"... What?"
Well, you might wonder what's going on, and at that moment Marie was too.
Hong Bo, in the midst of one of her thoughts, ended up commenting on her parents' decision to stay in the country and most likely start redistributing directors to international branches.
Well, there was nothing very innovative there, but what left Marie in disbelief was Hong Bo believing that she would be among the people who could take on a position in one of those other companies.
She doesn't consider herself to be anything special. Far from it.
Marie believed that her role in that life was just to take care of Hong Bo, so she didn't think so deeply... If she did any good work, it was to stay close to the Hong family and be able to be trustworthy.
She already had experience as a businesswoman, she knew what Hong Bo was going through, and acting as a mentor was relatively easy.
