An old employee like Lilith Larson usually acts arrogantly, relying on her seniority and exhibiting a fundantal pride in the company.
She isn’t scared by little things.
If Yvette Aston wants to bring Lilith Larson over to Ethan’s side, she has to give her a bit of a shake-up.
At the very least, she needs to wear down her pride.
"When do you plan to use ?" Ethan rembered Yvette asking about his peanut allergy.
"Strike while the iron is hot, tomorrow... tomorrow..." Yvette was still a bit scared. "Don’t worry, Mr. Grant, I’ll prepare the anti-allergy dicine in advance, and won’t put you in danger."
Ethan smiled. "Hmm, I’m looking forward to your pledge of allegiance."
Yvette nodded vigorously.
"Let’s go, I’ll familiarize you with the company."
Yvette was shocked, looking at Ethan.
The boss personally taking her around the company.
This wasn’t just familiarizing her with the company, it was taking her on a tour with authority.
As Ethan’s assistant, it would be unavoidable to interact with various departnts in the future. He knew these people wouldn’t treat Yvette kindly. To improve work efficiency, he had to first establish her authority.
Yvette’s palm was warm, her fingers habitually tightly clenched, gradually loosened, as she carefully followed behind Ethan, secretly observing him.
Ethan was inherently distant and cold, as if nothing could catch his eye.
Yvette once thought Ethan was a cold-hearted person. She rembered dodging him out of habit when visiting the Grant Family in her teens.
Because Jayden Grant was afraid of Ethan, so was she.
But now, Ethan seed sowhat different from the rumors.
Despite his indifference, he wasn’t without principles.
She had to work harder, at least be valuable to Ethan.
So that even if the ’marriage cooperation’ ends, she could still be his most reliable assistant.
"Mr. Grant, your schedule is quite full; your usual rest day on Saturday should also have a schedule added, as the collaboration with Varden International is on Sunday in Solara." Taking advantage of so free ti, Yvette spoke about the schedule with Ethan.
"Didn’t Christopher Carter say that leaving early on Sunday would be enough?" Ethan asked calmly.
"That’s right, Mr. Grant. It’s the first collaboration between Grant Group and Varden International. This project in Solara will greatly help in opening up the Varden market for Grant Group’s future."
Yvette didn’t stutter while discussing work.
"I’ve already investigated Mr. Scott Aldridge from Varden International, he values face, likes others showing him respect. Going ahead of ti, making a visit that night, not only increases the success rate but also leaves a good impression."
Ethan’s status in the industry was undoubtedly unshakable, but being young, many in the circle said he was arrogant and disrespected veterans, while others relied on seniority, their capabilities not as good as Ethan’s, still thinking they were superior due to early entrance in the field.
Especially Jayden Grant, over the years he gained a good reputation in the Grant Group by so-called ’humility’ and courtesy.
Those who disliked Ethan’s arrogance naturally appreciated Jayden Grant’s approachability.
Yvette needed to consider all matters for Ethan in advance.
Ethan stopped, turned back to look at Yvette. "On your first day of work, you’ve accounted for the boss’s only rest ti?"
Yvette stamred while making an excuse. "Solara... resort area, beautiful scenery, can relax."
Ethan nodded and said nothing.
But he had already tacitly agreed to Yvette’s arrangent.
Suddenly realizing, having Yvette as an assistant was indeed a wise choice.
Christopher was a man, after all, so things couldn’t be as detailed as Yvette’s thoughts.
Besides, Christopher was a relative on his mother’s side, eventually, Christopher had to be promoted, he couldn’t be kept around forever.
But Yvette, could possibly stay with him forever.
His steps halted again, even he was a bit startled.
Yvette, not standing firm, bumped into Ethan, looking at him in confusion as he suddenly stopped. "Mr. Grant, any arrangents?"
Ethan thought for a mont. "What would you like for dinner?"
"..." Yvette glanced around and spoke quietly. "Mr. Grant, it’s working hours."
Ethan nodded. "Any plans after work?"
Yvette took a deep breath and didn’t hide. "Henry Jennings contacted ... said he wants to see Sumrs."
Ethan frowned, his face darkening instantly.
Seeing Ethan not speaking, Yvette silently followed behind him.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain several tis, but still didn’t say anything.
Explain that Sumrs’ attending physician called asking the biological father to cooperate with the examination? Seems a bit unnecessary.
If it weren’t for Sumrs, Yvette wouldn’t contact Henry Jennings in her whole life.
But Henry Jennings also knew, with Sumrs in the picture, there’s a tie that can’t be severed.
"Hello, Mr. Grant."
"Mr. Grant, what brings you to our departnt?" A departnt leader on good terms asked with a smile.
Ethan’s face was grim, his voice low. "Are you very free?"
"..." The departnt leader thought, aren’t you the one who’s free, taking your assistant around?
"Is there anything you need to explain, Mr. Grant?" soone bravely asked.
"This is the new assistant, get to know her so future handovers are smooth." The manager was shocked, are executive assistants so competitive now? Needing the president to personally introduce them around departnts? Where’s Special Assistant Carter?
"Hello, I’m Yvette Aston." Yvette quickly stepped forward.
"Hello, nice to et you." The manager offered to shake Yvette’s hand politely.
Ethan glanced at the manager. "Did you disinfect your hand?"
"..." The manager quickly withdrew his hand, do you really need to disinfect to shake hands with the assistant?
Seeing Ethan leave without another word, Yvette quickly followed.
As soon as Yvette and Ethan left, the whole departnt was in a frenzy.
Everyone started gossiping. "Who exactly is this Yvette Aston? As soon as she arrived, rumors spread like wildfire, and now Mr. Grant personally takes her around departnts. What kind of treatnt is this?"
"I heard she was once Junior President Grant’s fiancée?"
"Hush! Make sure to talk less about Yvette, look in our group chat, Charles Larson and a few others actually wrote a public apology letter and announced their resignations!"
Everyone fell silent.
It seems this Yvette Aston is soone not to be trifled with.
...
When it was ti to leave work, Yvette didn’t dare to leave because Mr. Grant showed no intention of leaving.
If the boss doesn’t leave, the assistant can’t leave early.
Standing nervously on the side, Yvette secretly watched Ethan.
The schedule didn’t seem to have that much work requiring overti, why was Ethan still not leaving?
Ethan, holding a docunt, had a grim face, his right hand gently tapping the table.
"Mr. Grant..." Yvette glanced at the ti, the appointnt with the doctor was at six.
"There’s still a docunt to sign." Ethan placed the file on the table. "In a hurry to leave?"
Yvette quickly waved her hand. "I..."
Ethan looked up at Yvette. "In a hurry to see Henry Jennings?"
"No... Sumrs’ attending physician said that Henry Jennings needs to cooperate with the examination." Yvette explained in a small voice.
"Let Caden go." Ethan frowned.
Yvette quickly nodded. "Okay."
Downstairs at the Grant Group.
Waiting in the car for Yvette to finish work, Henry Jennings was grim-faced. It was already six, and Ethan still hadn’t let Yvette leave?
