Cecilia turned to Nathaniel, her expression curious. "So, what should I be focusing on then?"

"You need to conserve your energy," Nathaniel said firmly. "You don't want to be dozing off in tomorrow/s meeting. Just establish your credibility, and the rest will be handled by others."

Cecilia realized she was starting to feel tired. She powered down her computer. "I'll head to bed now. You should get some rest too."

"All right," Nathaniel replied.

Once she left, Nathaniel switched off her computer completely. He then made a call. "She's starting at Jamieson Group tomorrow," he said, his voice calm but decisive. "If she faces any issues she can't resolve, inform me immediately."

Nathaniel had his own loyal contacts within the Jamieson Group, ensuring he would stay informed.

Meanwhile, Cassandra was living without a care in the world. The hospital had sent her several medical crisis notices about her child, but she had ignored every single one.

She had also brought Ralph into Jamieson Group, and together, the two of them had thrown the company into complete disarray.

Neither of them knew that Queenie had already finalized arrangements for Cecilia to step in as CEO.

The next morning, work began early to renovate the CEO's office.

"Ms. Evans, these are all Mdm. Queenie's personal belongings. Are you sure you want to throw them out?" -Caliste asked hesitantly. "What if Mdm. Queenie recovers and asks for them?"

Cassandra shrugged, entirely unfazed. "Then put them in storage."

"But..."

No buts," Cassandra snapped. "I'm running this company now. Naturally, the office should reflect my taste,

That particular office, however, belonged to Scorpius, who had met with Cecilia the day before.

That day, Scorpius returned with a group of senior executives.

As Ralph made his way toward the office, Scorpius and his team intercepted him. "This office isn't yours to claim," Scorpius said sharply.noveldrama

Ralph and Cassandra froze in their tracks.

Cassandra tried to mask her confusion with a friendly smile. "Scorpius, didn't we agree yesterday that you would leave room for the younger generation? Why the sudden change of heart? And why bring all these executives? Are you staging a coup?"

Scorpius had remained patient out of respect for Queenie, but now that Queenie had explicitly thrown her

"Ms. Evans, as of yesterday, Madam Queenic appointed a new CEO. Any personnel changes you made are invalid," he announced.

A new CEO?

Cassandra's disbelief was evident. "Why wasn't/l informed?"

Ignoring her, Scorpius turned to his team. “Has the new CEO arrived?"

"Already downstairs," one of them replied.

"Let's go meet them," Scorpius said. "We'll leave the office decisions to the CEO once they're here."

With that, the group swept out of the office, leaving Cassandra standing there, stunned.

What is Queenie thinking? Instead of trusting her own daughter, she brings in someone else to run the company?

Ralph frowned. "Cassandra, what's happening?"

She clenched her fists, seething. "I don't know, but we're going to find out who this so-called CEO is."

In her mind, Cassandra dismissed the idea that the CEO could pose a real challenge. She figured it would be some easily controlled executive from headquarters-a mere puppet for her to manipulate.
