Evelyn's eyes rimmed with red, and she let out a pitiful whimper. "In school, she had better grades and was prettier than me. Later, we both loved you, but you favored her. Lucas, will I *never* be able to beat her?"
Lucas furrowed his brow and sent me a WeChat message: *Daniela, arrange for Evelyn to be a CEO as well. No distinction between primary and secondary.*
A dry chuckle escaped me as I read it.
From the moment I saw Evelyn, I knew she wasn't just here to steal a man—she was here to steal the fortune.
My bottom line had always been clear: infidelity I could ignore, but my property was sacred.
Evelyn had crossed the line.
I was handling paperwork when my office door was shoved open.
Evelyn strutted in wearing a pink professional skirt suit, head held high, chest thrust out. She aimed for imposing but landed squarely on gaudy—like a cheap secretary trying to seduce the boss in a bad movie.
"Daniela, Lucas agreed. My position won't be lower than yours!"
She tossed her handbag onto my desk with a heavy thud.
"I know."
I stood up immediately, grabbing my laptop. "Then I'll go find a spot in the general office area, okay?"
"No!"
