Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Yvette showed no expression, her gaze calm. She pulled out a candy from her pocket, slowly unwrapping it as she asked unhurriedly, “Want to change a job?”

Zoe was stunned in place, then nodded blankly.

At the top level of the Chambers Group, a meeting was held in a conference room that could fit hundreds of people, although only a few dozen were there now.

Among them were the shareholders from the Chambers Group and the managers from various departments. Today, th were all gathered together.

Today was the first day the eldest lady of the Chambers family took charge of the Chambers Group. No one would dare be late. That would just be asking for trouble. However, everyone sitting here had their agendas, each with a mind full of schemes.

Currently, aside from the 55% of shares held by Zachary, which gave him absolute authority, the largest shareholders were Nelson and Warron, each with 10%. They had always used their shares to exert influence.

Though not initially on good terms, after finding out yesterday that Yvette would join the Chambers Group, they quickly teamed up. Just a girl who’d won an international chess competition. It showed her chess skills. But this was business, being good at chess was meaningless.

Yvette was a girl who hadn’t even finished college. She couldn’t easily take charge of the Chambers Group. The cake wasn’t that big, and it was enough to have the two of them in the company. Besides, they heard Zachary went on a countryside vacation.

Without Zachary to support her, a young girl like her could do nothing. Nelson and Warron came prepared today. They had a tough case ready, specifically to make Yvette erhbarrassed.

In the conference room, Nelson took a sip from his coffee cup and then pretended to glance at the door.

Nelson said, “Why is she always late? There are only three minutes left, and she doesn’t realize everyone is waiting for her. Young guys today just aren’t mature.”

Warron was a lean man in his fifties. He clearly understood that Nelson was trying to smear Yvette’s reputation, and he was more than willing to contribute to tarnishing her image.

Warron added, “Well, she’s the boss here, so it’s right for us to wait. But my body’s not what it used to be. Waiting a bit makes me feel so tired.”

Nelson laughed heartily and praised Warron, “Come on, you’re still as strong as ever. You’re being modest. The Chambers Group can’t go on without you.”

The praise was as flattering as it could be, making Warron glow with happiness. The two of them bounced remarks off each other effortlessly. The veteran executives at the Chambers Group immediately understood what was going on.

The two people who usually didn’t get along were suddenly on the same side. They decided to join forces, creating an unprecedented harmony between the two factions in the meeting room.

At exactly 1:30, the door of the meeting room opened. As soon as the person standing at the entrance was seen, everyone suddenly fell silent. The whole large meeting room became so quiet that breathing seemed almost inaudible.

Yvette stood at the door, wearing a cartoon–style tracksuit and a black baseball cap. Only her cool eyes were visible, and she stood there casually, radiating a carefree and laid–back vibe.

Lucas stood behind her on the right, with another person on her left. Yvette glanced up and scanned the meeting room, saying lightheartedly, “Quite lively, huh?”

Nelson, Warron, and the rest of the Chambers Group’s executives snapped back to awareness at her words. They had all expected Yvette to come to the board meeting in formal attire.

Her outfit made her look like a student, showing a blatant disregard for the meeting. It was a humiliation for them. It was simply too much.

Nelson’s dissatisfaction was evident on his face. Warron, usually wearing a fake smile, couldn’t hide the disdain in his eyes no matter how hard he tried.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Lucas, standing behind Yvette, glanced at their expressions and sighed. It seemed unlikely those two would leave the meeting without incident today.

The Chambers Group had become a chaotic mess because of these two, constantly pushing people in and acting as if they were the major shareholders.

For minor issues like this, Zachary usually turned a blind eye, since together they hold twenty percent of the shares. Plus, Plus, they were veterans at the company, making it hard to confront them directly.

This had emboldened them over time, and now they were starting to get a bit too arrogant.

Yvette calmly walked past everyone and sat at the head of the table. It was Zoe’s first time seeing such a grand scene, so she stood nervously beside Yvette, still feeling a bit anxious.

Just a moment ago, she had agreed to be Yvette’s secretary for a week. Whether or not she could stay at the Chambers Group after the week, she needed to work diligently every moment to live up to Yvette’s guidance and trust.

Yvette casually took off her baseball cap, allowing her long hair to flow down. After she removed her mask, the conference room was left in stunned silence, with some people unable to hold back their exclamations of surprise.

She was incredibly beautiful. It was the first time they had thought someone could be described as stunningly beautiful.

Even Zoe was taken aback. On TV during the competition, they only showed distant shots of Yvette. After the coffee shop stream, no replay was available. So, only a small number of people truly experienced Yvette’s beauty.

The rest had only seen the competition on TV, which didn’t compare to the impact of seeing her beauty in person. Everyone would be attracted by her.

Yvette looked up, her eyes dark and bright, and she frowned slightly. Her fingers tapped on the table. “Let’s start the meeting.”

Those words sent a shiver through everyone present. Her voice was chilling. Warron and Nelson exchanged glances. Yvette certainly had a distinctive presence, but that didn’t affect their plans.

Warron was the first to speak, proudly addressing Yvette, “Ms. Chambers, I’m Warron. I hold ten percent of the shares in the Chambers Group. If there’s anything you don’t understand when you join the company, feel free to come to me.

“My office is below yours. You haven’t graduated from college yet, right? The company’s matters are numerous and complicated, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure about something.”

After speaking, he took a sip of his coffee, waiting for Yvette’s reaction with a cheerful smile. When people heard this, their expressions in the conference room subtly changed.

Right off the bat, Warron tried to cozy up. He was practically undermining Yvette’s authority with those words.

If she didn’t handle this well, Warron would overshadow her just after she joined the company, and it would be tough to regain her authority and command respect.

Yvette pulled out her phone and opened a cute pet game. Recently, her virtual husky was having puppies. The app had just introduced a puppy delivery simulation. She focused on her phone, completely ignoring Warron.

Seeing her watching her phone without speaking, Warron became angry. He thought, ‘Playing with her phone on such an occasion? Does she really think she is at home?‘

Just as Warron was about to make a mocking comment, Yvette looked up at him. She raised her eyebrows, displaying a bit of a rebellious and carefree aura.

Her long legs were crossed as she leaned back comfortably in the chair, a smirk on her lips. “Is ten percent of the shares considered a lot?

“Why should I turn to you for help? Who do you think you
