Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 549

As soon as Lydia walked out of the conference room, Josef was already waiting for her. “Ms. Norwood, there are two people downstairs who’ve been waiting for you for over three hours.”

Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Waiting for me?”

“The front desk called. They said they have an appointment with you.”

Lydia didn’t bother to ask who it was. “I don’t have any appointments with anyone here.”

Josef got the message right away. Whoever was downstairs had lied, just to get a chance to see Lydia.

“I understand, Ms. Norwood. I’ll call the front desk and ask them to send those two away.”

“Alright.”

It wasn’t the front desk’s fault. Honestly, people tried to get in to see Lydia every single day.

Downstairs, Joy was still dealing with Jenson and Milana, who were hovering around her desk, clearly hoping she’d call upstairs and check for them. She looked torn, which is when Josef’s call finally came through.

“It’s Josef. Ms. Norwood must be done with her meeting.”

Jenson and Milana both lit up, barely able to hide their excitement.

But when Joy actually answered the phone, her whole expression changed in an instant.

Jenson and Milana noticed her sudden shift. They realized she’d found out about their little lie, but honestly, they didn’t care. They were desperate to see Miss L. What was a small lie if it got them what they needed? It was just a harmless fib.

“Miss, we’re with Smith Corporation. We’ve worked with LYLX for years. We really do need to see Miss L today.”

Joy had already finished her call and looked at them, unimpressed. “If you’ve been working with LYLX for years, shouldn’t you be at LYLX instead?”
