Chapter 374
Lila was walking at the back of the crowd. The people in front of her stopped and turned to look at her, blocking her path.
She made no effort to hide her disgust for the group.
‘What are you looking at? One person brags and you all start cheering. You’ve done so much ass-kissing there’s none left for anyone else. My PR department gets zero benefits, but we’re the ones who have to fix the mess when
hings go south. You’re all truly shameless.”
She ranted as she moved forward, and the people ahead of her instinctively stepped aside.
Winston didn’t move, so she shoved him out of the way without ceremony.
‘Still looking? I’m talking about you!”
Winston was short and thin, looking like a sleazy snitch with his middle-parted hair.
Lila threw her full weight into the shove, and he couldn’t hold his ground.
‘Ms. Carter, let’s go.”
After pushing him, Lila flashed a loyal, puppy-like smile and pulled Mia out of the room.
You blind idiot!”
Winston spat at the air behind them. “Mia Carter has lost her power, and you’re still following her like a dog!”
Lila and Mia had already left the room, his curses muffled by the door.
Once outside, Lila scratched her head and looked at Mia.
Is my brother insane? Why is he suddenly using that Henderson family lackey?”
Don’t be so impulsive in how you handle things. Winston is a dark person; it’s never good to be on his bad side.”
Mia never went head-to-head with Winston.
I’m not afraid,” Lila said. “He can’t touch me.”
As they spoke, they reached Mia’s office. Mia waved her off and headed toward the elevator.
Just be careful.”
Mia gave her a few final instructions and returned to her office.
A few minutes later, Winston and his group emerged, swaggering down the hall.
When he passed Mia’s office, he deliberately stopped and peered inside.
‘You all go back. I’m going to report the good news to Director Henderson.”
Winston got into an elevator alone, while the others tactfully waited for a different one.
Back in his office, Winston called Director Henderson.
“Ethan gave the project to you?” Director Henderson sounded surprised. “That’s not right. He knows you’re my

man; he shouldn’t be giving you power.”
‘In the meeting today, Ethan treated Mia like a completely different person. I suspect they’ve had a falling out.”
Director Henderson thought it over but still felt something was fishy.
‘Be careful. Look into what happened between them.”
Hearing this, Winston didn’t dare to be careless. “Understood. I’ll look into it immediately.”
Giving the project to Winston had one benefit for Mia.
She had absolutely nothing to do.
Recently, all the company’s preparations had been centered around that project.
Every department was flocking to Winston, leaving Mia idle for the entire morning.
Unable to sit still, she went to lunch with Stella Lewis.
A new restaurant had opened downstairs. Stella had eaten there twice and highly recommended it, so Mia decided
o give it a try.
They ordered several dishes that Stella liked.
