Chapter 1158
Bruce sat down on the stool in the living room. His heart was in turmoil, and he did not
know what to do.
Bruce really did not want to carry such a heavy burden.
However, Richard had already said so much. If Bruce still refused, it would more or less
seem like he didn’t know what was good for him.
Fifteen minutes later.
Crack!
The door was pulled open.
Richard and Aria walked out.
“Mr/Everett.”
‘Mr. Thompson!”
Richard smiled kindly at the two of them. “You have to work well together in the future.
I’m leaving Greyport in the afternoon.
“Ms. Bridges will be your most capable assistant in the future. I hope the two of you can

When Bruce heard this, he frowned. “Mr. Thompson, please consider carefully. I really can’t
bear this heavy responsibility. Please choose a more suitable candidate…”
Richard’s face tensed up, and his expression was dignified. “How about this? I’ll give you a
long holiday for a year first. After a year, if you still insist on withdrawing, then… then we’ll
deal with it appropriately.”
“Mr. Thompson, I’ve thought it through.”
“Mr. Everett, this is the best compromise I can make.
“Don’t disappoint me, and don’t let down my efforts.
“Don’t think too much about anything now. Take a break in peace and deal with your
personal matters in peace. The organization will reserve your position for you. When you
feel that you’ve rested enough, you can return to your position.
“In the meantime, the organization won’t assign you any more missions.
You can rest in peace.”
“Alright!” Bruce looked at Richard solemnly. He really could not find an excuse to decline.
Agreeing to a-year holiday was just a temporary measure. If it really didn’t work out, Bruce
would insist on quitting.
“We’re going back first.”
“Okay!”
After bidding farewell to Richard, the two of them returned to Ritz Villa.
In the car, Aria seemed very excited and tried to find something to say from time to time.
“Bruce, why don’t you look very happy?”
Bruce had a lot on his mind and was not in the mood to say anything.
“Look! Mr. Thompson thinks highly of you and appointed you as the deputy director. Did
you know that? You’re the first and youngest deputy director in the organization!
“Although the burden is heavy, you have to know it’s because Mr. Thompson and the
higher-ups think highly of you that they entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. You
should be happy. Moreover, you will have a higher future and room for improvement in the
future.
“The president of Eprary used to be the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau. You
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshouldn’t stop here…”
That was true.
This was the highest position in the National Defense Bureau, a position that many people
could not even dream of. In hundreds of years, Bruce would be recorded in history.
This glory was definitely not something a billionaire’s wealth could compare to. Since
ancient times, the poor did not fight with the rich, and the rich did not compete with the
officials.
Power and authority were the core of the pyramid.
So what if someone was rich? In the face of power, wealth and capital were nothing. To put
it bluntly, no matter how rich someone was, he had to rely on power.
Aria kept talking excitedly. According to Bruce’s current state, if he was willing to develop
his career well, there would really be endless possibilities in the future.
Aria really did not understand why Bruce would give up his great career prospects and
focus on being an ordinary businessman.
In other words, Aria even felt that Joanna was dragging Bruce down. A woman behind a
successful man should support her husband to go further and fly higher rather than tying
him to her and ruining his future.
