Jessica said, “It takes both husband and wife to have a child. You’re not wrong to only pay for your half.”
Of course, Hank felt that he was above any fault.
He took a sip of wine and replied, “The Wiltspoon Hotel lives up to its name as the finest hotel. The red wine here is more exceptional than what we usually have.”
Jessica responded with a smile, “Well, considering the event, I wouldn’t expect any less. It’s a pity that only small-time CEOs and elites of our field are here. Major CEOs like Mr. Stone and Mr. York aren’t attending.”
She would love to check out an influential man like Mr. York again.
Jessica stumbled upon the man of the hour the last time. Alas, she could not get a look at Mr. York’s face. She wondered if Mr. York was as distinguished, aloof, and handsome as described in the rumors.
“We’ll always have the chance to meet people like Mr. York and Mr. Stone in the future.”
Hank consoled Jessica. It was a situation he found regrettable, more so than Jessica, as he was the young professional while she was merely his secretary.
If he could have a quick word with a man like Mr. York, Hank could expect to jump ship to a better opportunity, perhaps even work at York Corporation.
“Hank, I hope you can be a big CEO someday too.”
Jessica dreamed about Hank flying solo and being his own boss with his own company. She would edge out Liberty and become Mrs. Brown, the wife of a CEO.
Hank grinned and answered, “I’ll be my own boss when I establish enough network and capital.”
