Chapter 288

The news of my transfer to Shaville caught me off guard for a moment.

I glanced at Jared. He had a calm expression, speaking in a strictly business–like tone, “We’re planning to turn the hotel into a brand. We need you to go all in on this. If it succeeds, you’ll be rewarded as a key contributor.”

Amy gave me a flash of jealousy before she masked it with a smile. “Ms. Murphy, Mr. Holcomb trusts you with this project. Congrats, you really proved yourself.”

Flattery like that was just for show. I didn’t take it seriously.

I thought Jared’s real motive was to get me out of Hachester, and Nathan was the reason

why.

Jared, with his feigned calm eyes, looked over with excessive attention. “You’re welcome to share your thoughts.”

Amy looked at me, a hint of mockery flickering in her eyes.

She seemed to think, “You keep saying you’re getting divorced, but you’re still entangled

with Jared.”

“Alright, I’ll go to Shaville,” I said. For me, it was a whole new environment and a brand new

challenge.
