She actually thought of using Theo’s power to silence the entire company and stop them from talking about the past. Was she not worried that this would be exposed one day regardless of her measures?
I had not completely sorted my thoughts out when Keith said something else that chilled my heart again.
"Nicky has hired a new assistant for President Grant."
My eyes widened in an instant. It felt like my head had suffered a heavy blow. It was like a thunderclap had left my head buzzing.
How could she have possibly arranged everything in such a short period of time if she had not started her preparations a long time ago?
Compared to Nicky's schemes, I was too naive.
"So now you’re..." I did not continue. I could not get out what I wanted to say next.
Keith uttered a soft ‘yes’ and then a heavy sigh came from the receiver. "It's okay, Madam."
Hearing his helplessness, my hands tightened into fists firmly as I bit my lower lip. "I’ve decided to move back into the villa. I’ve also decided to go back and work in the company."
Hearing this, Keith was obviously a little surprised. He paused for a while before telling me, "Nicky has replaced some of the important positions in the company with her own people, so the company is currently in her favor. You have to be careful if you’re going back to the company, Madam."
No wonder that unreasonable request she made did not make any waves.
"Alright, I understand. I'll be careful."
Hanging up the call, I thought about the company’s situation that Keith had just described to me
Not only would no one help me when I returned to the office, but I would also be excluded. I had to figure out how to deal with it.
I was doomed not to sleep tonight.
