Chapter 141 He Insisted on Choosing Me
I had been summoned by the boss, and I knew it was going to be a long day. Mr. Li, the head of the company, had a reputation for being meticulous and demanding. As I entered his office, I could feel the weight of his gaze on me.
"Sit down, Sarah," he said, his voice as calm as ever.
I took a seat, trying to appear composed despite the nerves that were fluttering in my stomach. Mr. Li leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable.
"I have a special project for you," he began. "It's a translation job, but it's not your typical assignment."
I listened intently as he explained the details. It was a challenging task, one that required not only linguistic expertise but also a deep understanding of the cultural nuances.
"I need someone who can bring this story to life in English," he said, his eyes fixed on mine. "And I believe you're the perfect fit for the job."
I was taken aback by his words. Mr. Li was known for his high standards, and to be chosen for such an important project was both an honor and a daunting responsibility.
"I won't let you down, Mr. Li," I replied, my voice steady.
He nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I know you won't. That's why I chose you."
As I left his office, a sense of determination filled me. I was ready to take on the challenge, to immerse myself in the world of the story and do justice to its beauty. Mr. Li had entrusted me with a task, and I was determined to exceed his expectations.
I woke up early the next morning, her mind still clouded with the events of the previous night. She had to admit, she was curious about what had happened between her father and Uncle James. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something significant had occurred.
She decided to go for a run to clear her head. As she jogged through the familiar streets, she couldn't help but think about the mysterious woman she had encountered. Who was she, and why did she seem so familiar?
On Sunday morning, Donovan told Chloe he was going out to check on a project. "Okay," she replied, surprised by his openness. At noon, while Maya went grocery shopping, Paisley arrived.
Chloe's alertness heightened; she knew Paisley was there for Donovan. "He's out for a project," Chloe informed Paisley.
"I'll call him later," Paisley replied. Chloe couldn't refuse and engaged in small talk.
"Where's Grandpa? I'll say hi to him," Paisley said, heading to the room.
Chloe followed, wondering why Paisley was going to Grandpa’s room. In Paisley’s hand was a potent capsule, three times the normal dosage.
"Hello, Grandpa," Paisley greeted.
"Go play with Chloe; Donovan's not here," Grandpa said.
“Okay, ’'ll leave after I greet him”" Paisley replied. Grandpa continued searching for a book.
Taking advantage, Paisley swiftly dropped the pill into Grandpa's bottle. Chloe intervened, "Don't disturb Grandpa."
