Wise drank more of the chamomile tea before placing the cup on the table. "You don't have to accept it, but I felt I should at least make you the offer."
Taryn's tears had settled, most likely from the surprise. A job offer was the last thing she had expected.
'I can give her money but then what? Will she continue living here? A place where she has no friends…'
Taryn quickly composed herself. A job…" she said, her voice low. "A job might just be what I need."
"What position will I fill?"
Wise coughed. "Heh?"
Taryn cocked her head to the side. "Heh?"
'How did I both think of this?!'
All he had thought about was the job offer, nothing else, not even a role.
Wise brought the cup of tea to his lips to buy him time, only to discover that it was empty.
"S—" Wise was about to curse when he suddenly stopped, realizing that Taryn was still watching him.
There was a crease between Taryn's eyebrows as she tried to make sense of what she heard. "S? Secretary—?"
