“Have you reached a decision, Mrs.
Simmons?” N inquired.
Rather than responding directly, Violeta diverted the conversation.
“Aren’t you a friend of Lucinda’s, Miss Diaz? Why the reluctance to involve her in Simmons Group’s management?”
N didn’t mince words.
“Honestly, Lucinda and I aren’t close.
Moreover, as the Sales Director at AN Group, ourpanies are vying for market shares.
Since Lucinda isn’t keen on cooperating, I’ve had to explore other avenues to seal the deal.
”
Upon hearing N’s exnation, Violeta nodded contemtively.
“That makes sense.
Miss Diaz, if that’s the case, I’ll speak to Graham about it when the time is right.
”
Hearing what Violeta said, N’s reaction wasn’t as expected.
She seemed displeased and somewhat suspicious.
“I heard you and Lucinda are quite close.
Are you nning to teach her a lesson this time? Is it for real? Or is it just a jest, Mrs.
Simmons?”
Violeta paused abruptly, taken aback by N’s words.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
Observing Violeta’s reaction, N let out
a light chuckle, her smile disarmingly charming.
“I was only teasing, Mrs.
Simmons.
No need to fret.
”
Gracefully discarding the tissue, Violeta spoke calmly.
“I have always regarded Lucinda as part of the family, but she directed her frustration towards Graham over the Simmons family’s illegitimate daughter.
I’ve pleaded with her countless times, but she continues to ignore my appeals.
”
The mention of past events brought forth a fresh wave of tears from Violeta.
Hastily, N offered her a tissue and gently patted her back.
With a heavy sigh, Violeta continued, “It’s intolerable.
The issues caused by the Simmons family’s illegitimate daughter have been resolved for quite some time.
Yet, Lucinda refuses to release her grip on Graham, subjecting him to this torment.
I’m truly disheartened by her actions.
”
At the mention of Graham, a flicker of sympathy crossed N’s eyes.
“Well, do your best to persuade Mr.
Simmons.
If he’s on board, we’ll help him reim his status swiftly.
After all, Mr.
Simmons was once a big shot in Cadiered.
”
Violeta nodded.
“Agreed.
Even if Graham doesn’t consent, I can’t bear to see him suffer like this any Longer.
”
With that, they seemed to have reached an agreement on the matter.
After conveying her sentiments to Violeta, N retired to her room.
Watching her depart, Violeta couldn’t shake a sense of unease.
N possessed a level of sophistication beyond her own perception.
She maintained a discreet silence regarding Valerie and attributed her animosity towards Lucinda to their professional rivalry.
In essence, navigating interactions with someone as astute as N proved to be quite challenging.
An hourter, Violeta concocted an excuse to step out and promptly contacted Lucinda.
She divulged every detail, including N’s scheme and their conversation.
“Lucinda, I fear N isn’t one to underestimate.
She’s cunning.
Based on her words, it seems Valerie isn’t involved.
