Before the end of the work day, River summoned Naomi.
Naomi entered the office, and River asked, “Naomi, did you forget to pass yesterday’s meeting minutes to me this morning?”
Naomi lowered her gaze and said nonchalantly, “I’m sorry for not performing well.
River stared at Naomi for a while before she suddenly chuckled. “It’s fine. I believe that you’re tired. After all, you’ve had a lot on your plate recently.”
Naomi kept quiet and thought about Jamie’s comment once again.
River checked her watch. “It’s time to get off work. Let’s have a meal together. I have something to tell you.”
Naomi nodded. “Sure”
At 11:30 p.m., River took Jamie and Naomi to a restaurant opposite the company.
River passed a contract to Naomi after sitting in a private room. “Take a look.”
Naomi took it and looked at River in astonishment after reading the document. “Shares?”
River smiled. “Yes, but it’s just equity. You deserve to own equity in the company.”
“Ms. Healy I’m just a secretary, reminded Naomi
“No. The contract clearly states that you will join HR starting tomorrow and hold the position of human resources department head Don’t decline my offer because the company needs a talented person like you. I’ve been observing you during your time working for me. You did a great job in training new secretaries and completed your tasks meticulously.”
River had her own ulterior motive in promoting Naomi and giving her equity.
Firstly, Naomi was outstanding in her work, so she would be able to manage the company better in the HR department,
Secondly and most importantly, she wanted to find out if Naomi was the arsonist.
Naomi did not speak much, but she would bring up Kenny in their conversations after the factory. fire, which made her doubt Kenny
What was the point of Naomi creating conflict? After all, Kenny treated her well.
Failing to understand the reason, River could only promote Naomi to a higher position and observe Naomi’s actions in the company
She had to make sacrifices to achieve the desired outcome, or she could not make peace with the situation.
Naomi kept quiet for a long time and accepted the offer after noticing River’s persistence.
“Thank you, Ms. Healy,” said Naomi in gratitude.
River said, “Don’t mention it. We shall work hard for the company together.”
Naomi answered with mixed feelings, “Sure.”
On Friday, TYC launched its second piece of clothing for pre–order on the same day as MK’s new design.
TYC’s pre–order number was more than twice MK’s in just a few hours.
It caused a great sensation in the fashion industry
The people speculated MK’s ability to maintain its leading position in the fashion industry.
A journalist hurried to TYC to conduct a solo interview with River:
River agreed to the interview and asked her assistant, Josie Gardner, to escort the journalist to the reception room, where they would meet.
The journalist, Paxton Parker, stood up and shook River’s hand as soon as she entered. “Thank you for taking the time to do this today, Ms. Healy.”
River said with a faint smile, “It’s fine. Please take a seat.”
Paxton asked after sitting down, “We shall begin the recording soon. It’s a live–streamed interview.
We hope that you don’t mind. Ms Healy”
River frowned because she had not been notified prior.
However, she nodded.
Paxton nodded to the cameraman and began the interview officially.
Paxton asked, “Ms. Healy, TYC has only been founded for two months, yet its current sales revenue has far surpassed MK. How do you feel about that?”
River replied, “MK encompasses a wide range of industries and not just fashion. Hence, TYC and MK shouldn’t be compared. In addition, I’m deeply grateful that TYC’s performance is attributed to everyone’s support and preference.*
Paxton asked, “You’re too humble, Ms. Healy. Why do you fix the price of all your clothing at 37 dollars? According to my knowledge, the material of your clothing is not cheap.”
River explained, “I’m the designer, so I want everyone to wear my design at an affordable price without compromising the company’s interest.”
Paxton nodded. “I heard that you have two children, Ms. Healy. May I inquire why you are still engaging in flirtatious action with MK’s CEO despite your current situation?”
River looked at Paxton in shock. Why didn’t you inform me that you’d ask this sort of question.
beforehand? This is tasteless and vulgat!‘
River sneered. “I haven’t engaged in flirtatious action with him. It’s him who keeps pestering me, not me. You may interview him if you want.”
Paxton was stunned briefly. “You’re quite blunt, huh, Ms. Healy? Aren’t you worried that MK’s CEO will be infuriated by this?” he asked.
“Or else? Am I supposed to make up lies out of nowhere? Also, your question may put me and my children in trouble! I accepted the interview because I wanted to give a sincere response to everyone who supports my company!” said River.
The online community commented on the livestream after hearing River’s remark.
[What an unscrupulous journalist for asking such a tasteless question. How is her personal life any of your business?]
(Good job teaching him a lesson, female boss!
[What a joke for involving her family! Why don’t you just break up her family while you’re at it?]
At the hospital
Noah’s expression turned solemn as he watched the interview.
“So, she regards my action as pestering? My feelings for her and all my sacrifices are considered pestering?‘ he thought.
Noah clutched the tablet so tightly he could crush it
Reuben was scared out of his wits. ‘Why did I decide to show him Ms. Healy’s interview, huh?”
Noah raised his head abruptly and looked at Reuben sternly. “Have I been pestering her?”
Reuben was screaming inside. ‘How am I supposed to answer him?
The door opened suddenly as Reuben was torn about answering the question
Alex burst into the room dramatically, clutching his phone and gasping for breath between fits of laughter.
“Noah, you have to see River’s live stream. I can’t stop laughing. She said you’re pestering her.”
Alex’s smile froze as he met Noah’s stern look and intense gaze.
Alex glanced at Noah’s tablet. ‘Oh no, I’m in trouble!‘
Noah’s expression was tense as he asked in rage. “Is that funny?”
Alex’s expression turned serious “Not funny at all! River has gone too far! You are so good to her! How could she say something like this? She shouldn’t have said that even if she did it to defend her reputation!”
Alex approached Noah and continued. “Noah, I think it’s time for you to think this through! I believe River has no feelings for you anymore. It would be best for you to marry someone soon to piss her off!”
Noah narrowed his eyes and thought about Alex’s remark about defending the company’s reputation.
else
‘Perhaps the journalist went too far, and she had no choice but to say that. Even if that is the case, she can handle it differently. Why must she use the word “pester“?”
Suppressing his anger, he asked Alex, “What brought you here?”
Alex said, “I’m here to visit you, of course. Why else?”
Noah sneered. “I’m not dead yet, so you may get out of here!”
Alex hastily sat next to the bed and said, “I’m not leaving. You’re lonely, and I’m here to keep you company as your best friend. Oh, right, how are you planning to deal with MK’s fashion branch?
“River’s company is gaining momentum too quickly. It’s strange. Why isn’t there any negative.
news about the company anyway?”
Reuben thought, “That is because Mr. De Marco hired someone to deal with troublemakers for her.”
Noah threw the tablet on the bedside table and said, “I’m planning to connect with John.”
“John? Isn’t he hard to find?”
Noah nodded, and his gaze turned cold. “Losing is not accepted in my business.”
Alex was rendered speechless. ‘Great, you’re going to compete against your lover, huh!‘
Alex said. “Have you found John already?”
Reuben said, “We have established communication, but the other party has yet to respond, Mr.
Pierce.”
Alex pondered deeply. Noah assumes that Kenny is G, while Kenny is John’s apprentice, who is close to River and Paige. Perhaps I might be able to get something from them. If I can’t get information from Paige regarding River, I can get information on Kenny, right?
Alex said, “I shall ask Paige if she knows anything
Noah shared the same thinking and nodded. “Hmm, it’s on you.”
Alex stood up. “Sure, I shall make a move first!”
Alex left and texted Paige to ask her for dinner before he left the hospital.
In the afternoon, Noah chose to call River to talk about the interview after considering it for a long time.
River picked up and said coldly. “Anything?”
Noah frowned. “Are you going to explain to me about the interview?”
