"Hey, I heard that our company is planning to hire Master Adames. This is electrifying news." Several secretaries were chattering in the office.
"It is. It'll be great if he joins the Yintern Group. With him joining forces with Lexantra, I'm sure our company's business will see a boom. Mr. Yintern said that if our business is good, then he will give us all a raise," Joanne announced.
"A raise?" Everyone's eyes brightened up when they heard this.
"Yes, I heard it with my own ears. He also said that he will give the design department a higher increment compared to the others." Joanne stroked her chin with her hand, her face full of smiles. "Kudos to Lexantra! We are very lucky to have one heck of an outstanding designer."
"That's true. Lexantra is an outstanding designer. I once heard that there was a famous automotive designer by the name Jenna Murphy. They say it was rare to find such a talented designer, but it seems that Lexantra has surpassed her. It looks like Lexantra is going to be famous soon."
"That's true. But I feel like Lexantra looks a little like Jenna Murphy, don't you think?" One of the secretaries tilted her head and thought for a while before saying.
They would never have imagined that the woman in front of them was actually the famous Jenna Murphy, for it was beyond their imaginations.
According to their sources, Jenna was married to a business mogul. How could she appear in such a small country?
Therefore, there wasn't a single doubt in their minds. Moreover, they had only seen Jenna on TV, and it was rare for her to appear on TV. However, she did look a little different in real life. In addition, it had been a long time since she last appeared on TV, and it was common for a person's features to change over time.
"Oh, right. If Melvin does end up joining our company, do you think he will be working here with us, in this office?" one of the female interns asked excitedly. There was a glint of hope in her eyes as she said, "If he does, then we would be colleagues. Rumor has it that Master Adames is extremely good-looking."
"It's possible, but don't hold your breath. Even if the company managed to convince him to join us, I doubt he will be working here with us. I'm sure the company will give him special treatment. He will definitely have his own personal office." Joanne was quite rational.
Some people welcomed the good news, but there were some who opposed it. For a moment, the office was very lively.
The morning flew by as they chattered.
Texantra, Mr. Yintern is asking for you." At around noon, Corrine, Steffan's secretary, came over to inform her.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Jenna gathered the designs that she had picked out, some of which were modified with color, and made her way to Steffan's office.
Steffan was sitting on his desk chair as he read the newspaper with a frown on his face.
He did not put down the newspaper when Jenna entered his office, he just continued to stare at it in a daze.
"Steffan," Jenna called out when she felt something was amiss. He would usually stand up to greet her when she entered his office and occasionally crack a joke. However, his face was a little dignified then. It was as if he was contemplating something. He just kept staring at the newspaper. She had no idea what he was reading.
Only when he heard Jenna's greetings did he lift his head up and straightened up.
Jenna handed over the designs in her hands to him as she said in a somewhat less than confident tone, "Steffan, take a look at these designs that I've picked out and let me know what you think."
He crossed his arms and looked at her. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you not have any confidence in your own work?"
