    Chapter 2056


    Ste, fully immersed in her role, had neglected to eat properly. She sat at her desk snacking on treats


    Keegan had packed for her while going through documents Aubrey had given her on Caline''s different


    departments.


    Since rebranding from Enchanted to Caline, thepany had been growing steadily. Darcie had


    orchestrated a big reshuffle among the core team members, and those who remained were probably


    her closest allies. Ste understood that to infiltrate their circle, she and Trevor had to position their


    own people within thepany.


    "Is this new girl we''re bringing in gonna be reliable? She''s so young, born in 2002," Ste thought to


    herself.


    Her phone buzzed, pulling her out of her thoughts. It was Felicity, asking about Ste''s first day at work.


    Ste grabbed her phone, snapped a quick picture of her office, and sent it to Felicity, saying, "What do


    you think? Pretty big, huh?"


    Felicity replied in amazement, "Wow, that''s massive! Need any help? Hire me!"


    Ste chuckled and replied: [Vermont offered you five grand a month to be his assistant, and you


    refused. You think you''d like my sry?]


    Felicity typed: [It''s different. Earning his money is like moving it from one pocket to the other. Earning


    yours is real profit. The amount doesn''t matter. It''s about sharing the wealth and facing difficulties


    together.]


    Ste was lost for words. She responded: [You picked up bad habits fast. Look at you now, you


    sounded just like that miser Vermont.]


    Felicityughed heartily and asked: [So, first day in, did the motherdaughter duo give you a hard time?]


    Ste replied: [I sent Darcie away, and as for Jaylene, she poses no threat.]


    Felicity inquired: [Where did you send her?]


    Ste provided a brief exnation. Felicity was astounded and typed: [


    You''re really something, using your dad as a tool. Doesn''t his innocence matter?]


    Ste responded: [Actually, it''s good for my dad to go out with her. She definitely won''t be at ease with


    Caline''s daily operations in her absence. I don''t believe she can remain thatposed. We need her to


    slip up in front of my dad. Once his trust in her wavers, it''ll be easier to dismantle her defenses step by


    step.]


    Felicity pondered and asked: [Do you think she married your father for his personality or money?]


    Ste replied: [Hard to say. Definitely for the money, but as for liking him as a person, I''m not sure.]


    In Ste''s opinion, Darcie was really good at hiding how she felt. Ste couldn’t figure out if Darcie


    genuinely cared about Wenham, but it seemed like she did, taking care of every little thing for him,


    even his blood pressure meds.


    The doctor overseeing Wenham''s health credited Darcie for maintaining his diet and routine, which,


    aside from hereditary hypertension, kept him healthier than his peers. This indicated Darcie''s


    dedication.


    Ste even believed that if it were not for her unexpected return, Darcie might have genuinely nned


    to spend her life with Wenham. But Ste''s return messed that up.


    Ste asked: [Let''s not dwell on that. How about you? Didn''t you say someone bought your script


    recently? How''s that going?]


    Felicity replied: [It''s okay, I guess. Whether it''ll be adapted, I don''t know, but I did make some money.]


    Ste asked: [How much?]


    Felicity sighed and replied: [Twenty grand before tax. I used to think selling a script for a hundred

    thousand was the norm. Now I realize only your husband is that generous. He was willing to pay a


    hundred thousand for the scripts I wrote back then.]
