Chapter 481

Chapter 481:
She walked over to the secretaries’ desk and waited. Glancing at the closed door of the CEO’s office and the drawn window blinds, she couldn’t shake an uneasy sense of peculiarity.
The secretaries at the desk looked at her strangely today. Most of them knew about the issues between her and Milton and had seen her before.
However, their odd expressions, glances, and overall demeanor made Candice realize something was amiss.
Who could Milton be meeting inside his office?
She endured the wait for about an hour.
Finally, Blair received a phone call and approached the CEO’s office to open the door.
Candice turned her head to observe, seeing a vast office space. At the far end, Milton stood upright by the window. Before him stood a woman, gazing up at him with a contented smile.
She had an elegant stature, wearing an exquisitely crafted and undoubtedly expensive lavender-purple dress. Her short hair gave off a refreshing aura, highlighting her unique beauty. They conversed, and the woman occasionally laughed joyfully.
Sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow upon them, accentuating their stunning combination of beauty and power.
Candice felt a sense of unease.
At that moment, the woman slowly turned around.
She was stunningly beautiful, confident, and independent. This was Candice’s initial impression.
As Candice observed further, she noted that the woman exuded elegance and dignity, suggesting an impressive educational background. This became her second thought.
The woman had striking eyes, a straight nose, full lips, and a mature temperament. Undoubtedly, she was a true beauty.

Suddenly, a wave of whispered discussion erupted behind Candice.
“Look! It’s the renowned Sigrid Olson from the famous Olson family.”
“I’ve heard so much about her, but this is my first time actually seeing her.”
The Olson family had once been a prominent name in Anoh but had relocated abroad a few years ago. They were known as one of the most influential families in the country, with many celebrities among them. Sigrid herself was widely acclaimed. She had completed both her master’s and doctoral studies at a prestigious university and gained worldwide recognition as a renowned painter. She had organized numerous successful art exhibitions and recently ventured into design, earning significant fame in that field as well.
“Guess what? Sigrid and Mr. Lopez actually went to the same university. Sigrid is one year ahead of him.”
“I heard she will be joining Royal Garden Corporation as the creative director.”
“Oh, I see. Royal Garden Corporation began in the department store industry and now manages over a dozen top fashion brands. They definitely need top-tier designers.”
