The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Just then, Yvonne's boss called.

"Miss."

"That woman in the photo you sent yesterday is Sherlyn, Ernest Holt's granddaughter."

What? Ernest Holt? Yvonne was shocked. Having followed her boss for so long, of course she would know such a prominent figure.

"My goodness, miss! How could someone of Sherlyn's status be associated with Felix?"
