The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 95

Yvonne had been busting her butt trying to get on Palmer’s good side, constantly making a beeline for the Pollack Group’s skyscraper. Whenever she spotted a young and pretty female employee, she couldn’t help but throw shade.

She managed to get on the bad side of the entire Pollack Group’s staff, and they all gave her the cold shoulder.

But the kicker was that she was the little miss from the Schnabel family, so no one at the Pollack Group dared to mess with her.

“I’ve already asked all the security at the Pollack Group campus to blacklist her, sorry Noella, it won’t happen again.”

Noella played it cool. “You shouldn’t be apologizing to me; you should be apologizing to your staff.”

Annie was over the moon!

Listen to that; what a stand–up, kind–hearted boss lady!

Palmer chuckled. “Of course, I’ve given them a little extra something in their paycheck. I’ve seen the rules you set for the gallery and music store, and the Pollack Group will likely take a

leaf out of her book.”

Noella was taken aback.

The Pollack Group was an old–school conglomerate with its own set way of doing things, not quite like her gallery and music store.

Merrick’s contributions to her music store and gallery were small potatoes. The main point of the gallery and music store wasn’t to turn a profit.

She wasn’t surprised Palmer had read her charter but that he would actually consider adopting her policies.

“The Pollack Group’s charter has been a bit slack on the human touch; your rules are really on point.”

Her charter included specific menstrual leave for female employees and had even better benefits overall.

Noella caught Annie’s ears practically perking up and let out a chuckle.

Palmer seemed like he would make a decent boss.

Sitting at the dining table, Palmer reached his hand out to Noella, his voice seductive. “Do me a favor, fiancée, and help me with these cufflinks.”

No matter what shirt he wore, he always sported this pair of ruby cufflinks, adding a layer of mysterious, understated elegance to his whole aura, like some vampire duke of the night.
