Chapter 53
Elijah composed himself and ordered, “The transfer of ownership for the mansion needs to be prepared by today. Contact the lawyer and have Sheena come over to sign it.”
“Yes, Mr. Freeman. I’ll go remind them immediately.”
Angle Group.
Since Sue was jailed, Sheena was short of an assistant. With the focus now on planning the reality show, she decided to select a replacement from among the talent agents and assistants. In her small office, six female employees stood in two rows. The first row consisted mostly of good–looking women who did not stand properly, fidgeting and posing deliberately.
Sheena glanced at them briefly, not impressed by the behavior. Then, she surveyed everyone in the room and was drawn to the girl standing far back on the second to last row.
“You, come to the front.”
The girl was surprised and nervously took a couple of steps forward. “Hello, Ms. Sheena. I’m Wendy Stevens.”
Sheena found her corresponding information: A newcomer from a rural and humble background.
Wendy was exactly what she was looking for.
“Alright, you’ll be working as my assistant.”
Wendy was taken aback, but other employees seemed a bit displeased.
“Ms. Sheena, she’s only been here for a month and is still on probation. Isn’t this against the rules?”
Sheena glanced at them calmly and said, “I am the rule.”
Her words left everyone speechless, and those who were not chosen could only leave in
annoyance.
Wendy was excited and kept bowing to express her gratitude. “Thank you, Ms. Sheena, for giving me this opportunity. I’ll do my best to excel in every task you assign me. I promise.”
‘Alright, I get it, but prove it to me with your actions instead.” Sheena gave Wendy an affirming look and handed over a stack of documents. “Familiarize yourself with these as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Ms. Sheena.”
Wendy left with the documents. As soon as she was gone, Sheena spun her office chair to face the window, looking at the scenery outside. She rubbed her shoulders, feeling weary.
Angle Group was not exactly a hugely famous entertainment company in Farlem, and its previous success was mostly thanks to the benefits of Howard’s association.
However, Sheena aimed to achieve a five percent profit this year, meaning she needed to innovate and make bold moves. It was risky, but running away from a challenge was not in her character.
Just as she was lost in thought, Wendy knocked on the door again.
“Ms. Sheena, you had a call earlier. It was from Mr. Walker, the lawyer. He said he needed you to go and sign the property transfer document for a house.”
Sheena was puzzled. “What house?”
“They said it’s a small mansion called Ocean Avenue, in Costa Kelna’s bay area.”
Was that the house she and Elijah had initially chosen for their marriage?
They have been divorced for some time now, so why would he suddenly want to transfer that property to her?
Was it compensation or guilt?
She found it amusing.
“Alright, I’ll head over after work.”
Sheena did not refuse. Even though she was wealthy, it would not make sense to turn down an offer that came to her doorstep. Besides, keeping the house might come in handy in the future.
At a cafe, Jennifer was wearing sunglasses and walked to a table where two roses were placed, as per the arrangement.
Seeing the elegant woman seated across from her, she removed her sunglasses and forced a smile. “How may I help you, Ms. Upton?”
Katie observed Jennifer carefully.
