Chapter 119:
Sheila had been waiting outside the door for a brief moment when a voice from within beckoned her inside. She swiftly opened the door and stepped into the chairman’s office.
Normally aloof and proud, Sheila now carried herself with humility and deference. Her head bowed slightly as she walked carefully, keen on making a positive impression.
The office was spacious, and she noticed a figure seated in a leather chair, their back to her, staring out the window.
Standing beside this figure was Charlie, the CEO, his posture respectful.
A flutter of excitement ran through Sheila. The person in the chair had to be the chairman.
Before she could introduce herself, the chairman spoke. “Mr. Arnold, there’s no need for you to stay. You may leave now p>
Charlie paused, seemingly hesitant, but ultimately nodded and exited the office quietly.
Now alone with the mysterious chairman, Sheila’s heart raced with a blend of nervousness and curiosity. The chairman’s voice was not only pleasant but also unexpectedly youthful.
In fact, the voice sounded strangely familiar to Sheila, yet she couldn’t pinpoint exactly where she had heard it before. Brushing aside these thoughts, she focused on the reason the chairman had requested a private meeting.
With Charlie’s departure, leaving just the two of them, Sheila’s thoughts began to drift.
Many colleagues had shown interest in her before, but she had always remained indifferent.
After all, having climbed to the rank of vice president at such a young age, she wasn’t one to settle for just anyone. But the chairman’s attention was an entirely different matter.

As she pondered the implications, Sheila subconsciously ran her fingers over her black stockings, feeling a surge of anticipation rather than reluctance about the unfolding situation.
Securing the chairman’s favor could elevate her status within the company to new heights.
Skyline Group wasn’t just any company—it was the pinnacle of success in Inewood, led by a chairman whose caliber was unmatched.
Most people would vie fiercely for such an opportunity.
Lost in her thoughts, Sheila barely noticed that Charlie had already left the office, gently shutting the door behind him.
She was abruptly pulled back to the present, her face shifting into a seductive guise, ready to captivate.
But as the chair slowly swiveled around, revealing the mysterious chairman, Sheila’s tempting facade froze.
The man seated before her was none other than Ashton—the very person she had just dismissed at the company’s entrance moments ago!
Ashton observed Sheila’s stunned expression, a subtle smirk curling at the corners of his lips as he taunted, “Ms. Watson, you were quite the force to be reckoned with downstairs. Why do you look so pale now? Are you not feeling well p>
Under the weight of Ashton’s mocking smile, Sheila was at a loss for his motives.
It felt as though she had been dropped into a cold abyss, her legs weak and unsteady.
How could this be? Why him?
The sensation was like a forceful blow to the head, leaving her spinning and disoriented.
Amidst the confusion, the only clear thought that pierced through was the realization that her inept brother had truly landed her in serious trouble this time!
