?Chapter 74:


    Paige guided Elena to a secluded corner of the office. Without a desk in sight, only a bench was avable. “The design team is at capacity, and unfortunately, there are no vacancies. You’ll have to make do here for now. It’s a busy ce, and everyone’s too upied to guide neers, so you’ll need to manage on your own…”


    While feigning busyness, Paige’s demeanor changed instantly upon spotting Elyse at the entrance.


    Abruptly sidelining Elena, she hastened to wee Elyse warmly.


    “Miss Harper, it’s a pleasure to see you! I’m Paige Waller, the HR manager. Had I known you were visiting, I would have met you downstairs.”


    Having recognized Elyse from the annual corporate gathering, Paige was aware she was the heir of the Harper family.


    Paige considered herself skilled at assessing people, and she viewed Elyse as a true Harper, not just a distant rtive looking to cling to the Harper family for benefits.


    If she could make a good impression on Elyse, maybe one day Elyse would put in a good word for her with Alexander, giving her career a much-needed boost!


    With this in mind, Paige offered a warm smile. “Your skirt is exquisite, straight off thetest runway, isn’t it? It looks stunning on you.”


    Elyse stood out in her outfit of a soft yellow blouse paired with a white midi skirt and silver stilettos.


    Her attire exuded sophistication and a subtle touch of luxury. While her facial features weren’t particrly striking, her choice in designer wear lent her an unmistakable aura of elegance.


    With a sweet smile, Elyse expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Ms. Waller.”


    Her demeanor was calm and her smile sincere, reflecting the grace of a well-bred young woman.


    Paige found herself feeling a genuine affection for Elyse, who was far more gracious and cultured than Elena.


    “Miss Harper, your office is prepared. I’ll take you there now,” Paige offered warmly.


    As she turned, she caught Elena’s nonchnt stare, causing her smile to momentarily waver.

    “What are you looking at? Find something to keep yourself busy!” Paige snapped.


    The moment Ruby entered the office, she noticed a cluster of employees whispering among themselves.


    “I heard two new hires joined today. One of them is from the Harper family—here as an intern.”


    “Someone from the Harpers? Shouldn’t she be at the headquarters? Whye here?”


    “Who knows? Just be careful not to cross her.”


    “Wait, there are two of them. Which one’s the Harper girl?”


    “Isn’t it obvious? Look at how Paige is falling over herself to please her. It must be the one who arrivedst.”


    Ruby’s eyesnded on Elena, and a flicker of recognition crossed her face.


    It was the same woman who had shoved her out of the elevator, almost making herte!
