Under the heiress facade

Chapter 535

Rachel had been waiting under the scorching sun for half an hour when Hera finally arrived and was understandably annoyed.

Ever since she had been promoted to Rhett's secretary, her status had risen. Even Frederick showed her srespect. Yet, Hera

dared to keep her waiting under the sun for half an hour!

"Did you get lost on your way here, Ms. Youngworth? You're quite late," she said sarcastically.

The security guard explained, "Ms. Davis, Ms. Youngworth arrived at 1:50 pm. But there was a delay—"

"And who asked you to speak?" Rachel cut him off.

The security guard immediately shut his mouth.

Hera gave Rachel an indifferent look but said nothing, heading straight toward the courtyard.

Rachel felt even more frustrated when she saw Hera ignoring her and stepped forward to block her path.

Hera stared at Rachel coldly. "What?"

Rachel forced a smile. "You're half an hour late. Mr. Rhett is in another meeting with someone, so you'll have to wait here."

Hera snorted. Rhett had arranged to meet her at his place instead of thepany. Clearly, this meeting was for a private matter.

How amusing. They needed her help, yet they were giving her a hard time.

"Fine, then tell Mr. Rhett | won't be taking on this job," Hera replied coolly and turned to leave.

Rachel was stunned, taken aback by Hera's attitude.

Even if Hera was a renowned healer and a top-notch hacker, her skills would go to waste without someone to collaborate with.

Rhett was offering her a high-paying job. Many people would do anything to work for Killian Corporation, yet Hera was turning the

offer down!

"Are you serious, Ms, Youngworth?" Rachel called out from behind.

But Hera didn't respond and continued to head toward the main gate.

Rachel started to panic.

She had planned to give Hera a hard time, letting her bake under the sun for half an hour before allowing her inside. After all, Rhett

had no appointments this afternoon, so making Hera wait wouldn't have been an issue.

She could even pin the blon Hera since Rhett didn't like her. He might even reward her for her actions.

But who could have predicted that Hera wouldn't play along? Her job would be on the line if her little power play ended up causing

Rhett to lose out on something important.

"Ms. Youngworth, Mr. Rhett has just finished up his business. You can go in now," Rachel said hastily.

Hera acted as if she hadn't heard her.

Rachel only got to where she was today because of her people skills. She quickly realized that Hera was doing this on purpose!

Hera knew full well that Rachel wouldn't dare disallow her from going in.

But even though Rachel knew that Hera was toying with her, there was nothing she could do. She had to swallow her pride and

chase after her. "Ms. Youngworth, please stop. Mr. Rhett is ready to see you now."

Hera quicked a brow. "Isn't he in a meeting?"

Rachel cleared her throat. "Mr. Rhett may have finished up already. Pleasee with me."

"And if | don't?" Hera mocked.

Rachel's face fell. "You..."

"What's going on here? Why are you just standing around?" Just then, Rhett appeared.
