I practically bounced out of the car when Lucas pulled up to the mansion. My neck still ached a little from the brace, but I ignored it.
Elena greeted me at the door with a warm smile, but I barely paused to say hello before rushing upstairs to change. I wanted to see Stephan. I needed to share this victory with him.
I chose a simple but elegant outfit, a soft yellow blouse and fitted skirt that made me feel confident and feminine. I left my hair loose and added a touch of lipstick. Then I asked Lucas to drive me straight to Stephan's company instead of staying home.
The Maxwell Empire headquarters rose impressively against the skyline.
When I stepped out of the car, the staff at the entrance bowed deeply in respect. Their eyes widened slightly in recognition.
I walked through the grand lobby with my head high, feeling every bit the wife of the CEO.
