Chapter 27 - I am the proof
Mia felt a wave of excitement rushing through her veins. This arrangement aggrieved Joanna, just as Rene predicted after the suggestion, due to her father’s condition.
"You seem surprised, or are you afraid you won’t be able to meet my demands?" She taunted, Joanna perceived that Mia was there to frustrate her efforts, and this was something she had to do herself.
"I already know what to do, so I don’t need you on my tail," she calmly retorted. It would be foolish of her to expose her business dealings to the likes of Mia. Having learned the hard way, she was not going to give in to foolish people.
But Mia was not planning to give up either. If she could get information on Joanna’s top clients, then it would be easy for her to acquaint herself with them after getting rid of Joanna.
"How do we know you won’t try to lure customers away from us? I have to be with you everywhere."
Joanna scoffed, not hiding her annoyance at Mia’s hypocrisy. "Mia, you must have forgotten the price attached to my winning. I don’t just get back my shares but also become the CEO."
She was not hesitant about it because she was among trusted colleagues, but Mia did not want to go against her plans.
There was no plan B anyway, making this her only means of breakthrough. "That is why I should be here, to make sure you don’t cheat or use other unscrupulous means."
"Like what?" Joanna asked sarcastically, glaring at Mia like an insect. It was just a matter of time, and Cole would pay for all he did, to her mother.
Any revenge against Cole would directly affect his wife and spoiled daughter. With her hands folded to her chest, Mia smiled evilly, wondering if Alexander would continue to spoil his wife after finding out a few things.
"My Troy mentioned how you tried to seduce him."
