Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 116

He was just the president’s assistant, with barely any real power, and it wasn’t like the company had ever trusted him with much before Lydia showed up.

“I need the resumes for everyone in design and finance,” Lydia said.

She wanted to start by shaking up those two departments first. Production would have to wait. She already suspected the problems there were even uglier and would take longer to sort out.

“Yes, Ms. Norwood. I’ll get those for you right away.”

“Thanks.”

Josef hesitated. “Do you want to call a meeting today?”

Lydia didn’t even pause. “No. Tell everyone to do their usual.”

“Understood.”

Josef stepped out of her office and was about to head to HR when someone slung an arm over his shoulder.

“Josef…”

He turned to see Henry, looking as lazy and cocky as ever. Josef kept it polite. “Mr. Ragain.”

Henry grinned, eyes narrowing with mischief. “So, that girl in there… she’s our new president?”

He’d only just found out himself. He’d gone to the secretaries to gossip and ask if Lydia was some new intern, only to be told she was actually the new president, Ms. Norwood.

He’d laughed at first. He’d never seen anyone so young be the boss. And Norwood? That had to mean she was close to the Norwood family. If Lydia really was important to them, Henry figured he wouldn’t mind using his charm to get on her good side. Everyone wanted a connection with the Norwoods. If he couldn’t win over the proud Lucinda, maybe he could at least cozy up to a cousin.

Josef nodded. “Yes, Mr. Ragain.”
