Chapter 795 Nothing Has Changed

Jocelyn, dressed in formal attire, exuded a perfectly business–like demeanor. “Mrs. Rainsworth, Ms. Quill, please, this way.”

“All right.”

She led the way, with Cecilia and Jessica following behind her.

Jessica glanced around as they walked. Ever the social butterfly, she attempted to flatter Jocelyn. “So, you’re Nicholas‘ assistant? You’re so pretty.”

Jocelyn’s expression remained unchanged, just as composed and courteous as when they first met. “Thank you for the compliment.”

Jessica, unfazed by Jocelyn’s cool response, wasn’t embarrassed in the least.

She quickly caught up with her and continued, “What do you usually do at work? Are you in charge of managing Nicholas‘ schedule? Can I reach out to you if there’s something I don’t understand in the future?”

Jocelyn, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her icy gaze locked onto Jessica’s face.

“Ms. Quill,” she responded calmly, “my job responsibilities don’t concern you. In the future, you’ll be the secretary to Mrs. Rainsworth. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’d suggest asking your direct supervisor.”

Jessica choked up.

Instead of continuing with the conversation, Jocelyn simply pressed the elevator button.

Cecilia had met Nicholas‘ assistant before, but today was the first time she truly witnessed her professionalism. Jocelyn handled the situation impressively, leaving Jessica, known for her bold. and thick–skinned attitude, completely speechless.

Upon reaching the elevator, Jessica moved beside Cecilia and, without hesitation, began speaking. “Cecilia, don’t you think this assistant is incredibly rude, acting all high and mighty?”

Although she had lowered her voice, everyone in the elevator could hear her, including Cecilia, who relied on a hearing aid.

Needless to say, Jocelyn heard her complaints too.

Cecilia knew Jessica was hoping she’d step in on her behalf, but she wasn’t foolish. Why should I offend Nicholas‘ assistant to defend her? Besides, it was clear Jocelyn wasn’t the one lacking manners in the first place.

“I think Ms. Wright has a point. You should really reflect on your own issues.” Cecilia’s remark left Jessica speechless once again.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn shot Cecilia a brief, approving glance.

Chapter 795 Nothing Has Changed!

Just moments ago, she had expected Cecilia to side with Jessica.

They then headed to the top floor.

* +5 Pearls

Cecilia recalled when Nathaniel was the manager of the Rainsworth family business, the CEO’s office had been located there. Apart from the assistant secretary, all other departments were on the floors below. I wonder if that arrangement is still the same.

As the elevator doors slid open, they finally arrived.

Stepping out, Cecilia quickly noticed that the layout had remained largely unchanged.

“Mrs. Rainsworth, Mr. Nicholas has arranged for your future office to be set up next to his,” Jocelyn explained, leading her toward the CEO’s office. “You’ll be taking over the duties of the former secretary. This setup will make it easier for you to get a handle on the company’s operations. The workload isn’t too demanding. You’ll only need to work about three hours a day. And if anything comes up, you’re free to leave whenever you need.”

While Cecilia remained silent, Jessica suddenly chimed in, “You only have to work three hours a day and can leave whenever you want? That’s even more relaxed than being the boss. How amazing is that?”

Cecilia ignored her and turned to Jocelyn instead. “Aren’t we heading to my office now, Ms. Wright?”

“Mr. Nicholas mentioned he’d like you to stop by his office when you arrived,” Jocelyn replied..

“All right then.”

Arriving in front of the CEO’s office, Jocelyn gave the door a knock.

“Come in.” A calm, warm voice called from inside.

Only then did Jocelyn push the door open, gesturing for Cecilia to enter.

When Jessica tried to follow, Jocelyn stopped her. “Ms. Quill, Mr. Nicholas has only permitted Mrs. Rainsworth to enter. It would be best if you wait outside.”

Hearing this, Jessica, who had already taken a step forward, quickly stepped back.
