Chapter: 303

Sean, with a casual wave of his hand, dismissed her curiosity.

“Business matters can be complex. I recall you mentioned something about the Grace Cup. A fashion design competition, right? Fashion design hasn't been your interest, so why the sudden decision to compete?"

Susanna, making herself comfortable on the sofa, shrugged. "It's merely for amusement. With both you and Norah busy, I find myself alone and in need of a distraction."

She continued, "Lately, I've grown fond of Noelle's designs. Knowing she's judging the Grace Cup, I signed up on a whim."

"Then make the most of it," Sean encouraged, his attention still on the breakfast.

Susanna sighed. “I know Little about fashion design. My plan is to read up a bit and then dive in. I'm not after fame. I just wish to meet Noelle."

Susanna's fleeting hobbies were well-known, her ventures supported by the financial backing of her family.

"I'll accompany you to the company later," Susanna declared, heading upstairs to apply her makeup, leaving Sean to his thoughts and the eggs sizzling in the pan. He pondered when he might savor a meal prepared by Norah.

Susanna had always wanted to visit Nexa Tech. She had explored every company under his guidance but had yet to step foot in Nexa Tech.

Upon their arrival, Susanna observed the company's facade. “It appears just like any other tech firm. Why would my brother invest in such a modest venture? It seems a lot of effort for minimal gain."

Phillip briefed Sean on the company's status. “The intricate details are outlined in the documents made by Amabel. Mr. Scott, please review them at your leisure."

Sean, maintaining his cool exterior away from home, simply nodded.

His aloof presence left an impression, making him seem distant yet undeniably captivating.

The receptionists couldn't help but be charmed by the handsome and affluent Sean, wondering who would eventually win his heart.

Noticing Susanna accompanying Sean, the receptionists speculated about her relationship with Sean. Given Susanna's youth, she seemed an unlikely match for Sean's affection. They recalled the woman who had been caught in the rain with Sean before, considering her a more probable match.

Phillip and Susanna made their way straight to Sean's office, where Susanna spotted a competent woman briefing Sean. She turned to Phillip, puzzled. "Who is that? When did Sean hire a female secretary?"

Susanna's brow furrowed, betraying a hint of displeasure. It wasn't that she had anything against female secretaries. It was just that she preferred not seeing any women close to Sean except for Norah.

Since Sean had special feelings for Norah, Susanna supposed Sean's maintaining a distance from others of the opposite sex was prudent.

And with Phillip already serving as the personal assistant, the need for a female secretary for Sean puzzled her.

As Susanna settled onto the sofa, Phillip leaned in to whisper, "That's Amabel Morris, Sean's new secretary. The company brought her on board."

That name struck a chord with Susanna. She had been upset with Sean over the one-to-one meet-up between Sean and Amabel just days ago. It seemed Norah was upset because of that. Why was Amabel working as Sean's secretary?

Susanna's grip on Phillip's tie drew him closer as she whispered with a chill in her voice, "Who decided to hire her?"

Phillip, his cheeks flushing at the proximity, quickly regained his composure, ignoring the sweet scent wafting from Susanna. He whispered back, "Amabel applied with her resume. Her outstanding credentials made the HR team decide to bring her on board."

Susanna couldn't hide her annoyance. "And what does Sean think about this? He assured me they were just friends and hadn't even shared a meal at all. There was supposed to be no continuation!"
