No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1528

"Right away, sir. I'll get on it immediately," Yvette replied, her eyes flashing with a thrill of hidden ambition.

She power-walked toward the document room, casually pulling a compact mirror from her pocket to do a rapid check of her makeup.

This was her first week at the company, and the very first time she would be in the same room as Ian Goodwin. For her, even a mundane task like passing out files and pouring coffee was a golden opportunity to get on his radar.

Using the reflection of the glass window in the document room, she meticulously adjusted her hair and smoothed down her tailored skirt suit, making absolutely sure she looked flawless.

The face staring back at her was young, gorgeous, and glowing with vitality—though her eyes betrayed a hungry, calculating edge.

Unlike the other drones at Goodwin & Co., she had elite connections backing her up. That was what gave her the audacity to dream this big.

She thought back to her aunt's brutal assessment of Ian's ex-wife.

"So what if she's some genius scientist? A woman who refuses to give the Goodwin family an heir is fundamentally flawed."

Men—especially impossibly rich, powerful men like Ian Goodwin—always needed sons to inherit their empires at the end of the day.

All she had to do was bide her time and play her cards perfectly when the moment arose to show him exactly what she had to offer.

This could be the turning point of her entire life.

At two minutes to ten, Yvette carried the heavy stack of dossiers into the boardroom. Over a dozen senior executives were already seated, murmuring in low voices. The chair at the head of the table was empty. Keeping her eyes fixed forward, Yvette moved with sharp, practiced efficiency, placing a file flawlessly in front of every seat to prove her competence.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps and Gavin Young's low voice echoed from the hallway.

Yvette's pulse skyrocketed. She instantly straightened her posture and stepped to the side, lowering her eyes in a perfect display of respectful submission.
