That day I sat at my desk, staring at the potted plant, dazing for a rare moment.

I rarely had time to zone out like this. My daily work was very busy, coordinating daily work arrangements and serving as Lucas's personal assistant.

My phone was on standby 24 hours a day. As long as Lucas needed me, I had to arrive immediately, doing the work of several people alone.

Of course, Lucas also gave me a high enough annual salary. In a few years, I achieved financial freedom.

Xiao Meng called me several times before I came back to my senses.

"Sister Mia, Mr. Sterling asked me to tell you to go over and arrange the gathering tonight first."

The gathering tonight was to welcome Sebastian, who just returned from studying abroad. The attendees were all from Lucas's small circle.

The young generation of several major families, rich and noble, with eyes higher than the sky.

Logically speaking, their circle did not welcome outsiders, but there was no way, I was just too useful.

Someone who could take care of everyone's emotions and preferences and arrange the banquet in an orderly manner without making any mistakes was too rare.

When I arrived at the venue, I started arranging non-stop.

From dishes to drinks to desserts, as well as each young master's dietary restrictions and likes and dislikes, I instructed one by one.

"Take away all the lilies in the banquet, Young Master Jiang is allergic."

"Dim the lights a bit, Young Master Qin's eyes just had surgery."

"Remember to prepare the Monkey King tea that Third Young Master Shen likes."

When the sun completely set and the sky gradually darkened, people slowly came in.

The first to arrive was Caleb, who greeted me when he saw me:

"When will Lucas arrive?"

I looked at my watch and answered cautiously:

"He still has a meeting tonight, estimated to be another hour."

He slumped on the sofa, looking listless, with dark circles under his eyes, very tired.

I instructed someone to turn down the music volume, and found a blanket to hand him:

"Autumn nights are cold, don't catch a cold. It will be a while before they arrive, you rest for a bit."

He took the blanket with a smile and teased:

"By the way, really not considering dumping Lucas and jumping ship to me? I'll double your salary."

For people like them, there were too many bootlickers rushing up, so I seemed particularly special.

Because I asked for nothing from them, getting along was open and magnanimous, which won their respect instead.

Following his words, I smiled and replied:

"I'll keep that in mind. If I have nowhere to go then, please take me in, Young Master Qin."
