    Chapter 63 Threats


    "Of course, if you don''t know how to behave, don''t me me!" Holly dered with a flick of her


    nails. "I couldn''t care less if this little studio goes bankrupt!"


    The threat hung heavily in the air, and Ranita felt the weight of the situation.


    "Miss Stuart, your words are harsh! Even though you''re a new shareholder, you should only be on


    equal footing with Ranita. Taking her office and demanding her to kneel? Who do you think you


    are?"


    "I''m addressing Ranita, and I see no reason for your interruption," Holly replied coldly, casting a


    frigid gaze at Olivia. "You''re fired!"


    "I... I''m Ranita''s assistant, not yours. You have no authority to fire me!" Olivia retorted.


    Olivia had been by Ranita''s side for a long time and was exceptionally skilled at her job. Ranita,


    naturally, came to her defense. "Holly, Olivia is my personal hire, and I pay her sry. You have no


    right to fire her!"


    Holly was taken aback momentarily but quickly regained herposure. "Fine! Are your people off-


    limits, then?"


    Ranita felt a rising sense of dread. Holly''s deliberate provocations filled her with anxiety. The


    ongoing project was already an exhausting ordeal, and with daily studio troubles, Ranita felt


    overwhelmed.

    After venting her frustrations, Holly departed triumphantly, leaving a tense atmosphere behind.


    "Oh, and by the way..." Holly paused as she reached the door, turning back toward Ranita with an


    air of arrogance. "Do you know what my brother is doing now?"


    "He''s helping Shannon choose a dress! Tomorrow night at Bouldend Mansion, there''s a wee


    party for Shannon, and my brother truly cares for her."


    Once Holly left, a heavy silence settled over the studio. Olivia poured a ss of water for Ranita


    and finally inquired, "Ranita, what should we do now?"


    Taking a moment topose herself, Ranita replied, "Rosie and Davion mentioned in our group


    chat that they''ve received termination notices." Rosie Langley and Davion ray served as


    assistants to Mia and Carl, respectively.


    "They''ve gone too far! How could they do this..." Olivia sympathized with Ranita, but there was


    nothing left to say or do at this point.


    Ranita was equally frustrated. "You go organize the documents and grab me some lunch."


    "You haven''t eaten yet, and it''s already nearly two o''clock!" Olivia expressed concern as she


    observed Ranita''s pale appearance. "I''ll fetch your lunch right away, and if you''re hungry, I have


    some snacks in my drawer."


    Once Olivia left, the office was left empty. Ranita slumped onto the sofa, utterly drained. A throbbing


    headache tormented her, and waves of nausea swept over her. She couldn''t help but spend a few


    minutes leaning over the sink, heaving from morning sickness, before eventually resting her head


    on her desk.


    "At a time like this, can''t you behave?" Ranita spoke to herself, rubbing her stomach gently. The


    baby, as inconvenient as its timing was, had decided to make its entrance.


    "Knock, knock!" The sound of someone rapping on the door was followed by Dn''sughter. "Who


    were you telling to be good?"


    "Dn? What are you doing here?"


    "Olivia messaged me saying there was trouble at work... Is everything okay?"


    There was trouble indeed, but Ranita struggled to exin it all. She slumped over her desk,


    revealing half of her face, which retained its enchanting beauty. Yet, a hint of sadness shaded her


    eyes, lending them a gentle and vulnerable quality, akin to a kitten''s.
