When Angelica Sebastian entered the PR room, she found her typically serious and cautious colleagues gathered in a group, whispering fervently about something. Suspicion filled her mind as she wanted to inquire about the matter, primarily upon seeing her colleague and good friend Nini engaged in the discussion. Suddenly, the head of the PR department, Larey, emerged from her office. Despite being in her fifties, she maintained a graceful and elegant demeanor, immediately restoring tranquility to the room.

With a slightly amused expression, Larey, unable to conceal the wrinkles around her eyes, glanced at the beautiful women in the PR room before addressing them in a superior tone, "Yuan, Mei, Angelica, Lily, come to my office for a moment!"

Angelica was surprised by the summons but promptly followed her four female colleagues into Larey's office.

Inside the office, Larey chuckled as she looked at the four beautiful women before her.

Yuan, unsure of the reason for Larey's amused demeanor, hastily asked, "Director, is there a difficult client requiring our social presence?"

The PR department, responsible for various minor company tasks, typically involved employees attending important events. Therefore, meeting and socializing with clients were essential duties.

Mei speculated, "Which client requires all four of us to attend?"

Lily, annoyed, exclaimed, "I don't care how important the client is! Last time, I almost got cornered by the passionate old man, Mr. Chen, from the Yi family's corporation. I refuse to entertain that lecherous old man again!!"

Angelica remained silent, calmly standing her ground.

Larey glanced over everyone's expressions as they voiced their opinions, finally stopping at Angelica's exquisite face. With a slight smirk, she chuckled, "What if I told you that this time, I'm sending you to meet the CEO of 'Harris Corp'?"

"What?"

The three exclaimed in astonishment, except for Angelica.

Larey seemed to anticipate their reaction, her smile deepening.

Lily swallowed nervously, her eyes widening in disbelief as she asked, "Director Larey, could you repeat what you just said?"

Larey slowly said, "Indeed, the CEO will arrive in New York City tomorrow evening at eight. He will be working here for the next six months. I hope that tomorrow, the four of you can accompany some senior executives of the company to assist in welcoming the CEO at the Clover Hotel."

"Wow!"

A series of astonished exclamations came from the three, except for Angelica.

Satisfied with their reactions, Larey suddenly focused on Angelica, who remained silent throughout. She raised an eyebrow, asking gently, "Angelica, why aren't you saying anything?"

Angelica looked embarrassed and softly replied, "Um, Director, may I not go tomorrow... It's my father's birthday, and I'd like to spend the day with him at home."

"Angelica, spending time with your father can happen any day, but the chance to meet the CEO maybe once in a lifetime..." Mei reminded her in a hushed tone.

Yuan leaned in and whispered to Angelica, "You know the CEO is still single, right? Director Larey is giving us a 'secret' opportunity here!"

"Huh..."

Larey chuckled, "Angelica, if tomorrow is your father's birthday, spend the morning with him, and you can come to the office in the evening."

After leaving Director Larey's office, Nini's curiosity got the best of her, and she asked Angelica, "Why did Director Larey call everyone into her office?"

Before Angelica could respond, urgent voices erupted from the other three women in the PR room.

"Oh my, my skin has been so dry these past two days. I need to use a hydrating face mask..."

"Ugh, I'm breaking out. It's so annoying..."

"Sigh, I shouldn't have eaten those fatty foods..."

Nini glanced at the three restless women before looking suspiciously at Angelica. "Hey, what's going on with them? Suddenly, they all seem so insecure. Could a client be needing their careful attention?"

Angelica resumed her seat, calmly stating, "Tomorrow, the CEO will be arriving in City Y. He's rumored to be working here for six months. Director Larey wants us to accompany some senior executives to welcome him at the Clover Hotel."

Nini blinked curiously. "The CEO? Which CEO?"

Angelica looked at Nini seriously, answering carefully, "Apart from the widely renowned CEO of 'Harris Corp,' Aurelius Harris, who else could make them so unconfident?"

After confirming, Angelica glanced at the three women sitting nervously, preoccupied with their reflections in the mirror.

"... Aurelius Harris?" Nini stammered suddenly, her eyes widening in shock. "You mean the CEO of our company?"

Angelica nodded affirmatively.

"Oh my goodness..." Nini covered her mouth in disbelief, visibly excited. "The young CEO who's been with the company for only three years, right?"

Angelica nodded.

Nini stood there in stunned silence for a while.

No wonder those women became so insecure after hearing the news...

It's known outside that Aurelius is a legendary figure in the business world.

They say he took over the 'Harris Corp' almost bankrupt from his father at 18, and in just a few short months, he revived the company. Now 'Harris Corp' has expanded its business worldwide, currently occupying the number one position in Asia.

Moreover, the mysterious CEO at the top of the business world is still very young, extraordinarily talented, and still single, truly a top-tier bachelor.

After a while, Nini regained her composure and asked Angelica, "What did you just say? Did you say Director Larey wants you all to go to the hotel to welcome the CEO with the senior executives?"

Angelica nodded gently. "Yes, the CEO rarely comes here, so the company naturally needs to arrange this!"

Nini pouted sadly. "Why did Director Larey call you four specifically? With your looks, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to meet the CEO!" Of course, Director Larey wants the CEO to meet the most outstanding employees of the company.

Angelica objected, "Nini, don't say that. Although we're tasked with welcoming the CEO, it's just a regular social event; it's part of our job."

Nini disagreed, "Who knows? He's the CEO of 'Harris Corp,' after all. If he notices any of you during the event and then spends the whole night... you know..."

Angelica frowned, "Do you think our PR team is like those in a strip club?"
