Chapter 272<\/div>\n
Every time a new head was appointed at the company, there was a shift in senior executives.<\/div>\n
The new leader would prefer to surround themselves with their own team.<\/div>\n
After Mr. Stevens explained things, Hank immediately took a liking to Shawn. With a smile, Hank asked Mr. Stevens, \u201cAre you close with Mr. Lowe? Could you introduce us? Lowe Enterprise has a subsidiary that deals with electronics, and there are opportunities for collaboration, but we\u2019ll need someone to facilitate the connection.\u201d<\/div>\n
Waltham Electronics had dealings with the company Mr. Stevens worked for, which was how he became acquainted with Shawn.<\/div>\n
Mr. Stevens smiled and responded, \u201cShawn seems to be getting overwhelmed by the compliments; he\u2019ll soon find a place to sit. I\u2019ll make sure to introduce you once he arrives.\u201d<\/div>\n
Hank grinned, thankful to Mr. Stevens, and raised his glass, saying, \u201cTo you, Mr. Stevens.\u201d<\/div>\n
Mr. Stevens clinked glasses with Hank and took a few sips of wine before casting a suggestive glance at Jessica. He remarked to Hank, \u201cMs. Yates looks stunning tonight. Mr. Brown, you\u2019re quite a fortunate man.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve secured a high-paying managerial position at such a young age and have a beautiful woman by your side. Anyone would envy your situation, Mr. Brown.\u201d<\/div>\n
It was not unusual for men like Hank to have affairs with their secretaries; this was an unspoken truth.<\/div>\n
In business settings, men typically brought their wives as plus-ones only if they had a loving relationship and if their wives were capable of handling the social demands. In most cases, however, they would choose to bring their secretaries or mistresses.<\/div>\n
This was why genuine heirs like Zachary and Clive would abstain from such events. They belonged to a circle where individuals of status and power exclusively brought their wives to every social gathering. The wives of<\/div>\n

The wealthy and influential had their own exclusive community, one that no mistress could penetrate, regardless of whether she had displaced a wife. These powerful wives refused to associate with a woman who had stolen a husband. <\/p>\n

Hank looked at Jessica with delight and exclaimed, \u201cMs. Yates is my right-hand woman. I can\u2019t accomplish anything without her.\u201d <\/p>\n

With a blush creeping onto her cheeks, Jessica responded gracefully, \u201cMr. Stevens, you flatter me. I might take your words to heart. I have nothing on Scarlet.\u201d <\/p>\n

Scarlet was Mr. Stevens\u2019 lover and secretary. He often brought her to business meetings at Waltham Electronics, which is how Jessica got to know her. Outside of work, the two women shared a strong friendship. <\/p>\n

Scarlet also advised Jessica on how to captivate Hank, suggesting that the more he fell for her, the better her chances would be of removing Liberty and stepping into the role of Mrs. Brown. <\/p>\n

Mr. Stevens smiled and remarked, \u201cYou\u2019re all wonderful girls.\u201d <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Shawn seized the opportunity to distance himself from the throng of admirers surrounding him. Spotting Hank and Mr. Stevens mingling with a less prominent crowd, he made his way over. <\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Lowe,\u201d he called. <\/p>\n

As Shawn approached, Mr. Stevens stood up and greeted him politely. <\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, call me Shawn, Mr. Stevens,\u201d Shawn replied, aware that he was currently just a low-level employee at Lowe Enterprise. <\/p>\n

Without hesitation, Mr. Stevens shifted to a more familiar address. As Hank stood up, Mr. Stevens introduced him to Shawn.<\/p>\n
