Kristian was puzzled. “What are you getting at?”
Gerard took a deep breath and spilled his worry. “I saw your messages.” Kristian stayed cool, not thrown off by

Gerard steadied himself. “I'm not looking to date anyone right now. | can still handle the assistant job as well as

Kristian spoke earnestly. “You've been by my side for years, always reliable. Married or not, the assistant job is
yours for as long as you want it.”

Gerard hesitated. “Then why...”
Kristian was always laid-back and thoughtful, but he rarely poked into personal matters. He usually just approved
toff without digging deeper.
Kristian explained, “I've told HR to bring on two new assistants. Over the next couple of years, you'll train them.

Felipe’s advice had struck a chord with Kristian.
