The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 635:

Though Minna had secured her spot in the secretary department through questionable tactics, she was in high spirits. But watching everyone else leave while Ethan lingered alone with Brenna—door closed—soured her mood.

Rex approached, his expression tight with irritation. He was still simmering over his earlier clash with Minna, anxious about whether she would cause trouble for him later.

Minna’s identity gave him a headache. He doubted Ethan would ever take her seriously or bend to his mother’s pressure. Ten years from now, Minna would likely still be nowhere near becoming Ethan’s wife. Still, he worried she might leverage her connection to Elsa to assert dominance in the secretary department and use Elsa to get closer to Ethan. Even if unlikely, the possibility darkened his mood further.

Rex stopped at Minna’s new desk, his voice curt and formal. “You don’t have a specific role in the secretary department yet. Your tasks are to prepare coffee for the CEO’s office and clean the office twice daily—morning and evening. Mr. Mitchell takes one coffee in the morning, three glasses of water before noon, and three more in the afternoon. For guests, you will also cater to their needs. You need to memorize the preferences of clients who visit for meetings. Any slipup will cost you part of your salary.”

His clipped tone and rigid professionalism made Minna feel displeased. Still, she wasn’t the type to throw her weight around. Deep down, she sensed Rex was targeting her on purpose.
