She hurriedly took out a pen and a pristine sheet of paper from her handbag."You have no idea how much you inspire me. You’re practically my idol."
As Gwen continued showering her with compliments, Martha’s brows gradually furrowed.
The flattery had become excessive. After a brief silence, Martha gently interrupted her.
"Miss Gwen."
She folded her hands neatly on the desk.
"I actually have something important I’d like to discuss. Can we put all of this aside for now?"
Gwen immediately stopped talking.
Realizing she might have overdone it, she awkwardly withdrew the notebook and pen before forcing an embarrassed smile.
"Sure."
Without another word, Martha opened one of her drawers, took out a thick stack of documents, and handed them over.
"Could you process these for me?"
Gwen blinked in confusion. She had expected praise, or perhaps an opportunity to discuss her future.
Instead, she had simply been assigned paperwork. Still, she obediently accepted the files.
"Of course."
She immediately sat down and began working.
The office remained completely silent.
Beads of sweat gradually formed on Gwen’s forehead as she carefully reviewed every page, unwilling to make even the slightest mistake under Martha’s watchful gaze.
Although it took considerable effort, Gwen successfully completed every document within an hour.
Throughout that entire hour, Martha never once looked away.
She silently observed Gwen’s work ethic, patience, and concentration. Eventually, she arrived at a conclusion.
’She’s hard-working. She truly can be guided onto the right path.’
A sincere smile finally appeared on Martha’s face.
After reviewing the completed documents herself, her confidence only grew stronger.
Everything had been handled accurately. There were almost no mistakes. She looked up at Gwen with genuine appreciation.
"Gwen. I think you’re still very young."
She smiled gently.
"Instead of trying so hard to flatter people... it would be much better if you stopped walking down that road. You have real ability. If you simply rely on your own capabilities, many wonderful opportunities will naturally come your way."
Hearing those words, Gwen froze. Confusion flashed across her face as she stared blankly at Martha.
A few moments later, understanding slowly dawned on her.
She lowered her eyes before putting on a grateful smile. "Really? Then... thank you very much for your guidance, Miss Martha."
Martha carefully observed her expression. Something about Gwen’s smile felt slightly unnatural.
