Dana and Celine were cut from the same cloth, but the difference here was that Celine was simply playing pretend; when it was time to actually step up to the plate, she was useless. After all, her husband kept his eyes on her. On the other hand, Dana was the real deal. Regardless of male or female, both were acceptable to her—she even had countless sugar babies under her wing. Not only that, Dana had angered several fiances into leaving her. It even enraged the Grand Elder himself to the point where white, long hairs made their way into his beard.

As the elevator door opened, Sarah dashed out with the documents in her hand as she scurried away.

Meanwhile, Dana followed behind languidly as she put her sunglasses on. In an instant, her aura became cold once more. With a determined smile on her lips, she strode gracefully and made her way over to the meeting room with her spectacular aura.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble Sarah could stir up, wet behind the ears like she was.

Dana would certainly win those rights this time!

Meanwhile, the meeting had already begun inside. Dana sat down nonchalantly among the directors, having already taken her sunglasses off. A sinister smile hung on her lips as she steepled her fingers together in anticipation of Sarah’s performance.

I do not think there is any need for you to speak anymore.”

The other directors chimed in as well and said, “Yes, yes. There’s no need for that, so you shouldn’t waste your breath.”

Sarah felt uncomfortable after being shot down like that, but she steeled herself and steadied her trembling voice, lowering her pitch in a bid to not make herself seem cute.

“Please quiet down and listen to me first. I am not opposed to the partnership between the Winstons and the Michels, but I think that we can certainly gain a project that is even more beneficial to us!”

 

The directors were skeptical. In their eyes, the director’s wife was simply here for show. What kind of project could she get, and a better one at that?

Dana had a laugh waiting to bubble up.
