Chapter 51
\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 51<\/p>\n
The CEO\u2019s private elevator doors slid open, and Dora stepped out, with her assistant Jason Muller following close behind<\/p>\n
The young receptionist, catching sight of Dora, smirked at Cherise, thinking to herself, Ms. Xenakis is also a woman, and she must hate gold\u2013digging social climbers like you. You\u2019re doomed. She put on a sycophantic grin, ready to greet Dora<\/p>\n
But Dora bypassed her, making a beeline for Cherise instead \u201cCherise, why didn\u2019t you give me a call or just come on up Her voice was warm, like they were old friends.<\/p>\n
The receptionist\u2019s mind raced, and her face drained of color as she overheard this.<\/p>\n
Cherise shot her a glance, a smirk playing on her lips. \u201cThis lady here said I didn\u2019t have an appointment and tried to stop me, claiming I was here to land a rich guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Dora\u2019s anger flared as she turned to the young receptionist, the weight of her authority palpable after years in the G suite. \u201cWho do you think you are, passing judgment on her? You\u2019re fired. I don\u2019t want you darkening GlobalVision Group\u2019s door again<\/p>\n
The young receptionist\u2019s legs buckled, and she collapsed onto the floor.<\/p>\n
Dora told her assistant, Jason, \u201cSort this out. Then she and Cherise headed upstairs.<\/p>\n
As she passed. Cherise advised Jason, \u201cTell HR to be more selective in the future when hiring<\/p>\n
Jason, who had seen Cherise with Dora privately and knew the score, nodded respectfully and said, \u201cYes, understood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once Cherise and Dora were out of sight, the young receptionist, realizing how Jason, the CEO\u2019s assistant, had treated Cherise with such deference, was petrified.<\/p>\n
She crawled to Jason\u2019s side, pleading, \u201cJason, please don\u2019t make me leave. I need this job. I was blind. I was wrong. I won\u2019t do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stone\u2013faced and standing tall, Jason said, \u201cMs. Leach is someone even Ms. Xenakis wouldn\u2019t dream of offending, and she cares a lot about her. You, a mere receptionist, dared to speak ill of her. It\u2019s too late. Security, escort her out!\u201d<\/p>\n
And with that, the farce came to an end. The remaining receptionists breathed a sigh of relief, grateful they hadn\u2019t acted out and resolved to learn from this.<\/p>\n
They were also curious about Cherise\u2019s identity, wondering what made her so commanding in the eyes of Dora and Jason.<\/p>\n
Cherise and Dora rode the elevator to the 36th floor of the Global Vision Group building, where two young female assistants greeted them as the doors opened..<\/p>\n
\u201cGet us two coffees. One with lots of milk and sugar, Dora instructed before leading Cherise into the CEO\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got it,\u201d Vivian Hinton, one of the assistants, responded<\/p>\n
The other, slightly plump assistant, Laura Poole, had been staring at Cherise since the elevator opened.<\/p>\n
Vivian, noticing Laura\u2019s daze, called out to her. \u201cLaura, what\u2019s with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Laura let out a son sigh. \u201cWe\u2019re both women, but she\u2019s stunning, and I\u2026 I feel like I was just sent by heaven to fill the ranks. Don\u2019t stop \u03a0\u0397<\/p>\n
I\u2019m canceling that steak meal I ordered\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivian nodded in agreement. \u201cShe\u2019s breathtaking. I\u2019m a woman, and even I\u2019m smitten. Come on. Let\u2019s get the coffee ready. We\u2019re running out of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 51<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right, Laura said, mapping back to reality.<\/p>\n
Inside the CEO\u2019s office, Laura brought in the two coffees, ser then down, and quietly exited.<\/p>\n
Cherise stood in front of the floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling window, with her arms crossed, gazing out at the bustling GlobalVision Group industrial park.<\/p>\n
Dora looked at Cherise\u2019s elegant back and asked, \u201cSo, have you ever thought about coming back to manage the business you built?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise turned and replied. \u201cYou know I\u2019m not into this sort of thing<\/p>\n
Dora nodded and said, \u201cUnderstood.\u201d She paused and then continued, \u201cWhat about architectural design? Dozens of real estate leaders have approached me now, including the Leach family and Chivers Group.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise raised an eyebrow and asked, \u201cOh?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, a well\u2013designed building can make a big difference, and good design often requires a brilliant designer. They\u2019re desperate to get to you through me,\u201d Dora explained earnestly.<\/p>\n
Cherise understood and said indifferently, \u201cWe\u2019ll see. Right now, I just want to recover the voice message from my mother before she passed. Have we contacted King yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora shook her head, and Cherise pursed her lips slightly and said, \u201cAdd a condition: for 30 million, we\u2019ll give them Duskson\u2019s contact information.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alright, Dora agreed, picking up her phone to make the arrangements. \u201cOkay, it\u2019s done. Now, Ms, Leach, shall we go? It\u2019s my honor to accompany you when you select your new car!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise couldn\u2019t help but smile and said, \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
