According to Mr. Frank’s previous configuration, the president’s office had one director, two secretaries (a chief secretary and a second secretary), and two assistants (a chief assistant and a second assistant).
The two secretaries had different responsibilities; the chief secretary generally handled work-related matters, while the second secretary was more involved in personal matters, such as scheduling, booking flights and hotels, and coordinating outfits for events.
Jacob felt that Layla was more suited for the second secretary role, especially since she had been preparing his fat-loss meals every day recently, and she did a good job.
Moreover, besides being the second secretary, she could also double as his personal fitness coach.
“If Mr. Jacob thinks I’m okay, I’m willing to give it a try.”
This decision wasn’t hard to make; Layla had originally wanted to change jobs, and if the boss was this Mr. Jacob, she might adapt to the new job even faster.
“Great!”
“Then report to work tomorrow!”
Jacob had already made plans in his mind, letting the capable Neriah be his chief secretary while Layla would be the second secretary.
The two were good friends, and Neriah could help guide Layla.
He was quite satisfied with this combination.
“Mr. Jacob, where do I report?” Layla, who had only worked in the fitness industry since graduation, was very curious about the company she was about to work for.
“Coastville Newspaper Group,” Jacob said.
“Ah??”
Layla blinked her beautiful eyes: “Coastville Newspaper Group? That seems to be where my friend works.”
“Exactly, you’ll be colleagues with her from now on.”
Jacob nodded, then joked, “I guess I’m the lecherous boss she mentioned!”
“Ah?”
“This…”
Layla looked embarrassed, but more so, she felt awkward for her best friend since it wasn’t her who said those words.
“Mr. Jacob, are you really Miss. Neriah’s boss?” Layla asked, somewhat incredulously.
“Eff, right?” Jacob directly mentioned the other person’s name.
“Yes, that’s her!” Layla nodded.
“Then it’s settled. I just took over Coastville Newspaper Group today, and the president’s office only has her left. I was originally planning to transfer her because I didn’t know if she was someone else’s spy placed beside me, but now I can confirm she isn’t!”
“So, does that mean I’ll really be colleagues with Miss. Neriah, from now on??”
Layla felt that everything was happening too suddenly, but of course, this suddenness was actually a pleasant surprise for her.
Not only did it solve her job problem, but she also became colleagues with her good friend, which would make adapting much easier.
“Yes, you two will be spending a lot of time together from now on.”
Jacob finished the last piece of beef in his lunch box and wiped his mouth with a tissue: “But you still can’t skip the fitness classes; you need to make time to come and train for an hour every day!”
This fitness center was about to be his, so he naturally couldn’t give up halfway.
Benefits from the boss should be taken advantage of!
Lulaz’s spicy Hot pot.
This restaurant was near Vivian’s workplace. At this moment, she had half a squid ball in her mouth, her eyes wide open.
After a moment of shock, she quickly swallowed the squid ball and exclaimed, “So, the big villain is just like that, done for??”
Now the director of the new media operations center, Lara, had no work at the moment, so she invited her best friend to lunch.
“Yes!”
Lara nodded: “One was fired, one was transferred, and that Director Ivan will likely resign voluntarily!”
“Not only that, but I also got promoted.” Lara mentioned her job transfer.
Vivian was even more shocked: “So, you’re now the director of the new media operations center at Coastville Newspaper Group??”
Lara nodded: “Although I hold the title of director, Manager Jett said that there are only five employees in the new media operations center, including me.”
“And the other four people are still missing!”
“No, no, no, they are present.”
Vivian’s eyes lit up, smiling: “Director Lara, what do you think of me?”
“Uh?”
“You want to change jobs?”
Lara overlooked the fact that her good friend was currently a new media editor.
“If I could go, that would be great!”
“That’s Coastville Newspaper Group, way better than this little company I’m working for!” Vivian said with anticipation.
“Manager Jett did say that if I have suitable candidates, I can recommend them.”
Lara recalled what Jett had said.
“Then recommend me~!”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, recommend me!”
Vivian made a monkey-like eager expression.
“Okay, okay, I’ll recommend you!”
Lara smiled and nodded, then looked puzzled: “But who could be helping me from behind?”
“I don’t know anyone at the group headquarters!”
“And such precise strikes clearly indicate that the other party knows my situation, but the only ones who know my situation are Mrs. Tonia and you, Vivian.”
“Mrs. Tonia doesn’t have that much power; otherwise, she would have been promoted long ago.”
“Exactly, it’s me!!”
Vivian puffed out her chest proudly, boasting: “How about it, my dear Nini, are you touched?”
Lara rolled her eyes at this silly friend.
If she had that much power, she wouldn’t just be venting her frustrations in WhatsApp.
“Actually, there’s one more person who knows your situation.”
At this moment, Vivian said softly.
“Who?” Lara looked at her friend suspiciously.
“Mr. Jacob!!”
“I sent him a WhatsApp saying you were being bullied, and he immediately called me to ask for the details about you,” Vivian explained truthfully.
“Is it brother-in-law??”
Lara’s eyes brightened slightly; if that person were her brother-in-law, everything would make sense.
After the incident, Lara had been pondering who it was that helped her from behind the scenes. But she had no clues at all, as she didn’t know anyone with such influence.
Later, she considered her brother-in-law but dismissed the idea; after all, she had never mentioned her situation to him, and even if she did, he might not be able to intervene in the affairs of Coastville Newspaper.
However, after Vivian’s explanation, the situation became clearer.
Although Lara didn’t know how her brother-in-law had such power, it had to be him. Because among the people she knew, he was the only one capable of helping her like this! “I didn’t expect Mr. Jacob to be so impressive.”
“To have connections in Coastville Newspaper, and they must be quite significant!” Vivian exclaimed.
“I’ll go ask my brother-in-law this afternoon.” Lara said softly.
“Go ahead, go ahead!”
“By the way, maybe ask him out for a date or something; otherwise, Mr. Jacob will eventually be charmed away by some little vixen outside!” Vivian teased with a smile.
Hearing this, Lara couldn’t help but think of Josie, whom she met at the parent-child sports day; that woman was particularly attentive to her brother-in-law.
