Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizzie had been a clerk in the executive suite, unlike Mr. Winters who had only

been transferred this year, completely unfamiliar with Lizzie. Mrs. Clara, however, had met Lizzie before.

After all, such a stunning beauty, even if just a lowly clerk, could hardly go unnoticed.

Lizzie wasn't surprised, offering a light smile, "This probably has nothing to do with our meeting today, Mrs. Clara. Here's our letter of intent. We're very sincere, and I believe you might want to take a look."

Seeing her reluctance to elaborate, Mrs. Clara didn't pry further, but she didn't take the letter of intent from Lizzie, just raising an eyebrow.

"Ms. Madden, I've already put Mr. Winters in charge of the annual gala, and from what I've heard, he seemed to have finalized a deal with Glory Media just yesterday."

Lizzie smiled too, "But, isn't Mr. Winters about to be suspended for an investigation?"

Mrs. Clara's eyebrow twitched.

The news of the heiress of the Madden Group making her return had caught her attention.
