The news of getting hired left Melody pleasantly surprised. However, Sherman''s decision to entrust her with such a significant position caught herpletely off-guard.


    Even Melody was not entirely confident in her own abilities. After all, she had been stuck in the Sanders'' residence for so long, and this left her somewhat out of touch with certain professional aspects.


    "I''ve known you since high school, so I know your personality and capability very well. That''s why I''m giving you this role because I believe you can handle it!" Sherman stated with a reassuring conviction. It felt like genuine trust rather than just words of encouragement.


    Melody found herself growing a bit nervous under Sherman''s appreciative gaze.


    The immense trust ced in her made her doubt herself. "Sherman, I thank you for believing in me. If you''re willing to hire me, just give me a simple role. I''d be more than happy if you do that. I''ve never worked before, and there''s a lot I don''t know. I''m afraid that if I take on the role of Advertising Director, I might mess up and disappoint you."


    "Melody, I''ve seen you handle Wendy with confidence. Why doubt yourself now? Please have more faith in your abilities. You''re truly outstanding!" Sherman encouraged her.


    Melody''s jaw dropped in surprise. "Sherman, you... You saw that?"


    Sherman smiled. "Yeah, I saw it all."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Melody felt extremely embarrassed and lowered her head slowly. "Sherman, she was the one who started spreading lies about me. I was just angry at the time, so I couldn''t hold back... I''m sorry for causing trouble for yourpany."


    Sherman chuckled softly. "It''s okay, you didn''t cause me any trouble! Actually, I see it as a positive. You helped us filter out a spokesperson with questionable character."


    Melody had expected a scolding, yet she was met with unexpected praise. She looked up and blinked in surprise. "But I messed up thepany''s shoot and injured the celebrity you hired. Why are you praising me?"


    "You did nothing wrong. When someone nders and bullies you, it''s only right to fight back bravely," Sherman assured her. He had investigated the whole situation thoroughly and learned the details from the employees.


    He knew that Wendy was the one who provoked Melody, and Wendy was no angel herself.


    Melody had always been someone who endured everything others threw at her. Thus, it must have been Wendy who went too far for Melody to be so enraged.


    Melody was touched by his trust in her and asked, "Sherman, do you truly believe I did the right thing?"


    Sherman smiled and nodded firmly. "Of course! You have every right to defend yourself if Wendy nders you."


    Melody felt aforting warmth inside as Sherman remained as understanding as he had always been.


    Throughout her life, Helen had consistently pushed Melody to submit to Wendy. She was not allowed to fight back, no matter what Wendy did to her.


    Helen had gaslit Melody from a young age, which was why she endured so much over the years.


    Thinking about Helen''s favoritism, Melody lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "Thank you for understanding, but I''m sure some people will think what I did was wrong." Sherman leaned back in his chair, looked at her somewhat with a pained expression, and said, "You don''t need to worry about what everyone thinks."


    He then continued, "So, what do you think? Would you like to join our subsidiary?"


    Although Sherman earnestly wanted her on board, Melody still hesitated.


    The role of Advertising Director was undoubtedly the best offer she had received. Still, she grappled with doubts about her capabilities, as well as Lucas'' warning.


    ''Lucas doesn''t want me getting too close to other guys. It won''t be suitable for me to just ignore him and rush into working at Sherman''spany. It''ll be hard to exin to Lucas if I say yes to Sherman. Though, giving up means letting go of this hard-earned opportunity...''
