Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1942

He continued, "In the corporate world, an assistant is a confidant. Look at Noah. He basically represents my uncle. There isn't a single thing happening at Cedillo Inc. that he doesn't know about. From the overseas branches to the subsidiaries, he has the same level of authority as the top executives. Do you know why?"

Anya blinked. "Because Noah is the man closest to Mr. Andre."

"Exactly," Leo said. "Being an assistant isn't easy. When you run into issues like this, you need to learn how to handle them yourself without alarming your boss. Solving it on your own is how you grow.

"Veterans in the workplace understand the dynamic between a boss and an assistant." Leo opened his eyes. "Ms. Anya, go to the office tomorrow and figure out exactly who is talking behind your back."

"Do you think someone is purposely stirring the pot?" Anya asked.

"I'm not sure. But you need to stand your ground. Don't let their glares or snide remarks mess with your head or make you doubt yourself.

"Janice treats you well because you did her a massive favor. But trust me, she isn't impulsive. She's not going to blatantly play favorites in front of the whole company."

Anya cuddled closer, nodding against his chest. "You're so smart. I learned something new again."

Leo chuckled. "See? Hugging your boyfriend is way more useful than hugging a stuffed bear."

Anya fell silent. "Anya? Babe?"

She was wide awake but refused to make a sound.

Leo sighed, catching on immediately. "Fine. Next time you have a problem, go ask the bear for advice."

"No, I'm asking you. You're smarter than the bear."

"Who's more important, me or the bear?"

It took Anya an agonizingly long time before she begrudgingly muttered, "You, I guess."
