The driver up front and this Mr. Larios dude are both her subordinates.
Sheila rolled her eyes at Ellinor again, not feeling too happy about the situation. If it weren't for the time when Ellinor helped Ms. Gipson find her lost cell phone, she wouldn't be stuck dragging her less-than-classy sister along to Crescent Society.
Ellinor just wasn't up to snuff!
Soon enough, the car pulled up in front of the Crescent Society building downtown.
Chase got out of the car, then went around to Ellinor's side, bent down, and opened the door, "Ms. Mendoza, after you."
Ellinor got out of the car, expressionless, like it was just another day.
Sheila was ticked off by this, but she figured Mr. Larios just randomly opened Ellinor's door, not because he was favoring her or anything.
She couldn't stand the thought of being treated worse than Ellinor, so she didn't get out on her side and instead moved over to Ellinor's side, but before she could even get out, Chase casually closed the door.
So she had to open the door herself and get out.
Chase led them into the building, into the elevator, and then to the Crescent Society CEO’s office.
Having opened the door to the CEO’s office, Chase casually knocked twice, saying lightly, “Ms. Gipson, the two Ms. Mendozas you were expecting are here.”
In the office, a woman in a sleek suit sat behind a desk, looking down at some papers.
The woman’s hair was medium-length and curly, simply tied in a low ponytail; a lock of hair was casually tucked behind her ear. She wore simple and elegant gold-rimmed glasses that gave off a relaxed yet mature businesswoman vibe.
Having finished his errand, Chase nonchalantly settled down on the sofa.
Ida looked up from her papers, her gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a faint light. Her gaze fell directly on Ellinor.
Sheila saw this and stepped forward, trying to deliberately block Ellinor. She smiled and said, "Hello, Ms. Gipson, I'm Sheila. Nice to meet you!"
