"That's right," Celine responded smilingly, "I heard you have a different class than others, but seeing it today, I’m convinced! With your charm and power, no wonder you can manage such a big family. I admire that. I would be satisfied if I had half of your charm when I was young."
"You just goof around all day. You're not as sensible as Ms. Riggs," Margaret said.
Heather was a little irritated by the way they spoke to impress her. Accustomed to hearing flattery, she was tired of hearing it. She never thought that even the members of the Russell family would be so flattering.
All of the members of the Russell family had declined in her mind, save for Alexander. When she first came here, she wanted to take Alexander down, but she gave up after doing a comprehensive investigation.
It was because he was shrewd and challenging to deal with, and it was almost impossible to find any weaknesses in him. It was not because Heather feared difficulties but because she did not want a man to hinder her career. When facing a man who was as shrewd as herself, it would be troublesome to start with him.
Ralph was different. He was stupid and greedy enough, and it was too easy to start with him.
"Since we know each other, let us get to the point." She hated to waste time on insignificant things.
She surprised everyone in the Russell family. They looked at each other. Margaret smiled and said, "Ms. Riggs is straightforward, but... did you come alone today? "
Heather looked to her left and right, shrugged, and said, "Yeah?"
