Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 252 Before Trey even arrived at the office, the company group chat had already exploded. A top-tier project suddenly blew up with a massive scandal. Several government departments had even stepped in to investigate. If the issue couldn't be resolved, the cooperation with the Morrison Group would be forced to stop. That afternoon, inside the Olson Group's Toy Center store in the central district, everyone was busy setting up a private room. Someone had lavishly booked the entire store to host a birthday party in a VIP suite.

The themed room was filled with premium liquor and an extravagant spread of food. "Winnie, today's guests are not ordinary people. You'd better serve them properly. If you do well, the performance credit is yours. If you don't... you'll be embarrassing our family. Dad will be sure to punish you." As Winnie was arranging plush toys, Veronica's voice drifted into her ears. Winnie stood there in a work uniform. There was no trace left of an Olson family heiress-she looked exactly like an ordinary store manager.

As if she hadn't heard a word, Winnie finished what she was doing and brushed past Veronica, treating her like thin air. Veronica curled her lips into a cold smile. She had long grown used to Winnie's attitude. Besides, there was a much bigger show to watch today. She had no intention of arguing with her now. Half an hour later, the entire staff lined up neatly at the entrance to welcome the guests. Standing at the very front, Winnie spotted the arrivals at a glance. Her eyes paused for a beat. The color drained from her face, and the body she bent forward suddenly stiffened.

Michael clearly hadn't expected to see Winnie here either. A slender arm was looped through his. The woman beside him was delicate and beautiful, elegant in demeanor, a soft smile on her lips as she gazed tenderly at Michael's profile. "Michael, you're here. Please come in," Veronica's voice floated in at just the right moment, breaking the awkward silence. "The private room is already prepared, and all your friends have arrived." She stepped out from among the staff, warmly guiding Michael and the woman beside him inside.

Dressed in a light pink designer skirt suit, Veronica looked every inch a pampered socialite, her appearance forming a stark contrast to Winnie. Michael froze for a moment. His lips parted slightly, his puzzled gaze lingering on Winnie. But she didn't look at him, keeping her head lowered. Winnie was, after all, the Olson family's heiress. Why was she working at a store? And in a uniform, no less? 1/2 Chaplex 262 +25 Bonus "Oh, you must be Veronica, the Olson family's heiress?" Before Michael could recover, the woman beside him spoke with a smile. "Yes.

And you must be Lindsay, Michael's fiancée, right?" Veronica replied lightly. "I've heard my father mention you. Our families even had dinner together before." Her words sounded casual-almost careless-yet every syllable was deliberate. Winnie's brow twitched. Despite herself, her peripheral vision flicked toward the woman at Michael's side. She had heard about it. Michael had been going on blind dates recently. She didn't want to know anything about Michael anymore, not even a little. Yet, Veronica never let her off, always finding ways to shove news about him in her face. "Really?

Now that you mention it, I do vaguely remember!" Lindsay Starr was in an excellent mood. Taking Veronica's arm, she followed her into the store with an easy smile. Winnie kept her head lowered the entire time. As Michael passed by her side, his steps faltered. "Why are you here?" he asked in a low voice near her ear. "You're the store manager?" His gaze dropped to the name badge on her chest. She was the manager of this store. But even if Winnie wanted to work for the Olson Group, there was no reason for her to be laboring in a store as service staff.
