“Ms. Snow, there’s a video conference at 8:30 a.m. with the project manager from Southcross reporting on progress.

“At 9 a.m., the project manager from Alpine Group will be here to sign contracts. You’ll need to meet and sign.

“At 10:30 a.m., there will be…”

Lewis stood nearby and verbally ran through the day’s schedule, confirming Demi had enough time.

“Got it. Thanks.”

Demi looked up briefly, then continued reviewing the contract in her hands, only signing once she’d confirmed everything was in order.

Shortly after, an assistant carefully set down a cup of coffee and couldn’t help stealing a glance at Demi.

Yesterday when Demi joined the company, the employees had been gossiping that she was just there for show, playing at corporate life.

Nobody had taken this young woman seriously.

But to everyone’s surprise, she’d moved swiftly and decisively, sweeping several directors who held shares in Snow Group out the door in less than half a day.

She’d simply dismissed them without a second thought.

Now the employees were even more cautious around Demi than they were around Roderick.

They were terrified of being dismissed by her.

Sensing the assistant’s scrutiny, Demi looked up. The assistant immediately lowered her head and hurried out.

Holy crap, Demi’s presence is intense.

“Mrs. Blackwell, what have you been up to lately? We haven’t seen you picking him up.”

Rhea turned around at the words. The smiling woman’s expression froze before she said awkwardly, “Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

She walked away embarrassed but couldn’t help glancing back at Rhea a few times.

That outfit and hairstyle looked just like Orion’s mother from behind.

Jealousy flickered in Rhea’s eyes, mixed with a hint of smugness.

The more she resembled Demi, the more it proved she was just as good.

Soon, dismissal time arrived. Teachers led the younger students from each class and handed them over to their parents one by one.

Orion looked from afar. When he spotted Rhea, his eyes lit

Then, seeing Rhea’s face clearly, he called out with disappointment, “Rhea.”

He’d thought his mother had come to pick him up.

“Orion, let me take you to the amusement park. They have new rides.”

Rhea had specifically requested to leave work early from Nevin so she could take Orion out.

Hearing about the amusement park, Orion’s childish nature took over. He visibly cheered up.

When Rhea extended her hand, he took it.

When the other kids curiously asked who Rhea was, Orion bragged, “This is Rhea. She’s really nice to me and takes me to the amusement park to do lots of fun stuff”

Seeing the other kids’ envious looks, Orion’s mood lifted considerably. He bounced along happily as he followed Rhea to the car.

“Who’s that woman?”

“Orion’s mom hasn’t picked him up in days. That woman looks like trouble.”

“Yeah, I saw her from behind earlier and thought she was Orion’s mom.”
