Check On Suzy
Suzy still felt light-headed as she walked out of the CEO’s office.
“Miss Lambert, this is your workstation. From today, you’ll be a part of the B-team in your department. This is your ID card. The cafeteria is on the second floor and you may have your lunch there,” Kelly explained as he took her to her office.
“Thank you so much for walking me here. By the way, you can just call me Suzy,” Suzy smiled at the handsome young man.
Kelly smiled back, his tone polite, “You don’t need to thank me, Suzy. Boss is the one who arranged all this.”
Suzy blinked. Boss was the one who arranged all this? Did Vince Houston arrange everything for her in person? Was this man treating all his employees this way? He would be exhausted…
The assistant nodded at Suzy politely before leaving.
Suzy still felt surreal as she sat before her desk and flicked open her laptop. After what happened to her family years ago, she had never dreamt of having a chance to get her ideal job.
Suzy was overjoyed and she wanted to share her joy with her babies immediately.
But what was with this weird CEO? Why did he seem to care about her so much? Suzy couldn’t wrap her head around it.
Suzy went online to do some research. It was quite strange because there was a lot of news about the Viceroy Group but almost nothing about Vince Houston. It was quite obvious that this man valued his privacy very much.
Vince Houston…
Suzy chewed on this name as she searched her memories. She remembered her father once mentioned this Houston family to her before.
The Houston family was the most powerful house in the city. This house was one of the wealthiest families in this country and it had connections with big political figures. In a way, the Houston house basically had Roth City in its pocket. Everyone feared their name, yet they still wanted to forge a connection with the Houston.
The Houston house had remained rather low-key.
Suzy wondered if he arranged for her to work here because she knew he was seeking therapeutic treatment. Rich people valued their privacy very much. Maybe he hired her to keep her mouth shut…
That bolt of scar on his wrist flashed in Suzy’s memories again. What could possibly make this rich and handsome man resort to an extremity like that? He had everything any man could ever want…
Suzy started to have a headache straining her brain for this issue. She decided to take a break and focus on her job.
…
Meanwhile, in CEO’s office, Vince leaned back on his chair, narrowing his eyes as he ordered, “Kelly, go to Suzy’s hometown and check out her background. Be as specific as possible. And do not tell anyone about this.”
Kelly was his most trusted assistant. The young assistant nodded, “Yes, Sir.”
Kelly didn’t know why his boss was so curious about this Suzy. But this girl was definitely quite important.
Vince took out a photograph from his drawer. He looked at it for a long time, letting out a long sigh. And then he threw it back into the drawer and locked it up again.
What happened five years ago? How come he couldn’t even bear recalling any of those memories? Why did everything change so drastically after he woke up?
Vince still didn’t have any clues, but he knew he needed answers.
…
Suzy sat at the corner of the FD office. She had majored in designing and couture-making before her father was imprisoned. After that, she dropped out of school.
Fashion had always been her passion. Suzy couldn’t explain how lucky she felt to be given a second chance. She would hold on to this opportunity. And this time, no one would be able to take her drama away.
Suzy took out her notebook and started to scratch on it, trying to take her ideas down on the paper.
There were totally three teams in the department. Team A was working on the 20th floor. This team was led by a famous designer. The rest staff of the team was just her assistants.
Team B and Team C were on the 13th floor. These two teams were about the same level and doing the same job. They only handled samples because major fashion designs were usually Team A’s job.
But if you worked hard enough in B and C, you would also get the chance to be working in Team A one day.
Viceroy Group was the largest enterprise in Roth City. It had many branches and businesses but fashion was no doubt its core business. Every designer dreamt of working here.
That was why Suzy still couldn’t believe her luck. She sat on her chair, scribbling on her draft book nonstop. She didn’t even realize that it was already lunchtime.
Meanwhile, the members of Team B were gossiping in the cafeteria.
“Hey, what’s going on with that new girl? How come Kelly brought her here himself?” Joy poked at her spaghetti with a fork frustratingly as she asked.
