Chapter 248

Promotion to General Secretary

Lucia didn't have many things to pack or any important tasks yet to be finished since she had just come
back from a week-long leave.

After putting the necessary office items into a cardboard box, she left for the President's Office.

Burton was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for her.

As soon as she went over, he started, "Secretary Lucia, follow me to your cubicle."

Secretary Lucia? The appellation amused her.

This man adapted to the change so fast.He was really a worthy subordinate.

She smiled and followed him into the office without a word.

There was an empty desk opposite Mary's.

Irene used to sit there, and it naturally became her new desk.

Since Mary was absent, this office all belonged to her.It was much bigger than her office in the
administration department.It was well-lighted by a large window.

The environment was good, and she felt less depressed.She took a deep breath and put her things
down on the desk.

"I'll brief you on your duties as a secretary of the CEO."

Burton came up with a serious face.

Lucia also went businesslike, picking up a notebook and a pen.



"You will come to work half an hour early every day, clean the President's Office, prepare his coffee,
and arrange his schedule.When necessary, you'll be required to receive the clients, join meetings, and
minute them..."

Burton talked fast, and she had to take notes in shorthand till the paper was filled.

"That's all.The rest will be arranged according to Mr.Adams’ needs."

Lucia was surprised by the heavy duties of a secretary of the CEO, but (rene used to find faults with
her often.

By rights, Irene's schedules should have been tight.

Before she could figure it out, Burton added methodically, "I will send you a copy of Mr.Adams
itineraries.You don't have to work in the afternoon.Familiarize yourself with the environment and your
duties first."

Lucia came to her senses, nodded, and smiled, "I will."

Burton nodded back and turned to leave.

Then he halted and turned back with a complicated look on his face.His businesslike manners were
gone.His eyes flickered, and his lips parted.

In the end, a question came out.

"How is Paula doing?"

He hadn't been in touch with her for some time.

After their meeting in the hospital, he could no longer reach her.



Lucia was a little surprised.

"She hasn't been in touch with you?"

He flashed a bitter smile and replied, "Yeah."

He had been blocked on WhatsApp.

She wouldn't answer his calls or return his messages.It looked like she had decided to make a clean
break with him.It distressed Lucia to see him like that.

She could tell that Burton and Paula had feelings for each other.

Their looks and personalities were matched.

It was just that Paula demanded too much from love.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "Paula will perform at a charity party in Figo
City this Saturday.If you want to go and see her, I'll give you the detailed address."

She knew that she shouldn't reveal Paula's privacy.She just didn't want to see her friend suffering from
love.

If the two could be together, she was willing to do one terrible thing.His eyes glittering, Burton said
without hesitation, "Give it to me."

Lucia curled her lips.

"Don't waste the opportunity.I'll send you the address later."

"I won't, thank you."



A hint of rare pleasure appeared on his face.He then went out of the office.

Lucia looked down at the pile of things on the desk and let out a sigh.She was concerned about others’
business while she was in a mess.

Starting today, she would be in this office and under August's nose.

The worst was yet to come.She was anxiety-ridden, but her first afternoon in the President's Office was
surprisingly relaxed.She said hello to those assistants and answered several calls.

That was basically all her work for the day.

When her shift was almost over, Lucia heaved a sigh of relief.

It looked like the job was not that difficult.

At least, she hadn't seen August or gotten summoned by him the entire afternoon.She was pretty
idle.She had no idea that this was just the start.

Many unimaginable things were awaiting her.

The next morning, she got up half an hour earlier than usual.

When she arrived in the office, there weren't many people yet.

Following the instructions given by Burton yesterday, she cleaned August's office, including his desk
and the coffee table.

The files were also arranged, and then she went back to her office.

As soon as the office hours started, she got up and headed out upon hearing a noise from outside.



Sure enough, August was seen hurrying over with Burton from the elevator.

"Well, take care of it at your discretion.In short, everything should be done according to the contract.We
won't make another concession."

While walking, August calmly gave his instructions.

When the man came closer, she bowed to him from the doorway and headed to the pantry to make
coffee for him.She then went to his office, put down the coffee, and asked, "Is there anything else I can
do for you, sir?"

August remained expressionless and replied indifferently, "No, you can go."

"Okay."

Outside the office, she heaved a sigh of relief, went back to her post, and started sorting out the files
handed in from different departments.

She felt awkward meeting with August, but the man was more serious about work than she had
imagined.

Since he felt nothing about it, she would not fuss over it.

Unknowingly, over an hour passed.

On the desk, the phone suddenly rang.

She checked it, found it was the receptionist calling, and picked it up.

"Hello, the President's Office."



"Hello, this is the front desk.Please pass on a message to Mr.Adams.Mr.Kelly wants to see him without
an appointment.The man claims that he's from Kelly Group."

Lucia froze.

Mr.Kelly from Kelly Group.It should be either the CEO of Kelly Group or Jeanne's brother.

Their company was in a major crisis.She had read relevant news on the phone.

Jeanne had just come to see August yesterday, and another member of the Kelly family came today.

Their purpose was plain to see.

She collected her thoughts and replied quickly, "Hang on, I'm reporting it to Mr.Adams."

"Okay."

Lucia put down the receiver, quickly left for August's office, tapped on the door, and went in after getting
his permission.

August raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.

"Anything?"

His gaze made her tense up.

"The receptionist just called and reported that Mr.Kelly from Kelly Group wanted to see you."August's
face fell as soon as he heard that.He believed the visitor should be Martin.
