Giselle confessed, "I think it would be too much for me to handle . This is just a pressure . I'm not sure Mr . Ricardo . "
Shane kept quiet throughout her rampage . It was as if he had something valuable to lock her down from such negative thoughts and let her accept his offer . He waited patiently until Giselle stopped herself from stuttering continuously .
However, the ranting kept going on and on that made Shane restrain her .
"You easily get scared Ms . Giselle" Shane threw a glance at her . His fierce look made her stop sprouting non-sense and get back to reality . For the moment, she looked around to make sure nobody saw her embarrassing herself in front of her boss . Giselle felt sick for ruining the occasion . Shane noticed her discomfort and was ready to convince her to infinity .
"He is our top best author indeed . But as an Editor don't you think that this would a golden opportunity . "
"I understand that but my situation right now . . . if I don't have…"
"Your daughter, Lia?"
Giselle looked at him with a gloomy face . "Yes . We just moved here and I need to send her to school and take care of her first . She's just a kid . "
"And you are whining like a child that you can't do multi-tasking?"
His point of reference hit her in the bull's eye . Nothing can make her feel more pathetic than being questioned about her skills . She hesitated to speak any more .
"I understand that you have a child under your care . However, I hope and truly value your skill . So make sure to use it wisely . Jayce is basically a human being and not a monster . I'm sure you can become his very best editor . "
His words comforted her .
"And one more thing, Jayce is very understanding and I told him about you having a kid . He's chill . "
Giselle is careful with her words now . She was still hesitating .
"It seems that you still can't believe in yourself . Well, here an enhanced version of my offer that none of the editors's ever received . You can work for him and if you can't handle the workload, I swear I will change you to another author . Can you consider once again?"
This offer looked legit and suitable for Giselle's situation . She also knew that KeyLine publications were strict with editors . Once an editor is given an author, they won't change them easily . So this was a pretty big deal . Additionally, she gets to work with one of the best-selling authors . She began to think deeply about this deal .
"How about I give you a day to decide? Let me know it finally before rejecting it straight away . Deal?"
"Reasonable . " She took a deep breath . "Alright . I will think about it and give you a reply by tomorrow . "
"That's good to hear . Let me know if there's anything I can help you with . Oh… . . and regarding Lia's school, I can recommend you to a good school . One of my friend's friend is the principal there . I can talk to him if you want to . "
"That would be nice . Sure . "
"Hmm . . . and just because I do this help, you shouldn't consider my offer . Think about it carefully . I agree that being Jayce's editor will be a huge responsibility . However, I never assign the job to the wrong person . "
"I understand . "
They both finished their dinner and were about to head out . Giselle boarded the cab safely back home . Shane was in his car back home when he received a call . He answered it .
