Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 47: After ending the call, Nyla's frustration erupted as she punched the air, exclaiming, "Using his authority for petty squabbles! Such a small man, Ethan!" "Miss Higgins, may I assist you with anything else?" Keyla Moran, the secretary, conducted herself with utmost professionalism, displaying neither curiosity nor attempts to ingratiate herself with Callie, the new deputy director. Aware of Callie's prestigious background, Keyla remained perfectly neutral.

Content with her workspace, Callie admired the efficiency at Crestwave Group, though she was less thrilled about her office's distance from Ethan's. While Ethan's office was located on the 27th floor, Callie's was positioned on the 9th floor within the Creative Design Department. "I appreciate your guidance today, Keyla," Callie said, her demeanor soft yet playful, hinting at a privileged upbringing. As they talked, Callie instinctively took Keyla's arm. Keyla's brow creased slightly as she responded courteously, "I'm here to assist, as required.

Please let me know if there's anything unsatisfactory." Callie, sensing Keyla's professional distance, chose not to press further. "Actually, everything is quite satisfactory. However, would you mind going upstairs with me later?" Callie inquired, needing assistance to access the elevator to Ethan's office, which required a special card she did not yet possess. "Mr. Brooks is occupied with a meeting at the moment. Should there be any pressing issues, I can relay them to him later," Keyla said matter-of-factly.

Callie let go of Keyla's arm, her impatience briefly visible despite her composed smile. "Keyla, you're certainly aware of my relationship with Ethan. Some matters are just too sensitive to discuss through intermediaries." Keyla paused, then nodded understandingly.

"Absolutely, she's a Higgins, after all. That's a level of stature we'll probably never see ourselves." "Is it true that she's going to marry the CEO?

Tsk, there goes our chance. I'm really disappointed." "You must be joking. Look at their social status compared to ours. The Higgins and Brooks families have been allies for generations. It's believed that the CEO and Miss Higgins have been close since their youth, likely promised to each other from the start." "Wasn't there some gossip about the CEO favoring someone else?" "Shh, careful with your words if you value your job. Loose lips could get you fired." Through a discreet corridor, Keyla escorted Callie to an exclusive elevator.

As the doors sealed, Callie caught the envious stares of onlookers, feeding her covert pride. Who could dispute her right to be Mrs. Brooks? Upon their exit, they encountered Ethan, fresh from a conference. Several senior executives recognized Callie and initiated a conversation. . . .
