My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Her True Colors 

Athena raised her gaze and locked eyes with Ruby. She 

couldn’t help but notice that Ruby resembled Freya, even 

more than herself. 

“I will,” Athena nodded in agreement. 

“Thank you, Athena. I’ll put in my best effort to learn quickly!” Ruby’s voice dripped with sweetness. 

“You’re welcome,” she replied politely, as she always did. Byron 

couldn’t detect any signs of displeasure or jealousy from her. 

“She doesn’t care because she’s not jealous…” These words 

echoed in Byron’s mind, irritating him. 

“I need coffee,” he grumbled, storming into his office. 

Later, in the break room, Ruby and Athena were finally alone… 

“Miss Holland, Mr. Crawford is quite particular about his 

coffee’s taste, so-” 

“Athena, I suggest you avoid being around Byron in the future. Whenever he sees you, it puts him in a bad mood. He is my man now, and I don’t want him to be unhappy,” Ruby 

www 

Interrupted, crossing her rms and staring at Athena with 

arrogance, as if she were Byron’s girlfriend, not his secretary. 

“Miss Holland, if you want me to leave quickly, you might want to stop talking and focus on learning,” Athena calmly responded, grinding the coffee beans. 

Ruby had said those words to provoke Athena, hoping to 

trigger her anger and make Byron hate her even more. But Athena didn’t take her words to heart at all. Ruby gnashed her 

teeth in frustration. 

The truth was, Ruby was sent to Byron’s side several months 

ago. 

Athena blocked Ruby’s path, capturing his attention first. She 

believed Athena must have used some underhanded tactics 

to gain his favor, even though Ruby resembled his love Freya 

more. 

So far, Byron hadn’t shown any interest in Ruby whatsoever. 

Aside from occasionally zoning out while staring at her, he 

rarely smiled. 

She glared at Athena with resentment. 

“You’re just a loser who got dumped by Byron. What are you so proud of?!” Ruby sneered. 

her inner thoughts. “Today is our first meeting, right? Why do you hate me so much?” 

Ruby was caught off guard and instinctively retorted, “I-I 

don’t!” 

“Is it because you haven’t slept with Byron yet?” Athena 

teased. 

“D-Don’t be ridiculous!” Ruby was clearly frustrated at being 

exposed. 

“On the desk in the secretary’s room, there are two sets of notes,” Athena plainly explained. “One is Byron’s secretary handbook, and the other is his lover’s handbook, which 

contains all his preferences.” 

“What do you mean?” Suspicion was evident in her voice. She couldn’t believe Athena was being so helpful. 

“I’m just handing over my work. What do you think I mean?” Athena added with a smile. “Miss Holland, I don’t care 

about Byron as much as you think. It’s just a job. I’ve always been professional when it comes to work, and I’ll teach you everything I know. But how much you can learn and whether 

you can please Byron… that’s up to you.” 

er skeptically. 

She still couldn’t fully trust Athena. 

After a moment, Ruby finally said, “You better do as you say!” 

Athena brewed the coffee, pushed it towards Ruby, and 

flashed a gentle smile. ” Since you’ve been talkin’ so much, I’ll 

give you a heads up too. I’ll let it go this time. Just go on and do whatever pleases Byron, and steer clear of me. Don’t mess 

with me, or I can’t promise what might go down.” 

Under her piercing gaze, Ruby felt a shiver run down her 

spine. 

She never expected Athena to fire back, considering everyone always said she was forgiving and non-confrontational. 

But right now, she seemed completely different. 

Just then, there was a knock on the door. 

“Athena, the head of the sales team 1 is looking for you!” 

“Coming!” Athena lightly tapped the table and said, “Why are you still standing there? Take the coffee to Mr. Crawford.” 

With that, Athena left the break room. 

‘Athena! 

As soon as she left, the director of the sales department 

rushed in. 

“No wonder you screwed up so badly. Looks like you’re on the verge of quitting! If we hadn’t scheduled a meeting to go over the plan ahead of time, you would’ve bailed ages ago! I bet you took some cash from our rivals and deliberately sabotaged our agreement so we would lose this partnership!” 

Eric Lane, the sales department director and leader of the first 

team, was known for being blunt and hot-tempered. He had 

been working closely with Athena in the past few days. 

“Mr. Lane, can you please calm down? What’s going on?” 

Athena asked. 

“The contract data and the list from Maxwell Electronics were 

provided by you, right?” Eric replied angrily. 

“Yes,” she nodded. “I carefully checked all the data and 

handed them over to your sales department after making 

sure there were no issues.” 

“Nonsense!” Eric shouted. 

This order was crucial for his team. Losing this order meant losing out on significant commissions, and the company’s 

resource priority for the next quarter would be given to other 

teams! 

“Take a look at your massive screw-up! This order is worth billions. Do you even have a clue about the blood, sweat, and 

tears our team’s poured into this?”
