Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 560 - 554: Causing Another Sensation 3

Naomi Kirby stood still, watching him, the grip on her folder causing her fingertips to go pale. She held her breath, waiting for him to issue a life or death decree.

Aiden Shaw looked at her, his gaze landing on her hand.

Not hearing him speak, she spoke first, "Sir, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out now."

He suddenly spoke, "How long have you been with me?"

She hesitated for a moment, a layer of melancholy in her eyes, as if the topic had reduced the deliberate distance between them. She softly replied, "Ten years."

Ten years ago, she was a freshman, interning at the company he had just founded.

The world is vast, yet in retrospect, everything seems like it happened yesterday. Except, she is no longer in her prime, nor innocent and carefree.

In the blink of an eye, youth is no longer with her.

"Naomi, the Group is no longer as fragile as before. You don’t need to hold onto everything."

Naomi smiled faintly, "If I don’t do well, how can I motivate the employees under me?"

Aiden Shaw’s voice was as steady as ever, like the wind and snow: "You should take some time to find someone you can spend your life with."

Naomi was slightly startled, looking at him for a long time before confirming he had said those words.

Affairs of the heart...he was involving himself as well. Many people around her had said similar things, but she never imagined, one day, she would hear it from him...

A man embodying both ruthlessness and warmth, always had a unique charm.

However, his charm was reserved for another girl, never for her.

She smiled lightly again, "Thank you for the advice, Sir."

"Hmm."

After that, Naomi turned and left the CEO’s office.

Once she closed the door, she took a deep breath, but the ache in her heart persisted, as if something was lodged in her throat, making it hard to breathe.

He could sense her feelings for him, and he could ruthlessly force her to give up hope.

Her future work responsibility was to protect Tiana Thorne, while in her life...

He said, it was to find someone to spend her life with.

Suddenly, she wanted to know why, among all the good girls in the world, only Tiana Thorne entered his heart.

...

Ping.

Tiana Thorne and May Sloane simultaneously received a friend notification, and the two exchanged a glance.

"It’s Sir’s secretary, Naomi Kirby."

"Looks like Mr. Shaw handed this task to her." Tiana raised her brow gently.

"While you were discussing business with him in the office, I already looked into Naomi Kirby. She’s been Sir’s secretary for ten years. For a woman to be trusted by him for so many years, she must be very capable. I don’t think we need to worry about her character," May analyzed, trying to determine if she’s a friend or foe.

"Okay."

Tiana nodded and approved the request.

"Miss Thorne, hello, I’m Naomi Kirby from Coco Candy, responsible for this collaboration. Please guide me."

May also received a different message: "Miss Sloane, hello, I’m Naomi Kirby from Coco Candy, handling your liaison. We’ll be half colleagues going forward. Feel free to share any thoughts. I hope our collaboration will be very pleasant. Below is my phone number."

"Speaks tactfully, turned a secretary into an administrative PR, indeed a remarkable secretary," May praised.

Tiana’s eyes twinkled, and she raised her brow slightly, "Beauty, is she single?"

"...Yes."

Detective Thorne is online: "For a woman to work for a man for ten years and remain single, either she’s a workaholic career woman or her boss demands too much from her, leaving no time for romance. But there’s another reason closest to reality."

May listened intently, "What?"

She narrowed her charming eyes, grinning wickedly, "Secretly in love with her boss, hoping to develop a deeper relationship over time."

May was startled, "Damn! A rival in love!"

Tiana lightly poked her forehead, "Yes."

Finn Pierce had been silent the entire time. When he heard this, he was stunned and spoke up to confirm, "...A rival?"

"Uh..." May then realized she spilled the beans. He wasn’t aware of this yet.

Tiana leaned back on the sofa, her voice lazy, "Finn, you’re not an outsider."

"Brother Finn, our Thorne is in a relationship with Mr. Shaw."

Finn Pierce’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, "Not planning to make it public?"

"It’s not time yet," May explained.

Finn Pierce looked at Tiana in the back seat through the rearview mirror, suddenly unsure how to describe his current emotions. He felt happy, yet inexplicably a bit sad.

In just two days of absence, his boss had become his little aunt.

Recalling little details from before, especially when Uncle hid Tiana’s photo book, just from that, you could discern his thoughts.

May, sitting in the passenger seat, took in all his expressions, and her heart skipped a beat.

Did Finn like Thorne?

Why would he have such an expression, though it wasn’t very obvious...

"Finn."

"What’s up?"

May suddenly found it hard to ask, so she changed the approach, laughing as she said, "You should be blessing Thorne, right?"

He didn’t hesitate, "Yes, I am."

The doubts she had just moments before were dispelled. She thought she might have been mistaken, or maybe he had something on his mind.

Just then, a headline popped up.

#Tiana Thorne snatches Sue Rooney’s endorsement, making Coco Candy girls cry#

May immediately clicked to view.

Coco Candy officially announced Tiana Thorne as the spokesperson and pinned it on Weibo, receiving likes and shares from Pinnacle Group’s CEO Aiden Shaw, Vice President Lucas Lockwood, and all other executives.

Sue Rooney’s fans were outraged.

"Woke up from a nap to see this on Weibo?"

"What’s this stunt by Pinnacle Group? There was no prior notice, suddenly announcing a change of spokesperson, burning bridges, how nice!"

"Who is Tiana Thorne? Why is she suddenly hogging so many resources? Is she well-connected?"

"Ahhh, my favorite candy brand is endorsed by my idol."

"I used to think Tiana Thorne only hooked up with directors and producers, now she’s with entrepreneurs too? She’s doing whatever it takes for resources."

"??? Who’s Tiana Thorne?"

"Coco Candy, give an explanation to Sue-fans."

"Some pretending to be Sue Rooney’s fans with her avatar are high-level blackening."

"Give the endorsement back to Sue Rooney."

"Thorne earned the resource with her skills, why should she return it?"

"Why should the biggest fraud in entertainment endorse Coco Candy?"

"Tiana Thorne’s resource snatching ranks first, so disgraceful, why doesn’t she just die?"

"Tiana Thorne’s death would be the best answer for Sue-fans."

"Borrowing this: Don’t insult mothers, don’t curse families. Those Sue-fans spewing venom, want to ask Thorne to calculate when you’ll die?"

"Sorry, I don’t get Tiana Thorne’s appeal."

"Borrowing this: I also don’t get your IQ."
