Emilia stepped forward, her posture composed and professional, ready to deliver what he sought. "This is…" she began, gesturing toward the two women standing by her side. "Lizzie and Suzie. I hired two instead of one, as per your request. Lizzie will serve as your secretary, and Suzie will act as your second assistant in my absence."
The two women, dressed impeccably, bowed respectfully before Pyris, acknowledging his authority. Both were aware of the privilege—and the burden—of working so closely with him. They remained still, waiting for his reaction, their expressions carefully controlled.
They would be sharing the same huge office space with Pyris now as his very close surbodianates.
Pyris gave a curt nod, his expression unreadable as he studied them briefly. For now, they would do. Emilia escorted them out of the office, leaving Pyris alone, save for the enigmatic bodyguard who had been a silent presence at his side.
