Chapter 41 How Well Do You Know Your Husband?

Mia's expression changed, and her gaze toward Stella became different.

She really didn't expect this!

If she put herself in Stella's shoes, she would definitely prioritize her own selfishness.

After all, she wasn't a saint.

"It seems that I lack the most basic judgment of human nature!" Mia smiled and said, "Stella, you're usually quiet, but your speech makes a lot of sense!"

"My judgment may not always be correct." Stella chuckled. "But Liam told me that one should never let their guard down and should always be cautious. He also said that those who hold high positions have gone through a very difficult process to get there, so they are far from being as simple as they appear."

"Oh, so has your husband become your life mentor?"

Mia originally meant it as a teasing remark, but Stella couldn't stop boasting about her husband.

"Of course, Liam knows so much!" Stella couldn't hide her pride. "Mia, you know what? I often see him browsing foreign websites. He can read several languages, and he is interested in current politics and economics!"

"What?" Mia also found it unbelievable.

Thinking back to when she first met Liam, she could feel the imposing pressure and strong aura emanating from him. If she didn't know that he had been in fights and even been to jail, she would have thought he was an extraordinary figure.

"Stella, how much do you know your husband?"

Stella was taken aback. "Why are you asking this?"

Mia smirked and said, "Just casual conversation! You make him sound so amazing, so I'm curious about him now!" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Stella smiled innocently, but then she realized that she didn't know much about Liam. Besides knowing about his "glorious past" and that he had no family, she didn't know much else.

The next day, as soon as Stella went to the office, she was called into Benjamin's office.

Stella felt a bit uneasy, but Benjamin smiled kindly at her and asked his secretary to bring her coffee. He sat across from her, calmly observing her.

"So you're Stella." Benjamin chuckled. "I've heard that there's a talented person in the Sales Department who secured a deal with Mr. Davis in just the second month of joining the company. I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got the chance!"

"Mr. Thompson, you flatter me." Stella put down her coffee cup, maintaining a confident attitude. "Actually, you can meet me whenever you want. But you're usually busy, and my performance in the Sales Department is not particularly outstanding."

Benjamin squinted his eyes and scrutinized her from head to toe again.

Stella not only looked beautiful but also spoke properly. Her few sentences were flawless. She didn't embarrass him, nor did she show off her achievements. She was indeed a talented individual. No wonder his niece was so wary of her.

But the company was in need of talents right now. If he lost such a capable employee, it would be a loss for the company.

He could scheme against Stella anytime, but he couldn't do it openly. He wanted her to suffer, but in the eyes of others, it would be seen as the company and the leader valuing her.

That was how he could achieve his goal.

Benjamin touched the gold ring on his hand and revealed a sly smile.

"Stella, the reason I called you here today is that I have a task to assign to you."

Stella looked up at him.

"The company has always wanted to march into the Emberfall market, and we've been planning for this for years." Benjamin said casually, "But the Emberfall market is difficult to enter with many companies and limited profits. Everyone is eyeing it. Our company doesn't have any special advantages, so we can only watch others make money."

"Now, with two key members leaving the Sales Department and taking away many clients, the market situation has become extremely challenging."

"So a few shareholders and I discussed it, and we decided to promote young people who are capable and have a track record."

Stella furrowed her eyebrows, her heart pounding.

Benjamin smiled at her, a hint of complexity flickering in his eyes. "Stella, we all agree that you are very suitable for this position."

"Mr. Thompson, are you suggesting..."

"Those who can handle more tasks should bear more responsibilities." Benjamin emphasized each word, "It's most suitable for you to develop the Emberfall market."

Stella turned her eyes and suddenly felt a sense of unease in the bottom of her heart.

"We have all seen the several sales plans you have done before, and they are perfect." Benjamin praised her. "Your performance speaks for itself, and your abilities are outstanding. Everyone doesn't want to miss out on such a talented person like you!"

"Stella, if the market development in Emberfall is successful, the board of directors will not just let you be a sales team leader. They will break the rule and promote you to the sales manager, replacing Daniel. What do you think?"

After walking out of Benjamin's office, Stella took a few deep breaths to suppress her racing heart.

She patted her face, furrowed her eyebrows, and her mind went blank and chaotic.

She hadn't been in the workplace for long and had been handling everything based on instinct. She can't figure out what Benjamin was thinking. What game was he playing? Was she just a pawn or a cannon fodder?

The position of sales manager was very tempting, and she also thought that developing the Emberfall market was a challenging job.

But was this an opportunity or danger?

Stella sighed and wanted to go back to her desk to think it over. However, someone walked toward her and sneered at her.
