cy glanced nervously at Leo, then back at Cecilia. After a moment’s hesitation, she sided with Leo instead. Getting a spot at Th Company was a huge opportunity no one would turn down.

“I’m sorry, Madam,” Lucy said. “I’ve decided to hand in my resignation. I won’t be working at Mercer Group any longer.”

“What?!”

Cecilia never expected Chase’s personal secretary to switch sides so easily. She flew into a rage and shouted harshly at her. “You shameless woman! Chase hired you with a generous salary, and this is how you repay him? You’ve betrayed him, betrayed the whole Mercer family! You’re nothing but an ungrateful coward!”

“People always choose the better place to work for,” Lucy retorted coolly. “I’m only looking out for my own future. No one in Linholt would turn down an offer from The T Company. You can stay stuck with your son and your tiny little company. I want no part of it.”

She then turned to Leo with a sweet, ingratiating smile. “I’ve already quit my job at Mercer Group. About your offer earlier….”

“I meant every word of the invitation,” Leo replied calmly. “You may head over to the HR department to go through the interview process,”

“Still an interview?” Lucy asked cautiously. “Is it just a formality?”

Leo wore a faint smile. “We maintain strict hiring standards here at The T Company. That said, our CEO isn’t particularly fond of people who switch sides so readily.”

Lucy’s expression darkened instantly. “What exactly are you saying?”

“You… all of you…”

Lucy was left utterly humiliated and lost. She had just burned all bridges with Mercer Group, and now she had

Once the lobby commotion was fully settled, Leo walked over to join Nina and Caleb.

Caleb gave him a thumbs-up. “Smooth move. No wonder Nina picked you for this job. You play it calm and hit hard.”

Leo simply smiled in response, then turned to Nina. “Ms. Tann, she’s been escorted out. Everything’s under control here

“Good.” Nina said.

She left the building with Caleb right after.

Cecilia, who had been driven outside, soon circled back. Still fuming, she planned to march inside and argue once more. Instead, she caught sight of Nina and Caleb walking out of The T Company one after another.

Her brows knotted tightly in confusion.

What are Nina and Caleb doing here?

Could it be that The T Company is working together with the Tann family?

The thought filled her with dread. If The T Company and the Tanns joined forces against us, we would be finished.

A scheme formed in her mind at once.

I have to find a way to make Nina become Chase’s wife.

Once that happens, the mysterious boss of The T Company will have no reason to treat us with disrespect.

Cecilia headed straight back to the Mercer Villa.

Chase was already in a foul mood after being shut out at The T Company that day. He was even more confused when he saw his mother storming inside looking furious. “Mom? What happened to you?”

“What do you think happened?” Cecilia snapped. “You hired yourself a wonderful secretary, that’s what?”

“Lucy?” Chase frowned. “What on earth did she do now?”

“I heard The T Company was targeting our business, so I went over there to confront their CEO,” Cecilia explained angrily. “Next thing I know, they throw me right out on the spot! And that Lucy? She’s snobbish. A few simple words from them, and she’s ready to jump ship and quit her job with us!”
