Time and again, he had insisted on pursuing projects that others deemed hopeless, only to later turn them into massive success stories with over 200% profits.

The assistant's role might not seem grand, but it was undeniably pivotal. Whether someone was suitable for the role could only be determined by giving them a chance.

"Understood, Mr. Harris, Zach replied. "I'll contact Miss Catherine right away."

Meanwhile, Catherine stepped out of the manager's office at the club, her spirits sinking as she stared at her empty bank balance.

She couldn't afford a cab and resigned herself to taking the subway to the hospital.

*Ding!*

Her phone buzzed with a new message.

Instinctively, she assumed it was another debt collection notice or a reminder of her mounting bills. But when she opened it, her eyes widened in disbelief—it was a job offer from the Harris Group!

She froze in her tracks, rereading the message multiple times.

It was real.

This wasn't a dream.

Though the Harris Group's job listing for an office assistant claimed to prioritize skills over degrees, she doubted her high school diploma would stand a chance. In an era dominated by candidates with advanced degrees, she had been’ rejected countless times before even getting an interview.

Still, she had decided to take a shot, and now, against all odds, she had succeeded.

Without hesitation, she replied to confirm her interest. The HR contact quickly scheduled her for an interview, providing the time and location.

Two hours later, Catherine stood before the towering Harris Group headquarters.

She caught her reflection in the glass doors and took a moment to adjust her appearance before stepping inside.

Following the instructions in the message, she contacted the designated HR representative.

To her surprise, Zach himself came down to escort her to the executive office floor.

It was only then that Catherine learned the position she had applied for was no ordinary assistant role—it was for the personal assistant to the CEO, Jerrold.

When she finally met Jerrold, her heart sank, convinced that her little white lie would be exposed.

But before she could say anything, Zach placed a document in front of her.

"Miss Catherine, being the CEO's assistant is a bit... different from a typical office role. Please review this and let us know if there's anything you're uncomfortable with."

Catherine looked from Zach to Jerrold, feeling as though her world had suddenly narrowed to just this room and these two people.

Hesitantly, she picked up the contract and began to read.
