Chapter 525:

She had rallied a group of loyal employees around her while marginalizing her detractors.

Now, she had firmly taken control at Howe Group, becoming its de facto leader.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The sudden sound interrupted Aliza’s thoughts.

“Come in,” she said calmly.

The door opened, and an employee entered.

“Miss Perry, here’s the coffee you requested,” said the employee respectfully.

“Thank you; just leave it there,” Aliza directed him.

After the employee placed the coffee on the desk and left, Aliza took a sip, smiling in satisfaction.

She savored the feeling of complete control, relishing her newfound authority. She felt a surge of pride, finally shedding the label of “Mr. Howe’s secretary” to embrace her true role as a leading figure in the company.

She even allowed herself to daydream about someday being known as “Mrs. Howe.”

“Good morning, everyone.” Aliza stood up and addressed the employees outside her office. “I’ve brought coffee for everyone today. I hope you all enjoy it.”

Her announcement was met with a burst of enthusiastic applause from the staff.

“Thank you, Miss Perry!”

“Miss Perry, you’re amazing!”

“Thank you so much, Miss Perry.”

“I don’t know how to express my gratitude…”

The employees shared their thanks, their faces glowing with excitement and appreciation.

They were surprised to learn that the former secretary to Mr. Howe was actually a member of the Perry family and likely the future wife of Howe Group’s CEO.

“You’re welcome. Thank you all for your hard work,” Aliza responded with a smile. “From now on, we’re one family. I hope we can all work together to make Howe Group even better.”

“We will!” the employees replied in unison, their voices strong and spirited.

Aliza nodded, pleased with their reaction.

She felt confident that she had gained the employees’ support.

“Miss Perry, you’re incredible!” an employee exclaimed. “You’ve transformed the company atmosphere since your arrival. I admire you so much.”

“Exactly, Miss Perry, you’re our role model!” another added.

“I agree…”

Amid the praise, Aliza offered a subtle smile, choosing to remain silent. Suddenly, the office door burst open.

Alex entered with a stern look.

“Alex? What… Why are you here?” Aliza’s smile faltered, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

She hadn’t anticipated Alex’s sudden appearance.

“Good morning, Mr. Howe.”

“Hello, Mr. Howe.”

The employees greeted Alex with surprise and confusion.

“What are you doing here, Aliza?” Alex’s tone was icy and charged with anger.

Aliza faltered under Alex’s intense gaze, stammering, “I’m here for work, of course…”

“For work?” Alex said with a sneer.

Words failed Aliza as Alex’s derision washed over her, her complexion turning from pale to flushed.
