Chapter 958: Chapter 879 New Adjustments_2

Fortunately, this inner office was used by her alone, and her assistants were all outside; otherwise, someone else would have seen her.

She was twenty-seven years old this year, not old by any means, but she already had her own independent office within the Duma Building!

Three years ago, when she was still doing odd jobs at the Duma Logistics, she wouldn’t even have dared to dream of this...

Back then, she was the first to arrive and the last to leave each day, and she put her all into any task at hand, no matter how insignificant, striving to do it to the best of her ability.

There was only one goal: to earn the recognition of leadership and secure a job in some department of the Duma after graduation.

Perhaps in the Management Office, or the archives, or some other inconspicuous department...

With a salary of four or five hundred US dollars a month, the occasional bonus, a few years of hard work to climb into a minor leadership role, finding a boyfriend from a good family background, buying a small house together in Moscow, getting married, having children, and just like that, life would pass by.

Although it sounded quite ordinary, it was the smoothest, happiest future she could imagine at the time!

A girl from out of town, trying to stay in Moscow—how easy could that be?

Then, on that day, she met Mikhail, who had just become a new Congressman, and from that moment on, her fate took a dramatic turn...

When faced with Mikhail’s invitation, Yelena accepted without hesitation to be his assistant, even though the initial decision was motivated by the offer of a high salary.

But once she truly became Mikhail’s assistant, Yelena felt like she had opened the door to a whole new world!

She started to meet all kinds of Big Shots, the Speaker, the Vice Speaker, Ministers, the Kremlin...

And she realized just how powerful a person could be: becoming a Duma Member at twenty and still controlling several huge Group companies!

Beyond politics, Yelena also began to delve into the business world, dealing with large acquisitions, investments, international trade, lucrative contracts...

Enormous sums of money, once beyond her wildest dreams, now seemed to her just a series of digits.

Even her own salary had seen an immense increase each year; in less than three years, having just completed her Doctorate, her annual income was approaching two million US dollars...

Thinking back now, she still felt like she was living in a dream.

...

It took a while for Yelena to calm her emotions.

She glanced at her watch—it was already past five in the afternoon—then she picked up the Landline and dialed a number.

"Nova, has the Boss left work yet?"

"He left early in the afternoon, said he had a meeting with Gavriil Director about something. Do you need him for something? But unless it’s something really urgent, try not to call him, that’s the Boss’s instruction," Nova said from the other end of the line.

"Nothing urgent, I can report to the Boss tomorrow, no problem. By the way, why haven’t you left work yet?" Yelena asked with a smile.

"Ah, the Boss can leave early, but I can’t. I still have some documents to sort out; I’ll head home once I’m done," Nova replied.

After hanging up, Yelena thought for a moment and dialed another number.

"Hello, Mom, I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight. Yes... work is pretty busy, and I’ll probably be late, so I’m not coming home. I’ll stay at the apartment. You and Dad can go out for a stroll tomorrow. Sorry, you came all the way to Moscow, and I haven’t had the time to take you out," Yelena said apologetically.

Her parents had recently come to visit her in Moscow and were staying at the luxurious new apartment she had just purchased.

But how could Yelena take time off so easily? In the past few days, her Boss had been abroad, and as the Chief Assistant, she had been swamped with work.

She had hoped to ask for a couple of days off once the Boss returned to spend quality time with her parents, but instead, the Boss and his wife had just "separated."

While his wife, Rossiyana, took two assistants with her and Yelena herself got a promotion and pay raise along with an independent office, it was clear that her workload had only increased.

The new assistants she had hired weren’t fully up to speed yet, and so they weren’t much help.

At such a critical moment, of course, she couldn’t just leave work to go on vacation.

Especially since the Boss had just given her such a substantial raise!

It seemed the gifts of fate came with a price tag attached; the more you received from your work, the more you lost from your personal life...

The kind you can’t even refuse.

Yelena was in exactly that situation now. She had received from her job many rewards she never would have dared to dream of before.

A high salary, social status, and even power!

In turn, over the past few years, she had lost all personal space, dedicating all her time and energy to her work.

She had earned a lot of money but had almost no time to spend it.

She had bought a large house but had no time to live in it.

Even with her parents visiting Moscow, she couldn’t take time off to be with them, at most managing to have dinner and chat with them after work in the evening.

And she couldn’t chat for too long, because she needed to sleep early to maintain a good spirit and state for the busy work awaiting her the next day...

However, Yelena relished it all!

...

Wang Ye did indeed go to chat with Gavriil.
