Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 933

The other guests at the table leaned in, curious, and Noreen found herself eager to hear this hidden truth.

Mr. Naylor took his time, speaking with a fond nostalgia. "If you were just a secretary, I wouldn't have paid much attention. But Mr. Harcourt absolutely insisted on introducing us. He dragged me around the entire gala looking for you, and when we couldn't find you, he called you himself."

"I remember thinking at the time, what kind of incredible talent could this woman be to earn such a fierce recommendation from Mr. Harcourt?"

"Later, I understood perfectly. When you showed up at my door with the InnoCore project, I saw exactly what made this young woman so formidable."

The revelation made Noreen's mind go completely blank for a second.

She remembered that night.

She had been exhausted from running the event, and her stomach issues had flared up. Feeling awful, she slipped into the lounge to grab a hot water and catch her breath.

Before she could even recover, Seth's call came through.

His tone had been sharp and demanding, completely ignoring her obvious exhaustion as he barked at her, asking where she was.

He ordered her to get back to the floor immediately.

At the time, she had firmly believed he just needed her to come out and intercept drinks for him...

She truly believed that.

If Mr. Naylor hadn't brought it up, she would still believe it to this day.

Mr. Naylor's story echoed the exact same sentiment Jennifer had shared with her later on.

Jennifer had confessed that her initial million-dollar investment was entirely based on their friendship.

But the massive influx of capital that followed was solely because Seth had backed her up as a guarantor.

So Mr. Naylor's decision to invest in her had also been because of Seth.
