The room buzzed with voices, yet no one was truly speaking.The board of directors wore expressions of fury, demanding that Zach fire Heidi on the spot. Caught in the crossfire, Zach shot Heidi a helpless look before addressing the seething group.“Everyone, cool down. At least, let’s hear what Heidi has to say.”“Mr. Olsen, there’s nothing to explain here. It is obvious that this young lady is not fit for this job. Doesn’t the rumor have it that her qualifications are outdated?” One of the directors retorted.“It was brought to our attention that she doesn’t have any job experience. For many years, she has been unemployed,” another added before concluding, “So giving her this position was a mistake.”“Guys, I told you to be quiet!” Zach groaned. “Respect me as the President, at least.”But no one respected him. Not even the board of directors. Hadn’t he been the root of all the problems in the first place? If it hadn’t been for his poor management, the company wouldn’t be in such a m

Startled eyes stared back at her before they turned as dark as the bottom of a pit.“What are you doing here, Heidi?” The man didn’t let go of her; in fact, his arms tightened around her, caging her in place.Heidi wanted to believe she was hallucinating. The last person she expected to see here was Lucas.“Mr. Harrison, let go of me.” Heidi pushed him away and struggled out of his embrace. She also lost her footing this time but managed to catch herself.“I asked you… what are you doing here?”His cold-deep voice was supposed to make her shudder. However, Heidi seemed to be immune to it, probably due to the wine’s effect.Lucas’s eyes traveled from her half-lidded eyes to the tip of her nose, which was slightly red. Then they fell on her red cheeks. The girl looked tipsy, and a faint smell of wine hung around her.“Excuse me…” Heidi wanted to walk away, but he grabbed her hand.“Aren’t you going to answer my question-”Before Lucas completed his words, Zach barged out of the booth.“

Inside the large conference hall of the GK Group. Charts and figures showed in the presentation screen, displaying the rise and fall of stocks. The hall echoed with the presenter's voice as he justified the figures on the screen. The man whom the presenter was particularly enlightening on the matters of the Group seemed to be lost in another world. Sitting across the large desk was the solitary figure whose eyes were rather fixed on the floor-to-ceiling windows instead of the screen. Seemingly deep in his thoughts, time flew by and the presentation ended without him even throwing a single question at the presenter. The Departments Managers and other members of the board of directors left the meeting bewildered. Lucas didn't move from his position. His mind and thoughts were all on one person… Heidi. “Mr. Harrison.” Amanda waved a hand in front of him. “There is an important matter you need to attend to.” “What is it?” Lucas said with a hint of annoyance, not liking th

“Hey, wait! Stop this instant!” The Manager sprang from his chair. “Are you crazy!?” He pulled the lady off Heidi, but she struggled to break free. “Let me at her! Just let me destroy her the way she destroyed my dreams!” The commotion caught the other employees' attention and they gathered around the Manager's office. Heidi was lost for words. Even when the Security arrived to restrain the lady, she didn't move. “Ms. Olsen.” Isla tapped her. “Argh! I have to take my vengeance! Do you know how many people I feed? Who the hell gave you permission to fire everyone as you please?” The crazy-looking lady yelled and bawled her eyes out, sobbing loudly. “You should be ashamed of yourself! You're not a CEO, you're a dream crusher!” “Let her go.” Heidi listened to the lady's words and her expression changed. The Security hesitated before letting her go. “If I'm not wrong, you're one of the employees who got their leave letters,” Heidi continued. “Isn't it obvious!?” The lady s

GK Group was severing its ties with AG Group? As Heidi entered her room, the thought resonated in her mind as she'd long put Lilian's provocation at the back of her mind. She sat on the bed, contemplating. Both AG Group and GK Group had great power and could stand on their own, before AG Group began to face crises. Until now, Heidi never knew that GK Group had such deep connections with AG Group. Lucas didn't know about her connection with the Olsens Family. Only a handful of people, apart from her family members knew of her existence in the Olsens Family. Lucas pulling out the investments… It definitely wasn't because of her. Then was it because of Zach? Heidi put two and two together and arrived at a conclusion. However, why would Lucas do that? It shouldn't be out of jealousy, right? Ha! Heidi laughed at her own thoughts, shoving them aside. She entered the bathroom, took a warm bath, changed into her pajamas, dried her hair and got ready for bed. Then the ri
