I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 97

Those documents were their meticulously maintained daily logs.

If an incident occurred, they needed physical copies on hand alongside the digital files.

Thanks to Ms. Winters' rampage, they would have to spend the next two weeks rebuilding their entire filing system.

After finally venting her rage, Sienna composed herself and returned to the executive floor.

Hayden's office door was shut tight. Sienna raised her hand to knock, but stopped mid-air.

She was a smart woman. Even with evidence in hand, confronting Hayden directly was an incredibly foolish move.

When Hayden pursued her years ago, she had figured out exactly what kind of man he was.

He liked women who were intelligent, independent, and knew when to back off.

And she was practically tailor-made for him.

If she could win him over once, she could do it again.

Sienna walked over to Valerie's desk. The moment Valerie saw her, she jumped up, plastering on an eager smile.

"Who is in Mr. Thorne's office right now?"

It was time to utilize the pawn she had strategically placed within Easton Group.

Valerie looked confused. "Mr. Thorne left about ten minutes ago."

Sienna went rigid.

Her expression turned ugly for a split second.

But she quickly adjusted her posture, masking it perfectly before Valerie could notice.

Valerie was too busy trying to score points to see anything amiss.

Sienna usually despised this kind of brainless sycophancy, but most of the time, it was highly useful.

"Go to Ms. Lynd's office. Tell her to come see me."

Valerie's smile froze instantly.

A mix of bitter resentment and caution crept into her voice.

The last time she tangled with Zoe, Hayden had fired her on the spot.

She had only gotten her job back because Sienna intervened.

She thought that with Sienna backing her, she could walk all over everyone at Easton, save for the board members.

So why was Zoe the very first person Sienna wanted to see after officially joining the company?

What was so special about her?

Zoe was sitting alone at her desk, typing away.

For some reason, Valerie thought the room felt strangely stuffy, as if there was an underlying tension in the air.

When Zoe saw her, a flash of unease crossed her face.

"Valerie, can I help you?"

Valerie's blood boiled seeing Zoe remain comfortably seated.

Didn't she know she was supposed to stand up when addressed?

Valerie sneered, crossing her arms and standing over Zoe with an air of immense superiority.

"Sienna wants to see you."

Zoe frowned slightly.

"Sienna?"

What did she want?

Valerie's eyes widened in feigned shock and real anger.

"Are you on a first-name basis with Ms. Winters? Zoe, don't think you're untouchable just because Mr. Thorne covered for you once. Let me make this clear: as long as you're in this company, you report to me.
