Chapter 21 The Showdown " So you're the one who kept Ethan from coming to me ? " This wasn't Hannah's first time at Starlight Group . Ethan had brought her here before , and even registered her face in the system . That gave her access to the CEO's private VIP elevator . She and her assistant walked into the lobby , and the receptionist recognized her right away .. The receptionist gave a small frown . " Ms. Hannah , what brings you here today ! " Hannah picked up on the odd tone immediately . She was a big star . Normally , regular folks like this receptionist would be starstruck around her . But today ? Something was off That woman must be bribed the staff already ! Hannah marched over with a cold expression . " Is Mr. Ethan in the building ? " The receptionist blinked . " He should be . " +5 Free Coins Hannah lowered her sunglasses and gave her a look . I'm guessing I'm not the only woman who came to see Mr. Ethan today ! News about the CEO's sister handing out two million in bonuses had already spread like wildfire through the entire company . Sure , lower - level staff wouldn't see much of that money , but hey - free cash is free cash . Everyone was buzzing about it in the group chats . There were vivid retellings of what went down , too . The CEO's sister had snatched his bracelet , called him out for thinking with the wrong head , and taken his seat - while he just stood there and said nothing . That made one thing clear : the sister did not approve of Hannah . Which meant Hannah and the sister were on opposite sides . And let's be honest - between a stranger and the woman who handed out bonuses and wanted the best for the company ? If you worked here , who would you side with ? Exactly . The one and only Sister . Now , a face - off was brewing . Things were about to get messy . And while it was definitely dramatic , it wasn't exactly what the receptionist had hoped to see . She was a woman too - she could tell Hannah was a master manipulator . She was worried the sister might not be able to handle her . So she frowned . As for whether another woman had come to see Ethan , that wasn't a question she particularly wanted to answer . After a pause , she said , " Ms. Hannah , maybe it's best if you came back another day ? " Hannah's face went dark . " Who do you think you are ? You think you can tell me to leave ? " 1/2 Chapter 21 The Showdown +5 Free Coins She shot the receptionist a glare , shoved her sunglasses back up , and stormed off toward the CEO's private elevator in her heels . The receptionist had only dared to offer a verbal suggestion - she wasn't about to physically stop her . She was just a low - level employee . Both Hannah and the sister were way out of her league . All she could do was send a message in the company's gossip group chat . No managers were in that chat . Everyone used nicknames . It was pure chaos and drama .. Reception : " Something's up - looks like Hannals found out Ethan didn't go to see her , so she came to the office ! Sister in danger ! " The group exploded . the Sock . " Work break ' I'm off to protect Sister ! " Warm Bellies : " Bathroom break ! I'm going to protect Sister ! " Grassy Plains : " Makeout break ! I'm going to protect Sister ! " the Sock : " What the hell ? Who's making out during work hours ? I got my eye on you ! " Punching Bag : " Focus , people . Any updates from the front lines ? Where's Hannah now ? " Reception : " She's already in the CEO's elevator ! " Crippled Avenger : " It's over . Nothing we can do now ! Richlad : " Right ? None of us peasants can even access that floor ! " Grassy Plains : "Tell Tina ! Tina can stop her ! " Reception : just saw Tina leave ! Butthurt : " Send a message - make up a family emergency - get her back NOW ! The receptionist quickly fired off a WhatsApp to Tina Reception : Tina , Hannah's here . She went to the CEO's office . " Tina was in her car on the way to the nearest mall to buy gold . As soon as she saw the message , she made a hard U - turn . Everyone at Starlight Group was now gripped by the same fear . Hannah was here in person . If she started crying or pouting , would the CEO stay rational ? People always said a man would trade a kingdom for beauty . If some men would give up their empires for a woman , what was one sister in comparison ? That's the power of a rumormill And that's exactly what Tina was worried about too . Even if the odds were low , she didn't feel safe leaving Stella alone . She wasn't going to let anyone bully her . With that thought , her hands tightened around the steering wheel , and her foot hit the gas a little harder .
