Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 536

When Rachel saw Rhett come out, her worry that Hera might leave immediately vanished. Her job was to wait for Hera and bring her to Rhett. If Hera had left, it would have been on her. But now that Rhett had come out and seen Hera, her job was done. Whether Hera stayed or left was no longer her concern.

In fact, Rachel secretly hoped that Hera would leave. She didn't think Hera deserved the high salary the Killian Corporation was offering.

With that thought, Rachel quickly said, "Mr. Rhett, sorry to keep you waiting. Ms. Youngworth just arrived."

She emphasized Hera's late arrival.

Irritation crossed Rhett's eyes. He had been waiting and had come out to see what was going on. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have bothered to meet them. But Hera was recommended by Chad.

"Come inside. Let's talk," he said with a stern expression.

"Your secretary has declined our collaboration on your behalf, Mr. Rhett. I don't think there's anything left to discuss," Hera replied calmly.

Rhett glanced at Rachel. He had promoted her not just for her competence but also because she knew how to read the room and handle situations.

He had to maintain a certain image as the CEO of Killian Corporation, so there were things he couldn't personally do and had to delegate to his secretary. Rachel usually understood his intentions and carried out tasks to his liking.

So even though he was aware she had been making things difficult for Hera, he turned a blind eye to it.

But Hera made it clear that she wasn't going to let the matter slide.

"Ms. Youngworth, please don't joke around. I'm just a secretary. How could I possibly make decisions for the CEO? Don't slander me!" Rachel quickly defended herself.
