Chapter 179
Love was the best medicine in the world.
There were a total of twelve groups in the marketing department, with over twenty supervisors and assistant supervisors.
Upon entering the office, the supervisors lined up on one side, and the assistant supervisors on the other.
Jenny glanced around. "Everyone is here. I have an announcement to make. Today is the day of the media conference. Get ready and head to the entrance of the Sevan Grand Hotel. Guard it for me, understood?"
"Understood!" The crowd replied in unison.
Jenny nodded, then gave some instructions. "Remember you represent the Skyliho Group. If anyone tarnishes the group's reputation, I won't spare them."
Jenny swept her gaze over the crowd, her sharp eyes making many people lower their heads.
Truth be told, when she got serious, she was quite authoritative.
Leaving the office, Lily said, "You'll ride in my car later."
I shook my head. "I can't go with you."
"What do you mean?" Lily’s face turned cold.
"Don't be angry." I chuckled. "You don't know yet. I'm doubling as Mis.Wilson's driver. The personnel order has been issued. I have to drive her to the Sevan Grand Hotel at nine."
"What!" Lily changed her expression. "Come with me!"
I touched my nose and followed her to the fire escape at the end of the corridor. It was quieter here, often frequented by people looking for a smoke.
"Are you out of your mind? Did you ignore what I told you last time?" Lily furrowed her eyebrows. "Immediately refuse the personnel order."
"Refusing is easy, but have you thought about the consequences of rejecting the order?" I instinctively pulled out a cigarette, but with Lily present, I resisted the urge.
"How do you think she'll deal with me if I, an assistant supervisor, refuse the assistant general manager?"
"I'll protect you!"
"You?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Even Ms. Smith wouldn't be able to protect me. Do you think I would be willing to get involved in this mess? Do you think I don't know the power struggle between Mr. Foster and Mis.Wilson?"
"Mr. Foster will definitely win, so you must refuse Katherine."
"Maybe, but before she wins, Katherine will take me down first and then take you down as well!"
Katherine always won in a confrontation. If she found what she was looking for, even Steven might not be able to handle her.
Although Linda was Steven’s wife, they might divorce when the time came.
Lily bit her lips. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Would it have made a difference if I did?"
I held her hand. "Alright, don't worry about this. I know what to do.'"
"Let go of me!"
She tried to break free, but I pulled her into my arms and greedily breathed in her scent. "What are you doing? Let go of me quickly!'"
I lightly nibbled on her ear, and she shivered, her body going soft. "Don't worry, no one will come for a while."
"No, let me go. If someone sees us, it'll be over." Lily weakly pushed me away.
"Are you still mad from yesterday?" I asked.
She suddenly fell silent, pursing her lips without a word.
"I think you should give me some space and learn to trust me."
I held her, preparing to reason with her. Women could be reasonable as long as you gauged the environment and the situation!
For example, now was a perfect opportunity.
"The most important thing between people is trust. Without trust, everything is just empty talk. I know you're worried about me, but I'm always under your watchful eye. What can I do?"
"Who's worried about you? Stop talking nonsense."
Lily blushed and turned her head.
"You should understand how important you are to me, right?" I looked straight into her eyes, and she dared not meet my gaze, "How would I know?"
"Very important, like top priority." I said affectionately, "Really, for you, I can give up a lot of things. Even if I'm ridiculed and mocked, I'll gladly endure it as long as you're happy. Although I'd love to be by your side every day like before, the reality is that I need to strive and excel. I can't only forever remain an assistant supervisor. There is no future in that."
I pinned her against the wall. "I want you to see my changes and know my determination. One day, I'll make you proud of me."
She loved hearing sweet words despite being a bit proud. As long as you handled her emotions well, she was easy to get along with.
"Alright, I understand. Let go of me." Lily pushed me away. "It wouldn't look good if someone saw us."
I knew she had calmed down. "Don't rush!"
I held her chin and kissed her fiercely.
A few minutes later, Lily, with a red face, left.
I wiped the lipstick from the corner of my mouth, thinking, 'You're no match for me.'
After comforting Lily, I went straight to the underground garage. Holly had called me, all prepared.
Marry had also made arrangements, even securing an extra entry pass.
Time flew by, it was nine o'clock.
Katherine emerged from the elevator. "Let's go to the hotel."
I nodded and Katherine didn't look too good. I didn't ask what had happened just now.
I didn't expect that although I hadn't spoken, Katherine did. "Why aren't you talking?"
"Because you're in a bad mood."
"How do you know that?"
"Because it's written all over your face."
I smiled. "Mis.Wilson, I don't know who upset you, but no matter what, you shouldn't punish yourself for others’ mistakes."
"Punish myself for others’ mistakes?" Katherine nodded. "You have a point there."
Her cold demeanor softened a bit.
Seeing this, I shared some interesting anecdotes I had read online with her. Although she didn't speak, her expression improved significantly.
Soon, we arrived at the Sevan Grand Hotel.
Outside the hotel, red flags fluttered, colorful banners flew, and huge balloons with banners soared into the sky. Many media outlets were present, creating a lively atmosphere.
After parking the car, Katherine got out. "Wait for me outside."
With that, she headed straight for the red carpet.
The outside was bustling with employees from various major media companies. In a prominent position, I saw Jenny and Lily.
There were many booths outside, with the most prominent ones belonging to major media companies. Many smaller media companies, without the qualifications to enter, could enhance their company's image by purchasing booths at a high price.
And such companies were often led by their company's bosses.
