Chapter 63 - 62. Those Left Behind
"Morning, Uncle!"
Sarah sauntered into the secretarial office like she was visiting her friend’s place to play, greeting the old man sitting at the head table. Ignoring the stares of the other employees, she walked toward the old man who stood up in response. Immediately, all the other employees stood up too.
"It’s past afternoon, Young Miss."
The Chief Secretary looked at Sarah with stern, dissatisfied eyes. He also glanced sharply at Hajin, definitely over what he ’overheard’ during the call earlier.
But knowing she wouldn’t be sent away gave Sarah leeway to act brazen, so she just smiled cheekily. "Well, I just woke up not long ago, so it’s still morning for me."
The old man closed his eyes for a second and sighed, before gesturing toward a small conference room on the side while taking a folder from his desk with him. "Over here, please."
Sarah entered the small conference room with Hajin in tow. She could see the disapproving look on the old man’s face, but what could he do? Hajin wasn’t just a bodyguard--he was a personal assistant, a secretary, a housekeeper, a driver, and everything else Sarah needed. All in a budget of one--even though his pay was twice the regular fare.
The family’s financier was probably the only one who was happy about Hajin’s existence.
Without asking or waiting for permission, Sarah took a seat on a chair that Hajin pulled, crossing her legs and tapping her fingers on the table. "So, what do you want me to do, Uncle?"
Sarah thought the old man would show more displeasure, but he just put on an expressionless face. She forgot that he had to deal with her siblings already, so he was probably immune to rude brats at this point.
"Now that you’re properly graduated, the Chairman feels it’s time for you to do something for yourself," the Chief Secretary said dryly, strictly in a business tone.
