Marry into Money by Accident novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Liam dropped a bombshell on Lianne.

Lianne thought Zane acted harshly toward her because he questioned her shady personal life like everybody else.

In fact, she assumed the opportunity to investigate and shed light on the truth was only a sympathetic move from her superior.

Lianne would not have dreamed that Zane had faith in her innocence from the start. He wanted her to find proof just so she could fight back with concrete evidence.

During the incident in the past, only her grandmother, Ty, and Sierra trusted her wholeheartedly.

Zane, a revered figure and a leader of the finest conglomerate firms, had absolute trust in her. It was as if she was family even though she was only his subordinate for a month and three days.

For that alone, Lianne decided to lay her loyalty to Zane even without the high income. She would become his most faithful and capable employee.

Back at the dinner table, Zane had started on his appetizer. Lianne sneaked a glance at him.

No one could carry poise like Mr. Atlas. The image of him sipping on soup could be framed in the Louvre Museum

Zane noticed her gaze “What are you looking at?”

Lianne curled her lips and sucked up to Zane. However, she meant it. “I think you’re the world’s greatest

boss”

Liam gave her a nudge, reminding her that Mr. Atlas cared more about the competence of his employees. Flattery would not work on him.

Not reacting to her pandering. Zane curtly said, “No talking at the table.”

Lianne nodded her head. “Sure.”

It did not take long before the employees arrived at the cafeteria in droves. The loud chatter and laughter soon came to a stop at the sight of an eye-catching figure in the middle of the room. They could not look more serious at work

Nevertheless, everybody could not take their eyes away from that table.

Lianne was struck with another bold assumption.

For Zane to have lunch at the cafeteria even though he had never been there, was he trying to send a message to everybody in the office that she was still his executive assistant despite all that happened? Lianne whispered the question in mind, “Mr. Atlas, are you having lunch in the cafeteria to help me?” Zane put down his cutlery and pulled out a napkin to elegantly wipe his mouth before replying in a flat voice, I’m not helping you. I merely saw your value by the way you handle the matter efficiently.”

His reply came off impersonal, but it was the best validation of Lianne’s competency.

Although Zane never said the nicest things, he never once doubted her and even offered her support. It was the biggest kindness Lianne received today.

Lianne spoke from the heart, “I just want to thank you, Mr. Atlas.”

Zane impatiently looked at her, catching the burn on her ears and neck. For some reason, it stirred unrest

within him “Dr Leah will be here later. Get some medicine from her.”

It was only then the scalding pain along her neck started to kick in “Sure”

Lianne returned to the office after lunch. Before Lianne could contact her, Dr Leah arrived with her

medical kit
