Chapter 24
Kate was a tad surprised when Henry mentioned that he was the second son and also the new heir of the Grant family.
Didn’t Mrs. Cadwaller tell her just now this spoiled, giant nepo baby hated it when someone said that he was the new heir or even the son of President Grant? Did Mrs. Cadwaller intentionally give her the wrong information, or did this man spontaneously change his preference and now admit he was born with a silver spoon?
’Wait, he was probably born with a diamond spoon instead of just a silver spoon. His family is THAT rich,’ Kate thought.
It also caught Kate off guard because she was mentally prepared to take care of a spoiled, lazy man who had no drive in life. Not this... intimidating and imposing young CEO who also, just so happened to be a big flirt.
Thus, Kate played along with her professional demeanor and said, "Yes, Sir. I am the Chief-in-Editor of Emperor Publishing. I’ve been in this position for two years, and I’ve led the company for three months after Mr. James Grant’s death. I will do my best to assist you with your work."
"I heard a lot of good things about you, Mrs. Woods," Henry said. "You are revered by my Dad, and also by everyone in the main office. Because you’re able to generate millions of dollars in profit for a previously-dying publishing company. You constantly found best-selling manuscripts. You have a keen sense of what would sell and what would not, even my late brother talked highly of your brilliance."
"T—Thank you, Sir, I will continue to do my best to support the company," Kate said. She was quite flattered to hear that her late boss and everyone in the main office seemed to have a good opinion of her.
Honestly, she was just doing her job.
Of course, she knew the company was dying when she first came in, and she thought that she had to do her best or else the company would go bankrupt, and she would have to find another job again.
