“Mr. Tanner, you have an important meeting tomorrow. Why don't we postpone the celebration party until tomorrow’s meeting…"
Damian had personally picked this assistant among the other interns. After bringing it up to Arianna, she immediately assigned the person to him.
It was part of his master plan. He wanted to promote some interns and keep them by his side, which was his way of priming them. Then he would slowly replace those in high positions when the power shift inevitably happened.
He knew how it worked in a world ruled by hierarchy, so this was his preparation in advance. Damian wanted to get a few henchmen and kick out the old hags. Besides his new assistant, he had also reached out to a few other interns. Once he did that, he would host a celebration party and get his assistant to call them.
"What are we waiting for? Are you worried someone will snatch our trophy?" Damian patted his assistant’s shoulder and continued, "Can't you see how smooth sailing everything is right now? If this continues, our department will soon become the company's backbone. Do you trust me on this?
“Don't be too over-cautious. I chose you back then because I noticed that you're just like me. We're both young. We should be brave enough to fight for what we want. We work hard and play hard. Everyone has been working hard for the past few days. It's time we have some fun. Tonight will be on me!"
“Then…" Since the assistant could not change Damian's mind, he hesitated and asked, "Should I notify Ms. Tanner and Mr. Hall?"
Out of all the people, Arianna and Nathaniel were also responsible for this project. Back then, Damian was the one that approached Arianna and practically begged her to put him on this project. Since then, Nathaniel got demoted from being this project’s lead manager to being an assistant manager.
Everyone knew this, and since this was a celebration party, Damian's assistant thought they should invite the two.
However, Damian frowned and suddenly hooked his hand around his assistant's neck while the other pointed at his nose. "Child, why are you trying to rain on my parade? I am the only one that handled this project from the very beginning. Mr. Hall's been in the factory fewer times than I can count with my fingers. What did he do to deserve such a celebration?"
