Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 548

Joy assumed they really did have an appointment with Lydia, so she smiled politely. “Please wait here for a moment. I’ll call upstairs and check if Ms. Norwood is available.”

Jenson couldn’t help but wonder. The receptionist kept saying Ms. Norwood. Was Miss L’s real last name Norwood? He wanted to ask, but he thought better of it. The last thing they needed was to get caught in a lie.

“Thank you so much, miss. We really do have something urgent to discuss with Miss L,” he said, trying to sound sincere.

Joy nodded. “Of course. I’ll call right now.” She picked up the phone and dialed Josef, the president’s assistant. If anyone would know about Ms. Norwood’s schedule, it would be him. The call connected quickly, and Joy explained the situation in a few sentences. Josef paused for a second, then replied, “Ms. Norwood is in a meeting with the design department right now. I’ll check with her when she’s done. Please have them wait for now.”

“Thank you, Josef,” Joy replied.

Jenson and Milana both perked up when they heard this. They tried not to show it, but their relief was obvious in the way they glanced at each other.

Joy led them to the reception lounge, brought over some tea and snacks, and said with a friendly smile, “Ms. Norwood is still in her meeting, so please relax here. As soon as she’s free, I’ll take you up to see her.”

Milana was almost in disbelief at how easy this was turning out to be. Were they really about to see Miss L without any trouble?

“Thank you, sweetheart. Do you know how long her meeting usually lasts?” Milana asked. She didn’t mind waiting at all, but she wanted to be sure Miss L was really upstairs.

Joy thought for a second. “I’m actually not sure. Ms. Norwood just arrived at the office right before you did.”

Jenson could barely hide his excitement. Their timing couldn’t have been better.
