‘Was it Howard?‘ Elijah wondered.
Elijah frowned and instructed Leon coldly, “Keep looking. Send someone to check on Howard too. As Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
soon as you find anything, notify me immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Lawson.” Leon nodded, though his expression seemed reluctant.
Seeing that Leon was still there, Elijah was puzzled. “Why are you still here? Is there anything else to report?”
Leon was in a dilemma. He knew it might anger Elijah, but he could not hold back.
“You’re getting harder to understand these days. You’ve already divorced, yet you’re still concerned
about Ms. Sheena while neglecting Ms. Moore, who truly deserves your attention. What’s on your
mind?”
Elijah grabbed the glass ashtray from the table and threw it at Leon’s feet.
“Get out!”
Leon wisely stepped back.
Elijah lit two more cigarettes.
Feeling a little hungry, he got up and opened the fridge, which was filled with all the foods he loved.
He stood there in a daze.
Suddenly, he vaguely recalled that over the past three years, the first thing he saw when he came
home would be Sheena’s eager eyes.
She would welcome him with a smile, offer him slippers, and say, “You’re back. You must be tired. Are
you hungry? I’ve prepared dinner.”
Yet, he never really looked at her. In the face of the warm meal on the table, he would always make a
sarcastic remark and retreat to his room.
It was a thankless task, yet that foolish woman would still do it every day.
Suddenly, Sheena’s last words before leaving the banquet echoed in his ears.
“In our three years of marriage, I have done nothing wrong.”
If that was true, then what was her relationship with Howard?
Realizing that he had been thinking about Sheena, Elijah felt oddly irritated. He closed the fridge out of
annoyance and went upstairs. He then showered and went to bed.
The next morning, the lobby of Angle Group was packed as employees stood in rows, looking at each
other, waiting for Howard’s arrival.
Half an hour later, Howard appeared at the entrance with Sheena.
Sheena deliberately chose a white tailored skirt suit for that day, with her ponytail tied up high, exuding
a poised, intelligent, and capable aura.
As she appeared, there was a stir among the crowd of employees.
The sight of the two was pleasing to their eyes.
Howard walked to the center and announced, “This is our new talent manager, Ms. Sheena, who will be
working with all of you from now on.”
The crowd applauded.
Sheena smiled and nodded, courteously accepting the applause.
Then, Howard briefed them on the recent targets and let everyone return to their positions, leaving the
talent management team behind.
“Sue, Sheena is new here and unfamiliar with the operation. Please assist her,” Howard named Sue
Klein specifically, who was the lead agent in the talent management team. She had wavy blonde hair,
bold makeup, and a stunning figure.
Sue nodded and smiled warmly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lawson. I will do my best to assist her.”
After Howard left, her smile disappeared, and she gestured for Sheena to follow her.
As Sheena looked over, she coincidentally caught a glimpse of the subtle look of disgust in Sue’s
eyes.
It would seem that Sue did not like her!
“Ms. Klein, please address me Ms. Sheena from now on.”
Sue hesitated for a moment before immediately adopting a respectful attitude.
Throughout the morning, Sheena familiarized herself with the company’s materials in her office, and
Sue kept bringing piles of documents to her desk, stacking them high.
Looking at the pile of documents, Sheena frowned and asked, “Aren’t we directly in charge of agents
and artists in this department? Why do we have to go through so much information?”
Sue sneered.
“These are just some basic information. Once you finish going through this stack, there’s more to
come.”
Then, she mockingly added, “It seems that you’re unfamiliar with this position.”
Sheena did not hide her inexperience and nodded openly, “Indeed. This is my first time in this
position.”
Sue was surprised.
The position had been vacant since the previous manager’s transfer, and she was the most suitable
candidate for promotion. Yet, the company suddenly appointed this bimbo, snatching her position and
subjecting her to ridicule from other employees.
How could she accept this humiliation?
Jealousy and resentment filled her eyes as she looked at Sheena’s stunning face.
“How did some trash like you, with no experience or education, get into Angle Group? Did you get in by
selling your body?”
