Chapter 685 Yolanda Causes Trouble

Victoria's voice was sweet and full of confidence.

"Alright, let me summarize the meeting. All departments have achieved excellent results over the past three years, but mistakes in these key areas have caused our profit margins to drop. Please look at the big screen."

Victoria not only took detailed meeting notes but also identified problems in each department.

Her words were precise and her perspective unique, which not only amazed Yolanda but also made Paxon smile.

The executives present no longer had the same attitude as when they first walked in, nodding repeatedly as they watched Victoria.

"Mr. Winters' young secretary may be young, but she has a sharp eye. She's perfect for this industry. Looks like we're getting old - some of our investment ideas can't keep up with these young people."

"Yeah, no wonder Mr. Winters thinks so highly of her."

Faced with everyone's praise, Victoria didn't get proud. Instead, she smiled modestly: "I just like to study things carefully. Maybe I was good at playing Spot the Difference as a kid. I really don't know much."

"Haha, Mr. Cross is quite funny. You might fool others, but not me. Based on my experience in this industry, this isn't a newcomer's knowledge - you've been in the field for at least three to five years."

Seeing everyone praising Victoria, Yolanda bit her teeth in frustration and said: "Since Mr. Cross has such good judgment, I have a project that needs someone to help review it. I'd like to ask Mr. Cross for help."

Victoria smiled: "Ms. Sharp, Mr. Winters only pays me $3,000 a month, while you make a million dollars a year. Do you think it's appropriate to ask me to help with your project? Aren't you giving me too much credit? Aren't you afraid it'll hurt your reputation as a top investment expert?"

These words made Yolanda's expression change.

Yolanda forced a smile: "I just thought Ms. Cross was quite talented and wanted to give you a chance to practice."

Victoria raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Sharp, but I don't need this opportunity. As a secretary, I just need to do my job well. Taking care of Mr. Winters is what matters most to me, isn't it?"

Turning down such a good opportunity right away. Yolanda couldn't help but laugh: "Since Mr. Cross puts it that way, I guess I was overthinking. I originally wanted to give you a chance to practice, so you could keep up with Mr. Winters and not fall too far behind, which might affect your future work."

Her meaning couldn't be clearer.

She was basically saying Victoria wasn't good enough for Paxon.

Victoria didn't get angry. Instead, she looked at Paxon and asked with a smile: "Mr. Winters, is that how you see me too?"

Paxon's eyes had been fixed on her.

Victoria's performance today really surprised him.

In his mind, Victoria was just a girl who loved eating and having fun.

She never put studying first growing up.

When did she learn all this investment knowledge?

Why would she study such boring stuff?

Paxon's fingers tapped the table casually, his voice low: "Mr. Cross has already exceeded my expectations. I'm very satisfied with your abilities. If you want to learn anything else, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to teach you? No need to bother others."

Not only did Paxon say in front of everyone that he would personally teach a secretary, but he also called Yolanda "others."

This was clearly humiliating Yolanda, and her expression grew darker.

She had worked with Paxon for three years - was she really not as good as Victoria?

After the meeting, Yolanda ran into Victoria in the restroom.

She smiled slightly: "Ms. Cross seems to take this job quite seriously, being able to make so many suggestions. Mr. Winters must have helped you a lot."

Victoria raised an eyebrow dismissively: "Ms. Sharp, don't you think you're asking too many questions? Are we that close?"

"Mr. Cross, don't get too proud. You think making a few suggestions in a meeting means something? Actually making money for ZERO Corporation is what really matters."

Victoria smiled: "Why would I need to make money for Paxon? Is my dad's company going bankrupt? Or is my mom not getting paid for her movies anymore? The one thing I never have to worry about is money. I guess that's something Ms. Sharp will never understand."

These words deeply hurt Yolanda.

Some people are born in Rome, and Victoria was one of them.

Even if she did nothing, she'd still be better off than those who fought tooth and nail.

This was what it meant to be rich - there was always a gap between them that could never be crossed.

Yolanda angrily threw the paper towel into the trash.

She thought that having a professor father meant the gap between her and Paxon wasn't that big.

But after seeing Victoria, she felt truly inferior.

That natural sense of superiority that came with being from a wealthy family was something she could never learn in her lifetime.

She bit her teeth hard in anger: Victoria, I won't let you have Paxon so easily.

Soon it was time to get off work.

Victoria got a call from Kieran and rushed out.

The man in a white suit leaned against a purple sports car, looking both cool and carefree.

Seeing Victoria come out, he immediately waved at her: "Victoria."

Victoria ran over, but she forgot she was wearing heels to work today.

After just a few steps, she twisted her ankle.

She fell right into Kieran's arms.

Kieran teased with a laugh: "Haven't seen me in days and you miss me this much? Throwing yourself into my arms."

Victoria glared at him: "You still have the nerve to laugh. If I really hurt my ankle, no one will race you, and our bet is off."

"No way, I still want you to be my wife."

Their every move was caught by Yolanda.

She took out her phone and started recording.

Then she sent it to Paxon.
