Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 277 The Darling in His Arms
"That's just the base salary, not including bonuses and other perks," Victoria said with a slight smile. "With everything added together, my annual paycheck is close to $200,000." "Gosh, I'm so jealous." Sadie couldn't hide her envy.
"Don't underestimate the role of a secretary. With the right dedication, the sky's the limit," Victoria advised earnestly. "If you want a good life, you've got to work hard for it and not just drift through your days." Hearing that, Sadie felt a pang of shame she had to admit, she had never been particularly ambitious in her career.
"Keep pushing." Victoria sighed. "Your dad was an incredible man. I have faith that you can be, too!"
Sadie was taken aback. "You knew my father?"
"Mr. Roth of the Roth Group? Who wouldn't recognize his name?" Victoria said lightly, skirting around the subject. "The Roth surname is unusual, and your remarkable poise makes it easy to put two and two together." "Oh," muttered Sadie, preferring not to dwell on the past.
"We're nearly there. Take a look at the documents to get acquainted."
"Okay."
...
After a two-hour drive, they finally arrived at Noble Summit.
Victoria parked the car by the golf club and walked with Sadie toward the green.
Upon learning their purpose, the staff member greeted them with reverence and promptly arranged a tour cart to take them to Micah.
Sadie had been to this place before. After all, her father had been a regular, often entertaining clients here.
"Isn't that Mr. Clemens?" Victoria pointed to a figure in the distance on the course.
Sadie looked up to see the familiar silhouette indeed, it was Micah, holding someone petite and delicate... undoubtedly, Amelia!
"Uh..." Victoria's expression froze, and she turned awkwardly toward Sadie. "I'll take the documents over myself. You wait here for me."
While others at the company were sluggish to notice, Victoria had seen it all along the special bond between Sadie and Micah.
Direct access to Mr. Clemens' office for Sadie had been an explicit order from Andrew, and any issues that arose were personally negotiated by him.
Everyone was aware that Andrew was Micah's right-hand man; his words were essentially Micah's directives.
Micah was famously impersonal, a man who didn't do favors except for Sadie, who seemed to be the exception to his rules again and again. Naturally, Victoria was privy to all these subtleties-something she wouldn't overlook.
"Got it," Sadie replied, pulling her gaze back with a poised expression.
Her heart might have rippled with emotion, but her face betrayed nothing.
She understood her relationship with Micah was a contractual affair, merely a game. The first one to fall for real was the loser.
Desirelessness was strength, and indifference meant no heartache. This had become her motto, her line in the sand that she dared not cross. The golf cart halted nearby, and Amelia's excited voice echoed. "Wow, I nailed it, Micah! I'm so awesome!"
Micah nodded slightly. "Not bad."
"Teach me some more! My moves aren't quite on point yet." Amelia leaned closer to Micah.
"Let Mr. Waters give you pointers."
Micah casually tossed his golf club to Andrew and turned to leave, but his eyes fell upon Sadie and Victoria, standing by the cart.
"Mr. Clemens!" Victoria approached briskly with documents in hand. "I've got the papers you requested."
Sadie remained still, lowering her head in a swift nod of respect. She then stood quietly, her gaze directed downward.
Micah spared her a glance and instructed Victoria, "Hand these to Amelia."
"Yes." Victoria stepped forward, respectfully presenting the documents to Amelia. "Ms. Amelia."
"Thank you." Amelia smiled warmly, taking the papers. "I appreciate you making the trip."
"It's no trouble at all," Victoria quickly replied.
"We're just about to have lunch, join us," Amelia called. She then caught up to Micah and naturally slipped her arm through his before turning to Sadie. "Come with us!"
