From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Randy escorted Debra and Erica into the building, his presence commanding respect as they walked through the lobby.

“What’s HR doing around here? If I hear any more rumors like that, I’ll have everyone involved pack up and leave,” he growled.

The employees scattered like a flock of startled birds.

Just as Debra was about to step further into the lobby, a voice from outside caught her attention.

“Good morning. Ms. Blair.”

The receptionist warmly greeted Shelia as she walked in. The moment her eyes fell on Debra, her expression tightened.

Debra was dressed in an elegant suit that exuded a cool, aristocratic aura, a stark contrast to her usual casual style.

The thought of last night’s humiliation rattled Shelia all over again.

She glanced at the dispersing employees and frowned. “What’s going on? Who’s causing trouble so early in the morning?”

Erica, never one to mince words, scoffed, “Oh, aren’t you bold, Ms. Blair?”

No longer fearful of Erica, Shelia shot back, “Miss Mathis, was it you stirring up trouble here?”

The room fell silent. Though Shelia was dressed up like a socialite, standing next to Debra and Erica, she 1ost all her luster. Her tone carried little weight as she confronted them.

Randy spun around and spoke. “Actually, it was me.”

Shelia faced him and sneered, “I thought it was someone important. Shouldn’t you be in your own company instead of making a scene here?”

Her words sent another wave of shock through the room. Everyone knew that Randy was not just a shareholder but also a board member of the McKinney Group.

He was actively involved in the company’s business, far from being just a figurehead. Clearly, Shelia hadn’t done her homework. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The strange glances from the employees rattled Shelia.

Randy turned to the receptionist and said, “Would you mind telling Ms. Blair why I’m standing here?”

The receptionist hesitantly looked at Shelia and whispered, “Mr. Osborne is one of the major shareholders here and serves as a board member. I believe he’s here on official business.”

Technically, Shelia was still beneath Randy in the company’s hierarchy. It was laughable that she didn’t even know who her superiors were.

Debra couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene. She had assumed Shelia had done her homework about the company, but it turned out she didn’t even know the organization chart,

Trying to save face, Shelia quickly composed herself and smiled politely. “I didn’t realize you were one of our board members, Mr. Osborne. I’m still getting to know everyone here, and I apologize for the oversight.

Before Randy could respond, a cold voice echoed through the room. “If you’re truly sorry, then step down.”

All eyes turned to see Marion stride into the lobby, dressed in a black suit that accentuated his powerful aura. Behind him walked several senior secretaries.

The employees gasped in awe, finally getting a chance to meet the iron head of the Houston family.
