The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 980

Lisbeth turned her face the shade of a ghost, pale as a sheet of paper.

A touch of agony rose unbidden in her eyes.

She hastily ducked her head, sipping her coconut water, trying to cover the tidal emotions threatening to spill over.

Aurelia, with a keen eye, noticed the shift in her demeanor.

Her feelings for Raines must be real. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a heartbroken response.

She was Raines' personal assistant and probably knew him as well as anyone could, second only to his mother. If Raines were an imposter, Lisbeth would've noticed... wouldn't she?

“Or am I just being paranoid, jumping at shadows?” Aurelia thought.

Sheryl patted Lisbeth's shoulder, "Hey, don't take it to heart. The future's always changing. It's not something you can predict with a few cards."

"You're right, Sheryl," Aurelia nodded in agreement, trying to console her, "Who knows? Tomorrow the cards might show a complete turnaround."

Beverley pulled a face. Tarot readings had a knack for coming true, and she'd seen it happen with Aurelia.

But Lisbeth's reading was just too freaky. All bad cards without a single good omen. It was like a sign of life-altering doom.

She figured it was better to keep her mouth shut. No point in freaking Lisbeth out even more.

Lisbeth forced a smile, the corners of her mouth tight, "I've never believed in fortune-telling or anything. It's all just a game."

Sheryl chuckled, "Exactly, it's all in good fun. Something to pass the time, but don't let it mess with your head."

Aurelia took a casual sip of her coconut water and asked nonchalantly, "How long have you and Raines known each other, Lisbeth?"

"About four years," Lisbeth murmured, "I got the job after his last assistant left."
