Chapter 814

Starting to get worried, Ivy Li nodded to let Alice know she's listening.

Keeping her gaze steady on her assistant, Alice straightforwardly said, "The thing is, today's your last day here."

"Ma'am? Sorry, did I do anything wrong? Please give me another chance. I promise I'll work harder and I will do better," Ivy Li started to plead to Alice, her expression rattled.

Alice shook her head, a hint of smile on her lips. Shr said, "No. You got it all wrong. Relax and hear me out first."

Ivy Li stared at her boss and slowly nodded. She swallowed and tried to control her feelings even though she was starting to feel uneasy with worry.

Alice lifted the letter. With a smile, she explained, "This arrived this morning. It is an offer letter from the HR of the JC Group and it is addressed to you. You're now the assistant to the CEO of the JC Group."

"Ma'am? Me? The assistant to the President of the JC Group?" Ivy Li stuttered, unable to form her thoughts. She gazed at Alice, shaking her head in disbelief. 'Wow! Are you kidding me? The assistant of the President of JC Group?' she was screaming inside.

"That's right," Alice smiled and handed the letter to her panic-stricken employee. "You're chosen and hired by the CEO of the JC Group, Lawrence Chu. There, look at his signature."

With trembling hands, Ivy Li took the paper from her boss. She had a close look at it and scanned every word with her eyes. She saw the seal and logo of the JC Group and the CEO's signature. 'It's real! I'm not dreaming, ' her mind was jumbled with excitement and eagerness.

Knowing full well that Alice wouldn't lie to her about this, she let out a deep sigh of satisfaction and relief. She was looking at the offer letter intently, the huge smile on her face undeniable.

Alice could not help but smile when she saw her assistant's amused expression. With an encouraging tone, she urged, "You're offered a much higher salary than the one you're currently getting here. The JC Group is a leading enterprise, and you're going to learn a lot from them. Besides, Lawrence Chu, the CEO already has a number of assistants. I don't think you'll have a ton of responsibilities there. Just make sure you give a good performance there, like you did here."

"Thank you so much, Ms. Alice. I promise I won't let you down. I'll do my best in all the tasks given to me there," Ivy Li gratefully replied. She had always dreamt of working for big companies like the JC Group. She used to have big plans and ambitious ideas, but then reality sank in. It was a tough world and she had resigned herself that those extravagant ambitions were not ideal and weren't for her. So to suddenly have this offer and be given a chance to work in the JC Group was definitely an unexpected blessing. One that she would hold on tight with both hands and strive hard not to waste.

Ivy Li's ecstatic reactions were contagious and Alice couldn't help but feel giddy for her. "Well what are you waiting for? Pack up your stuff. You can go to the JC Group after completing your handover," Alice said with a smile, as she waved her hand.

"Okay, boss. I will. Thank you so much, Ms. Alice!" Ivy replied, still smiling from ear to ear.

She turned and took her leave. However, she stopped by the door and turned around as a thought entered her mind. She looked at Alice sincerely and asked, "I'm really thankful, but I don't understand. Why would they give me an offer letter? Uhm, I don't think I ever went to the JC Group. Much less have been interviewed by them. Where did this offer come from? Why did they hire me?"

Seeing confusion and thankfulness evident in her assistant's face, Alice smiled and briefly answered, "You will know when you meet Mr. Lawrence."

"Oh, okay. Thanks, Ms. Alice," Ivy nodded and gave her former boss an enthusiastic wave as she left her office. She was still bemused, but decided to stop raising more questions. For sure she would know what was going on after meeting Mr. Lawrence. She trusted Alice. Thinking about how good the offer was, she was too enraptured to focus on anything else.

Watching Ivy Li skip out of her office with so much joy, Alice picked up her phone and dialed Lawrence's number.

The line clicked and Lawrence's cold voice resounded from the other line. "Hello, Alice,"

"I already gave the offer letter to her, Lawrence. I explained as much as I can, she had too many queries. She will arrive at your office later. Expect to be bombarded with quite a few excited questions from her," Alice diligently reported.

"Okay. Thank you, Alice," Lawrence said and ended the call.

He picked up his telephone and called up one of his assistants.

"Bring Ivy Li to my office the moment she arrives," he demanded.

"Okay, boss. Will do," a professional, soft voice answered from the other end of the line.
