The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 490: Lacking Confidence

Then, Renee admiredly said, "Brother Yorke, you’re so amazing; your position in the company must be very high, right?"

Jordan Yorke scratched his head and said, "Actually, I’m not that great, Renee. You’re overpraising me."

Then he answered Renee’s question, "I just joined the company, I’m just a junior staff, and my position is quite ordinary."

Fearing that Renee would look down on him and think he’s incapable, he quickly added, "But the supervisor told me, as long as I work hard, promotions and raises are not an issue. Soon, I can become a supervisor, even a general manager..."

The supervisor originally said this because of Penelope Thatcher; the supervisor thought that since this kid could bring Penelope’s business card, and Penelope even called to specifically instruct, maybe he had won over Penelope’s favor with some special means.

Although this kid isn’t much to look at, if the young lady did like him, and he really became the son-in-law of The Thatcher Family, he wouldn’t be someone a supervisor could afford to offend. Naturally, good words should be spoken.

But Jordan Yorke felt that the supervisor genuinely appreciated his talent, so this remark gave Jordan absolute confidence. He believed he could make a name for himself in this company and accomplish something.

After hearing Jordan’s words, Renee once more gushed with praise, making Jordan feel elated, only then she said, "Brother Yorke, did you know? I actually have a cousin who works in the same company as you. She seems to be an assistant to a supervisor. You just joined the company, so you might not be familiar with a lot of things. How about I let her know to look out for you, so you can get acquainted with the company faster?"

Jordan Yorke, however, responded with great ambition, "Renee, thank you for considering that, but I think there’s no need. Everyone in our department is quite easy to get along with, and the supervisor has treated me very well, even arranged someone specifically to guide me through the work. I should be able to integrate into the new company quickly."

As for Renee’s cousin, since she’s a relative, he naturally would establish a good relationship with his cousin. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

And when he climbs the ranks, he would not forget about this cousin.

Renee rolled her eyes slightly.

How could an ordinary staff just joining a new company receive such generous treatment from a supervisor?

Is Jordan truly talented, and the supervisor is trying to retain talent?

Renee thought impossible, then remembered that Jordan lived in a high-end apartment, wore branded clothes and accessories daily. She concocted an identity for Jordan in her mind—someone who obviously came from a wealthy family pretending to be a commoner to prove his worth.

And now this wealthy heir knew her and even had special feelings for her. If she seized this opportunity, pretending not to care whether Jordan was rich or not, enduring hardships with him, then after passing this test, Jordan would revert to his wealthy heir status. Wouldn’t she be marrying into wealth?

Isn’t that how it always plays out on TV? Rich people always love to disguise themselves as commoners to experience life, and eventually, they meet an ordinary girl who doesn’t care if they’re rich, leading to mutual understanding, love, and ultimately marriage, entering the halls of matrimony, living happily ever after.

Renee smiled, holding onto Jordan Yorke’s arm.

"Brother Yorke, I believe in you. You are a capable person, bound for great success. I hope you can thrive with this new company platform. Keep it up!"

She made a charming fist gesture towards him, being adorably playful.

Jordan was deeply moved by the encouragement, his eyes even reddening.

He was just an ordinary person with neither money nor power, not knowing how many disdainful glances he’d endured when he first arrived in the city.

Renee, however, was a city dweller who didn’t mind at all. She always believed in his abilities and continuously encouraged him by his side.

What had he done to deserve such a good girl?

He couldn’t help but ask himself if he really would betray such a wonderful girl just to repay Penelope Thatcher for saving his life?

Jordan found himself unable to do it. Such a good girl deserved him to guard her for a lifetime.

Penelope Thatcher was so strong; without him, couldn’t she find an even better patron?

After all, she was used to selling herself.

But Renee was so pure; without him, she would surely be heartbroken.

He couldn’t leave Renee.

So Jordan said to Renee, "Renee, thank you for believing in me. You are the best girl I have ever met; I, I, I..."

He became somewhat incoherent with emotion, "How well you treat me, I keep it all in my heart. I will find a way in the future..."

To think of another way to repay Penelope’s debt of gratitude without ruining his and Renee’s lifetime happiness.

He had made up his mind; he couldn’t let go of such a good girl as Renee. He simply couldn’t bear the thought.

Ah, he was given such a choice by fate, he couldn’t help it.

Hope Penelope could understand him.

At this thought, Jordan grasped Renee’s hand and promised, "Renee, please believe me. I will not let you down. Once I get my paycheck, I’ll give it to you every month to save for us. Once we have enough money, I, I, I’ll marry you..."

Renee blushed with shyness, but internally she was pleased.

See, she indeed moved Jordan Yorke; this promise proved she had passed the test.

Jordan’s mentioned salary was, in fact, equivalent to all his future assets.

This man was willing to give her all his assets, indicating she was clearly the destined girl for him.

She felt joy in her heart but wouldn’t hastily show it.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Jordan see through her act?

"Brother Yorke, why are you talking about marriage already? I haven’t even agreed to date you..."

She had a shy expression, like an innocent and naive little girl.

Jordan then remembered he hadn’t even formally been with Renee yet, to talk directly about marriage was indeed abrupt.

Renee was a proper girl, not like Penelope Thatcher. How could he treat Renee this way?

So he seriously asked once more, "Renee, will you go out with me?"

Renee shyly glanced at him and softly said, "I will."

Of course, she would. Would she rather give such a man away to someone else?

Jordan was overjoyed, "Renee, I’m truly so blessed. I will ensure you have a good life! And when we’re married, I will work hard to earn money, and you can stay at home and be beautiful..."

Renee looked at his silly happiness and playfully scolded him with a glance.

"You’re teasing me again, talking about marriage; I won’t talk to you..."

Jordan kept silly grinning, looking incredibly honest and simple.

Yet, Renee thought his honest façade was definitely an act, intended to test if she was a vain woman.

She naturally wouldn’t show any disdainful expression.

If Jordan was truly a simpleton, she certainly wouldn’t fancy him.

But since Jordan wasn’t like that, bearing his silly demeanor now didn’t seem bothersome.

Only then did Renee notice that Jordan wore a new watch on his wrist.

She recognized it instantly; it was also a branded watch, one that someone from a modest family like hers certainly couldn’t afford.

She even felt slightly insecure stepping into such a high-end store usually.
