From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Debra dropped the stack of files onto Shelia’s desk.

Shelia looked up, her face paling to a ghostly white.

“Absolutely, you’re right,” Liam said.

Debra smiled with satisfaction. “Then it’s settled. I’ll get back to work. Mr. Tyson, please sign here.”

“Alright, I’ll sign,” Liam agreed hastily.

He scrawled his signature without a thought about whether they could renew the contract with Michael next year.

Angering Debra was more dangerous than losing money.

Shelia stood rooted to the spot, her body trembling with barely contained rage. She watched as Debra sauntered back to her workstation, looking entirely at ease amidst the tension.

Debra’s smile widened as she caught sight of Shelia’s frustrated expression.

Truth be told, Shelia was not without her strengths. She was clever, academically gifted, and possessed a certain cunning. However, she was woefully ignorant of the unspoken rules that governed their industry. She believed that her association with Juan would grant her immunity, but she had failed to grasp the nuances of their social circle. Even with a powerful name behind her, she would never be accepted as a mistress.

It was a lesson Rosalie had learned the hard way. Despite her current rightful status and Ralph’s genuine care for her, she remained an outcast in high society.

After all, her position had not been earned honorably.

After signing the contract, Liam handed it back to Debra, who passed it to Ben without so much as a glance. Take the contract back. You can go now.”

“Yes, madam,” Ben replied, casting a withering look at Liam before. turning to leave.

Debra’s phone buzzed, a message illuminating the screen.

Michael: [How’s the situation?]

Debra: [Good!]

Though Michael hadn’t explicitly stated how he would assist her, Debra had a general picture.

Liam, still standing awkwardly beside her, awaited her next instructions. Debra simply said, “Everyone, please return to your posts. It’s work time,

and I’m still an intern. Chill out.”

Despite her reassurances, no one dared to take her words lightly.

Shelia, her voice like ice, snapped at the lingering workers. “Why are you all standing around? Go back to work.”

The employees scattered, quickly returning to their desks. Shelia, still fuming, retreated to her office. A while later, she was summoned to

Liam’s office.

“Mr. Tyson, anything I can do for you?”

“Miss Miles, your abilities are exceptional, truly. But you’re overqualified

for our company.”

“Are you trying to get rid of me?”

Shelia quickly caught on to his implications.

Liam chose his words carefully. “Our company is small. We can’t

accommodate two important figures, especially since Ms. Frazier is Mr. Nichols‘ wife. It might not be suitable for you to be here.”

He was dancing around the issue, but the meaning was clear.

Unfazed, Shelia took a step forward and said, “If you’re worried about offending Debra, don’t be. Juan will divorce her soon, and I’ll put in good words for you.”

“That’s not the problem, Miss Miles.” Liam looked troubled. “You know, Ms. Frazier has the backing of her family. It’s just been reported that Mr. Frazier has placed her in charge of all the company affairs. I can’t afford to offend them.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Shelia staggered back, her composure crumbling. “What? That can’t be true.”
