Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 833

Lizetta had just finished speaking when she turned and left without giving Stella another glance. Stella watched her go, a dark storm brewing in her eyes. Once Lizetta and Lilian entered the elevator, Lilian cast a quick glance at Lizetta. "Hey, wasn't that guy from Glory Media, Mr. Smith? Do you know him?" Lizetta gave her a fleeting look, choosing not to reply.

Feeling slightly uneasy, Lilian wrinkled her forehead. "I heard she's also the eldest daughter of the West family. They're a big deal here in Zion City, ranking high in social circles. Please don't stir up trouble and drag me into it." Lizetta just smiled at her. "Don't worry, you dashed off so quickly, she probably didn't even catch your face."

The sarcasm wasn't lost on Lilian, and her expression turned awkward. "I really can't afford to offend Ms. West." Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature. Lizetta didn't seem bothered and shifted her gaze away.

They arrived at the HR department responsible for the annual event. The assistant took their proposal and asked them to wait in a small office, saying Deputy Director Tan would review their proposal shortly and discuss it in detail soon. However, Lizetta and Lilian ended up waiting for over an hour, completely neglected. Checking the time and seeing the end of the workday approaching, Lizetta stepped out of the rest area.

She was about to inquire with the assistant about the status of their proposal submission when she saw the door to the director's office open across the hall. President Winters, all smiles, was seeing two women out-Stella and her assistant. "Rest assured, Ms. West. Once I have the contract ready, we'll sign it straight away."

"I'll be waiting for your call then, President Winters. I'll come over..."
