Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 613

Seeing Rachel Ward looking so serious, Theresa grew even more curious.

Just who was this new colleague anyway?

Everyone slowly filtered back to their desks.

A few nosy coworkers immediately scurried over to Rachel Ward's desk to fish for details, with Charles leading the pack.

"Ms. Ward, what's the deal with this new girl?"

Rachel Ward lowered her voice. "Didn't I just tell you? She's got friends in high places. Connect the dots."

Charles flashed a sly smile. "Ms. Ward, you're being a little vague, don't you think? I bet you know more than you're letting on. Come on, considering how well we work together, just tell me. Help a guy out so I don't step on any toes."

Rachel Ward shot Charles a knowing look. "Don't think I don't know exactly what you're scheming. Fine, I'll tell you the truth. From what I've gathered, this new hire has direct ties to the Chairman. So, you know what to do."

Charles was completely shocked. "The Chairman! You don't mean... it's the Chairman's daughter?"

"You catch on quick. During the executive meeting today, I overheard some people talking about the Chairman's daughter starting an internship at our company. It's practically guaranteed to be her! Otherwise, management wouldn't have gone out of their way to warn us."

"Thanks, Ms. Ward. Message received. Dinner's on me this weekend!"

Charles's mind was already racing with plans. The Chairman's daughter—he absolutely had to get on her good side.

He couldn't afford to let a golden opportunity like this slip away.

The office was a hotbed for gossip, and rumors spread faster than wildfire.

The intel Charles got from Rachel Ward circulated through the room in seconds.

Theresa could hear the coworkers behind her whispering to each other.

"Hey, did you hear? The new girl is connected to the Chairman!"

Rachel Ward handed her an employee badge with a warm smile. "Ms. Avery, this is the Sales Department. Your desk will be right over here."

Rachel Ward then looked at the room and cleared her throat. "Ahem, everyone, please pause what you're doing for a moment. Let's give a warm welcome to our newest team member, Lorna Avery!"

All eyes turned to the girl named Lorna. She stood confidently, not showing a hint of nervousness, looking every bit the wealthy socialite she was rumored to be.

A round of enthusiastic applause filled the office.

Theresa studied her closely, but no matter how hard she looked, she didn't recognize her at all. She definitely wasn't part of their extended family!

Could the office rumor mill have gotten it wrong?

Maybe she had nothing to do with her dad at all. Maybe she was just the daughter of some board member or senior executive!

Lorna smiled at the room. "Hello, everyone. I'm Lorna, the new hire. I look forward to working with all of you. Since it's my first day, I went ahead and ordered coffees for the whole office. I hope you don't mind!"
