Chapter 30
At that moment Cora held her phone with both hands.
"Malisa, I am on my way," she said. Her voice was soft but firm. "Give me a little time. I will reach MK Entertainment very, very soon. I will look at the trouble there and fix it."
On the other end, Malisa felt her heart jump with relief.
Immediately a wide smile lit her face. Cora was known for being strict, smart, and brave. If Cora said she would handle something, then it would be handled. Malisa could almost feel the heavy load slip off her shoulders.
"You are wonderful, Cora," Malisa replied. "Thank you."
Inside her office, Malisa paced in tiny circles. She remembered how shocked she had been that a useless fellow like James had ever gotten close to Cora. James had somehow made Cora into hiding her true name, hiding her bright light, all for his own gain. It still felt strange, even wrong. But those dark days were over. Cora was back. Malisa could not stop smiling.
