Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 

Angela spent the afternoon bonding with her new pets. She set up cozy spots for them by the large floor–to–ceiling windows in the living room. In no time, the once–silent house came alive with warmth and activity. 

That evening, rain began to patter against the windows. Angela ordered takeout and prepared steak for herself, reveling in the small joy of solitude. 

On Monday, she reported to DawnStar Co. for her first day. 

The HR personnel led her to the design department on the 23rd floor. 

As soon as Angela stepped inside, she was stunned by the size of the space. The entire floor, around 5,000 square feet, was filled with the design department’s offices. 

“Hi, I’m Nora Rutherford, the head of the design department.” A stylish woman in professional attire walked over, her high heels clicking with each step. She extended a friendly hand to Angela. 

Behind her, the design department staff watched Angela curiously. 

Angela returned the gesture with a polite smile. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Rutherford. I’m Angela Graham.” 

“Of course. You’re the winner of this year’s Starry Design Competition. Mr. Snowden mentioned you to us,” Nora said with a faint smile before leading Angela into the office.

“You’ll sit here. But since there aren’t any active projects at the moment, you’ll be assisting with odd jobs for now,” Nora said. 

Angela stiffened. Odd jobs?

on her first day. 

“Hey there!” A young woman at the neighboring desk leaned over. “You’re the Angela who won the ten–million–dollar prize, right? That’s amazing! How did you manage that? Did you study under a top designer for years?” 

Angela forced a modest smile. 

“I’ve had some training, but honestly, luck played a big part,” she replied while tidying her workspace. 

The woman nodded thoughtfully and seemed ready to continue their chat when a sharp voice interrupted, “Vanessa Terrell, what are you doing? Is this what we pay you for?” 

So that young woman’s name was Vanessa. 

But who was that fierce person?
