Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 926:

If he told her to relax and enjoy her meal, then she would gladly do so. She was in such a good mood that she even treated herself to an extra half helping of sandwich.

Shortly after she was done eating, the groceries arrived.

With the housekeeper’s help and guidance, Yvonne managed to finish cooking just before lunchtime rolled around. She took some time to snap a photo for Norton before packing up the food.

Then, she spent a few extra minutes editing the photo until it looked like something out of a fine dining magazine. The food looked even more tempting with the colors popping up.

Yvonne hummed to herself as she packed the lunchbox and set off for his office.

As soon as she stepped into the company building, she spotted Leif waiting at the front desk. It seemed that Norton had given him instructions beforehand. Leif greeted her with a smile as he took the lunchbox from her hands. “I’ll take you upstairs.”

They were in the elevator when Yvonne remembered something. She circled around him, studying him as she did so.

Leif found himself bristling under her gaze. “Mrs. Burke, what’s wrong?” he asked tentatively.

“Leif, would you mind doing me a little favor?”

Yvonne’s eyes lit up. The more she looked at Leif, the more convinced she was that he was the perfect person for the job. After all, he had graduated from a top university and was now Norton’s trusted assistant. He seemed like the ideal candidate to help her polish her resume. Besides, Norton had already agreed to let her work, so borrowing his assistant for something like this shouldn’t be an issue. As Norton’s wife, she technically owned half of the company too, which made her somewhat Leif’s boss. It would be a shame to waste his talents.

“Anything you need,” Leif replied lightly, trying to appear nonchalant, though he silently hoped she wouldn’t ask for something too complicated.

“Norton finally agreed to let me find a job. I’ve prepared my resume, but I don’t really have much experience. I’m worried I might just get rejected from my applications. Do you think you can help me spruce it up a bit?”

Leif let out a sigh of relief and nodded. Thankfully, it wasn’t anything too tricky. Since Norton himself had agreed, it was only natural for Leif to lend a helping hand to Yvonne. He relaxed slightly, and they exited the elevator. “Then, I’ll send you my résumé and requirements later. Please take some time to look them over, okay?”

Yvonne took the lunchbox from Leif and walked to Norton’s office with a spring in her step. She knocked before entering, finding Norton buried in stacks of documents.

He looked as sharp as ever, his demeanor composed despite the pressures of work. His jet-black suit lent him an air of refined authority, the perfect complement to his reserved personality.

Yvonne plopped down on the couch and observed him in silence. She couldn’t help but sigh to herself. There was something undeniably attractive about a man who was so engrossed in his work.noveldrama
