Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1108

"I don't care what you have to do! Even if you have to stand in the pouring rain outside Winrich Tower and beg, you will secure this deal! If you fail, I am kicking you out of this company!"

Gia flinched, all the blood draining from her face. Her chest heaved as a suffocating wave of despair washed over her.

She knew Jason wasn't making empty threats. To the Vance family, she was completely disposable.

"I'll find a way," she forced out, her voice trembling but determined. "Give me one last chance. I will get this project."

Jason stared at her for a long time before delivering his final verdict. "You better remember. This is your last chance."

Gia nodded frantically, her eyes welling with tears.

When she stumbled out of the room, her mind was blank with terror. If she couldn't break Noreen, she was truly nothing. She'd lose her executive title, and she'd lose her chance to join the Naylor family.

Weighed down by panic, Gia returned to the Naylor estate. The whole family was gathered, including Healy.

Healy was just telling his mother about his trip to Winrich, passing on Noreen's thanks for the Pear Consommé.

Seeing Gia, Mrs. Naylor kindly asked if she had eaten and offered her a bowl of the consommé.

Normally, Gia would have refused, disgusted by the leftovers of a peace offering meant for her rival. But today, she forced a smile and drank it. It tasted like absolute ash in her mouth.

Assuming Gia was just exhausted from work, Mrs. Naylor told her to get some rest and shot Healy a look, signaling him to walk her upstairs.

Healy obliged. But halfway up the stairs, his phone buzzed. It was Jude Wilder, inviting him out for drinks at The Half-Light Club. Dylan Wilder and Seth were already there. They hadn't all been in the same city for ages.
