The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 127

Did he really just describe his empire as driving for Uber?

When Noella first met him, she truly thought he was just some poor kid who needed to hustle as a hitman and Uber driver to make ends meet.

Back then, she even consoled him, telling him not to envy the high society, claiming it was nothing fancy. Little did she know, he was the head honcho of the Pollack Group, worth enough to buy out a bunch of folks on the dark web. The idea of him moonlighting as a hitman there was beyond belief. Not to mention how he’d been dutifully ferrying her to and from work.

Looking back on it now, it was kind of hilarious!

Palmer led Noella through the bustling mall to the top floor.

Annie stood at the entrance of the shooting range, smiling and holding a velvet box. “Ms. Noella, you look stunning today, and Boss looks like a human.”

She must be out of her mind to compliment the boss in front of his fiancée. Besides, no boss looks good on the job; they’re all capitalists! But Ms. Noella was different, graceful and poised, intelligent and composed–truly the most beautiful princess in the world!

“Annie, I thought you and Ulrich took off together?”

“Oh, he had me shadowing Ms. Yvonne, but since she’s back with Ashlyn, I’m back on the

clock.”

Annie thought to herself, it was all tears and sweat. Tailgating Yvonne seemed easy, but only those who did it knew the struggle.

Yvonne had been doing practically nothing the last couple of days besides lounging in hotels and hanging out in nightclubs. The hardest part for Annie was sneaking into her room to swap out the Nourishment Pill Yvonne bought, almost running out of places to step.

Just thinking about that room made Annie want to cry. After years in the business, it was a first for her to dig through a dumpster for something.

“The Nourishment Pill has been delivered to Ms. Noella’s lab, and this is a gift Mr. Pollack prepared for you.”

Annie opened the box she held, revealing a pair of exquisite couple’s watches nestled in luxurious velvet, each diamond sparkling. Etched inside the watch face was a discreet series. of numbers.
