The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 251

Did the Schnabel family really set their kid up with a company gig this early?

Darcy’s mouth twitched, suddenly hit with a wave of upper–class culture shock.

She remembered finding so many classes boring back in school, but why didn’t she have a dozen companies managing her affairs?

Talk about a humbly extravagant excuse!

Darcy had thought Noella simply didn’t want to attend school and had prepared a bunch of arguments to persuade her to take her studies seriously. Now, she realized that even with her own salary, she was reaching for the stars.

Before leaving the office, Noella’s gaze fell on a bunch of flowers beside Darcy’s trash bin- vibrant purple irises, full of life, with a card bearing strong and vigorous handwriting.

“Wishing you all the best. May you soar high.”

Though unsigned, it was clearly Beckett’s handwriting!

The flowers were wrapped in the same paper as the bouquet Beckett had given Noella yesterday, from the florist shop beneath Beckett’s company building.

Beckett’s flowers, tossed carelessly into the trash by Darcy?

Noella paused. “Ms. Darcy, are these from Beckett?”

Darcy didn’t shy away from answering, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear with a smile. “Yes, it was his way of asking me to look after you. But Beckett doesn’t know I’m allergic to irises. Since your parents are abroad, it would be best if you could get Beckett to sign the application tu S.”

“Alright, I’ll let him know.”

How did Darcy know Tristan and Sienna were out of the country?

Noella didn’t ask for more details; she simply nodded and left the office.

As she opened the door, a few eavesdroppers stumbled backward in a comical fall, awkwardly facing Noella.

Noella swept her gaze over them, the majority of whom were friends of Oriana, probably there to see if Noella got scolded by Darcy.

The situation was momentarily awkward.

Noella didn’t spare them a glance, stepping away and leaving the scene.

After Beckett was informed about signing the forms, he called Darcy.

Darcy paused for a moment before adding, “Thank you for the gesture, Mr. Schnabel, but there’s no need for flowers next time. I’m allergic to all pollen.”
