"Your mother and I were just going over sdocuments." Jessica nodded, then stepped forward to link her arm with Brittany's, acting playful. "Mom, your receptionist stoppedfrom coming in. Do I really need an appointment just to see you?" Brittany glanced at her receptionist. "Next tJessica comes, just let her in." "Alright, Ms. Brewer," the receptionist replied.
Jessica smiled, satisfied. "Mom, you haven't forgotten what we talked about yesterday, right? Now that I've joined the company, where will you put me?" Brittany answered, "You can start by interning in the marketing department." What? Marketing internship? Working as a regular employee? Jessica felt a sharp sting of disappointment. She had hoped Brittany would hand her the reins to their top luxury jewelry brand and groom her into the new CEO.
"You wantto work in marketing? I don't want to!" "Then where do you want to go?" "I want to run the jewelry brand under Brewer Enterprise." Brittany exchanged a glance with Horace, who furrowed his brows "That jewelry brand is worth billions, and you have no experience in jewelry at all. She can't just hand it over to you." Brittany added, "You have to be grounded. You're my daughter, and one day, everything I have will be yours. But right now, you're not ready. You have to start at the bottom. If you work hard, you'll rise quickly." Jessica's anger flared. She pulled her arm free from Brittany's grasp. "I don't want to work in marketing!" Brittany stood her ground. "This isn't a game. I can't risk the futures of so many employees or the fate of the jewelry brand in your hands." "You don't care aboutat all! Hmph!" Jessica spun on her heel and ran off. Brittany tried to call after her. "Jessica!" But then everything went dark for Brittany, and she collapsed to the floor.
Horace reacted instantly, his arm reaching out to catch her waist and pull her gently into his arms. "Brittany? What's wrong?" Brittany's face was pale as paper. Leaning weakly against Horace, she whispered, "My head hurts." Horace asked, "Is the toxin in your body still affecting you?" She nodded faintly.
