Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 20

After Lucian went out, Victor straightened up in his chair. He muttered with a smile, "That's right, this type of person is most suitable to be a secretary."

After Eden received Victor’s message through Lucian, she collected herself and walked to the chairman's office. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She stood at the door and Victor's devilish smile crossed her mind. She did not want to go in at all.

She had saved him the day before, but he did not even thank her. Even though she was not a person who fussed over minor matters, she still felt uncomfortable with his lack of gratitude.

She raised her hand but did not knock on the door. Instead, she bit her lower lip and hesitated whether she should go in.

Could she not go in?

She had to depend on Victor's salary to support her family!

Eden collected her emotions and took a deep breath. She told herself that she would be more worried if she did not enter.

It was only then she knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in!" An indifferent voice rang out. It sounded deep and pleasant.

Eden pushed the door open and walked in calmly and gracefully.

Victor narrowed his cold eyes and pursed his thin lips when he saw Eden walked in. He was staring at her bright eyes.

She was very nervous. Victor found this observation a little funny. A hint of glee flashed past his eyes.

"How can I help you, Mr. Alwynn?" Eden asked politely with a smile and went straight to the point.

She glanced at the spacious and bright office casually.

The style of the office suited Victor.

But-

Eden's eyes were fixed on the lollipops on his desk.

Did Victor, an adult, like to eat lollipops?

But this was not surprising to her. She also liked strawberry-flavored lollipops too.

Victor took a good look at her expression and said in a dull voice, "Director Bleu, you’ll be transferred back to the headquarters for the design director role. Your salary will be doubled, and you will have the weekends off!"

Eden knew that her worst fear had come true after she heard Victor's words.

She was really attracted to the doubled salary and free weekends!

But her family members were all in Gate City!

She had already found a school for Kenny and his siblings. No, she had to stay by her children’s sides.

Eden smiled. She tried to keep her reason short. "Mr. Alwynn, I may not be able to relocate. My family is in Gate City."

Victor did not expect that Eden would refuse him. He could not help but frown. She should have no reason to refuse this position.

The people of River City were desperate to join Alwynn Group. But Eden refused his offer.

Eden was indeed a talented employee. She was the only person whose first draft would be directly approved by him.

He wore an evil smile and mocked. "Do you feel that you're not qualified to be the director of the headquarters?"

Eden felt taunted by his sarcastic and provocative words. She suddenly felt a need to prove him wrong.

With a polite smile, she answered Victor confidently and calmly, "Mr. Alwynn, this is not the case. There’s no doubt about my ability since my designs are straightaway approved by you. I'm also competent to take on this role. However, all of my family members are in Gate City."

Eden explained her concerns clearly so that she would not lose her job due to a miscommunication.

She had suffered a lot for the autumn fashion line design.

Victor was rendered speechless upon hearing that. As expected, she was eloquent and beautiful. He decided to let her take care of the problem.

"That is not my concern. From today onward, you will be an employee of the headquarters. I'll send someone else to fill your role in the branch office." She was shocked by Victor’s cold words and forceful attitude.
