I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 376: There Is Nothing About You I Don’t Love (Part 5)

"I understand how you feel, but you need to know that dating such a man means you’re destined to become the focus of everyone’s conversation." Walking around the table, Kate Palmer leaned on the chair next to her, raised her hand to hold her shoulder, "Vera, now, tell me, in the entire Planning Department, who is most qualified to be the Manager?"

Vera Wave slightly furrowed her brows and thought seriously.

"Brother Ruben, right? He’s the oldest and most respected."

"That’s correct, but... have you ever thought about why, after all these years at Ashton, he’s still just an employee, while Sam Davis, who is much younger, is the Manager?"

"This..." Vera lightly coughed, "Brother Ruben... he’s more suited for doing practical work, not management."

During her days at the Planning Department, Vera gained quite an understanding of everyone.

Ruben Campbell is extremely competent, but when it comes to management execution, he indeed falls short.

"I don’t mind telling you the truth. Actually, I originally planned this position for Kylo Sail." Kate shrugged, "Unfortunately, she wrapped herself in a cocoon of arrogance and got herself into trouble. Now, looking at the whole Planning Department, you’re the most suitable! Every decision I make is for the development of Ashton. Since you’re an Ashton employee and the CEO’s fiancée, I think you’d also want Ashton to have greater development, so... seriously consider my suggestion."

Vera raised her face, meeting her gaze.

Kate’s eyes were full of serene honesty.

Meeting the girl’s gaze, Kate smiled.

"I’ll give you one day to think about it, give me your answer before the end of the day."

After speaking, she returned to her seat and picked up the report Vera had given her.

"Thank you, Director."

Vera stood up, thanked her, and returned to her office.

Walking to the window, gazing at the city outside, she frowned in deep thought.

What soldier doesn’t aspire to be a general?

Of course, she also hoped to achieve greater success, to be qualified to stand next to Kris Cooper.

However, Vera also understood that once she took the Manager’s position, she would inevitably attract others’ suspicion and gossip.

Originally, she always thought about achieving something significant before announcing their relationship to outsiders.

Now that she thinks about it, that wish is good, but reality is cruel.

Kris Cooper is someone who had already founded a public company before turning twenty, let alone now.

And her?

A fallen heiress, how long would it take to reach his level?

Should she make him wait for ten or eight years?

Kate was right, marrying such a dazzling man also meant she would inevitably be subjected to others’ scrutiny. If she didn’t even dare to take on a small Manager’s role or face such minor gossip, what right did she have to marry him as the CEO’s wife?

Thinking of this, Vera’s small hands at her sides slowly clenched.

Feeling the ring on her finger, she lifted her left hand and gazed at the ring, finally making up her mind.

With a smile, she turned and walked briskly out of the office, returning to stand before Kate’s office door and knocked.

"Come in!"

Hearing Kate’s voice, she opened the door and walked in.

Kate looked up, seeing her, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Made up your mind?"

"Yes!" Vera closed the door and approached her desk, "I’ve decided... to accept the Manager position."
