**A New Beginning**
Ethan was getting ready for work when he stepped into the dining hall for breakfast. His mother, Maria, lovingly served him food, only for his phone to ring moments later. It was Ivy, a staff member from his company.
"Yes, Ivy?" Ethan answered.
"Sir, a girl has come for the interview for the personal assistant position. Her name is Evelyn."
"Oh no, I completely forgot about that," Ethan said, realizing his mistake. "Please ask her to wait for ten minutes. I'm coming."
Without finishing his breakfast, he hurried out. His mother scolded him for rushing off in the middle of a meal, but he had no choice—work called.
Ten minutes later, Ethan arrived at his company. He walked briskly to his office and immediately called Ivy.
"Ivy, please send that girl to my room."
Soon after, Evelyn walked in.
"Hi, please have a seat," Ethan said, gesturing towards the chair. "Kindly give me your profile."
Evelyn handed him her resume, and Ethan carefully reviewed it. After a moment, he looked up.
"You don't have any prior work experience, but you have the necessary qualifications," he stated. "I'm appointing you as my personal assistant. Ivy will explain your salary, company policies, and other details to you."
Ethan called Ivy again.
"Ivy, starting tomorrow, Evelyn will be my PA. Please explain her salary, company details, and responsibilities."
"Okay, sir," Ivy replied before ending the call.
Ethan turned to Evelyn. "You may go to Ivy's office now—she will explain everything to you."
Evelyn nodded politely. "Thank you, sir."
She exited the room and made her way to Ivy's office.
"Hi, Evelyn. Welcome to our company as Ethan sir's PA," Ivy greeted her warmly. "I'm Ivy, and I've been working as an accountant here for the last three years."
"Hi, Ivy! Nice to meet you," Evelyn replied with a smile.
Ivy then began explaining the company's policies and took Evelyn on a tour, introducing her to all the employees.
"Do you understand everything?" Ivy asked after the tour.
"Yes, absolutely," Evelyn affirmed. "I do have one more request, though. Could you tell me a bit about Ethan sir's character? Since this is my first job, and I'll be working directly under him, I'd like to understand his expectations and work style."
Ivy smiled. "This is your first job, and interestingly, this is also the first time our company has hired a personal assistant. Until now, Ethan sir has handled everything on his own, but he recently realized that he needs help due to the workload.
You don't have to worry too much—he's a kind and good person. However, he expects perfection in work. He's forgiving of the first two mistakes, but beyond that, he can become impatient."
Evelyn nodded. "Thank you so much, Ivy!"
Ivy laughed lightly. "No need to thank me. We're friends now! Go home, and be here tomorrow morning at 10 a.m."
"Okay, Ivy. Bye! See you tomorrow morning," Evelyn said before leaving.
She arrived home, eager to share the good news with her mother and younger brother. Their faces lit up with joy—they were incredibly proud of her.
Of course! Here's your story refined for clarity, grammar, and flow:
After a week, Evelyn had learned her tasks thoroughly. Though she initially made mistakes, she quickly adapted and mastered her responsibilities, performing them flawlessly. Her warm and affectionate nature made it easy for her to befriend all the employees, earning their trust and admiration.
Ethan, who was initially hesitant about hiring a personal assistant, found himself growing comfortable with Evelyn's presence. Her ability to correct her mistakes swiftly impressed him, and he accepted her as his PA without hesitation.

One night at Ethan's house, he sat in his study, working on his laptop. His mother, Maria, approached him quietly, taking a seat beside him.
"Ethan, Isla called you. Is she okay?" she asked casually.
Ethan glanced at her, slightly confused. "Mom, why are you suddenly concerned about Isla? What's going on?"
His mother sighed. "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. This morning, Isla's mother and I discussed the possibility of marriage between you and Isla. If both of you agree, we can proceed with the arrangements quickly. What do you think?"
Ethan's expression darkened. "Mom, how many times have I told you? This is impossible. We're just good friends—I can't imagine her as my wife."
Maria narrowed her eyes. "Is that the real reason? Or… do you love someone else?"
Ethan paused. A thought crossed his mind—this was the perfect way to avoid the marriage discussion permanently.
"Yes, Mom," he said firmly. "I'm in love with someone else. That's why I'm rejecting your proposal. Please don't bring this up again."
Maria studied him for a moment, sensing something unspoken beneath his words. But for now, she chose to let it go.
