Throughout the meeting, Penelope hadn’t spoken much, but by the end of it, she was utterly drained.

As she tried to collect herself, Rianel approached her.

“You have quite the spirited secretary. How exactly did you discover someone like Ivetta?”

“Caught her kissing her boyfriend under the school wall,” Penelope thought, clearing her throat. She knew that wasn’t the answer Rianel was looking for.

“He probably wants to hear how I recognized her talents and hired her as a secretary.”

Penelope decided to keep her explanation brief.

“I was lucky.”

Penelope felt a bead of sweat roll down her back.

“Wait, could he be interested in Ivetta?”

“What if they get married?”@@novelbin@@
