The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 99

This was an absolute godsend.

She texted back immediately: "I happen to be free. What needs handing over? I can head over and sort it out for her."

Cassie instantly replied with a barrage of thankful emojis: "You're a lifesaver, Lyra! I knew we could count on you! I'll tell the Admin Director right now and have them send you the reservation details and the client's file. You're the absolute best, always swooping in to rescue us."

Lyra stared at the screen, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on her lips.

Yes, she really was the best. She was so good that she voluntarily stepped up whenever the secretarial pool was in a bind. She was so good that she constantly treated the younger girls to afternoon tea and gifted them designer items. She was so good that everyone universally believed she was gentle, considerate, and profoundly understanding. She was so good that every single person in that office operated under the unspoken assumption that she was destined to be the lady of the Lancaster empire.

So naturally, these little "rescue" requests fell right into her lap.

And this effortless entitlement was exactly what she wanted.

Lancaster Group Headquarters, 66th floor.

The moment Lyra clicked into the secretarial office in her heels, several young assistants immediately swarmed her, chattering non-stop with immense gratitude.

"Lyra, thank god you're here! She had to leave in such a rush, she didn't even finish organizing the files!"

"Lyra, here's the confirmation for The Zenith. The booking is for The Whispering Pines Suite, but the menu needs Mr. Lancaster's final approval."

"The client's dossier is right here. Mr. Klaus Hilti is the Asia-Pacific President of Switzerland's largest medical device corporation. He's here to finalize a major partnership. Mr. Lancaster is taking this incredibly seriously."

Lyra took the files, scanning them rapidly while maintaining her signature graceful, flawless smile. "Don't panic, everyone. I've got this handled. Cassie, contact The Zenith and verify the freshness of tonight's ingredients, especially since Mr. Hilti's file notes he doesn't eat seafood. Make sure they have a backup plan ready. And you, get me a summary of the letter of intent. I'll leave it in Mr. Lancaster's car so he can review it on the drive over."
