Nora’s
cheeks flushed slightly, but she smiled back.
Thank you, Leo. You’re too kind.” She grabbed her clutch and stepped out, locking the door behind her.
As they walked to the car, Nora spoke casually.
“By the way, I’ve decided I can start working at the company tomorrow, I think I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.”
Leo’s face lit up. That’s great news! Everyone’s going to be thrilled to have you there. Oh, and speaking of tomorrow, there’s a new hire joining the Team as well. You’ll be starting on the same day.”
“Really?” Nora asked, her curiosity piqued. “Who’s the new person?”
Leo’s eyes gleamed as he explained.
“She’s a design gens. Her sense of color and space is unmatched, and she’s incredibly talented. She’s going to be a real asset to the team.”
Nora’s expre
s expression shifted slightly. “What’s her name?”
“Linda” Leo replied, glancing at her.
The name hit Nora like a jolt. She froze for a moment, her hand tightening around her clutch. Linda?” she repeated, her voice quieter.
“Yes,” Leo said, noticing her reaction. Do you know her?”
Nors let out a slow breath. “If it’s the same Linda that I am imagining.. then that Linda is well, she’s Arnold’s mistress”

Leo ran a hand through his hair, processing the revelation.
“I had no idea. I mean, I knew a bit about your family situation, but this, this is unexpected.”
Nora’s jaw tightened. I don’t want her there, Leo. Not after everything she’s done. I can’t work with her.”
Lea’s expression grew serious as he absorbed Nora’s concerns.
understand, Nora,” he said firmly. “If you’re not comfortable with Linda being at the company, I’ll make sure this matter is handled. I’ll talk to the board if necessary.”
Nora blinked in surprise, her voice softening.
Thank
you, Len. I know it’s not an easy decision. She is a genus in the design world, and losing her might not be ideal for the company.”
Leo shook his head, his tone unwavering. “A genus is only valuable when they bring something worthwhile to the table. Linda might have talent, but she’s nothing compared to you. Nora.”
Nora raised an eyebrow, caught off guard by his sinceraty. “You really mean that?”
“I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t,” Leo replied, his gaze meeting hers
You built that company’s reputation with your vision and creativity. It’s your heart and soul in every design that sets us apart.
Losing someone like Linda in a small price to pay if it i
it means protecting you and your peace of mind. “
Nora felt her chest tighten with gratitude. “I don’t even know what to say. You’ve always been supportive, Leo, but this this means a lot

Leo tilted his head thoughtfully. You think she has ulterior motives?”
Nora hesitated before replying 1 can’t ride it out. But as far as I know, she doesn’t have any way of knowing that I’m connected s unlikely she’s targeting me specifically.”
“Then why? Leo asked, his brow furrowed
“Maybe it’s not about me.” Nora mused. “But something else

Leo snapped his fingers as if a thought had just clicked into place.

What a bad spot for the book to come to an end, I truly do hope there is more to come would be sad to not have a ending to this story........
This page has repeated same story lines that was already said.......
Iam kinda wondering if the writer may speak another language??? Cause iam noting that some of the words kind of seem like another language I could be wrong but every page has a spelling mistake it's making it hard to understand most of what is happening in the book....
Iam loving this book so far but it would have been much better if someone had prof read it 1st there is alot of spelling mistakes some of which I knew what was meant but some I have no clue at all....
Is there any more...
