Leanna wrinkled her brow.
“Oh, I’ve completed all these plans,” Shelia said, handing over the proposals.
Leanna glanced at the documents before speaking. “Don’t leave after work today, Shella. There’s a dinner party tonight, and I need you to come along.”
Shelia blinked in surprise. “Me?”
she was just an intern.
Leanna offered her a reassuring smile. “I remember you mentioning that you’ve attended social gatherings and dinners before. You have experience, and I trust you to handle this.”
Shelia felt relieved. While she might be inexperienced in many areas, she was no stranger to s events, having accompanied Juan to numerous functions.

Shelia trembled slightly, her discomfort growing. These are not people to be taken lightly.”

“Leanna, I’m scared…” Shelia murmured, genuine fear in her eyes.
Leanna glanced at the bosses before reassuring Shelia. “It’s okay. It won’t take an hour.”
She picked up her phone, feigning urgency. “Shella, wait here for a moment. I have to take a call outside.”
“Leanna…” Shelia tried to stop her, but Leanna had already slipped out of the room.

The next moment, Shelia’s face paled as a man’s voice cut through the air. “Shelia, your mom owes lot in gambling debts. How do you plan to settle it?”
Shelia forced a semblance of composure, her body trembling uncontrollably. “I–I already paid you back
last time.”
Another man put his hand on her shoulder. “Your mom owes us five years of debt. You think one payment settles it?”
