Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 937

At noon, Claire texted Noreen saying she had a crucial business meeting that evening and wouldn't be home to cook, telling Noreen to sort out her own dinner.

Noreen texted back, "Why are you suddenly so swamped with work?"

Claire replied with a smug emoji. "It means I'm about to be famous!"

Noreen deadpanned, "Do you know the three great illusions of life?"

"What are they?"

"The stock market is going to crash, the economy is going to boom, and 'I'm about to be famous'."

Claire sent back a vigorously head-shaking meme. "It should be the four great illusions."

"The stock market is going to crash, the economy is going to boom, he still loves you, and 'this time it will be different'."

Noreen stared at her phone.

Conversation terminated.

Claire, the ultimate conversation killer, didn't forget to add one last reminder: "Don't forget about your assistant!"

Noreen replied, "Already on it. Sophia is probably handling the interviews right now."

Claire sent an 'OK' sign, officially ending their chat.

Just as she put her phone down, Sophia knocked and entered the office, a highly conflicted expression on her face.

Noreen frowned slightly. "Shouldn't you be doing interviews right now?"

Sophia scratched her head. "I am, but I'm having a really hard time making a final call. Ms. Gilmore, could you maybe come take a look yourself?"

Sophia had been with Noreen for five years. Her competence was undeniable.

For her to be this conflicted, something incredibly unusual must have happened.

"Bring me their resumes."

Sophia was prepared. She instantly handed over the finalized stack. "There are five candidates who made it to the final round. Four women, one man."

Noreen looked confused. "Didn't I specifically say I only wanted female candidates? Why is there a man?"

Sophia hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "This last candidate... his resume is just too extraordinary..."

Seeing Noreen's piercing gaze, Sophia decided to just rip the bandage off. "Honestly, you should just look at his resume before you decide."
