Lydia’s eyes were icy, her tone flat. “Get out of my way.”
She’d already spotted Sierra coming up behind her, reflected in the glass doors of the building.
Sierra’s face twisted with anger. “What’s your name?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“My friend’s in the hospital because of you. You kicked her and hurt her back. She’s still lying in bed. You need to go apologize, or just wait for the police to show up at your door!” Sierra said, practically vibrating with righteous fury.
Lydia let out a short laugh. “I’ll be waiting.”
She walked right past Sierra and didn’t look back.
Sierra was stunned. She wasn’t making it up. Her friend Louise really was in the hospital. Louise’s family had already hired a lawyer. Yesterday, the Stein family sent people to wait outside this building all afternoon, hoping to catch Lydia, but she never showed. Sierra came today for her own interview and ended up running straight into her.
Watching Lydia’s figure disappear down the hall, Sierra pulled out her phone and called Louise’s mom.
The call connected right away.
“Miranda, I just saw the girl who attacked Louise.”
“What? Sierra, are you sure you saw her?” Miranda’s voice was tight with anger.
“I’m sure, Miranda. She just walked into Greenward Power. I told her to go apologize to Louise or else the police would come for her.”
Miranda gave a cold laugh. “She hurt my daughter. An apology isn’t enough. I want her behind bars for a long time.”
Miranda was thinking the same thing. She grabbed her designer bag off the nightstand and stormed out, determined to find Lydia.
Meanwhile, Lydia arrived at her office. Josef was waiting for her, holding a stack of papers.
“Ms. Norwood, the three designers you asked about have all been notified. Their interviews are at nine this morning.”
Lydia nodded. “Good. Tell all the department heads to meet in the conference room. We’re having a meeting.”
Josef had been about to ask if she wanted to gather everyone. Lydia had been in charge for a few days now, but she hadn’t officially met the department leads. With all the big changes happening lately, everyone was on edge, worried they’d be the next to get fired.
“Of course, Ms. Norwood. I’ll let everyone know right away.”
A few days ago, if Lydia had asked for a meeting, the department heads probably would have rolled their eyes. Now, hearing there was a meeting actually made them feel a little relieved.

Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
