My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 49

With William’s persuasion, Whitney agreed to work at the Norham subsidiary of Larson Corporation, taking on the role of deputy CEO.

At that time, she had chosen to be a leader in a mediocre environment in Norham rather than a nob*dy in an extraordinary setting under the constant scrutiny of Kimberly.

Prior to departing, Whitney, accompanied by William, made her way to bid farewell to Yandel Larson.

She followed William’s advice, ensuring that each action she took was precise, especially when attempting to gain Yandel’s approval.

When Yandel Larson heard Whitney was leaving Dellmoor, he couldn’t help but feel immense joy, even though he was reluctant.

He saw a glimmer of hope in her decision.

In the past, Yandel had consistently criticized William, claiming that his excessive pampering of Whitney could turn even a genius into a fool.

However, his words seemed to have no lasting effect, often passing through them like a fleeting breeze.

That was why he had placed all his expectations on Kimberly.

Kimberly was undeniably remarkable.

She hadn’t been raised by her biological parents from an early age, and he had heard that her foster father was rather ordinary. Fortunately, she had found a caring foster mother who kept her from going astray.

Yandel was also concerned Whitney’s decision might be impulsive, and he worried she might quit halfway through.

Therefore, he gave her thoughtful and detailed advice.

“Whitney, I am very pleased you can think and act as you do now. But when you go out, remember that your every word and action reflects not only on you but on the entire Larson Corporation. You’ve been spoiled by your dad since you were a child, and your exposure to the real world has been limited. As you move forward, you will

undoubtedly encounter various challenges. You must avoid acting like a young lady and put the best interests of the company first.”

As Yandel spoke those words, he deliberately turned his gaze toward William as if to

express his disapproval of William’s parenting methods.

Whitney, standing nearby, listened intently as if silently saying, ‘Look, Grandpa, I really have decided to turn over a new leaf.

It was probably the first time Yandel had ever talked to her like that.

When Whitney was with Yandel, she usually acted playfully like a little girl.

However, she deliberately made a noticeable change in her appearance when she came to visit today.

In the past, she had a penchant for wearing provocative dresses, but now she chose to wear high-end tailored suits.

She felt very confident, and most of all, she knew that Yandel appreciated her having dressed like that.

As Yandel spoke, she refrained from interrupting and listened attentively, much like a diligent student absorbing the sincere teachings and advice of a teacher.

Whitney also used a strategic approach to create expectations, starting with a reflection. on her past behavior. She expressed regret for wasting time in the past and emphasized her commitment to work hard in the future.

Finally, with great reluctance, she expressed her intention to take Kimberly as a role model in the future.

Yandel Larson was very pleased when he heard that.

He thought it would be wonderful if Whitney could adopt that attitude and support. Kimberly in the future, given the lack of descendants in the Larson family.

In the meantime, before Whitney went to Norham, Kimberly had briefed the Norham subsidiary’s general manager, Charlie Lincoln, advising him to handle official matters. professionally and not to show any favoritism because of Whitney’s family connections. to the Larson family.

Later, Charlie was very grateful to Kimberly for warning him.

When Whitney arrived at the Norham subsidiary, she appeared calm and seemed to put aside any previous resentment toward Yandel Larson.

She thought of herself as someone with powerful connections, a leader transferred from headquarters.

Her demeanor was saturated with arrogance, as if she were declaring, “From now on, I’m in charge here, and you all must obey my authority.”

Whitney’s first impression of the general manager, Charlie, was less than favorable.

That happened because he treated her professionally, without trying to gain her favor or praise her just because of her connection to the Larson family.

With Charlie’s guidance, she came over to see her own office.

She stood at the door, scanning the room, with no intention of entering.

“Can

anyone work in an office like this?” she said with a hint of disdain.

With that, she went to the general manager’s office to have a look.

As Charlie led the way, he couldn’t help but mutter silently, ‘What have I done wrong to deserve this conceited lady sent from headquarters to make my life miserable?.

Much to Charlie’s surprise, Whitney confidently walked into his office, occupied his chair, and even spun around in it with obvious glee.

Then she got up and started exploring the office as if on a personal tour of her new workplace.

Charlie watched the unpredictable woman before him and thought, ‘Yes, she’s not an easy person to deal with. She’s trying to take over my office illegally.

In response, Whitney gave Charlie a faint smile and spoke in a soft and sweet tone, “Mr. Lincoln, I find your office quite charming. I fell in love with it at first sight. As someone who may be getting married and starting a family soon, the newly renovated office might not be the best fit for me. How about we swap offices for now, and I can switch. back with you in a few months?”

Anyone who had to deal with someone like Whitney would have sympathy for Charlie.

If he were to say no at that stage of the conversation, it might be perceived as rude.

So Charlie offered Whitney his office on her first day at the company.

Fortunately, it was a personal matter.

However, he made it abundantly clear that when it came to work-related matters, he would keep his boundaries firmly in place.

In reality, Whitney’s arrival was a means of asserting her power over everyone.

It was a reminder that her real background and identity should not be forgotten, event though she held the title of deputy CEO.

The new deputy CEO had caused great concern among the employees of the

subsidiary.

All of them were hoping to avoid being placed under her supervision.

She was as intimidating as a femme fatale.

Their job was already challenging, and the thought of having a supervisor like her made their future careers appear as if they would be a dreadful ordeal.

Given that she had recently arrived in a new place, it was natural for Whitney to seek out familiar faces to establish connections with.

Whitney didn’t have many friends in Norham, but she had recently heard that Ivy had returned.

“Hey dear, it’s me, Whitney. I’m in Norham. How about we go out for a drink?”

Whitney and Ivy were relatives, but they had never been in touch.

They had first met at a gathering during their time abroad, so their relationship wasn’t particularly close.

Ivy was engrossed in her design project when she got a phone call from Whitney.

She hesitated at first but then considered that Whitney was still part of the Larson family and it might be unwise to offend her.

More connections often led to more opportunities, and she couldn’t rule out the possibility that Whitney’s help might be needed in the future.

With those thoughts in mind, Ivy promptly put down her paintbrush, tidied. workspace, and informed the others that she was leaving to meet a friend. When Ivy arrived, she found Whitney already there, talking to a man.

Whitney’s provocative outfit had caught the attention of onlookers, so it wasn’t entirely unexpected.

Whitney immediately ended her conversation with the man when she noticed Ivy’s arrival.

She was aware that Ivy had more conservative preferences and didn’t like people who were overly enthusiastic.

Whitney had already considered Ivy a confidante not long after. So she began to share her recent experiences.

Ivy showed a surprised expression when she heard them
