Chapter 951: You Have a PhD Too?
Old Madam Price scrutinized Zoey Hong critically.Wearing a frivolously colored shirt, he didn’t look mature or steady at all. His skin was so pale it lacked any masculine appearance. No manners, didn’t even bother to greet her properly, his face was cold without a smile, and he came empty-handed, without bringing any gifts! Really from some small, ill-mannered family!
In contrast, Edward Sanders wore a dark blue casual shirt with a standing collar, neither too pale nor too dark-skinned, tall and handsome yet scholarly in demeanor, with a smile on his face. He was polite and attentive, even helping to catch Lucia when she almost fell while running in—truly a considerate person!
See, there’s a difference when someone is educated!
It was his first visit, and he brought generous gifts, ensuring everyone received something, quite magnanimous.
"Missy Zoe, have you met Edward yet? He’s a promising young man. You should chat more with him, to develop feelings. The tea room upstairs is ready for you both. Go on!"
Zoe Lewis’s smile faded slightly. She didn’t expect that even though she brought her boyfriend back, she was still being forced to chat alone with Edward Sanders.
What place does that leave for Zoey Hong?
Luckily, Zoey Hong wasn’t her real boyfriend; otherwise, her grandmother would have infuriated him!
"I already have a boyfriend; it’s not appropriate to have tea and chat alone with someone else, right? I specifically brought my boyfriend back for you and Grandpa to meet. He’s exceptional!"
Old Madam Price sneered, "I didn’t hear your mother mention you have a boyfriend. Do you have one so soon? You probably brought him back just to pacify me."
She didn’t know if Zoe Lewis was pacifying her, but she had to pin this on her to force a breakup.
"I’m not deceiving you; it’s all true! My boyfriend is currently Young Master Hunter’s secretary. Because my dad is of some standing with Young Master Hunter, he introduced his secretary to me. Not everyone has this privilege!"
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at the calmly standing Zoey Hong.
In a large multinational group like Star Region, being the CEO’s secretary undoubtedly made him a top talent, selected through intense competition and interviews, on-the-job for at least three years before having a one percent chance of getting to the president’s side.
Moreover, the CEO’s secretary must graduate from a prestigious university, with a minimum qualification of a master’s degree.
Zoey Hong’s future was limitless!
Ben Hunter’s former secretary was now a high-ranking vice president of Star Region Group, holding company shares and receiving huge dividends annually.
If Harry Hunter did introduce Zoey Hong to Zoe Lewis, the whole family had to reconsider this carefully!
No one dared underestimate him anymore.
Archer Price cautiously asked, "Zoey Hong, did you study up to a master’s degree?"
Zoey Hong replied blandly, "Doctorate."
Archer Price was shocked, "Impossible! You look just over twenty; how could you have a doctorate? Even Edward, who’s very bright, was nearly thirty by the time he finished his Ph.D.!"
"I’m twenty-six, and I finished my doctorate at twenty-three."
Everyone was stunned, exclaiming in unison, "Impossible!"
Zoe Lewis exhaled a long breath, feeling very relieved inside.
Luckily, she brought Zoey Hong today. If she had brought David or Jace, it wouldn’t have made such a strong impression!
