“How boring. The eldest daughter of the Salvatore family has to work?” Juliet teased.
Seeing the familiar skyscrapers outside the car window, Mikayla said, “Juliet, I’ve got to go. Pick me up at Salvatore Group after work.”
As the call ended, the car had already pulled up in front of the building. Before getting off, Mikayla said to Josiah, “You don’t have to wait for me after work. Find yourself some entertainment and don’t get sick out of boredom.”
Looking at her delicate back, Josiah thought about her words, confused.

Salvatore! This way, please!”
Mikayla thought, “Looks like Dad has informed them.‘ She then followed Quinnlyn up to the 24th floor. Mikayla had visited the company with Jorge before.

“Come in!” Jorge answered.
Mikayla opened the door and saw Jorge working on the compam’s affairs. She used to wait for him to get off work in his office but never really paid attention to it. The huge office was meticulously organized, giving off a sense of authority.

Hearing his daughter call him that, Jorge’s gentle expression turned serious. “Do you know what the director of the marketing department does?” He had initially thought of giving her an easier position when he agreed to let her work at the company. But now…
“I know,” Mikayla replied
To others, including her parents, she seemed like a delicate young lady who had everything handed to her. But what they didn’t know was that to become Jaxon’s ideal wife, she had learned etiquette, instruments, languages, and also studied finance and business management by herself.
She wanted to be someone who could support his career one day. Unexpectedly, those skills came in handy today.
When Jaxon chose a university strong in finance, she secretly signed up and excelled. Her professor even praised her talent
and encouraged her to pursue further studies, but she chose love instead.

Jorge took over and read it thoroughly. His expression changed from doubt to surprise.
