The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 410

Charlotte let out a laugh. “Why would I fire you? You don’t even work for my company.”

Mandy glanced nervously at Sean.

Sean said casually, “Lottie, she stopped you at the front desk earlier. If you want her gone, I’ll let her go.”

Mandy’s eyes widened. “Wait–what?! Am I getting fired anyway?” she thought.

“I never said I wanted her fired,” Charlotte shot him a look. “I didn’t make an appointment, and she was just doing her job. It’s rare to find employees who actually take their responsibilities seriously. Don’t go firing people over something like that.”

Sean smiled, eyes soft. “Okay.”

Mandy exhaled, finally letting go of the breath she had been holding. Her heart, which had been lodged somewhere in her throat, finally returned to her chest.

Sean stayed seated beside Charlotte, casually trying to keep the conversation going.

“There’s a new sushi spot in West District. Want to check it out sometime?”

“No thanks, I’ve been really busy.”

“You still have to eat, no matter how busy you are.”

“West District’s too far. The round trip would waste too much time”

“Fair enough,” Sean said after a pause. Then he added, “What about this weekend? A friend of mine just opened a hot spring resort in Clearwater Springs. Want to go check it out?”

Charlotte’s tone was flat. “I’m going to Harbor City this weekend to meet with a client.”

“Got it.”

Sam came down shortly after, carrying the signed and stamped documents. He handed them to Charlotte with an apologetic smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Riley. Mr. Cruz had something come up and it took a little longer.”

Upstairs, Miles sneezed.

In reality, Miles had signed and stamped the documents almost immediately.

Sam, on the other hand, had intentionally dragged his feet–killing time sipping tea and scrolling through his phone in the office upstairs.

After years of working by Sean’s side, Sam knew exactly what was going on.

Every extra minute he delayed was one more minute the boss got to spend alone with Miss Riley.

No way was he going to interrupt that voluntarily. He wasn’t stupid

It wasn’t until Sean called to check in that he finally picked up the le and casually made his way downstairs.

Charlotte took the documents and flipped through them. Everything looked good. She gave a small nod. “Looks fine. I’ll head

out now.”

“I’ll walk you out,” Sean offered.

“No need. Petra’s still waiting in the car,” Charlotte said firmly.

“Alright.”

Charlotte turned and left.

Sean stood there, watching her until she disappeared from sight.

Mandy, who had quietly taken in the whole exchange, shook her head and let out a soft tsk–tsk.
