Ten years passed, and Amanda grew into a beautiful, intelligent, and kind young woman.
She had completed her university education with excellent grades and was now searching for a good job to begin her career.
Although her family was financially comfortable, Amanda wanted to succeed through her own hard work rather than depend on her parents’ wealth.
One morning, she dressed neatly in a white blouse, a black skirt, and matching heels before leaving for an interview at Lord City Group, the largest and most successful company in the world.
The company was owned by the famous billionaire and CEO, Mr.
Khan, a man admired for his intelligence, wealth, and extraordinary business achievements.
Many people dreamed of working for him, while countless women wished they could one day become his wife.
When Amanda arrived at the company’s magnificent headquarters, she was amazed by its beauty.
The towering glass building reflected the morning sunlight, making it look like a palace in the heart of the city.
She walked into the reception area and politely informed the receptionist that she had come for an interview.
She was asked to wait until her turn.
As Amanda sat quietly, several female employees glanced at her before whispering among themselves.
“Look at her,” one of them said with a smirk.
“She’s far too beautiful.
I don’t think she’s here to apply for a job.”
Another laughed.
“She’s probably here to seduce the CEO.
Just like the others.”
Their mocking laughter filled the waiting room.
Amanda heard every word, but she chose to remain silent.
She believed that arguing with strangers would only create unnecessary trouble.
Finally, the receptionist called her name.
“Miss Amanda, the CEO is ready to see you.”
Amanda stood up, thanked the receptionist, and walked confidently toward the CEO’s office.
She gently knocked on the large wooden door.
“Come in,” a deep voice replied.
Amanda opened the door and stepped inside.
The office was spacious and beautifully decorated.
Behind a large desk sat a young man dressed in an expensive black suit.
The moment Amanda looked at him, she froze.
He was unbelievably handsome.
His sharp features, calm expression, and commanding presence left Amanda speechless.
For a moment, she completely forgot why she had come.
Mr.
Khan noticed her silence and smiled faintly.
“Miss Amanda?”
She quickly returned to her senses.
“I’m…
I’m sorry, sir.”
“It’s alright,” he replied kindly.
“Please, have a seat.”
Amanda sat down nervously as Mr.
Khan reviewed her documents.
After reading through her qualifications, he looked up and nodded with satisfaction.
“Your academic results are impressive,” he said.
“You are intelligent, disciplined, and highly recommended.”
Amanda smiled politely.
“Thank you, sir.”
Mr.
Khan closed the file.
“I have decided to employ you as my Personal Assistant.”
Amanda’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Really, sir?”
“Yes,” he answered.
“Your monthly salary will be three thousand dollars, along with other company benefits.”
Amanda could hardly believe what she had heard.
“Thank you so much, sir.
I promise to work hard and never disappoint you.”
Mr.
Khan smiled.
“I believe you won’t.”
He stood up and extended his hand.
“Welcome to Lord City Group.”
Amanda happily shook his hand.
“Thank you, sir.”
“You may resume work tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll be here on time.”
After thanking him once again, Amanda left the office with excitement written all over her face.
As she stepped into the hallway, the same employees who had mocked her earlier surrounded her.
“So,” one of them sneered, “did the CEO reject you?”
Another folded her arms.
“Or did you successfully charm him?”
Amanda ignored them and continued walking.
Angered by her silence, a woman named Chily stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Amanda.
Before her hand could land, a firm voice echoed through the hallway.
“Stop!”
Everyone turned around.
Mr.
Khan had stepped out of his office.
He walked calmly toward them, his expression cold.
“No employee of this company has the right to bully another,” he said firmly.
He looked at Amanda before turning to the others.
“Miss Amanda is my new Personal Assistant.
From today onward, she works directly under me.”
The employees stared in disbelief.
Mr.
Khan’s eyes settled on Chily.
“As for you, your behavior is unacceptable.”
He spoke without hesitation.
“You are fired.”
Chily’s face turned pale.
“Sir…
please, give me another chance.”
“I’ve made my decision.”
Security officers immediately escorted her out of the building.
The remaining employees lowered their heads in shame.
Mr.
Khan turned to Amanda.
“I apologize for what happened.”
Amanda smiled gratefully.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Go home and prepare for your first day tomorrow.”
“Yes, sir.”
With a joyful heart, Amanda left Lord City Group, unaware that her meeting with the mysterious CEO had only marked the beginning of a destiny written long before either of them knew the truth.
