They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 262 - 262 He’s Going to Expose Me

Chapter 262: He’s Going to Expose Me Chapter 262: He’s Going to Expose Me The man smirked slightly but didn’t comment.

Instead, he got straight to the point.

“Alright then,” he said, his gaze steady.

“Which positions would you like to take?” The room fell into silence.

The girls froze.

Their excitement wavered as they looked at one another.

Each of the positions sounded amazing.

Each one was a dream opportunity.

But at the same time, it was dangerous.

If one of them chose a better position, would it make the others feel bad?

Would it seem selfish?

None of them wanted to cause conflict.

So, instead of speaking, they just… kept looking at each other.

Waiting.

Watching.

Guessing.

They studied each other’s faces, silently trying to figure out what the others wanted before saying anything.

The tension grew.

Seconds passed.

Then more.

Nobody spoke.

The pressure was almost painful.

Finally, Nnenna, being the most observant, realized the problem.

Lilian and Kosi were too kind.

They wouldn’t pick first because they didn’t want to step on each other’s toes.

If they kept this up, they might stand here forever.

So, Nnenna took charge.

“My two friends here will take the General Recruiting Manager and General Head Accountant positions,” she said firmly.

Both girls snapped their heads toward her.

“Nnenna” “Since they have experience in those areas,” she continued, ignoring their protests, “while I will take the Assistant position.” Her voice was steady.

Confident.

Final.

The moment the words left her mouth, a wave of relief washed over them.

Lilian and Kosi relaxed.

They hadn’t realized how tense they were until Nnenna made the decision for them.

But more than that, they were deeply touched.

She could have picked anything.

She could have chosen a high ranking job, just like them.

But instead, she put their expertise first.

And because of that, they admired her even more.

The man, too, watched her with interest.

His gaze lingered for a second longer, his expression unreadable.

But then, a slow, approving smile curved his lips.

He had made the right choice with them.

Still feeling guilty for getting the good jobs, Lilian and Kosi shared a look.

The other two jobs, General Recruiting Manager and General Head Accountant, would definitely pay more than an assistant’s position.

By a lot.

Unless there were extra benefits or hidden conditions, an assistant’s salary wouldn’t even come close.

After all, assistants often worked extra hours, running around at odd times, possibly never leaving on schedule.

Meanwhile, the two of them?

They would have structured work hours, a stable routine, and more freedom.

And yet… Nnenna had given up the chance to fight for one of the higher paying positions.

Instead, she had just handed them the best choices without hesitation.

Their minds raced.

Why?

Even more troubling, Nnenna would have to follow this man around constantly.

Their eyes flickered toward him.

He was sharp eyed, unreadable, and intimidating.

There was something about him that demanded perfection.

He didn’t seem like the kind of person who tolerated mistakes.

Being his assistant meant never being able to slack off.

Never having a moment of peace.

It was a job that would require quick thinking, immediate action, and complete dedication.

And yet, she took it.

Why?

Could they have handled that job?

No.

They knew they couldn’t.

Maybe, just maybe, this bold, fearless girl who had exposed a scheming pretender just the day before… This girl who had stood strong while others panicked… This girl who had kept them steady in the middle of chaos… Maybe she was the only one who could do it.

As the realization set in, their unease faded.

They turned to Nnenna.

She was calm.

Composed.

Unshaken.

She wasn’t regretting her choice.

She wasn’t nervous.

She simply stood there, confident.

And looking at her now, they knew, she had chosen correctly.

She had chosen what suited her best.

And so, they accepted it too.

Letting out a quiet breath, they nodded.

They would trust her decision.

And maybe… just maybe… This was the best outcome for all of them.

“Alright,” he said smoothly, turning to Kosi and Lilian.

“You two, go to the secretary.

She’ll arrange your positions and tell you what you need to do.

You can start today or tomorrow, depending on what you prefer.” The two girls practically vibrated with excitement.

“Of course, we want to start today!” Lilian burst out, her eyes shining.

“Yes, absolutely!” Kosi chimed in, grinning.

The man waved them off with a flick of his hand, and they didn’t need to be told twice.

Without hesitation, they spun around and rushed out the door, already brimming with eagerness.

This was it!

Their comeback moment!

They were going to step into their new positions, hold their heads high, and show everyone what they were truly capable of.

And, of course, there were a few people they were dying to rub this in their faces.

Sweet, sweet payback.

Nnenna turned, about to follow them, assuming she also needed to report to the secretary But before she could take a step, the man’s cool, steady voice cut through the air.

“Stay.” Nnenna froze.

Kosi and Lilian, already at the door, halted mid step.

They glanced back, confusion flickering in their eyes.

Why was he stopping only her?

They exchanged a quick look.

Maybe… because she was taking the assistant position?

Maybe there were additional instructions?

It seemed logical.

With that thought, they hesitated only a moment longer before deciding to give them privacy.

They walked out, the door closing behind them with a soft click.

Now, it was just the two of them.

Nnenna turned back to the man, her face unreadable, but her mind on full alert.

This is it.

He’s going to expose me.

The way he had looked at her earlier, the shock that had flashed across his face, she hadn’t imagined it.

He recognized her.

But how?

She braced herself for what was coming, her posture stiff, her fingers curling into her sleeves slightly as she prepared for him to start questioning her.
