Joy assumed they really did have an appointment with Lydia, so she smiled politely. “Please wait here for a moment. I’ll call upstairs and check if Ms. Norwood is available.”
Jenson couldn’t help but wonder. The receptionist kept saying Ms. Norwood. Was Miss L’s real last name Norwood? He wanted to ask, but he thought better of it. The last thing they needed was to get caught in a lie.
“Thank you so much, miss. We really do have something urgent to discuss with Miss L,” he said, trying to sound sincere.
Joy nodded. “Of course. I’ll call right now.” She picked up the phone and dialed Josef, the president’s assistant. If anyone would know about Ms. Norwood’s schedule, it would be him. The call connected quickly, and Joy explained the situation in a few sentences. Josef paused for a second, then replied, “Ms. Norwood is in a meeting with the design department right now. I’ll check with her when she’s done. Please have them wait for now.”
“Thank you, Josef,” Joy replied.
Jenson and Milana both perked up when they heard this. They tried not to show it, but their relief was obvious in the way they glanced at each other.
Joy led them to the reception lounge, brought over some tea and snacks, and said with a friendly smile, “Ms. Norwood is still in her meeting, so please relax here. As soon as she’s free, I’ll take you up to see her.”
Milana was almost in disbelief at how easy this was turning out to be. Were they really about to see Miss L without any trouble?
“Thank you, sweetheart. Do you know how long her meeting usually lasts?” Milana asked. She didn’t mind waiting at all, but she wanted to be sure Miss L was really upstairs.
Joy thought for a second. “I’m actually not sure. Ms. Norwood just arrived at the office right before you did.”
Jenson could barely hide his excitement. Their timing couldn’t have been better.
“You’re right. We’re finally going to see Miss L, and this is our chance. Smith Corporation might actually have hope again.”
Both of them were buzzing with excitement, like they could finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile, Lydia hadn’t been to the office in a while. Since she was here today, she wanted to go over everything with the team and make sure everyone was on the same page. She spent time giving feedback and suggestions on each designer’s work.
Before she knew it, three hours had passed.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s meeting. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with,” she said, looking around at her team.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! 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...
