Chapter 7 Can You Still Keep Your Job?
The receptionist scrutinized Lyra once more, confirming that she wasn't some wealthy heiress but rather someone who relied on her looks to get ahead.
"Do you really think you can pass as a guest? How dare you ask to see the CEO. Do you even realize that the CEO of Angle Group is worth billions? He's not someone you, of all people, can get close to."
Lyra couldn't help but find it amusing.
With the money under her name, she could easily surpass the CEO of Angle Group by a long shot. They were seriously underestimating her.
Lyra didn't waste any more time with the employee. She put on a serious expression and said, "Call your superior and inform them that I'm here. If they refuse to see me, I'll take responsibility for the consequences."
The receptionist wanted to retort, but she was intimidated by the sharp gaze in Lyra's eyes and hesitated.
"Well, you said it yourself! You'll face the consequences!"
With a grunt, the receptionist exaggeratedly relayed the situation to her superior and looked at Lyra with increasing arrogance.
She couldn't wait to witness Lyra being thrown out by the security guards.
However...
Her laughter gradually froze on her face as she received shocking news over the phone.
Lyra, seeing her expression, could already guess what she was being told.
With a cold smirk, she asked, "Which floor?"
"The top floor, 27th..."
With the precise number in mind, Lyra pushed her luggage and confidently stepped into the elevator without looking back.
The receptionist stared at her diminishing figure, dumbfounded.
Who was this woman?
How could she make Jalen Mitchell, the CEO's personal assistant, speak to her with such respect?
Could she be... the CEO's mistress?
No, she had to quickly spread this shocking news and gossip in the chat group!
...
Lyra had an unobstructed journey to the top floor.
She pushed open the door to the CEO's office, and the man sitting on the guest sofa stood up and walked toward her.
Dressed in a deep blue suit, he exuded an air of nobility. When he looked at Lyra, a smile filled with affection and warmth appeared on his face.
"Lyra, long time no see. Congratulations on the divorce."
He spoke with a deep and indulgent voice.
"Keith?"
Lyra's eyes instantly turned red, and she was filled with surprise. She didn't expect that the current CEO of Angle Group was her own brother, Keith Lloyd!
In an instant, she dropped her luggage and rushed toward Keith, hugging him tightly.
"Keith... Did you miss me?"
She buried her head in Keith's chest.
It had been six years since they last saw each other, but she was still the same little girl who loved to act spoiled.
Keith smiled and ruffled her hair, wanting to give her everything she deserved.
"It's good that you're divorced. As the jewel of the Lloyd family, the little princess of your brothers, why should you let the Freeman family bully you?"
As his expression turned serious, Lyra quickly changed the topic.
"Keith, I signed an agreement with Dad. He wants me to increase Angle Group's performance by five percentage points within a year. You have to help me."
She used her fingers to emphasize the number five and waved it in front of Keith's eyes.
Keith led her to the couch before speaking, "Five percentage points might be a little challenging for you, but Dad has ordered me not to help you cheat. I can only assist you in certain ways, but the decision-making power is yours."
Lyra's expression instantly darkened.
Who was Keith? He was a man who held the fate of half the entertainment industry in his hands. With just a phone call, he could shake the industry, and his entertainment business extended overseas.
Her father actually anticipated that she might try to cheat!
This left her with no way out!
Seeing her gloomy expression, Keith gently pinched her cheek, feeling the soft flesh between his fingers. "Lyra, it's good to gain more experience. Now that you're here, I, as the temporary CEO, should step down."
"Don't rush to step down," Lyra stopped him.
Keith looked puzzled, "Why?"
Lyra touched her chin, as if contemplating deeply.
After a moment, she winked at Keith. "I have a fantastic proposal. How about you hear it out first, Keith?"
Keith stared at her cunning and foxy expression, completely captivated.
An hour later, the two reached an agreement.
Within five minutes, all the employees of Angle Group received an urgent notice.
It announced the upcoming appointment of a mysterious new director of star agents in the company!
