Two days later, Natalie started her new job. A young woman being appointed as the deputy director of the finance department naturally caused a stir, with everyone speculating about her background and connections.
On her first day, Natalie went to Nathan's office. She had dressed in a formal suit, her long hair, usually tied in a ponytail, was now slightly curled, and she wore light makeup. She looked both competent and beautiful, with a serious expression and a strong presence. She didn't look like a recent college graduate at all, and Chris, Nathan's right-hand man, discreetly observed her.
"Please wait a moment; I'll announce your arrival," Chris said.
"Thank you," Natalie smiled and nodded, knowing that building a good relationship with Chris was a smart move.
