The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 2154

“Your hires are always top-notch. Lola would be a catch for the Jared Group..." Hilaria's voice trailed with a tinge of regret, "But she’s currently spearheading Jered Ventures, making waves. I love seeing women rise up, taking the world by storm – whether they work for me or not is beside the point.”

“Speaking of Lola, she’ll be sending you some fresh lobster the day after tomorrow.” Rosalynn attempted to steer the conversation elsewhere.

But...

“Yeah, your people are always the cream of the crop, but what's the deal with your new secretary?” Hilaria wasn’t having any of Rosalynn’s deflections.

“Let’s just say I’ve got myself an eye candy to admire.” Rosalynn responded with a hint of sarcasm.

“Don’t think I don’t know the score. I’ve dug up everything there is to know about her. She was practically raised by that old dame Natalie!” Hilaria scoffed, “Her last boss, the one currently treating Wayne, owes a lot to Natalie too. He's another one of her charity cases!”d2

“You sure know how to get to the botom of things, nothing escapes your eagle eye!” Rosalynn lavished her with praise.

Hilaria shot her a look, “What exactly are you trying to find out about her?”

Rosalynn grew serious, “I’m not entirely sure myself but... I’ve got this feeling that there’s something off about her and her mother.”

“So you’re keeping her away from Wayne?”

“Exactly.” Rosalynn nodded.

“I thought maybe you were just jealous.” Hilaria muttered, “I was thinking, you wouldn’t stoop to that, would you?”

Rosalynn laughed, “Don’t worry, she hardly ever sees me. I just write her a check each month. Penn feels bad about it, says he’ll reimburse me.”

“Her skills do leave a lot to be desired. I’ve heard quite a few jokes at her expense!” Hilaria continued to gripe.

Hilaria had no patience for fools.

Especially those too clueless to see their own foolishness, acting high and mighty without a cause.

As they passed by the small building where the bodyguards lived, a sudden outburst echoed: “I can’t do it!! I just can’t anymore!!” Then Felix burst out the door.
