Chapter 955: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Margie," Yvonne said, offering a warm, genuine smile that matched the friendliness in Margie's expression.
"I've had a chance to look over your resume-very impressive! And being personally chosen by Mr. Marsh himself, that's quite a feat. He'll be assigning your tasks directly to you later,” Margie remarked, her admiration evident.

As the office began to fill with employees, each moving with purpose, Yvonne observed their steady routines. A flicker of envy crossed her mind as she wished she could seamlessly fit into such an organized flow.
"Hello," a soft, polished voice broke Yvonne's reverie.
She lifted her gaze, meeting the eyes of a man who stood nearby. His features were sharp and handsome, framed by flawless skin. His smile was warm, and his voice carried the gentle tone of someone who had mastered the art of kindness. His presence felt calming, like a breeze that softened the edges of a hectic day.
As soon as their gazes met, he extended his hand in greeting.
"Hello, I'm Yvonne Jimenez," she introduced herself, rising to shake his hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ethan Marsh,” he replied, his tone warm and pleasant. With a courteous nod, he motioned for her to take a seat, then turned to pour her a glass of water.
A quiet thrill surged through Ethan as he realized it was truly her. That fleeting encounter at the racetrack had left a lasting impression, one he couldn't shake. He had returned each day, hoping for another glimpse, but she never appeared again. Who could have imagined she would end up applying to his magazine? "I've reviewed your résumé—your skills are impressive. Would you consider joiningas my assistant?” Ethan asked, his voice calm and sincere as he placed the glass of water in front of her. His smile remained warm, though inwardly, he was eager with anticipation. Meeting Yvonne had rekindled a spark in him he hadn't felt in a long time.
Yvonne took the glass, her expression steady, but a hint of disappointment shadowed her eyes. “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Marsh, but my goal is to work as an editor." She held the glass firmly, her gaze unwavering. "I've been following Stylist Magazine for stime, and while the entertainment section has been thriving, 'Nature's Essence' the core of your publication-hasn't been performing as well. I'd love the opportunity to help turn it around if you'd considerfor the role." Ethan studied her intently, intrigued by her confidence and clear sense of purpose. Her passion was palpable, and it piqued his interest even more.
"You're absolutely right,” he said thoughtfully. "Since the previous editor left, we've struggled to find a suitable replacement. If you're as eager as you seem, I think we could give you the chance. How about interning under our chief editor, Heidi Fuller?"
"Thank you!" Yvonne's voice brimmed with genuine gratitude her facem el lighting up with enthusiasm.
Ethan motioned for Heidi to cover and gave her a quiet but firm instruction. "Heidi, entrusting you to guide Yvonne. Together, you'll be the pillars of Nature's Essence moving forward."
