Vivian forced herself to put on a bright smile in order to convince Benedict after explaining casually to him a valid reason. She did not wish to see him being troubled and distracted by her problems again. He was tensed and emotionally exhausted after trying to get things resolved for her all this while.
"Don't spend your time dwelling on the past. Try to let go of everything," Benedict patted Vivian's shoulder and motivated her. He did not sense that she was actually telling white lies. His grim face softened as his frustration was gradually replaced by a sense of sympathy.
Vivian squeezed a smile as she nodded and asked curiously, "Ben, are you looking for me? Anything up?" "It's a piece of great news regarding your job application. I've just received a call from the person in charge of your former magazine company. They requested you to report to work tomorrow."
"Really?" Vivian asked in disbelief. Her face lit up as her lips lifted into a cheerful smile.
She never let go of any chance to be back to her favorite journalism throughout these years. When she was overseas, she grabbed the opportunity to further her studies in the relevant field. After graduation, she even had her internship in a reputable press agency which appeared to be quite popular in A Nation.
Earlier on, she told Benedict that she was not keen on working in Morrison Group. She was actually looking forward to being back at her former magazine company if there was any chance.
To her surprise, Benedict was very supportive of her decision. According to him, the operation of Morrison Group was running smoothly all this while under his supervision, so it did not matter if she was unable to join the group. Apart from that, he hoped that she could continue to have career advancement in the field she had passion in. He even offered to help her submit her resume to her former magazine company.
"Of course! I've told you previously that you possess high qualifications and are experienced in this field. It would be a great loss for them if they don't hire you." Benedict sounded really proud of her. "This round, instead of being a normal employee there, you'll be holding the post of Chief Editor."
Vivian was dumbfounded and started to stammer, "C-chief Editor! Ben, h-how did it happen? How can I be assigned to hold the post of Chief Editor?" She totally had no clue about the current circumstance.
"Yeah, I submitted your resume for the position of Chief Editor. Based on your qualifications and capabilities, you are actually qualified to hold a higher position than this!" Benedict had put the effort into planning this great surprise for Vivian. He was delighted that her beloved sister was able to continue pursuing her dream again in her favorite field.
