Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 770

Snow was falling over Norchester again that morning.

Diana stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of her hotel room, watching sanitation workers below shovel the accumulated snow toward the curbs and expose the gray-blue asphalt beneath.

Her phone buzzed twice on the nightstand. She crossed the room and picked it up. It was a message from Raymond.

Raymond: [Diana, did you sign the contract?]

She typed back: [Not yet. Going this morning.]

Raymond replied almost instantly.

Raymond: [Thanks for the trouble.]

Diana slipped her phone into her pocket and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

…

At 9:30 a.m. that morning, Diana arrived at the Jillson Group's headquarters right on time.

Nina followed beside her, a government document in hand, quietly briefing her on a few final details.

Diana listened as they crossed the ground-floor lobby toward the elevator bank.

When the elevator doors opened, several employees were already inside. The moment they saw her, they instinctively stepped aside to make room. A few recognized her, their eyes lingering for a brief moment before they quickly looked away.

Diana entered without a change in expression, with Nina close behind.

The elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor.

As Diana stepped out, the sole of her shoe landed on a faint patch of water left on the tile. Her foot slipped, and her body pitched forward before she could catch herself.

"Diana!"

The voice reached her before she could react.

A hand closed around her arm, steadying her with a firm pull that shifted her just enough to regain her balance.
