My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 302

I asked with a frown, "You didn't list any vacancy for the project department here... Can you put me in the project department? It doesn't matter even if I start from the bottom."

Irvin nodded, "Okay, the Project Director for the company had just quitted not long ago because something came up at home. You can take the job."

Taken aback by his prompt reply, I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you make the decision so hastily? Aren't you afraid that I'm not qualified enough? Won't you be afraid that I'll ruin your company?" He glimpsed at me and smiled, "Will you?"

The corner of my lips lifted, "It's hard to tell." After all, I hadn't worked for almost a year.

At the crossroads with a red light, he put his elbow on the steering wheel, and looked at me with his head resting on his hand, "You were the vice director for the Project Department of the Roberts Group, weren't you? If you can easily manage your work as the vice director at such a complex project department, managing the project department in Granger Group should be a piece of cake for you."

I didn't know what to think about his blind trust. Irvin was also too humble about his company. The Granger Group was a huge and international company. Although the Roberts Group was nearly the same in size, it was still lacking in certain areas.

The traffic downtown was bad as usual. As Irvin drove, he gave me a rough account of the development of the Granger Group. He also told me about some of the company's recent projects and events, which gave me a rough idea of what was going on.

Since Yohannes wasn't in good health, Irvin was basically the one who managed the entire company. Sometimes, he would also face some problems that he couldn't solve. He wanted me to work for him in the company because it benefited him.

He needed someone he trusted as his aides.

The car drove straight into Central Park Residence in the city center. Irvin pulled up in front of a residential building.

Looking around at the surroundings, I was surprised. This was the heart of the city, and the housing price was impressively high. The middle classes could hardly afford a house in this area.

Seeing that I was still in bewilderment, Irvin smiled, "I'll take you in and let you have a look at your house first. If you think you need anything, we'll go and buy it later."

I glanced at the time and asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"

He grinned, "Don't you remember? Today's a holiday!"

Embarrassed, I laughed with him weakly.

After entering the elevator in the building, Irvin said, "Let's see what you need at home, and we can buy it at the nearby supermarket later. And since we're not far away from the company, I'll bring you to the company on Monday. Then, you can let me know if there's anything else you need."

I nodded and felt that I was probably the one who needed to worry the least when going to work at a new job. The boss had already set up everything.

The house Irvin had picked for me was on the tenth floor. It wasn't too high, and it wasn't too large. It was about 1600 square feet, and it was modern and comfortably furnished. It was a welcoming change from the villa.

Looking at the decorations of the apartment, I couldn't help but ask Irvin, "The rent here should be pricey, right? I'm guessing it's more than a hundred thousand dollars. Especially that we're in Jarold City, where the usable land was already so sacred."

Irvin raised his brows, "Are you worried about the rent?"

I shook my head and smiled, "I'm just curious about what real estate investors usually think. You bought a house and decorated it so nicely, but you won't rent it out or even live in it. It's such a waste!"

Suddenly, I thought of Hendrix. He also liked to invest in properties like this. Thinking of him, I could feel the tears gathering in my eyes. I lowered my head to recollect my composure.

Irvin didn't notice my abnormality. He smiled and replied, "But you're staying here now, aren't you? It's never a waste."

I still couldn't understand his logic, but I didn't say anything. I began to walk around the house, and I didn't think there was anything I needed to add to the house until I came to the kitchen. There was nothing much in the kitchen. Irvin probably thought that I didn't know how to cook, so he didn't make much effort in furnishing it.

"Well, do you need anything else?" Irvin asked while coming to grab my hand to register my fingerprints into the house security system.

I nodded and said, "Since you're not doing anything tonight, why don't we make dinner at home? I'll call Monique and lan to invite them to come over later. You know, to catch up with them. I've been out of touch with the world when I was away."
