Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704

Aria asked, “Did you drive here?”

Owen took her hand and said, “I took a cab here. We can just head straight home if you want. Things have been pretty quiet at the firm lately.”

He recently streamlined his workload to focus solely on major cases, making his schedule much more relaxed than before. He thought, ‘Now I’ll have more time to spend with Madelyn.

Back at the Stars Group headquarters. Miles glared at Silvia by the window and snapped, “Silvia, you’d better know your place. You’re just a junior staff member now. You have no business bypassing the chain of command.”

Silvia was gazing absentmindedly out the window when she suddenly spotted Aria and Owen. Instinctively, she leaned forward slightly for a clearer view.

Miles’s anger flared as he stepped closer. “You can’t even pay attention when I’m talking. Do you think you’re untouchable just because you have connections?”

Silvia recoiled, wiping her face with the back of her hand. “Just use your words, Miles. Don’t get so close. You’re practically spitting on my face.”

Miles’s fingers trembled with rage. “You-” He was on the verge of exploding.

“Miles!” Johnny approached, his face grim. “What’s going on?”

Miles immediately launched into a complaint. “Mr. Oconnor, Silvia has such an unprofessional attitude and absolutely no respect for her superiors. I was speaking to her quite civilly, and she just sat there staring out the window.”

Johnny stepped closer, his gaze flickering briefly to the window just in time to see Aria’s car pulling out of the parking lot. Johnny tore his gaze away and regarded Silvia. “So, is this your idea of professionalism?”

Silvia offered a deep bow. “My apologies, Mr. Qureshi. I shouldn’t have bypassed you to discuss the design drafts with Mr. Oconnor. You call the shots. If you want us to change something, we’ll change it.”

Miles winced, quickly trying to explain, “Mr. Oconnor, that’s not what happened…”

Johnny raised his hand, cutting Miles off. “I only care about results. If it’s Silvia’s fault, that proves she’s unfit for this position. But if responsibility lies with you, Miles…”

Johnny shot Miles an icy glare. “Then that also proves you’re unfit for this position, too.” Miles’s face fell instantly.

“Silvia,” Johnny said, “come with me to my office.” He turned and strode away. Silvia scurried after him in small, measured

steps.

Not far away, some employees from the advertising department were gossiping in hushed tones.

“Hey, have you guys noticed that Mr. Oconnor seems to treat Silvia a little differently?”

Another employee nodded discreetly. “I’ve actually noticed it for a while, ever since the night of the annual gala.”

Someone asked, “What exactly went down that night?”

“Hey, Tilda, I remember you went out with them that night. Do you know what really happened?”

Tilda looked distracted and shook her head. “I… I really don’t know.”
