If it weren't for Scott, Annabelle would really suspect that Julissa had been tricked.

However, after thinking about it, Annabelle could easily understand. For someone like Scott, money was just a number. What seemed like a large sum to Julissa and herself probably wasn’t a big deal for him.

Annabelle wasn’t very materialistic. As long as she had money to spend, she didn’t think much about earning more.

Right now, though, she was a bit strapped for cash. She couldn’t help but feel envious of Julissa, joking, "Does Mr. Nichols still need assistants? I want to go juice some fruit too."

"Forget it, you already have your own big boss at home. Why are you jealous of us working stiffs?"

Annabelle pursed her lips. "What’s his is his. I still want to rely on myself."

She thought about it for a moment, and a sudden realization hit her. Was she subconsciously deciding that she wanted a long-term future with Kendrick?

After dinner, Julissa dragged Annabelle to the mall.

    Kendrick paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. "Are you jealous of Julissa? Want to be my assistant too?""You know Julissa joined the Nichols Group?""Ah Yuan told me," Kendrick replied, sitting down on the piano bench with a smile. "If Anna wants to be my assistant, I’ll be happy. How much salary do you want? Feel free to name your price—don’t worry about saving me money."Seeing Kendrick seeming serious, Annabelle quickly shook her head and muttered, "I’m just saying. I can’t be your assistant. Every time I enter your office, I just want to fall asleep..."Whenever she heard him talking to his subordinates or saw those stacks of documents, her eyelids would droop uncontrollably. She almost always fell asleep.Besides, Kendrick already had Jaime, the super-efficient, all-around assistant. There was no need for her.Kendrick smirked and placed his hand on her neck, gently pinching it. "True, Anna has spent quite a bit of time napping in my office."The sudden bold remark

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 505 Once You’ve Made Up Your Mind, Don’t Hesitate

    That night, Annabelle received her first practice capital. The amount was roughly the same as what she had saved up before marrying Kendrick.After both of them had showered, although Annabelle was tired, she was full of enthusiasm. She didn’t want to go to sleep; instead, she eagerly wanted to hear how the evil capitalist made money from money.Seeing her so enthusiastic, Kendrick suggested, "Let's go to your study in the suite. I'll explain the basics to you."Annabelle quickly blocked the door to her suite. "Let's go to your room!"Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Your room is off-limits?""It’s a little messy, I haven’t cleaned it yet. Let’s go to your room."As she spoke, Annabelle grabbed his hand and led him toward his suite.Kendrick was puzzled. When had her room ever been messy? She seemed like she was hiding something—was it related to the gift she was planning to give him?She didn’t say anything, and Kendrick didn’t press her on it. If she didn’t want him to see it, he would

    The next morning, at the Nichols Group.Scott had intended to ask Julissa about the previous day’s shopping trip with Annabelle as soon as he saw her at work. However, when he passed Linda’s desk, he was informed that Julissa had gone to the dance school in the morning to finalize her resignation and wouldn’t be back until the afternoon."When she arrives, send her straight to my office.""Understood, Mr. Nichols."Linda watched as Scott walked toward the president’s office, silently thinking to herself. It only took a short while for Mr. Nichols to miss Miss Hickman so much after not seeing her. It seemed like the Nichols Group was soon going to have a new First Lady!In the afternoon, when Julissa arrived at the office, Linda immediately urged her to head to the president’s office. "Mr. Nichols has been looking for you all morning. Go see him quickly."Julissa was a bit puzzled. What could be so urgent that Mr. Nichols wanted to see her?She knocked on the office door. Inside, Scott

    Scott’s brow twitched. Did this woman never check her appearance in the mirror before leaving the house?Annoyance stirred in his chest, and he quickly diverted his gaze, no longer looking at her.As Julissa continued to write, she began wondering whether Scott intended to buy Annabelle a gift. Could it be...?When she finished, she looked at Scott with a frown, then handed him the paper.He took it without looking at her, his mind clearly elsewhere. He glanced at the paper for a moment before simply saying, "That's all, you can go now."Julissa noticed how intently he had been watching her write and draw. It seemed that Scott was truly invested in Annabelle’s well-being. Reflecting on how he treated Annabelle during their previous encounters, it was clear that he cared for her deeply, and with a great deal of attention to detail.But was that really appropriate? After all, didn’t he and Kendrick share a close brotherly bond?Julissa quietly walked to the door but then firmly turned b

    Linda couldn’t help but think to herself. Scott had an executive meeting soon, which would likely last until 8 PM. So, Julissa’s date couldn’t possibly be with him. Could it be that she already had a boyfriend?Linda decided to clarify. “Is Miss Julissa going out with her boyfriend?”The word “boyfriend” made Julissa momentarily pause. That’s right, Zane was her boyfriend now.“Uh… we just met through a blind date and are still getting to know each other.”“Oh~ So, it’s not quite official yet, then.”Julissa recalled that she had already promised Dr. Carter that they would pick out furniture for their new home together. She should probably admit to others that he was her boyfriend. After all, not admitting it seemed like the kind of thing a heartless person would do.So she added, “No, I think we will get married.”She nodded to herself, as if emphasizing this fact not to Linda, but more for her own reassurance.Linda was stunned. So, Scott had absolutely no chance?Julissa finished h

    "Finished with your call?" Scott asked.Julissa stood at attention. "Yes, Mr. Nichols.""Come in, the meeting is starting.""Oh, okay..."Julissa quickly followed Scott into the meeting room and realized that all the senior management were already present, sitting up straight in their seats.For a moment, she felt out of place, thinking, Why does it feel like I, this little assistant, am somehow an indispensable part of this meeting?In fact, throughout the meeting, she just sat in the observation area, listening to terms she had never heard before, walking around in her own thoughts.This was a high-level meeting, discussing important company decisions.She wondered, was this considered eavesdropping on confidential business matters? Then, she turned her attention to Scott speaking. Wow, this was how he was when working—so serious...He was also very strict with his subordinates. One of the executives had used an ambiguous term, and that was not acceptable.Scott demanded logic, brev

    Julissa smiled and nodded at him. "Mr. Nichols, you're leaving too?"As superiors and subordinates, the dynamic was still a bit awkward, but Julissa was trying hard to adjust.Scott gave her a nod in return, carrying himself like a true leader. "How are you getting home?""I’ll take a taxi," Julissa smiled and replied.Scott glanced at her, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes."I’m heading in the same direction. Let me give you a ride.""Ah? No, no, it's really fine. A taxi is very convenient for me."As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the elevator display, watching the numbers descend. She really didn’t want the big CEO to take her home.Besides, there was something about his presence in the confined space of the elevator that made her feel a strange, suffocating tension.She couldn't help but take a deep breath, and suddenly, she caught the faint scent of aftershave from Mr. Nichols.It smelled so nice... so familiar...Where had she smelled it before?Wasn’t it that time i

    Inside her handbag were items like lip balm, tissues, and a small mirror—things tossed in without much thought. Looking at the disorganized contents, Scott couldn’t help but sigh. Was she really up for this assistant job?The job required order, attention to detail, and precision, yet she seemed to be the opposite—carefree, messy, and not concerned with the little things. He felt a twinge of concern about the challenges he might face while working with her in the future.But then again, it might be okay. She seemed so eager for money—maybe using salary deductions as a threat could correct many of her small habits.I wonder what her family situation is like?The thought darkened Scott’s expression.She’d only just met that doctor, and now she was already inviting him home? Would they be eating and drinking together—what if they got drunk and ended up... with that man?He glanced again at her handbag, which contained a small notepad and a pen clipped to the cover.Without a change in hi
