Chapter 209 A Kiss is Not Enough
Seeing Sarah taking the initiative to show concern, Antonio felt a warmth melting in his heart. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just work-related matters."
Antonio sincerely did not want any further misunderstandings between them. He knew that Sarah had reservations about Serene, so he had already agreed to end their collaboration. He would keep his promise.
However, considering Serene's lifesaving favor, if there was anything he really needed to do, he would help without hesitation.
Since Antonio had made up his mind, he didn't mention it again.
He reached out and held Sarah's hand, asking, "Since you've agreed to work for Valencia Inc., what position would you like?"
Sarah smiled brightly and said, "That depends on what Mr. Valencia offers me."
"How about being a department manager?" Antonio answered in a serious manner, his expression earnest.
This made Sarah feel a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she quickly shook her head. "No, giving me such a high position right from the start might be unfair. The employees below me would have objections. I don't want my job to cause you any unnecessary trouble."
Actually, Antonio didn't mind at all. He knew that Sarah had the ability to handle it. Besides, he was in the company too. He wouldn't let anyone bully her.
Although Antonio thought this way in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, he had just promised to respect her opinions on anything.
His voice was gentle, and his hand fleetingly caressed her long hair as he spoke, What position do you think you should start with then?"
Sarah blinked her eyes slightly, hiding the rekindled affection that was gradually welling up in her eyes.
"Let's begin at the junior employee level, starting from the grassroots. This approach avoids gossip, and once I demonstrate my abilities, promotion becomes possible."
Upon hearing this, Antonio's eyes sparkled, and he smiled faintly. "If you want a grassroots position, that's fine, but I have a more suitable position for you here."
"What position?"
"My assistant."
'assistant?' Sarah was a little confused. 'Doesn't he already have an assistant? If I become his assistant, then what will happen to his previous one?'
Sarah initially considered refusing, but the anticipatory look in his eyes stirred a strange feeling in her heart. It seemed she couldn't bear to make him sad.
Taking a deep breath, she reluctantly asked, "What about your current assistant if I accept the position?"
"Replace him."
These two words, resolute and merciless, made James, who was working late to organize documents, sneeze loudly.
He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Is some beautiful woman thinking about me on this late night, hehe..."
Meanwhile, Sarah's lips twitched. She hadn't even started working yet, but it seemed like she was about to turn Antonio into an infatuated ruler who couldn't resist women's charms.
And Antonio's current assistant was also too innocent.
"I don't think that would be necessary...
"Not very good..." Antonio's face grew cold instantly.
"You're willing to be Asa's assistant, but not mine..." Antonio tightly pursed his thin lips, his face expressionless. As he continued, even he felt it becoming a bit melodramatic, his voice gradually becoming softer.
Sarah was momentarily speechless.
'So, he's unhappy because he's jealous?'
With this realization, Sarah's heart softened slightly.
Antonio impatiently ran his hand through his short hair, seeming annoyed with himself for exposing his emotions earlier.
Suddenly, Sarah didn't feel so averse to being an assistant anymore.
Antonio was right. As long as she did well, others couldn't say anything. In that case, she should focus on becoming strong instead of constantly trying to escape.
With a clear understanding in her heart, Sarah stepped forward and gently embraced Antonio.
He stiffened immediately, but then he felt Sarah's hand gently caress his back.
"Alright, I promise you," she said, lightly kissing his thin lips.
The softness of the touch instantly made him lose his focus, and all the unpleasant feelings from before seemed to disappear.
He instinctively tightened his embrace around Sarah's waist, his voice low and magnetic. "One is not enough, I want more..."
