Lydia encouraged him.
“Out with it. No need for hesitation.”
“Well…” With his gaze lowered, the team leader voiced his concern reluctantly.
“Mr. Henry Phillips has already caused frustration for both the leader and the liaison of our client. We fear that even a perfect proposal might be futile.”
“Just draft the plan, and we’ll review it during our online meeting.
I’ll take care of the client relations. That’s not your burden to bear. You may return to your duties now.” Lydia reassured him.
Acknowledging her instructions, the team leader exited with the proposal in hand.
Upon departing from the firm, Lydia informed Jaylin’s secretary, “Please convey to my father that I have secured our client’s data and have already headed home.”
“Certainly, Miss Phillips. Do you want a driver to drive you back home?”
Dismissing the offer with a gesture, Lydia assured, “Inform my dad that I’m safe. I have no intention of fleeing.”
She took a taxi and, once inside, eagerly dialed Hannah.
“Hannah! Today at the office, I stumbled upon something extraordinary!”
“What happened?” Hannah’s relaxed voice echoed from the phone.
With a hushed tone, Lydia confessed, “I suspect there’s something going on between my brother and our dad’s illegitimate daughter.
Today, as I burst into the office, I discovered Estrella sitting on the floor, and my brother seemed completely flustered. At first, I thought a dispute had erupted, but upon our departure, EstreLla’s demeanor towards my brother was suspiciously intimate. Something is amiss.”

Hannah’s laughter trickled through the phone, teasing, “You’re like a skittish rabbit, suspicious of everything.”
“That’s not the case!” Lydia protested, striving to modulate her voice amidst the taxi’s confines, her tone laced with agitation.
“My instincts are seldom wron”
“Relying solely on instincts could lead to unwarranted allegations,”
Hannah said, her words laced with an assuring smile.
“I’ll look into it. But resist confronting your brother impulsively.
“I have no such plan! I’m not naive. It’s just… I feel so weird and I just need to get it off my chest. Even my mother will hear nothing of this from me.”
Hannah sighed in relief at Lydia’s discretion.
“Very well, await my update. By the way, what was your father’s directive regarding the partnership today?”
