Chapter 116

As she watched Kristin and Rhett leave, Hertha’s expression turned sour.

“Ms. Haywood…” Rhett’s secretary spoke softly.

“I’ll wait here.” Hertha responded, her face quickly returning to an innocent smile. “I’ll have lunch with Rhett after his meeting.”

She settled onto the couch, where she remained the entire morning.

Her love for Rhett stretched back to childhood. Yet, Rhett never seemed to notice her. But Hertha had always known that Rhett would be hers somehow. By any means necessary, she’d ensure that he would marry her.

The secretary nodded and exited the CEO’s office.

Leaning back, Hertha was lost in thought. “How could I force Kristin out of the company?”

“Sirens! We need an ambulance!” The commotion outside pulled Hertha from her

scheming.

She stood up and grabbed someone passing by. “What happened?”

“Mr. FitzGerald had an allergic reaction and he’s in shock!”

Hertha went pale with worry and rushed towards the conference room. “Is the meeting over? How did he have an allergic reaction all of a sudden?”

“Apparently, the new assistant didn’t know about Mr. FitzGerald’s peanut allergy and offered him a peanut brittle after the meeting.”

Hertha frowned deeply. Kristin was a troublemaker!

Hertha’s stride faltered, but then a sly smile tugged at the corners of her lips..

With such a blunder, could Kristin even stay at the company after this?

“Ms. Haywood, don’t fret. The ambulance has arrived and Mr. FitzGerald is already on his way to the hospital,” the secretary reassured.

Hertha nodded, her voice heavy with implication. “Randall, how long have you been

with Rhett?”

“This is my second year,” the secretary Randall promptly replied.
