since you’ve dug the pit, I have to jump whether I want to or not. Instead of you pushing me in, I might as well jump in myself, right?”

Maria Young’s face changed dramatically, and she couldn’t say a word. She had underestimated this newcomer, Ivy, who was quite sharp-tongued.

“Not bad eloquence; it’s no wonder you’re fresh blood in our Legal Department!” Maria Young’s sharp eyes swept over Ivy, and the faint smile on her face froze, “I hope you can pass the CEO’s test.”

Maria called the CEO Office again after finishing speaking and confirmed the recommended person to replace Anna during her marriage leave. Then, after hanging up the phone, she told Ivy, “Go and handover with the CEO’s secretary now. Don’t let your guard down. Being the CEO’s personal secretary isn’t easy!”

“Thank you for reminding me, Minister!”

Ivy silently cursed Maria Young’s ancestors in her heart. However, she thought that whoever encountered this situation would probably do the same. Anyone would adopt this safe and time-saving method.

Unfortunately, she was a newcomer. The most important thing was that she was the most beautiful one!

At this thought, Ivy’s depressed mood instantly improved. Such self-hypnotic Ah Q spirit was quite useful in critical moments.

It wasn’t until she handed over with Michael Gordon’s personal secretary, Anna, that Ivy realized her Ah Q spirit was of no use. Anna’s so-called personal secretary was no different from a personal nanny.

In short, she was responsible for the CEO’s eating, drinking, defecating and sleeping. These things were obviously not Ivy’s strong points. She couldn’t even take care of her beloved woman, let alone the mighty CEO.

“Anna, I haven’t done any of this before, and I might not do it well!”

After the handover, Ivy thought it was necessary to be honest and tell the ugly truth upfront, so she wouldn’t die too miserably later.

Anna was about to comfort her and tell her about Michael Gordon’s personal preferences when she was interrupted by an unhappy and familiar voice.

“If you can’t even do such simple things, is the Legal Department feeding you for nothing?”

Ivy looked up, confused, and saw Michael Gordon standing ominously at the entrance of the CEO’s office. His sharp, icy eyes were fixed on her face. In his hand was a gray suit, as if he was about to go out.

“Mr. Gordon, Ivy was just being modest. You don’t have to worry. She will do her job well in my absence!”

Seeing Michael Gordon’s unhappy face, Anna knew that he hated employees with no confidence and hurriedly explained.

“Really?” Michael Gordon stared at Ivy. When he uttered the two words, his intonation was dragged out, “I want to hear you say it yourself!”

Ivy broke into a cold sweat. This man couldn’t be doing it on purpose, right? Was her job not even started and already he was making her guarantee the quality of her work?

However, she had to serve this master well to keep this high-paying job. There was no choice – to support her daughter, she would go against her conscience this time.

“Yes, Mr. Gordon, please rest assured I will work hard and make you satisfied!”

When she heard Ivy say this, a beautiful arc hooked on Michael Gordon’s lips, his eyes filled with scattered laughter. Was she chanting a slogan?

Interesting. This woman also had moments of submission. He always thought that her eyes were on the top of her head and would never come down.

“Very well, I hope you can make me satisfied!” Michael Gordon lazily hooked his lips, deliberately stretching the word ‘satisfied’.
