Chapter 267
Chapter 267 The Girl’s Identity
Lillian headed straight to the top-floor office. The desk was already piled high with documents; clearly, word had gotten out that she was in Kingston, and everyone was eager to take advantage of the opportunity to dump their work on her.
She shook her head with a soft laugh, settled into the chair, and began tackling the stack of files.
Moments later, a knock sounded at the door-then it opened without waiting for a response.
Ryan strolled in with a mischievous grin. “Ms. Harrington, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting and waiting; thought you’d never show up p>
Lillian let out a cold laugh. “Oh, really? Funny how you never seemed to think of me like that before p>
“How could I not? You’re our backbone; the soul of this company p>
Lillian shook her head again, amusement flickering in her eyes. She finally understood her team-outwardly aloof and untouchable, but behind closed doors, a bunch of clowns.
“Enough with the flattery,” she said smoothly. “Have the legal team draft a contract. Mr. Morris from Kingston General Hospital wants us to supply their hospital with medication. Make sure this one gets handled properly p>
Ryan blinked in surprise. “Kingston General Hospital? When did you get involved with them p>
“Met them on this trip,” Lillian replied casually. “No need to overthink it. Just handle everything strictly by company policy p>
Ryan looked at his young boss with genuine admiration; she had a knack for dropping bombshells with the calmest expression, one after another.
“Got it. I’ll have the legal team get on it immediately. As for Skyreach Jewels, all the paperwork is complete. What’s our next step p>
Before she could answer, a knock interrupted them again.
“Come in,” Ryan called out, lowering his voice.
A young woman with delicate features stepped inside, carrying a glass of milk.
“Put it there,” Ryan said, pointing to the spot beside Lillian.
The secretary quickly set the glass down and slipped back out. The moment she returned to her desk, several colleagues pounced, eyes wide with curiosity.

“What’s going on? Who’s that girl p>
The secretary shook her head, just as confused. “No idea. But she’s sitting in the chairwoman’s seat p>
A collective gasp swept through the group. “Seriously? Then where was Mr. Ryan p>
“In the subordinate’s seat,” she said flatly.
A slightly older woman, flipping through a stack of files, didn’t even glance up. “Here’s a bit of advice: don’t gossip about that girl in this company. Back when we were still at Solara, she was often seen in the chairwoman’s office. Nobody knew who she was, but everyone knew one thing -the three general managers of Skyreach Group treated her with absolute respect. That should tell you everything you need to know p>
The room fell silent. The new hires scattered back to their desks, pretending to be busy.
With Skyreach Group expanding into Kingston, plenty of new staff had been brought on; most of them didn’t know the company’s unspoken rules, but the veteran employees did.
Inside the office, Lillian stared at the glass of milk with a puzzled look. Ryan raised his hands in mock innocence. “Don’t blame me. Night said that whenever you’re here, I have to make sure you drink milk. Whatever nutrition you can get out of it-well, that’s on you p>
Lillian pressed a hand to her forehead, exasperated. “Fine. You win.” Of all things, it had to be milk; the one thing she’d hated her entire life.
Suppressing her nausea, she forced down two reluctant sips before getting back to work with Ryan.
Twisting the pen in her fingers thoughtfully, Lillian said, “When we acquired Million Corp, I remember several jewelry stores under their name. We had them all renovated as showrooms for Skyreach Jewels. It’ll be the same here in Kingston-we won’t bother with storefront retail. We’re going high-end, all custom pieces, to build Skyreach Jewels’ reputation p>
