When Cheryl arrived at the office, she noticed that the door to Caroline’s office was open.
Pleasantly surprised that Caroline was here already, she stopped by the door and said, “Caroline! You’re early!”
Caroline looked up from her desk. She had just finished writing down the details of her plans. ” Ask the heads of the departments to come to the conference room for a meeting.”
“Okay.” Cheryl chirped.
Caroline busied herself with work once more. Cheryl couldn’t make out if she was in a good mood or not. She wondered if Caroline and her husband reconciled after the trip.
Jack had said that Caroline’s husband was a good man. Still, if he was as good as Jack had put it, why would Caroline have gotten into a fight with him in the first place?
The question lingered in Cheryl’s mind as she hurried off to call the heads of the departments for the meeting.
“Our ambassador’s new drama will be broadcast in two days.” Caroline glanced over all of them.
“Has everything been prepared?”
“Yes,” answered the heads of the departments in unison.
“Good. We have to take notice of a couple of things. If there’s a problem, you need to tell me about it right away.”
Caroline then told them about the things that they needed to pay attention to so that they could
spread the word to their subordinates.
The meeting ended about an hour later. Caroline stood up and glanced around at the people
around her. “Are you sure that everything’s fine?”
“Yes!” they replied.
“I won’t let things go easily if any of you drag us down,” she said curtly and strode out of the room.
One after the other, the heads of the departments got up from their seats and left.
The head of the PR department was one of the last to leave. He tugged at the head of the

After everyone else left, the head of the PR department whispered, “I heard that the factory stopped making our order because they’re busy with Layla’s.”
“You’re up–to–date. As expected of the head of the PR department.”
“You flatter me. Why didn’t you tell Caroline about this? Aren’t you worried?”
“What is there to worry about?”
“Didn’t you hear what she said? She won’t let you go if you drag us down.”
Jason smiled. “Don’t worry. She will never find out about this.”
Confused, the head of the PR department asked, “What do you mean? Won’t she find out about it when the factory fails to deliver our order later on?”
Jason chuckled at that.
“Think about it. When both sides launch our products, do you think our company will even be able to sell anything? Would Caroline be concerned about whether the factory would deliver our order on time?”
“Maybe,” he added, “she would even thank me for it. She would be grateful that the factory didn’t make our order and that her debt wouldn’t be so high.”
The head of the PR department looked as if he had just stumbled upon this realization.
“You’re right! To be frank, Caroline isn’t that bad. It just so happened that she and Layla are at odds
with each other.
“Layla’s wealthy enough already, and with Eddy backing her up, it would be almost impossible for
Caroline to win against her.”
“Exactly! That’s why I’m not bothered about it.”
They chatted on their way back to their respective offices, completely unaware of Cheryl, who
had happened to walk out of the washroom at the same time. She had heard their entire
conversation.
This was horrible! How could the factory be so one–sided?
Cheryl stormed off in the direction of Caroline’s office.

Caroline was busy scrolling on her phone. Marina still hadn’t texted her.
She fell into deep thought while tapping her fingers on the desktop. She was about to send Marina a message when someone knocked on the door.
“Come on in!” she said without glancing up.
“That much?”
“But a hundred thousand is a lot to handle in a single order. Isn’t it a bit too much?”
