Lizzie had been a clerk in the executive suite, unlike Mr. Winters who had only been transferred this year, completely unfamiliar with Lizzie. Mrs. Clara, however, had met Lizzie before.
After all, such a stunning beauty, even if just a lowly clerk, could hardly go unnoticed.
Lizzie wasn't surprised, offering a light smile, "This probably has nothing to do with our meeting today, Mrs. Clara. Here's our letter of intent. We're very sincere, and I believe you might want to take a look."
Seeing her reluctance to elaborate, Mrs. Clara didn't pry further, but she didn't take the letter of intent from Lizzie, just raising an eyebrow.
"Ms. Madden, I've already put Mr. Winters in charge of the annual gala, and from what I've heard, he seemed to have finalized a deal with Glory Media just yesterday."
Lizzie smiled too, "But, isn't Mr. Winters about to be suspended for an investigation?"
Mrs. Clara's eyebrow twitched.
The news of the heiress of the Madden Group making her return had caught her attention.
Lizzie leaving the Starlight Group, and now suddenly changing her last name to Madden, Mrs. Clara had already guessed her identity.
And with Mr. Winters's incident happening just this morning, Lizzie knowing so quickly was no accident. It was clearly prearranged, meaning Mr. Winters's troubles were indeed related to Lizzie, and connected to yesterday's incident when Mr. Winters had security remove someone.
These thoughts flashed through her mind as Mrs. Clara sipped her coffee and smiled.
"Ms. Madden is quite well-informed. I didn't even know about Mr. Winters's imminent suspension."
Lizzie looked at Mrs. Clara, blinked, and nodded.
"I have great faith in Starlight Group's efficiency. They definitely wouldn't ignore such a complaint."
Mrs. Clara, who had married and conceived later in life, now sported a slight baby bump. But as a career-driven woman, she wasn't about to let pregnancy slow her down.
Mr. Winters, of average ability, had been promoted during Mrs. Clara's maternity leave, through a connection with a shareholder of the Starlight Group.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
