Chapter 374 - PA (1/2)
”You look so f.u.c.k.i.n.g s.e.xy, I could cry,” Chynna complimented, wiping a faux tear from her eyes. She reached for her phone and took a picture of her best friend.
”I'm supposed to look professional, not like a s.e.x worker,”
Amy protested but blushed despite herself, as she shrugged into the outfit Chynna had laid out for her. before picking up her bag and looking at herself in the mirror. Chynna was right, she did look really good.
”You are going to kill it at the office today, I promise,”
The taller, brown-haired Chynna assured, hugging her best friend from behind and planting a kiss on her cheek.
”Let me drop you off at the office, then I'll go and get ready. I have a ton of shoots today, I might die.”
Taking in a deep breath, Amy put on her high heeled shoes, then slipped on her horn-rimmed spectacles. Stepping into the living room, she looked up at the portrait of her smiling parents.
'Wish me luck mom and dad.' She wished silently as she stepped out with her friend.
City M seemed to just be waking up, its crisp September air blowing in Amy's face as Chynna drove her to work in her red convertible.
The county-level city was northwest of the Qinghai Province and not very urbanized. In fact, the Wu Corporation where Amy had only just found work, fondly called WUCORP by the townspeople, was one of, if not the biggest, attractions in the city.
”Are you still nervous, Amy?” Chynna asked, placing a well-manicured hand on Amy's leg, without looking away from the road.
”A little. I don't think I'm qualified enough for this job, Chynna. What if they ask me some difficult questions and I can't answer them?”
”Amy, listen, the job is already yours. There is absolutely no need to worry about things like that. You literally studied Business Marketing. Any good firm knows how important it is to have a professional business marketer on the team.
Besides, you have always been so positive about getting what you're due. What changed?” Chynna asked with real concern.
”But I haven't really had any real experience since graduating. Besides, I'm only going in as the boss's plaything,”
Amy sighed, adjusting her thick framed glasses in a nervous movement, still not convinced but glad that she had Chynna there with her.
”Self-deprecatory, much?” Chynna shot her friend a nasty look for a split second before focusing back on the road. ”You're going there as a direct assistant to the boss, that's what.
You probably don't know it, but so many people would give a lot to be in your position right now. As the Personal Assistant to the CEO, you can wield a lot more influence than most people.”
They drove in silence for the next few minutes while she let herself space out some more.
”We're here.”
”Holy shit.”
”It's huge, I know.” Chynna commented, knowing exactly what her best friend was thinking.
