Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

When they laughed and spoke, they looked up and was surprised to see a slim and beautiful figure coming around a corner towards them. The two assistants shut up immediately.

Schultz, who they just talked about, appeared in front of them!

Why did she come here early in the morning?

Oh, no. Did she hear that? The two assistants turned pale at the thought of Miller's fate. They had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Allow me to correct what you said." Savannah opened her mouth quietly, "First, Miller was fired—not because of me. She had only herself to blame. As the chief secretary, she was arrogant towards visitors and leaked Mr. Sterling's personal itinerary to an outsider. Second, I will stand in for Miller from today. That is to say, I am your immediate superior these days. Don't be afraid to offend me, I would appreciate your advice any time."

With that, she held out her hand in a friendly way.

She was polite to Miller when she worked as a secretary before, but it didn't mean she was easily bullied. At that time, it was just a week, and she didn't want to make trouble for anyone.

But now, she took Miller's place for the time being, and there were so many people looking at her, waiting for her to make a spectacle of herself. She could not be looked down on.

The two assistants froze there, and they did not reply for a long time. It seemed that they were outpaced by the young woman in front of them.

Savannah, who appeared to be quiet and low-key last time, seemed to be different when she came back this time.

"Why, don't you think this chief secretary is the right one?" said a severe voice from close behind them.

Dylan was coming along with a stroll, his manner distinguished and elegant. His eyes were fine and cold.

The two assistants immediately responded, "Yes, yes, of course, she is!"

Then they hurriedly took Savannah's outstretched hand, "Ms. Schultz, nice to meet you. We'll work hard in the future."

"That's great," Savannah smiled, "but I don't like my staff gossiping about other people's affairs in the office. Do you agree with me?"

The two assistants nodded hurriedly. "Of course, we agree. We will never discuss other people's private affairs in the office."

"Well, you can go to work now."

The two assistants breathed a sigh of relief and hurried off to their seats.

When Savannah and Dylan were left alone, Savannah lowered her head and said, "Mr. Sterling, I'll be back in my seat. Call me if you need my help." Her voice was much softer.

"What's the hurry? It's three minutes to work." Dylan curled his lips and glanced up at his watch.

She had to stay where she was, waiting for him to let her go.

"It was quite impressive when you lectured them, but why do you look depressed now?" Dylan teased.

"It was not a lecture… I just don't want to see a second or a third Miller in the company." If he fired the assistants, she would do everything by herself. She would work herself to death!

"In a word, you have to be tough in front of others in the company. Remember, you don't have to be afraid of anyone here except me. Don't lose my face."

Savannah blushed. "Yes, sir."

Dylan's eyes were burning with some unfathomable emotion. He was going to call her into the office to give her some "tasks" when a department manager came to report work.

Savannah bowed her head and left.

She went to Miller's former seat, the chief secretary's seat, which was close to the CEO's office and at a distance from the other assistants. It was half an open office, exquisite and nicely arranged.

Apparently, Dylan had already sent someone to clear the place.

***

Up to now, Savannah's secretarial work had been quite smooth.

Maybe it was because she had admonished the assistants on the first day she came back, she did not hear any comments about herself these days.

Just as Dylan said, she should be tough. People bullied the weak and feared the strong.

This morning, Savannah came out of the elevator and saw the door of the conference room closed.

Dylan didn't go to Beverly Hills these days. He seemed to spend all day in his office or having meetings with senior executives at the company, so she hardly ever saw him.

As she knew, the Sterling Group was currently negotiating a cooperation project with an official partner. Dylan was prepared to sign the agreement, so he stayed very busy.

Well, Savannah did not feel bad. The man had no time to get her in trouble if he had so much work to do. At least, he wouldn't call her into his office to give her some strange tasks.

"Morning, Ms. Schultz." One of the little assistants came up and greeted her in a flattering way.

"So early today?" Savannah looked at the pile of documents in the assistant's arms.

"Yeah, the company is sending someone to Chicago today to sign up for the project."

Savannah nodded and returned to her seat. Just then, the door of the conference room opened, and Dylan came out, followed by some senior executives.

After they entered the elevator, Dylan walked toward Savannah and stopped at her seat. He drummed his fingers on the desk and said, "Go downstairs and wait for me in the garage. You will go to the airport with me, and then we will fly to Chicago."

"Ah?" Savannah was surprised and looked up at Dylan, "I'm… going to Chicago with you? Now?"

This time he went to Chicago to finish a contract personally? And he would take her too?

Oh yes... She was his secretary now, and it's very normal for the chief secretary to accompany her boss on business trips!

However, how could he make the decision without telling her in advance?

"Yes. Hurry up."

"It's too urgent. Should I go back and get some clothes and supplies first?" Savannah hesitated. The business trip would take at least two or three days, and she should pack her bag first.

"No, I'll prepare everything when we get there. Get ready. I'll see you in the garage in five minutes." After that, Dylan turned and walked to the elevator first.
