That was the first time Selena and I shared happy moments together. Although it was tough, it was the only time we truly experienced the hardships together.
Back then, Selena wasn't the heiress of the Norman family. She was just a freshman working at the factory to support herself.
Without the halo of her prestigious background, she would get scolded and cry in the hallway for not doing well. To me, that version of Selena was simply a kind-hearted girl who needed encouragement.
She looked up at me with her teary eyes and asked, "Hudson, do you think I'll be able to solve the issues at the company if I go back?"
Looking into her eyes, I felt a sudden jolt, as if something within me had been awakened. Realizing this, I frowned and quickly turned away, avoiding her gaze.
"It's okay, Selena. Don't be afraid. Just go back to the company confidently. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me for help. I'll be there for you."
In the end, I successfully persuaded Selena to return to the company.
We consulted with the doctor about her condition and paid for additional check-ups.
Three days later, the results came in. Her health was fine, and her condition had stabilized.
After that, Selena called Zion to help with her discharge procedures and to escort her back to the company to reacquaint herself with the business.
Although Zion was upset, he had no choice but to comply with Selena's request.
Zion's eyes widened as he looked at me, but he could only keep quiet under Selena's determined gaze.
Looking up, I noticed some employees glancing between me and Zion, looking confused.
Perhaps they thought that Selena had shifted her favor and replaced Zion with a new "favorite".
I followed Selena back to her office. Looking at me, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it, Hudson? Are you unhappy with the assistant role?"
